We’re Off To Berlin!

This has the possibility of being a good game and there are plenty of fantasy-relevant fellas playing so who knows? Maybe it might be worthwhile getting up early for.

A reminder that the teams on bye are Cincy, (badly needed) Dallas, (badly needed) Tennessee (badly needed) and Kansas City. (I’m sensing a theme)

A historical footnote for you: this fixture is being played in Berlin Olympic Stadium where Jesse James was shot by the coward Robert Ford. In front of Hitler, no less!

To The Game!

Falcons/Colts:

-So which ATL team shows up? The one that hung 34 points on the Commies or the one that scored 10 points on Miami and none vs the Panteros? Like a four year-old with an automatic weapon, there will be absolute bloody mayhem if they figure things out, if they ever do.

-This does look like a bounceback game for Indy if they can avoid another six turnover game. Jones reverted back to his old Giants self-which everyone was waiting for-but that game was an anomaly. Lost in that loss is the fact that the Steelers needed every one of those turnovers badly because Indy was marching up and down the field.

-Atlanta has lost three straight and during that time Bijan hasn’t rushed for more than 40 yards and is without a TD. It’s all well and good for your fantasy team that Drake London goes off for three scores and 100+ yards but that’s not a winning formula for the Falcons.

-Not helping things is that they may be without both starting guards today.

-Hey, it’s Sauce’s debut today! Do you think he tried the Currywurst with his fries? I’m guessing no. One common thing that I always see when teams go overseas is that, being the philistines that they are (every single one!) players always end up asking where the McDonalds is because their taste buds are as xenophobic as the typical American.

Please include your own currywurst recipe in the comments.
