NFL predictions: New England- Buffalo

New England- Buffalo

New England is not the team they were three years ago, but thats niether hear nor there. This is still a dangerous team that needs to realize its limitations and run the damn football. If Ridley and vereen can get it going and Brady can throw between the numbers out of predominately two tight end sets then you have an offence that can be as efficiant as any. On the flip side Buffalo is a team I cant really get a read on. Theyre defence is very good but I dont trust that offence for a second. They have weapons and are capable of surprising some people but there is one small problem: Kyle Orton cannot be trusted. He will tease with good numbers and occasionally he will win you some games but I dont think for a second he can lead them to the playoffs. Im a fan of letting E.J Manuel grow but the fact of the matter is Bills fans want to ride it out, who can blame them with their recent drought

Prediction: New England pulls off  signature win here and shows everyone why they own Buffalo


The spread: Buffalo plus 3.5, Il take New England here, they are on a mission

Tom Brady

The man, the myth, the legend. A fixture of professional sports for the last 20 years. Tom Brady seemed destine to ride off into the sunset on a half functional body and a relatively intact brain, donning a Patriots jersey. It seems that the ancient quarterback and his morally inept team had something else in mind. Brady met with Belicheck and thats that, no progress, no give and take. It seemed like a rather Belicheckian end to a 20 year long domination tour. The coach, of course, is known as an analytical decision maker who rather cut a player too early than too late. Anyone who watched Brady last year saw a noticeable drop in all statistical categories. When you arer 42 years old it is not unreasonable to see a steady decline in production. Just like that the six time superbowl champion hit the open market. It was not long before an ancient coach enamoured with ancient quarterbacks swooped in and took a chance on the hall of fame quarterback. From Brady's perspective, this is a ...

The XFL rule that the NFL must adopt

Image
The XFL has burst onto the scene. By burst I mean the league has yet to fold. In all seriousness, as a football fan I am just happy there is semi-coherent football being played. Sure quarterback play isn't up to snuff (with the exception of a couple guys) but the XFL is doing something very cool. Other leagues have failed because they try and emulate or compete with the NFL. The XFL had basically filled a need (spring football) and provided enough wild concepts to keep your average fan somewhat interested. Honestly thats all football loving degenerates like myself need. The NFL would be wise to check their immense egos and improve their game through a key rule change.  The adoption of the XFL's revolutionary kickoff structure is a must for the league. If you are unfamiliar, the kicker kicks off from the normal distance (the 30). The gunners and blocker are placed in a stationary position at the opponents 35, facing each other. The kicker then kicks the ball and the players a...

The bizarre saga of Myles Garrett

Image
This Myles Garrett stuff is wild. If your not familiar with the situation, the Cleveland Browns defensive end tried to decapitate an opponent. The opponent in question, Mason Rudolph got into a tussle with the adonis that is Garrett. Garrett (who is known for his calm demeanour) saw it fit to remove Rudolph's helmet and attempt to murder him with it. He succeeded in denting the head of the goofy faced quarterback. Garrett was then suspended for the rest of the season. In fact he was just recently reinstated. The Browns defensive end did a reason interview where he claimed that Rudolph called him a big word beginning with the letter n. We all know what I am talking about. Of course the Pittsburgh QB denied all allegations. Looking at this from an outsiders perspective, its hard to say for sure. I do know a few thing though: Rudolph was immediately assisted by his offensive lineman who are also black. In fact the head coach of the Steelers, Mike Tomlin (also of African american de...
