NFL Week 5 recap

Thursday:

[Colts 12, Broncos 9 OT]

Damn, sure wish I had Amazon Prime so I could have watched every second of this. What in the hell has happened to Russell Wilson, seriously? If this is what he is now this might be the fastest collapse ever from a great QB. And Denver gave up 3 1sts, players, and a fortune for him. Yee-owwwch. 

Sunday:

[Giants 27, Packers 22]

Is it possible the Packers are just not that good? Is it possible the Giants actually ARE good? By the time I woke up the Packers already had a multi-score lead, so I didn't even check in til late. But Rodgers had a couple chances to end the game and didn't and got burned. I have been tricked before into thinking the Packers are sinking for good, but the NFC North is very winnable. 

[Patriots 29, Lions 0]

Lions had the highest scoring offense in football, then get blanked. So is this just a Lions moment or is Belichick getting his defensive swagger back? 

[Buccaneers 21, Falcons 15]

I cannot believe it is October 2022 and NFL officials are still blatantly rigging games for Tom Brady. 

[Bills 38, Steelers 3]

This was simply unfair. Buffalo remains the super bowl favorites. 

[Titans 21, Commanders 17]

Pretty nondescript game, although the Titans seem like the least shitty AFC South team at the moment. 

[Jets 40, Dolphins 17]

Miami keeps losing quarterbacks and with it their early heat as a contender. The Jets are 3-2 and looking competent. 

[Saints 39, Seahawks 32]

That annoying Taysom Hill had a big game. Even in a loss this bizarre revival of Geno Smith continues. 

[Chargers 30, Browns 28]

Some very idiotic coach and player decisions on both sides. Still have no idea what to make of either team. 

[Texans 13, Jaguars 6]

Jacksonville had a 14 point lead in Philly last week. What a fall. When Trevor Lawrence is bad, boy is he bad. 

[49ers 37, Panthers 15]

Matt Rhule got fired after this drubbing. Baker Mayfield has been a disaster and is now hurt. Enjoy the race for the #1 pick, Panthers. 

[Cowboys 22, Rams 10]

Indeed, Cooper Rush may never lose if his defense never gives up more than 17 points in his starts. The Rams title hangover is very strong. Stafford looks awful. Even their wins have been meh. They might be struggling to make the playoffs. 

[Eagles 20, Cardinals 17]

I thought this might be the Eagles first loss, but they grinded out the win. Arizona continues to be an enigma. 

[Ravens 19, Bengals 17]

Ravens did just enough to avoid another home loss, and get an early edge on likely their only competition for a division title. 

Monday:

[Chiefs 30, Raiders 29]

It's become comical how little it matters if the Chiefs are down by a couple scores early. You just knew Mahomes would get it done. Some Raiders stupidity helped. Josh McDaniels should not have got a second chance as a head coach.

Message Board Classics: 2004 NFL Season

Preseason kickoff post (and other posts): Oh yes, it IS that time again. Training camps are open. The first preseason games are less than a week away. Players are already being idiots. It's the best time of the sports year. It is not yet the time for predictions, but I'll hit on some of the big recent stories. Ricky Williams retires. Well, we know now he did so cuz he was gonna be suspended for using marijuana. He's a little shit as far as I'm concerned. You do not abandon your team when he did. He had every right to retire, but do it at least before the draft. He's left the Dolphins with zero chance of making the playoffs. They couldn't go get Eddie George or Antowain Smith, nor could they draft a RB. The Cowboys cut Quincy Carter. I spent all offseason pleading with Dallas to go get a QB like Warner or Collins or Garcia. Instead they fail to upgrade, and now take a step back. Vinny is 80 years old and has little if anything left. My prediction is that Drew Hen...

Awful NFL season ends with awful Super Bowl

BUCCANEERS 31 CHIEFS 9 The 2020 NFL season is over. Thank god! A season that was almost across the board unenjoyable, and felt empty and largely felt manipulated, ended with the worst outcome imaginable. With a result that not only continues this 20 year nightmare but that will frankly hurt the NFL for years to come. I was not looking forward to this game. I knew this was going to happen. Maybe not in blowout fashion but I knew the NFL was going to see to it that Tom Brady got his 7th title. The house wins. The game was never fun. Right from the start the Chiefs seemed sleepy, like they weren't really in it. This team plays with swagger, but in this game they had none. Patrick Mahomes was under enormous pressure from the start. The Chiefs grabbed the 1st lead at 3-0 but then from basically the end of the 1st quarter until halftime it was a nightmare. The Chiefs offense remained lifeless. The Chiefs defense did manage a goal line stand that at the moment seemed like it could be a tu...
