Rapid fire takeaways week 2 part 3


Lions-Giants: Does anyone know why the Giants cant score? It might have something to do with the trash oline or the total lack of a running game but come on here. You have a superbowl winning qb, one of the best receivers in the game and a plethora of other weapons around you. Not to mention a defence that is easily a top 5 unit in football. What the fuck is happening here guys? The lions on the other hand look good. If ameer abdullah can continue to be above average this offence is totally set. Matt Stafford has been dominate since last year and he seems to really be clicking with his receivers. Eric Ebron is starting to the turn the corner and Kenny Golladay looks nice. Couple them with Marvin Jones and Golden Tate and you got a good looking offence. The defence has always been just good enough. However, the rise of Jarrad Davis has really helped this unit take the next step. Watch out for Detroit.

Broncos-Cowboys: Zeke Elliott has his first bad game as a pro and people are freaking out. Uh, this is the bronocs defence guys, I here they are pretty good. Dak was playing hurt so you gotta give him a pass here. The Boys were just straight up dominated on both sides of the ball. The defence was torched by none other then Trevor Siemian. Speaking of Semens, the guy balled out. Mike McCoy has a gift for putting his qbs in position to succeed and it looks like hes working his magic. Thomas and Sanders were their usual selves. The emergence of Bennie Fowler has been a great story for a team looking for a slot guy that can at least catch the ball. The running game looked really good with both CJ anderson and Jamal Charles playing well. I love me some Denver going forward. Now if only they kept TJ Ward.

Packers-Falcons: See NFC championship, it was basically the same thing. Packers took a nap in the first half as the flacons eviscerated them. They woke up in the third, had an amazing comeback attempt and came up just short. The falcons dont have the look of a team that is experiencing a superbowl hangover whatsoever.

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...
