Cardinals vs Seahawks: Now that we have seen Lamar Jackson, Cam Newton, Deshawn Watson, Josh Allen, Russell Wilson, and now Kyler Murray one thing has been true about these QBs. You can run BUT YOU CAN’T HIDE! Wilson despite his struggles this season was able to get revenge on Arizona by means of late game heroics and leadership. As for Kyler he got shut down. The bold play calls of Kliff Kingsbury failed big time and it cost the Cards a sweep of Seattle. Everyone will blame midget man when it is the whole team’s fault. Why can’t the Cardinals get past the ghosts of Pottsville?
Titans vs Ravens: Is it me or everything that could go wrong has gone wrong for me besides school grades and getting into college. I need to separate this game again because Derrick Bleeping Henry is now the Aaron Boone and Bucky Dent of Baltimore. WHY ME!
Eagles vs Browns: Like I said the only way my year gets worse is that if Cleveland makes the playoffs and the Ravens don’t. After shutting down Carson Wentz and the Eagles it looks like that might happen. And here is the thing. Baker Mayfield isn’t even throwing the ball for much of the game. When you have Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt everything is east right. The Browns with this win go to 7-3 and in complete control of their playoff destiny. As for Philly it is the same thing that is going on in Baltimore. In danger of missing the playoffs with a QB that is criticized by the media and their head coach being on the hot seat. I would also put Howie Roseman in that chair too.
Patriots vs Texans: I also forgot to mention the Patriots. They are in a situation that either could determine their draft positioning or their playoff hopes. In this case they got smacked by a Texans team with one good player, JUST ONE! His name is Deshawn Watson. The Cam Newton experiment worked for one week and now other teams have now caught up to him. The Patriots playoff chances are growing dimmer but at least they have an excuse this year unlike years past.
Steelers vs Jaguars: Pittsburgh is making a strong case for being the greatest team of all time. As a fan of their most hated rival it pains me to say it but it looks like a possibility. Big Ben, Claypool and the defense were up to their old tricks and the Jags had no answers for the Steelers Front 7. The bad news for Jacksonville is that their only reward for the week is elimination.
Jaguars ELIMINATED (YOU GET NOTHING YOU LOSE GOOD DAY SIR!): If they hadn’t beat Indy in Week 1 they would be competing with the Jets for 0-16. At least they have a chance at drafting Trevor Lawrence or Justin Fields I guess. Plus I think it’s time to dismantle management.
Bengals vs Hogs: TANK BOWL TIME! In this case we have 2 teams that haven’t cared about winning since Week 2. The Bungals were trying their best to mess up the tank thanks to their fast pace offense but CRACK! OH NO NOT BURROW! Why did you sacrifice him to the Football Gods. I think Washington is a QB Graveyard when it comes to injured quarterbacks. Once Ryan Finley took over Cincy lost their cool and composure and it appears their season is all but done.
Bengals ELIMINATED! (YOU GET NOTHING YOU LOSE GOOD DAY SIR!): Even if Burrow was healthy they would have missed the playoffs by a lot. The Bungals opened the Mystery Box this year. Can you guess what they got? COAL IN THEIR CHRISTMAS STOCKINGS! I just hope that their savior is ok!
Lions vs Panthers: Lions welcome back to reality! In this case their calls for 9-7 and playoff glory is gone. Look at them, they got exposed by a Panthers team without Teddy Bridgewater and CMC! Matt Patrica is on the verge of getting fired and what will his excuse be this time. IDK.
Falcons vs Saints: The Taysom Hill experiment has hit the Who Dat Nation. He is doing what Kordell Stewart did 25 years ago. QB/RB/WR/TE! Now as the QB in place of Drew Brees, Hill proved why New Orleans is considering him to be the QB of the future by carving up the Falcons. I feel bad for Matt Ryan and Julio, they deserve to be on REAL TEAMS.
Jets vs Chargers: You know what time it is CUE THE NBA ON NBC THEME FROM THE 1990s! (Tank Bowl). 1 team gunning for an 0-16 season, and the other with no defense. Just like in weeks past the Chargers jumped out to an early lead and Joe Flacco got smudged for 3 quarters. But for a moment the San Diego tradition of a late game collapse was happening but LA did just enough to prevent New York from win #1. I don’t know how the Chargers would do if Derwin James was healthy.
