Who's ready for the
Cheribundi Cherrt Tart Boca Rotan Bowl?!??!!!!
............What happended to the Blue-Gray Game?.........
............I just went thru
ESPN's Playoff Machine. My projections changed nothing from the current playoff scenario..........
............I would have been mildly surprised & impressed if the Rams were able to squeak out a win in Seattle. To see them stomp a mudhole into the Seahawks chest while on Seattle's front lawn was another story. Quietly, the Rams have the NFL's best pt diff. They and Jax are the only teams in the NFL's top 5 in off/def pts per game. We might need to pay more attention to the Rams.........
..........Speaking of the Seattle, I wonder if they will become the NFC's West version of the Cowboys. In that they will be the division's most hated franchise. Teams in the NFC East hate Dallas because they have consistently been the team the others needed to get past. I was just thinking about how the Seahawks have been atop the West for so long. First, they butted heads with the Niners, then it was the Cards, now its the Rams. Others go up and down. But Seattle has stayed consistent.........
........Remember when it seemed like every other kicker was named Zedejas?.........
.........Nice to finally see the Panther's secondary make plays instead of just making sure they were close enough to see the WR catch the pass. I've been waiting for this unit to become a strength like the coaching staff has been predicting. They aren't there yet. But at least they are causing some turnovers.
And continued progress will certainly be needed. The Panthers could be w/o 2 starting LB's moving forward. Shaq Thompson has sat the last 2 games due to injury & Thomas Davis was rightly suspended for an illegal hit (though I think it should have been for just one game). Davis obviously was remorseful for his blindside block on Davonte Adams. But it is also obvious that NFL players aren't as concerned about each other's safety as they should. Proper discipline isn't for solely administering punishment. It's purpose should be to make sure the same thing doesn't happen again. So if the NFL is going to continue to raise the penalty in order to make players more aware, I'm all for it...........
..........Watching the Patriots is like seeing a rasslin' heel walk away w/the belt after the ref's head was turned when the low blow was delivered..........
.........If you were Kirk Cousins, would you fake a mild injury these last 2 weeks?...........
........Don't you think Goodell should have made a statement by now about Jerry Richardson? Something tells me he's afraid to answer questions about when he learned of JR's past indiscretions and what he did about them..............
........What happened to Tim Biakabutuka?.........
.......Just think.......in 2015 the Browns went 3-13. If they don't win in the last 2 weeks, they would have gotten progressively worse each season since. Three in 2015, 1 last year, 0 this year. Just 2 wins in 26 months. Eight teams this year have won 2 in a week's time, playing Sunday & then the Thursday night game..........
