Well, that was an interesting weekend of games and this morning continued in that vein. A few things have already been discussed but I must do my thing.

Fallout:

-Millions of fantasy players woke up to discover a black hole in their lineups. El Wheelchaircito is done for awhile and he’s such a unique player that the usual handcuffage will not be sufficient. The Titans themselves acknowledged this by signing the corpse of Adrian Peterson. Remember his work for the Lions? Guh.

-T’was a great day for backup qb’s yesterday. Rush, Siemian and White all put up great numbers on the stat sheet and on their CV’s. I guess this is why the same names circulate around the NFL year after year-they were asked to simply ‘not fuck up’ and instead made plays that were the difference in their games. Coaches remember that.

-I wonder how long Cal Ridley just tried to ‘tough it out’ before realizing that his mental health issues required more attention. I imagine that mindset is entrenched in football at every level.

-Von Miller was sent to the Rams for a second and third and I like it. This rental wants to put a (second) ring on it and I admire LA’s moxie. I sorta made mention of this when talking about Cincy. So many teams that feel that they are cruising (or even on the cusp of being well above average) simply stick with the status quo and hope everything will work out. Adding more talent usually works out to be a positive.

To The Game!

Giants/Chiefs:

-It’s Just That Bad: the KC D has given up the same amount of points as the pitiful Jags-203.

-Thing is, their losses are against teams that are all headed to the playoffs. The Ravens, Chargers, Bills and Titans (maybe an asterisk here?) aren’t exactly bottom feeders.

-It is funny to me that both these sub .500 teams are scratching and clawing for different types of relevancy.

-Electric talent Kadarius Toney is back in the lineup and so is Shepard. So that helps. Hopefully OC Garrett’s playcalling-which has been outstanding the last three weeks-continues to move Dimes around in the pocket and finds wr’s in space.

-On a personal note, I hope that the Giants Hands of Stone tight end Evan Engram is held out of the game at the last minute because that would mean that he’s been traded.

Type the stuff that you like to type.
