Stroll down the NFL Boulevard Week 8

Stroll down the NFL Boulevard

Week 8

 

Well here we are at week 8; a crossroads if you will it is time to separate the adults from the kids, the haves from the have-nots. And mainly try to see how all this happened again. But before we do that lets take a look at who is not playing this week and there seems to be a few, San Diego will stay classy this week, and Da Bears are contemplating hibernation, Baltimore is doing some bird watching, and the Texans are trying to rebuild the confidence of Matt Schaub. And isn’t it lucky that the Colts are off this week as well. That should do it except for one more thing, we are approaching a milestone here at the Stroll and we might have some things come back or even some people come back, but until then, Lefty would you please kick it!!!

 

                First up another none descript Thursday night game. This game had all the pageantry of the Baton Death March. This game had nothing interesting in it trust us, we watched a few minutes, threw up, then flipped the channel to hockey. Hockey no less, in freaking October. Well the Panthers showed their dominance again while playing the Yuccanneers. Pirates be damned this team from Tampa Bay is playing like that are on a death march.

Final Score the Panthers 31 the Yuccanneers 13. If Mike Glennon throwing the ball 51 times is the answer? We don’t want to know the question.

 

                Watch out because the first thing we see on Sunday is the New York Blue Football Team of average or below average size is starting to make some waves in the NFC east. We mean who could blame them. This Division has a chance to have an 8 and 8 team win and get feed to either the 49ers or the Shehawks. Is that really a prize? Oh here you go welcome to the playoffs you get to have your head bashed in with a 2 x 4. Oh an your welcome

Final Score the NEW YORK BLUE FOOTBALL TEAM of Average size or less 15 the Beagles 7. What this game really needed was a field goal. That would have made it perfect!!! Oh hey Chip Kelly you just keep that trophy from last week, you have earned it.

 

                If this isn’t a big Middle finger to our friends across the pond, then we don’t know what is. Why would we send them first the Viqueens, and Steelers, at least someone had to win their first game. But why would anyone want to pay some pounds, or quid’s to see the Jacksonville Jaguars. Frankly we wouldn’t give a farthing to see then play.

Final score the 49ers 42 the Jaguars (Anchors) 10. Honestly the more we think about it the more we think that London is a good place for the Jaguars, at least we wouldn’t have to see them.

 

                This next game came down to a lot of things. It came down to time of possession, which was won by over 10 minutes. That allowed the winning team to run some 22 more plays which will only serve to wear down the other team. But what is most important is the fact that you have to have a quarterback who can lead his team down the field and score whatever is necessary to win. You might want to have a quarterback with balls the size of Cantaloupes to try what Matthew Stafford tried. Because if he doesn’t get the ball across the goal line on what ended up being the last play of the game then Detroit doesn’t win the game.

Final Score the Cowgirls 30 the Lions 31. REGGIE BUSH was great but Calvin Johnson might as well had been running pass routes alone, because it doesn’t look like anyone on the Cowgirls could cover him.

 

                Well are we prophetic or what? Did we call it or what? Who is next Vince Young? But you know we have to really be careful. Because the team that was only 2 and 14 and was the laughing stock of the NFL is now the only undefeated team in the AFC. And so we give you the Kansas City Chiefs The best team in the NFL. We should have never given the Brownstains the idea of Jason Campbell. Now that Brandon Weedon is gone are we going to miss him.? Not in the least.

Final Score the Brownstains 17 the Chiefs 23. Remember 4 of the wins are from the NFC East and the Jaguars, so how good are they?

 

                Come on admit it. When you saw the halftime score of 17 to 3 you just knew that there was a changing of the guard. You just knew that finally the cheating was over. Finally the world was going to back to normal and someone else was going to win the AFC East besides the New England Patriots. We know you saw it. We know what everyone was thinking, and this isn’t you’re your momma’s Tom Brady. This is the Real Tom Brady, and this is the real Miami Dolphins and those two facts make the difference.

Final Score the Dolphins 17 the Patriots 27. Come on, did you really think that the Dolphins were going to win?? We didn’t.

 

So what happens when a team from the Northeast goes down South? Well we know it is not very good.  Some of that New Orleans Voodoo got rubbed all over the Buffalo Bills. This week Thad Lewis played real well, his line was 22 for 39 for 234 yards. Drew Brees’ game was pretty similar he was 26 of 34 for 332. Both had 4 sacks for 23 yards in losses. But that is where the Voodoo took over as Brees threw 5 touchdowns, and Lewis had 1 touchdown 1 interception and 2 fumbles. New Orleans Head Coach Sean Peyton after the game set a small plastic Buffalo with no legs (as they were burned off) back in his locker.

