Hey, Lovie Smith seemed like a decent negro in Chicago, and a fine football coach. . .but he and the Bucs sold their soul for Winston, and now it seems Satan sold them a bill of goods with Famous Jameis, the most unprepared QB I've seen this side of the midget.
The Bucs need Winston to be the disaster he will be, because they need to learn a little about responsibility, integrity and honesty. Everything you need to know about Lovie Smith, the Bucs and their need to be punished by the football gods can be learned from this old headline:
Buccaneers Never Talked To Jameis Winston Accuser Because 'They Knew What She Would Say.'
Yeah, they knew she would say Winston raped her. . .
Fuck Tampa for rewarding a rapist. . .
Denver +3 at Kansas City: Remember how Tom Brady looked washed-up early last season, when the Chiefs kicked the shit out of the Patriots? We are primed for a repeat here, with Peyton Manning, who already looks washed-up after his rough opening week game against Baltimore, getting the bum's rush this time. Manning looks like he's held together with gauze and pads, and you get the feeling he's one big hit away from being carried off the field on stretcher, permanently. The Broncos managed to win last despite Manning, because their defense overwhelmed Joe Flacco. It's tough to win that way two weeks in a row in the NFL. Kansas City.
Tampa Bay +10 at New Orleans: A NFC South special! As bad as New Orleans looked in their opening loss to Arizona, Tampa was a 1000x worse. Jameis Winston is nowhere near ready for the National Football League, and Lovie Smith, who is quickly trashing his Chicago coaching reputation with his catastrophic Florida failure, will NOT win a game this year unless he sits Winston for Mike Glennon, a serviceable NFL QB. Why Smith refuses to play Glennon, and grasps at straws like Josh *Crybaby* McClown and the rapist Winston, is beyond me. Glennon gave Smith his only Tampa hi-lite, a win in Pittsburgh last year. Tampa's defense looks like it has quit on the season, already, no doubt because they know their offense, under Winston, is going to leave them in impossible situations week-after-week. As for the Saints, they looked just as uninspired last week in the Arizona desert as they did for the whole 2014 season. Sean Payton and Drew Brees may be settling into the same kind of stale football rut that has trapped Tom Coughlin and Eli Manning. . .former champs who the rest of the League caught up to, and now can't find a new path back to the top. But, of course, it won't matter for the Saints this week. They could play with 10 men on defense and still befuddle Famous Jameis. New Orleans.
Detroit +3 at Minnesota: Ha! It's only week 2, but there's already Panic In Detroit, after the Lions horrendous collapse in San Diego in week 1, blowing a 21-3 lead, with Matthew Stafford looking as inconsistent as ever, and the Lions Donkeykong Suh-less defense helpless to pressure Chargers statue QB Phillip Rivers, who completed 21 of 23 second half passes for 249 yds and 2 tds, most of them to Keenan Allen, who caught 15 passes for 166 yds, while Matty Stafford could somehow only connect with Calvin Johnson AND Golden Tate a combined 6 times for a paltry 53 yards. Johnson AND Tate, 6 for 53?? WTF?!?! If it don't turn around against the Vikings, the Lions week 3 home opener could turn into a Sunday Night boo-fest against the Broncos, as the Dee-troit crowd won't be very patient with an 0-2 home team that once again can't move the ball despite having an offense that has *all the pieces.* As for the Vikings, they laid a huge egg in their opener in SF, unable to stop 49er RB Carlos Hyde, and unable to get their #28 started. The Vikings looked like they didn't know what to do with Peterson (only 4 carries in the first half?!?! First possession of the game, after blocking a FG, they get the ball on the SF 26 yd line. . .and throw three straight incomplete passes. . .c'mon, how dumb is that? Hand the ball to #28. . .ridiculous!). Teddy Bridgewater still has the weakest arm in the League, couldn't even get the ball into the end zone on a Hail Mary from the 45 yard line. The loser of this starts 0-2, and might as well start preparing for the draft. Minnesota.
New England EVEN at Buffalo: Rex Ryan going against Belichick and Brady again. He pulled a fast one last week against Andrew Luck, somehow beat the Colts with Tyrod Taylor at QB. Of course, it helps that the Bills might have the best defense in the National Football League. The Patriots handled the Steelers with a trio of Brady-to-Gronkowski TD passes. . .Ryan is not going to over look the NE tight end the way Steelers rookie defensive coordinator Keith Butler did. The Bills take the early lead in the AFC North. Buffalo.
Tennessee +2.5 at Cleveland: Could the Titans ask for an easier opening to the season? Week 1 vs the Tampa Bay Winston Flops, Week 2 vs the Cleveland midget? Marcus Mariota will be thinking the Pac-12 is a tougher league than the NFL, and Tennessee will be the worst 2-0 team in football history. Tennessee.
