To The Games! Saints/Chargers: Olave is back but the presence of Rattler puts a hard ceiling on his ability to produce. LA seems ok at 3-3 but there are cracks showing-they've been outscored 55-34 in the second half and have yet to score a TD in the 4th quarter in five straight

We're almost at the halfway point of the season and the byes are kicking in... What's that? There are no teams on bye this week? How is that? Ah, these scheduling intricacies are beyond my comprehension. To The Games! Jets/Pats: Guh. We're not off to a great start here. These teams are a

Welcome back one and all to another week of the professional football that is oriented around cities rather than educational institutions. (feel the need to make that distinction the last few years) Any team can go on a run, sure, but this about the time the wheat starts getting separated

I'm 10 days early but that scary day is coming fast. Some games yesterday brought it, others didn't-as always, the NFL is a mixed bag. Let's take a wee peek at some of the goings-on. Fallout: Injuries, injuries, injuries-Deshaun is done with an Achilles, Jay Daniels got hit in the ribs but

It's been a long day. The Giants lost like a big buncha losers. (typing this at 12:54 EST) Just as an aside, I wish I had the blind, unwarranted  confidence of a Chris Berman-he's so far past irrelevance and yet he waddles out there every Sunday like he owns the

As long as there's games I'll keep intro-ing.* *not a guarantee, sometimes I feel lazy To The Games! Panthers/Commies: Have I said this before? Washington reminds me of Houston last year in that their games became watchable so fast they crept up on everyone. Who'da thunk they'd have been favored by 9.5 at any

Well, there was more scoring in that London game than I expected. (typing this at the 10-7 mark, Woo! Brian Thomas Jr!) Let's see what's on offer in the first slate- To The Games! Seahawks/Falcons: Here's two teams headed in opposite directions. Seattle started fast and were a bit of a surprise and

Why are we here watching this? [gives the side eye to an ungulate from North Carolina] The NFL isn't doing us any favors here. You knew Jax would be featured in these games but why send New England over here when making the schedule-they were going to be lousy. But

It's week 7 already and no, I won't be talking about Payton going back to Who Dat? Land or whatever they call it-you'll hear far too much of that. Why yes, I did pick up Bub Means in Math Hard! because I love playing three-dimensional chess (snorts) and I don't want anyone

[Barry Manilow's "Looks Like We Made It" plays softly in the background] We got here you and I. Our eyes and butts are sore but it was worth it. Also, it would appear that the Bears, at long, long last, have a QB on their hands. The question remains, "How

Surprisingly, not a lot of action on the west coast for this window but we'll be entertained nontheless. To The Games! Chargers/Broncos: Dobbins got out of the gate strong with 266 yards in the first two games but has only accrued 76 in his last two outings. Does he have a nagging injury