Final Score the Bills 17 the Saints 35. What do you call a buffalo with no Legs? Ground Chuck, Yep I did it…

 

                Well this poor little game showed us that the Pittsburg Steelers are not what anyone expected. You would expect that this team would be good, nothing really changed did it? The still have Big Ben, they still have Head Coach Mike Tomlin. They still have that long haired freak Troy Polamalu right? Even if he has to use head and shoulders to get that hair of his clean. Boy don’t you think that hair of his stinks? I bet it smells of sweat, smoke and shame?

Final Score the Steelers 18 the Raiders 21. Just Suck Baby! Just Suck Baby! Come on Just Suck Baby!

 

                Up next we find out how bad you have to be to let Matt Sims play in a professional Game, but first this word from our Sponsors…

 

Hi this is old Tuna cakes here and I wanted to let you know that I am still around you can catch my show on the ESPN 8. We have all the trends, okay. We have all the Stats, okay. We have everything that a person would need okay, when they need it. And I will tell you this; if we don’t know the answer we will flip a coin, okay, because that is about the same percentage as me winning in the NFL. See you soon on the Ocho…

 

Okay back to that Matt Sims question. Is this guy some relative of Phil Sims? Gosh we hope not. Oh no we just read about him on Wikipedia, we know how well that is updated. As it turns out, poor little Matt is Phil’s son. After the game there were several reporters huddled around his locker and asking what he thought about getting into his first game. “Well, I think I did pretty good, but not as good as Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. They are a great organization, and Robert Kraft is a great owner.” And is there anything else you can talk about other than Tom Brady?”

Final Score the Jets 9 the Bungels 49. Yea there is something to talk about other than Tom Brady you jack wagon, quit listening to your daddy so much.

 

                When does a team feel good about itself? When it has a 14 point lead in the third quarter. When does a team think that the game is in hand? When Mike Shanahan I your coach. When does a team like their chances to win up 21 to 14 going to the fourth quarter? When they have Robert Griffin 3 as their quarterback. When does a team lose by 24 points when they had a lead going into the fourth quarter? When they are playing the White Bronco.

Final Score the Feather not Dot Native Americans 21 the Broncos 45. After the game Mike Shanahan was asked about Peyton Manning. He replied “You know whatever side of the tracks he is on is the right side, and when he crosses them he is still on the right side. He went to a psychic once… to warn her…”

 

                Hum if you get beat by 2 touchdowns and the game wasn’t that close. We can sometimes understand. If you lose by 2 touchdowns to the Cardinals, is your general manger named Moe Howard? Oh wait, we know it is Larry Fine right? Well anyone else would not let that happen. Is Mickey Mouse your Coach? Hell you might as well have had Ariel as your Quarterback.

Final Score the Falldowns 13 the Cardinals 27. Holy crap the Cardinals are 4 and 4 so far, same has well, the J E T S and the cowgirls, well no wonder.

 

                So we are back to Christian Ponder right? Is that the bullet you want to put in the chamber while playing this Crazy Quarterback Russian Roulette that seems to be played in Minnesota? Okay so you tried Josh Freeman, and let no one forget Matt Cassel, and now we are back to Christian Ponder. Well if anything makes us want to throw up it is these three Quarterbacks. Hell the Three Sims’ would be better than these stooges. Talk about a group, a Shemp, a Curly and a Curly Joe if ever there were a bunch.

Final Score the Packers 44 the Viqueens 31. OMG. And the greatest running back in the NFL had only 60 yards. Bet he has more next week.  

 

                And so on Monday night while the world was watching the Baseball Game, we had history in the world of Sports. There has never been a World Series game and a Monday night football game in the same city at the same time. Interesting isn’t? Well just to let you know the Ewes were playing so could this really be called a football game? Well we have to admit that the Ewes played the perfect game. They had 23 first downs, 339 yards in total offense, they got 7 sacks, but they had one thing going for them that Seattle did not. And that was Kellen Clemmons. And that my friend was the difference in the game. In this game you have to score touchdowns not field goals.

Final Score the Shehawks 14 the Ewes 9. Unless you are playing the Beagles, then you can kick field goals and win.

 

Well that will do it for us again this week. We hope that you have enjoyed this as much as we have putting it together.

 

And remember like we always say…

 

Hear that Bengal growlin’,
Mean and ang-a-ree,
Here he comes a prowlin’,
Lean and hung-a-ree,
An offensive brute,
Run, pass, or boot,
And defensively he’s rough! Tough!

Cincinnati Bengals,
That’s the team we’re gonna cheer to vic-to-ry!

Touchdown Bengals!
Get some points up on that board
and win a game for Cincinnati!