Dolphins vs Broncos: The Dolphins look like a legit contender over the last few games. Now they have a chance to take 1st place from the Bills. Playing a Broncos team in quicksand should be a Power Play Goal right? WRONG! Not only did Miami fall behind Tua got knocked out AGAIN! Enter the wonders of FitzCeption! He is going on a rampage in the second half as Denver’s D has no chance for Miami’s receivers. I don’t know if it will be enough? BOOM! The Football Gods tried to gift wrap the Dolphins a win by means of the Broncos fumbling at the 1 yard line, now Miami had the chance to force OT! “Fitzpatrick to throw and it is PICKED OFF BY THE PRO BOWLER JUSTIN SIMMONS!” That was your chance 305. At least your playoff hopes are alive I guess.
Cowboys vs Vikings: The Skolkings are trying to do the unthinkable. Going from 1-5 to the playoffs, playing a Dallas team with no QB should be a good chance at getting to 500. But Minnesota experienced the talents of Dem Cowboys! Even if Dak Prescott is out for the season Dallas is going to do everything in their powers to win the NFC East. Despite the Vikings trying everything they can to win they found some way to lose again. VIKINGS GONNA VIKING!
Sidenote: I know what the reaction is in the NFC East, no one deserves to make the playoffs. But in my opinion each of those teams are better than their records. The issue with that division is that they have to play the AFC North and NFC West, the 2 hardest divisions possibly in all of sports. Dallas and Philly have the talent to be a good team, besides Washington and New York have the coaching staffs for being a force in the future. In my opinion it could just be rotten luck if anything.
Packers vs Colts: Whenever I watch the Packers they remind me of the Ravens. A team that is tough to beat on paper but their biggest issue is themselves. Against an Indianapolis team with a mediocre offense Green Bay jumped out to a 21-7 halftime lead, only for the Colts to come back. Matt LeFleur WHAT ARE YOU THINKING! You have guaranteed points, just take the field goal and tie the game. Well there goes the Packers chances at victory… BEEP! Prepare the bunkers angry Colts fans are coming to argue about REFBALL thanks to several holding calls that prevented Indy from running out the clock! In my opinion the NFL is doing everything they can for Green Bay to win. Unfortunately at the moment the best thing Aaron Rodgers can do is force overtime. The good news for Wisconsin is that they had the chance at the unthinkable comeback. “Pass is caught by Valdes Scantling who LOSES THE FOOTBALL AND THE COLTS HAVE RECOVERED!” Indianapolis escapes with the win, GOOD JOB BOYS!
Chiefs vs Raiders: The old memories of the Raiders and Chiefs rivalry are back in store after Vegas did their infamous victory lap around Arrowhead the last time they played each other. Now Kansas City has to go to the Death Star and get revenge. Early on Derek Carr and the Raider offense established control of the game as KC went into quicksand for much of the game. By the 4th quarter neither team could stop each other. The Chiefs would get the nut, the Raiders would then get the screw. It appeared for the moment that Vegas would complete the season sweep of Kansas City but here comes Mahomes and his Wild West Variety Show! “HERE I COME TO SAVE THE DAY!” This is what Andy Reid was lacking before the 2017 NFL Draft. An offense that could carry him to glory over and over again! Good effort though Gruden you guys could be tough to beat down the stretch!
Rams vs Buccaneers: A situation in which both teams need the win. The Rams to maintain control of the NFC West, and for the Bucs to remain in control of their playoff destiny. Early on this had the feeling of Ali and Frazier. Both teams would trade blows early as neither team could take control. By the 4th quarter the Rams had control but this is Tom Brady. You know happened next, #TompaBay tied the game! Despite LA trying their best to add another touchdown the best they got was a late game field goal. The bad news for Boy Genius McVay is that they left way too much time on the clock. Brady will lead the Bucs to a comeback win and (INTERCEPTION) OH MY GOODNESS! PAUSE. The Bucs are now fighting for their playoff lives now, their Super Bowl ambitions in the Summer have taken another serious hit. Now with the Chiefs coming to town next week it could be doomsday for them if they don’t win. PLEASE BEAT THE CHIEFS PLEASE!
We have reached the end and what better way to cap things off by introducing a segment called “FOOTBALL FOLLIES”! This week’s winner is the University of Kentucky! In a game against No 1 Alabama they had the Crimson Tide on the ropes early in the game and only trailed 7-3 entering the second quarter and were at the 5 yard line. What happened, False Start, Incomplete pass, Holding incomplete pass. You think that would be a dump pick for this week’s Follie. The icing on the Thanksgiving Pumpkin Pie was that they had a bad snap that went back to the 50 yard line on the field goal attempt. And here is the best part: how many points did Alabama outscore the Wildcats after that play? 56-0! Here is the lesson my friends, never make mistakes against a Nick Saban team if you have a mediocre squad!
