Don’t you just hate that… making a bad thing look good. If you watched the NFL this past weekend, you know what I’m talking about. Who is real? Who is an imposter? Sometimes, it’s tough to tell. This NFL script certainly keeps us on our toes.
It kind of reminds me of when the Cubs face a pitcher for the first time, and make him look like Cy Young… Did you happen to catch Monday Night Football? What a joke. The Jaguars made this Browning character look like Joe Montana; who the hell saw this coming? I should know better by now, to expect the unexpected, but holy cow… Browning played a better game on MNF than Burrow had all year long. Does that mean the Bengals are back??? How about Jordan Love against the Chiefs and the Lions the past 2 weeks? He’s looking like we made him look Week 1 against us. I swear the NFL just wants to force this dude on us… is he really as good as he has looked the past couple weeks? If those were 2 of the top surprises this weekend, the 3rd had to be the Steelers losing at home to the Cardinals; wtf?!?! And don’t look now, but the Steelers may have a new starting QB due to the Pickett injury; hello Mitch.
Looking ahead to next week, the Steelers host the Patriots; if you thought Panthers Bears was bad… we may have a runner up. Trubisky against the Belicheat defense; the hapless Pats against the Steelers defense. We may have a 0-0 score before it’s all said and done. Woo hoo! Meanwhile, the Bengals go back home to face the playoff bound Colts; that’s right, I said it… playoff bound Colts! Who would have predicted that, especially with the Colts losing their starting QB. Well, let’s just see how Mr. Browning does in this one, shall we? And the Packers, well, they travel to the Big Apple to face the Giants on MNF; I think I’ve found my live dog for the week… I certainly don’t think Love is as good as he’s looked the past couple weeks. You have plenty of people jumping on that bandwagon, but not me… no way, no how. Let’s see how he looks on the road outdoors against a Giants team that is playing their assess off for work from home Tommy DeVito…
The one team that looked impressive as hell… the one team I was waiting to bet on in this specific game for almost a year (and did btw)… is the San Francisco 49ers. They are my Super Bowl favorite. I heard something, haven’t verified it, but… when Purdy, McCaffrey, and Deebo are all on the field for a full game, the Niners are 16-0… is that right? Holy shit. Quite the big 3 on the Niners offense, and we’re not even mentioning Kittle and Aiyuk. And oh yeah, their defense is pretty damn good too. They did lose that guy from the secondary that was amazing, but they’re still solid. This is one team that I believe IS for real… not some team that is being made to look good by another team’s sloppy performance.
Back to that Chiefs Packers game before we leave… and that blown PI call late. First off, it’s hilarious that the Chiefs complain considering they get all the calls. Secondly, now you know what we know about playing in Lambeau… you have to play against the refs too. The Chiefs and Packers… they deserve each other. That would be the biggest of biggest fixed games of all time if they ever met again on the big stage. Mahomes and the Packers… two NFL darlings; I think I just threw up in my mouth. OK, moving on…
