I’m not going to talk about the Giants.
Now that we’ve gotten past that, I do want to talk about what is being touted as the flagship game of the new NFL. This game, Rams v. Chiefs, resulted in 105 total points scored. It was an offensive explosion. Now this isn’t to say that there was not good defense. Donald pulled off two strip sacks. Rams scored multiple defensive touchdowns. There was defense. There was just a lot more and a lot better offense.
NFL Darling, Patrick Mahomes, hoisted 6 TD passes while the Rams’ low key QB (bet you can’t even remember his name) scored 4. 54-51 final score and the sports media was crazy about it. Me, kinda.
Here’s the thing: I love offensive football. As former WR and OC I want points on the board. I love the chess match between OC and DC as we each try to move our pieces towards (and away) from the end zone. I just like a little more parity.
So, will the saga continue this football week? Yes.
New Orleans will whip Atlanta badly. I predict 38+ points for NO alone. Likewise I think Cleveland finally puts the hurt on a team in yet another step forward for a Browns team that will be good soon. No more predictions for the week. I’m getting kind of superstitious and I’m not trying to vex anything that could impact my own team.
Some Thoughts:
