So instead of hearing about Favre every day until the Super Bowl we get to see grainy color film of the Manning boys playing catch in the backyard and hear tales of Drew Brees in his motor boat picking people off roofs. I’m mainly happy that I don’t have to hear Rex Ryan blathering on […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?I’ve gone a mediocre 4-4 in the playoff games this season, so the odds of a 1-1 record today are very good. My belief that the best passing teams will prevail is hurting my record; damn you Jets! So will I learn from my mistakes? Of course not! Do you have more respect for the […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?For nearly a decade the NFC has been inferior to the AFC. There have occasionally been some teams at the top with enough talent to beat the best teams in the AFC, but by the time we get to the NFC Championship Game only one of the two teams seems likely to be competitive in […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Sunday 3:00 EST New York Jets @ Indianapolis Shonn Greene has unofficially moved passed Thomas Jones on the run first offense of the J-E-T-S. There is no reason to think he won’t see the majority of the carries once again this week, but don’t be surprised if Jones comes in on big downs because Ryan […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?The 2009-2010 NFL playoffs has featured plenty of pass-happy teams. The good news is that 3 of the 4 remaining teams have an abundance of fantasy-relevant QB’s, WR’s, and TE’s. The bad news is that one of this weekend’s two matchups offers a much better situation than the other. Sunday 3:00 EST New York Jets […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?It’s that time of the year where we look back on our stupid moves and pretend to learn from them. Did you just waste away your life hoping Matt Forte would stop sucking? No! You have become a better person for it! Or, you are still curled up on your bathroom floor in the fetal […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?I’m not a big fan of wide receivers. They are predictably unpredictable and they often sulk and whine more than they’re worth. Ask Mr. Matt Millen how things go when you try to build a team around wide receivers. Oh, Oh and sixteen, hmmm, that sounds rather putrid. But before I bash wide receivers into […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Another weekend of playoff games, another blowout fest until the very last game, but even that game wasn’t really in doubt toward the end. Hopefully next week we’ll get a little more excitement with Favre in the bayou and Manning navigating around Revis Island. Here are my thoughts and postulations and consternations on the divisional […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?I amazingly predicted yesterday’s games correctly so there is a good chance I will go o-fer today. But I’ll give the old MFA in Poetry from a small art school try! I’ll take a look at all four of the playoff games on Monday, so for now get your game face on (not your O […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?The divisional round of the playoffs is nigh! Amazingly each game this weekend looks like it should be good. Of course last week we may have thought the same thing and 3 out of 4 of the games were prescribed for insomnia by 3 out of 4 doctors. I’m very much hoping that this weekend […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?The majority of the playoff teams got here by throwing the ball, but we see two teams in the divisional round that arrived via the ground. The Jets and Ravens are living by the old adage that a great defense and a good running game win championships. This weekend we get to test that theory. […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Last week I included a little “What to Watch” question with each game. I started to do the same this week, then I realized that I would mostly be watching the same thing in each game — will the team that had a first round bye week exhibit any signs of rust? Especially the passing […]