Atlanta +3 at New York Giants: Two teams coming off opposite opening week games, the Falcons with an uplifting win over Philly, the Giants suffering a crushing give-away loss to Dallas due to retarded decisions from head coach Tom Coughlin and QB Eli Manning. The Giants have been barely keeping their head above water the last few years under old Tom Coughlin, who seems like he won't quit unless he can go out a winner, but he probably should have hung up the headset two years ago. The Giants look played-out, while the Falcons look fresh, or at least fresh like Seattle East. Atlanta.
Dallas +3 at Philadelphia: The Cowboys got lucky when the Giants got stuck on stupid late in week 1, and gave Dallas a win, but then got unlucky with an injury to Dez Bryant. The Eagles got stuck on chickenshit football late vs Atlanta, and then got stuck on Samantha Bradford's rag arm. . .if the Eagles lose this one, you will begin to hear some noise from the veterans in the Eagles locker room, questioning all of autocrat Chip Kelly's off-season moves. Tough, tough game to call. The Eagles need it more. Philadelphia.
Seattle +3.5 at Green Bay: Rematch of last year's NFC title game, which the Pack choked away in Seattle. Green Bay opened with a road win over Chicago, but their run defense got steamrolled by Matt Forte, and now they face an angry Marshawn Lynch, who got stuffed in OT by the Rams last week. Also a little troubling for GB, Aaron Rodgers didn't have any big plays down the field without Jordy Nelson. Still, they won a division road game, while Seattle really didn't look ready for the season to begin, they let the Rams jump them, and then after catching up, screwed up the kick-off in OT and then had the final 4th down run smothered. Not sharp, not focused, and now they have to fine-tune everything in a week, while Green Bay is ready and waiting for a another chance at the Seahawks. Green Bay.
Den vs KC. Manning looks bad. It's not clear whether his brain is functioning well at this point, either, but his body certainly is not functioning. It's come out he still lacks feeling in his fingers. That neck problem took his okay-by-NFL-standards-arm down to a floater-thrower. Denver did do well with the Wade Phillips pick up after getting rid of Fox, though. Denver should be a good to great defense for a while now if Phillips survives. The guy needs to lose weight. He's pushing 70 and looks to be packing on one hell of a food baby. Smith is a good enough QB with a good runner in Charles. He can be effective. KC wins and covers.
ReplyDeleteTB vs NO. NO wins and covers. What else can be said? Winston is not ready. Even with the typical shit NO defense, he's not ready. Line up 10 blondes and a sixer of Colt tall boys for Winston. He'll need it to forget this game.
Det vs MN. How can a team with AP not run him early and often? What is it with teams who have great runners seemingly wanting to prove they can pass? What is the term in golf? "Make the good shots", meaning make the shots you know you can make. Game time ain't the time to try to prove something outside your talents. Run the fucking ball. That's what MN is about with AP. Ole Stafford had a bad game. Given his way of going up and down, he should turn in a good game. DET wins.
NE vs Buffalo. Rex Ryan is the Donald Trump of NFL coaches. He gets caught making foot fetish vids with his pretty little petite wife whose held up better than 95% of other women her age. That's great, Rex. You're into your wife, everyone said. Then pics of his nude wife, spread eagle cooch, accompanied by a listing on a swingers site, came out. That rolled off his back. Then pics of some black guy sucking on his wife's feet came out. THAT fucking went by and Rex still scores a job as HC in Buffalo after his shitty stint with the Jets. Where is the breaking point for this guy? Are there pics of him taking it up the ass from his strapped on wife? Would that even ding his credibility at this point? All that aside, he's got a nice defense which fits his history, but NE has Brady, Belechik, and some Polack. Brady has enough other targets to pass to and Blount is back. NE all the way.
TN vs CLE. It's got to be TN, right? TN to win.
Falcons vs Giants. It's difficult to understand what the Giants were thinking when they had the clock low yet called a pass play and Eli, not wanting to throw an INT, which is the right way to think, threw it out of bounds, which was the wrong way to think because it stopped the clock. Taking a sack at that point would have been better. But the play call was still wrong. That call should have been run. The defense showed their disappointment with their inability to stop Romo from driving down the field and humiliating Coughlin and Eli. It's puzzling. Atlanta looked good in the first half and then looked shitty in the second. Atlanta has the best kicker in the NFL in Bryant, which is nice, but relying on your kicker to win games, as he won that game for the Falcons, is never a good strategy. It's nice to have that option, but you want to win on touchdowns. The Falcons picked up Jake Long, the former number one overall, who has experienced injuries in the last few years. He'll be good for a few games at least to bolster their shitty O line and the run game looks good. Atlanta wins.
Dallas vs. Phily. Dallas lucked their way to the win. Philly clicked nicely in the second half. Philly wins and covers.
Seattle vs GB. GB at home. That is all. GB wins and covers.
You're right about Manning and Phillips, both physical wrecks on the home stretch of their careers. . .they'll both have to be put out to pasture, soon.
