Rapid fire takeaways from week 3 part 2


Dolphins-Chargers: Smoking Jay Cutler is back baby! All the haters were waiting for a bad performance. Well jokes on you muthafuckas. Behind Cutlers steady hand, Jarvis Landry's ridiculousness and Jay Ajayi's beast mode-like antics, the phins find themselves 1-0. The defence also played a great game. They used a bend, dont break style and kept the Chargers in check. Rivers was once again robbed of a game he deserved to win. He looked solid throughout the game and put his team in a position to win. Antonio Gates continued his dominate career by becoming the all time leader in touchdown catches by a tight end. Keenan Allen looked healthy and Melvin Gordon still mad a few plays despite his numbers. However, that Young Ho ruined everything for the second time in two weeks. Time for the snip.

Patriots-Saints: Bradys back, the saints defence sucks. Drew Brees played well and Sean Payton was aggressive in his plays calls. Is anybody surprised?

Jets-Raiders: the Jets stuck around, they really did, for the half that is. When you are as devoid of talent as they are, thats a win......I guess. The one player who deserves credit is Jermaine Kearse, he single handily kept that team from being totally embarrassed. The Raiders just keep on rolling. They have a million weapons and that oline might be the best in football (yeah I said it Dallas). Marshawn Lynch looked like he hasnt skipped a beat, Micheal Crabtree dominated and Derrick Carr keeps getting better. The skies the limit for this team. Corderelle Patterson is the X-factor moving forward. This guys ability to make people miss is ridiculous and the use of him at running back is a stroke of genius. The one thing I worry about with this team is the secondary. There is enough talent back there but they tend to give up a lot of big plays. That could really hurt them down the road.

Free agency roundup part 2

Teddy Bridgewater: The Panthers decided to turn the page on Cam Newton after another injury- plagued season. The bizarrely haired, hieroglyphic writing QB was due for a change of scenery. Bridgewater, on the other hand, flashed serious skill while Drew Brees was on the shelf. He is still only 27 and could be a very good quarterback for Matt Rhule and co. He is a young qb on a reasonable deal, should be a win-win for both sides. Ryan Tannehill: I know I said I would focus on guys who changed teams, however I would be remiss if I did not address Tanny. The talented quarterback peeked at the right time down the stretch. He tore up the league in the second half of the season throwing 22 tds and 6 picks. In fact he and Derrick Henry almost got the Titans to a superbowl. Tannehill is good but hes not 4 years and 118 million dollars good. I think the Titans will live to regret this decision. Jack Conklin: A bit of a surprise cut by the Titans. The 25 year old was coming off of a so-so sea...

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...
