We face the Eternal Question: Will Hippo nap through this tilt or will he keep his eyes open? We get yet another game that looked fantastic on paper back in the day but various wheels came off multiple busses, never to return.

To The Game!

Broncos/Rams:

-Was Cupp Important?: Judging by total yards gained the Rams have the very worst offense in the league. My guess would have been Houston or Atlanta or Denver or Pittsburgh or Indy or… You get it.

-One reason for the Rams failure there is injuries and a lack of depth on the o-line and having to trot out a different unit virtually every week. It’s strange that so many struggling offenses seem to have this in common. But one does not spend money on the unit that protects it’s most valuable asset-the qb. There’s a big disconnect in that thinking.

-The Rams rush game has shown a spark of life recently in that Akers has reached 60 yards in two of his last three but that’s small potatoes. (roasted in duck fat, mmm…)

-Nate Hackett (I mean, who goes by the name of Nathaniel, there’s your first clue) is a one-year wonder in that I don’t think he ever gets another shot as a head coach in the NFL.

-Don’t know enough about him to say anything one way or another (perhaps a Hippo thought is in order?) but is there a candidate for the job standing on the sidelines by the name of Ejiro (“Dreams of Sushi”) Evero? He’s done a phenomenal job of keeping his unit engaged and playing extremely well during a lost season.

Do your thing.
