As Barry Manilow so eloquently put it, “Looks like we made it!”. Quoting Manilow drives traffic to the site, I read that back in the early ’90’s and I’m sure it still holds true today. While there are some games that have playoff implications the majority of these tilts are more along the lines of a Draft Order Hokey Pokey so teams will be putting their left foot both in and out.

To The Games!

Bucs/Falcons:

Atlanta has once again proved that you can find viable running back talent fairly late in the draft. I’m sure that Allgeier was drafted as Patterson insurance and has ended up with 900 (on the button!) yards. If you’re an old school coach that is dedicated to the run you just don’t have to expend resources on the rb spot.

Pats/Bills:

I’m glad the scheduling gods have Buffalo at home for this one because the outpouring of support for Damar and the team is going to be something special. The coverage of it? Well, needless to say I’ll be muting the hell out of that crap.

Vikes/Bears:

Nothing about this game catches my fancy, except for maybe a fancy catch by Jefferson.

Ravens/Bengals:

Does anyone have an update on Lamar’s status? The coaching staff has been quiet about what’s going on which strikes me as odd-no daily updates, little word on progress. Has he shut it down? Odd.

Texans/Colts:

Oh look, it’s a slap fight between two homeless alcoholics.

Jets/Fins:

Next year I think the AFC East will be the best division in the footed ball universe. Each team has purpose and is headed in the right direction. I’m certain that New York will give White a shot at the starter spot and that should provide a bit of stability there.

Panthers/Saints:

Meh.

Browns/Steelers:

Sorry Cleveland, Tomlin has to keep his .500+ streak intact and his slim playoff hopes alive. You’ll be rolling over as you always do-it’s in your DNA.

Have at it.
