I’ll start with the youth stuff: My kid is on the shelf right now. We will see if he can go in a few days. He’s matched up against the #1 11u team in the state–the actual #1 and not our untested squad. They have the best rb in the state at that at 11 or 12 yrs old and it is firmly not my kid, even when healthy. He lost that killer instinct despite getting stronger and faster. I don’t understand how that works.
On to the the pros… Jets cut Bell… and added another nail into my fantasy coffin. Cowboys are also DOA following the Dak injury. They do not have a guy capable of making those kind of comebacks in Dalton. Here are some other upcoming situations…
NE over DEN (if it gets played)
TEN over HOU (see above)
PIT over CLE
I believe in the Browns. They got it together and got it rolling. However, PITs D is crazy good right now and will shut down the running game. They cannot rely on Mayfield. I do expect to see Beckham sling one to to Landry this week…
BAL over PHI
NYG over WAS
Finally, a win!
ATL over MIN
How do they have 1 win combined?
JAX over DET
IND over CIN
CAR over CHI
Foles is not the guy, folks. He is a relief pitcher.
MIA over NYJ
This is hard penance over a slew of bad management choices. I hope to see this team back on top in a decade (or sooner if they go get a legit qb). However, this week Fitz is going to shred.
GB over TB
I expect stupid big yards in this one.
BUF over KC
This is in Buffalo and it is that time of year… I don’t know that the Chiefs are 100% right now, but I know the Bills are coming.
AZ over DAL
Still reeling from the loss of Dak they will lose something else–their sense of control in the NFC east.
Some Thoughts:
- Needed to change gears. Life stuff is rough. Football is a pretty reliable escape.
- So is storytelling…
