We still have the Monday Night games are through the Monday Night games, but so let’s run back through the week that was. First things first, that was one hellova gift from the Eaglets; the Pack had no business being in that game offensively. The defense stepped up nicely, even though Wile E. Thompson’s Golden (Crutch) Boy, Justin Harrell, spent the day in street clothes. Special teams got REAL lucky they ran into a punt return team more inept than their own. Needless to say, I blew the call.
On to the rest of the NFL:
New Orleans 10 @ Indianapolis 41 (-6) – Saints ain’t ready for prime time.
Tennessee 13 @ Jacksonville 10 (-6.5) – That’ll learn me to trust the preseason.
Pittsburgh 34 @ Cleveland 7 (+5.5) – Meet the New NewBrowns. Same as the Old NewBrowns.
New England 38 (-6.5) @ NY Jets 14 – While malcontent + good O-line – 4th rounder = blowout is true, I still don’t think Moss was worth a 4th rounder (because the Packers put the “offensive” in O-line).
Atlanta 3 @ Minnesota 24 (-3) – I might have made a mistake in giving the Pack the season sweep.
Carolina 27 @ St. Louis 13 (-1.5) – Those that have Vernand Morency better pay attention to what happened to Steven Jackson.
Denver 15 (-3-LOSS) @ Buffalo 14 – Prayers for Kevin Everett, who suffered a cervical spine injury.
Kansas City 3 @ Houston 20 (-3) – I was right about taking the under 37.5.
Miami 13 @ Washington 16 (-3-TIE) – Yeah, this game was weak; it also was an overtime game, so I’m fortunate to not take a fat “L” on this one.
Chicago 3 (+6.5) @ San Diego 14 – I probably would’ve taken the under at 23 as well.
Tampa Bay 6 @ Seattle 20 (-6) – I’m glad the Pack doesn’t play the Seahags during the regular season; they’re specializing in taking out players.
Detroit 36 @ Oakland 21 (-2) – I should’ve stuck with the normalcy.
NY Giants 35 @ Dallas 45 (-6) – DOWN GOES MANNING! DOWN GOES MANNING! Fortunately, it wasn’t the Manning on my roster.
Baltimore 20 @ Cincinnati 27 (-3) – I told you to take the offense.
Arizona 17 @ San Francisco 20 (-3-TIE) – What the FUCK happened to Larry Fitzgerald? Did Larry Fine replace him? FUCK!
Since I took all the favorites to win in my no-spread confidence pool, that leaves me at 12-4 straight-up and 7-7-2 against the spread. Not too shabby for Weak 1, considering that is usually my Week of Doom.
Those performanes leave me at 3-1 so far in fantasy ball, but the team I’m losing to is out of players, and I still have 3 to go. That drink (I think I’ll make it an Uncle Jimbo Bacardi and Coke) is going to taste very good once I make up that 25 points.
DAMN! SHIT! FUCK! Where the hell did my receivers go? FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!
Justin Harrell and Marquand Manuel are the poster children for Ted Thompson’s incompetence.
You forgot the Packer game….
Wile E Coyote
Super Genious.
You didn’t read the whole thing, Fred.
Shucks…you seem a tad annoyed. :)
Whatever gave you that idea? A ticky-tack offensive pass interference, a bounce off the helmet, two pairs of alligator arms; yeah, I’m a tad annoyed, especially since Uncle Fred drilled me for a $6 drink.
