It’s that dreaded time of year-no football for two weeks and the next game on the docket is when the ‘normals’ pile in and ruin everything for those of us that were slogging through third teamers in the preseason. Maybe I’ll get caught up on college or pro basketball. Or not. The game doesn’t remotely resemble the stuff I watched just 15 years ago and it’s lost its appeal.

Let’s do that usual Monday thing-

Fallout:

-Jayden Daniels had a great run and now his name is attached to postseason rook records like most yards passing, most yards rushing, most combined TD’s, highest completion percentage and so on. A sporty guy noted that this is probably the ‘worst’ team he’ll play on in the foreseeable future because the team has the third-most cap space and Adam Peters is in place. Look for the Commies to sign/draft an impact wr to pair with McLaurin, an edge and some upgrade or two on the offensive line.

-Is Spags the best big game DC in  recent history? It would seem so.

-Hurts gets all kinds of grief from Philly fans, smh. Somebody should tell them that this running QB was 18-20 from inside the pocket yesterday.

-If Aaron Rodgers wanted some sort of assurance that he continues to be the special-ist boy that ever was he must be sorely disappointed. New coach Aaron Glenn says he’s under the microscope just like everyone else on the roster and Woody The MAGA has backed off. Hopefully this assessment process takes so long that other teams that need a QB will have things in place so that Qaron ends up retired or playing for the Raiders. (sorry Rikki, but we need the laughs)

-I’d have thought that Dan Campbell would have hired within for the OC job given that he was lucky to have Ben Johnson in 2024 in the first place. Turns out he kinda did, tapping John Morton, Denver’s passing game coordinator who was on the Lions staff back in 2022.

-The Opening Lines: Chiefs by 1.5 and the O/U is 48.5.