ReplyDeleteAll Wade Phillips has to do is lose about 40 lbs and he'll be good. Peyton can't do much. His neck issue has fubar'd his passing. Say what you want about Favre, his arm was always there.
ReplyDeleteGet the stretcher. This is the game Peyton is being carried off tonight.
ReplyDeleteTampa beating New Orleans?!?! What the Hell is going on with the Saints?
ReplyDeleteMan, NY beating up on the Falcons. The run game looks fine but is abandoned too quickly.
ReplyDeleteAs for NO, no idea. Brees ain't getting it done..Saints D sucks and Brees isn't covering it like he has before.
Man, Giants really beating up on the Falcons.
Classic Lions performance, one fuck up after another, fumbles, penalties, poor kick coverage. . .
ReplyDelete2 lost fumbles for Detroit? No way to win a game. Eli coughed one up. May be the opening the Birds need.
ReplyDeleteStafford is the Lions leading rusher with 11 yards on 3 carries.
ReplyDeleteAfter two games, it is painfully obvious Donkeykong Suh was more valuable to the Lions than Stafford and Calvin Johnson combined.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the Falcons got a chance to at least force OT.
ReplyDeleteLet's see if the Falcons tell their RB not to score on the first two carries. . .
ReplyDeleteIf the Falcons hang on here, what a great start to the season. . .
ReplyDeleteBradford has been horrible. . .Eagles 0-2 and Chip Kelly don't look so smart, anymore.
ReplyDeleteStepped out for a while for yard work. Man, Ryan showed up for the Falcons. Their rushing slowed down, though. They need to get a lot more rushing.
ReplyDeleteDetroit. What can you say? 52 passes from Stafford and less than 300 yards. He's the leading rusher. What a disaster.
TB beat NO. The Aints are back. Jax won. Man, this season is going to be fun.
Lions season is over. Next week they have their home opener on Sunday night against Denver. . .one three-and-out and Stafford will be booed off the field.
ReplyDeleteHow about Oakland over Baltimore? Shit, even the Redskins won. . .
For Atlanta, it looks like Julio Jones is primed for a monster year. . .
Notice under Quinn they are winning the close ones late, not screwing up late in the game like they did under Smith. . .
The Falcons O line, as bad as it is, isn't nearly as bad as it was last year. Injuries plagued that line. And the D. Injuries sunk Smith.
ReplyDeleteStill a bit sore how Blank handled that situation.
Schedule playing out nice for the Falcons. . .get the Cowboys without Tony Homo.
ReplyDeleteOther than Indy and Carolina (twice), Falcons have a friendly schedule. 10-6 minimum. Outside chance of 13-3. They need to get that run game going, get the fullback involved, grind games out and rest the defense. The defense did look good. Biermann may have been as dinged up last year as said and he's better now. Hageman and Beasley are doing shit. Hageman doesn't make sense. He should be better now.
ReplyDeleteThe Falcons have a problem on offense, though. Roddy White is messed up and Julio keeps coming up with a gimp hamstring. One interesting thing is the Falcons got Jake Long. He's been a good lineman when healthy. If they get 5 good games out of him, he's worth it.
That run game needs to start happening.
Detroit has a nightmare schedule. Except for Chicago and the Aints, they don't have an easy game. Detroit has a real chance at 2-14. No run game, a QB who can't get it together, he's even taking shot out of bounds and not getting a lot of support from teammates. What the hell is going on? I thought Detroit had the pieces. Megatron is another year old, another year of miles, another year of Detroit football.
Last night I saw a real QB in Rodgers. Even after the win, the guy didn't look that happy. They've got problems with Lacy. His ankle is fucked. It turned badly. Even if he's back in 4, he won't be right. That ankle won't be stable enough for football till next year. Stark looked good. But the fact is GB could run Kuhn all year and be fine because of Rodgers. WR core is weakened, but Rodgers is that good.
Yup, Falcons are in good shape with the schedule. . .I wouldn't worry too much about old Roddy White, they got Hankerson, who seems like a pretty good #2. They need to keep Coleman healthy, I don't think much of Freeman. With Coleman they got a threat at RB to keep defenses honest, which Ryan needs.
ReplyDeleteCarolina is a strange team. Horrible offense, Newton running is about all they got, yet they manage to win some games. It may be about time Rivera gets credit for putting a solid defense out there year-after-year, despite losing some good players, like that nigger criminal Hardy.
The Lions are done. The defense don't scare anybody without Suh (and Fairley), that was half of their success right there, the fear factor. It's funny though, it hasn't seemed to carry over to the Dolphins, their defense has been mediocre against two shit teams, Redskins and Jags. Stafford and the offense, looks shiny from the outside, when you look under the hood, it's a mess.
Rodgers is worth 7 or 8 wins by himself. Even without Nelson, Rodgers is still MVP, he can run a nickel-and-dime offense just as good as Brady.
