Stroll down the NFL Boulevard

Week 9

2015

 

                Well we have been looking for it for a while now. And we have found it. It is the halfway point of the season. Yippee. Races are beginning to become clear, Teams are becoming spoilers and other teams are just plain sucking. But before we get to the week, Expo will tell us the long list of teams that are off, oh wait you can’t hear Expo can you? Okay let us tell you Kansas City is off, and Baltimore is off as well. Arizona and Seattle are planning on their next game. The J J Watt show has been pre-empted due to a presidential debate, and Detroit is on a bye this week, but would anyone really know it? So Expo that will do it, Shall we get started? Kick it then!!!

 

                First up on Thursday we find the Battle of Ohio. Years and years ago in a land far far away there were two fighting factions. Two communities that thought they had the upper hand in their little part of the world. There were long battles, there were short battles and there were battlefields littered with the souls of young men who died fighting for what they believed in. However this Battle was far less intriguing than that story.

Final Score the Brownstains 10 the Bengals 31. JAF showed us why Shorty Speedy Quarterbacks should all be compared to Doug Flutie. And JAF you are no Doug Flutie.

 

                In the first matchup on the Sunday we find the Olphins heading up for a honeymoon escape to Buffalo to check out Niagara Falls.  After the Maid of the mist boat ride the Olphins showed up at the game and found that they were behind and could not catch up. No defense again is the doom of this team.

Final Score the Olphins 17 the Bills 33. Tyrod “TT” Taylor was 11 of 12 for 181 yards but most of those was to Sammy Watkins break out game.

 

Next up we find the Ewes going to the Minnesota. Now we have talked in the past about what is not a Dirty hit. We have talked how this hit or that hit is not dirty, but we are going to talk about what is dirty. Now we don’t mind playing to the whistle, in fact we encourage it. However when someone gives up. There is no need to hit that person. If you are running and slide down to give up then you should be safe. But if some Jackwagon dives into you and knocks you out then that is a dirty hit. LaMarcus Joyner, that was a dirty hit, your coach knows it was a dirty hit, you know it was dirty hit, everyone who has seen it knows it was a dirty hit.

Final Score the Ewes 18 the Viqueens 21 in overtime. God doesn’t like ugly. You will have to answer for your crime against football. Keep your head on a swivel and watch for the turf monster to get you.

 

                Ok the next game is we have the Deadskins heading to New England. We know that the schedule maker has to put together a schedule. And if anything else it appears that maybe just maybe the Patriots have learned not to run the score up when you can. Maybe you can be 8-0 and not have to score 50 on your opponent.

Final Score the Deadskins 10 the Patriots 27. Or possibly this is what New England can score with properly inflated balls? And the Deadskins did win something. This week’s Birth Canal team of the week. Congrats to you Deadskins!

 

                So during the weekend we had one of the biggest College football games in the history of college football where the Alabama Elephants took on the Tigers of Southern Louisiana. After the Tigers Luck ran out it appears that the on Sunday the spell of the Voo Doo cast upon the Taints has run out as well. While football is the greatest game ever, overtime should be looked at. Before the current rule was put in place the complaint was that the game would be decided on a coin flip. So the NFL changed the rules to be if the team with the ball first kicks a field goal on the first possession, then the other team gets a chance to have the ball. However if the team with the ball first scores a touchdown the game is over. And so we have the same complaints again

Final Score the Titans 34 the Taints 28. Kicked in the Taint again has to hurt. And this week New Orleans was kicked in the Taint by the Web footed Super Duck.

 

                We watch games every week where the Turnover is such a big player. Either you can’t get them, and you lose, or you get them and you win. This week is the classic example of that. Jacksonville gave the ball to the NEW YORK FOOTBALL JETS four times. The Jets in return didn’t give the ball back. A Classic move by the JETS.

Final Score the Jags 23 the JETS 28. Hey Expo, when does the Jags Starting Quarterback come back? What? Blake Bortles is the Starter for Jacksonville? Well no wonder they suck?

 

                Well this was a Match up that we were so looking forward to seeing. There are times in this world, which bring memories to our mind. One such Memory is when the Oakland Raiders and the Pittsburg Steelers meet in Pittsburg. Because you see young Sherman was about 7 years old watching a playoff game on December 23 1972 with the Raiders and the Steelers at his grandparents’ house. It was cold, and the fire was in the fire place, the TV was on and the game was going, late in the Second half when terry Bradshaw threw a pass to John Fuqua that was knocked back and caught out of the air by Franco Harris who ran it in for the game winning touchdown! That play so caught our attention, that our love for the game was formed then and there. The emotions of the game, have continued over the next 40 or so years that every time these two teams play, we have that fondness and memory that afterward we tuck back into our football filing Cabinet.

Final Score the Raiders 25 the Steelers 38. While this game didn’t have the excitement of that game 40 years ago. Antonio Brown did have two one hundred yard receiving days on Sunday. One in the first half, then one in the second half as well.   

 

                In the Featured Game on Fox we find the Green Bay Packers going to Carolina Panthers. Cam “the Fig” Newton was in no mood for his discount double check this week. As he threw for 297 yards and ran for another 57 during the game. However it took a great defensive play by Thomas Davis with an interception in the final minute to seal the victory.

Final Score the Packer 28 the Panthers 36. Yes the Panthers stay undefeated. Does it seem ironic that after they cut a certain defensive end that there football Karma has turned around?

 

                Sometime the more things change the more they stay the same. And we are left with trying to figure out the fact from fiction. So as this world keeps turning, we are looking for the Falldowns to… Well, fall down. Earth meet the Falldowns. They are coming back to reality fast than a rock in a vacuum. While Matty Ice is trying his best to keep his head above water, the Falldowns keep dragging him under. Perfect example of this is the Falldowns facing the 49er. Or as it is also known as, the Falldowns falling down.

Final Score the Falldowns 16 the 49er 17. If you can’t beat out Blain Gabbert for your Starting Quarterback job, then you might have a problem. If you can’t beat Blain Gabbert’s team in a football game, you are in trouble.

 

                Up next we find the NEW YORK FOOTBALL GIANTS heading to Tampa Bay. GIANTS Head coach Tom Coughlin continues to look so confused while on the sidelines that we have to wonder if he has Gangsta Rap music blaring in headset. This game also had the return of Defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul. JPP was injured in a Firecracker accident on July fourth. Yes a firecracker accident. Apparently he was playing the vintage firecracker game, which goes like this. “You hold this firecracker in your hand. I will light the fuse and count to 10 and then you throw it up in the air. And we will watch it explode okay?” looks like the count should have gone to 3 instead, as poor JPP had 2 fingers blown off. Expo? Two fingers blown off? Two fingers? Are there picture on the internet of this? Okay can you print them off for us?

Final score the NEW YORK FOOTBALL GIANTS 32 Tampa Bay 18. After the game Ellie was talking on the phone, “Hey Dad did you see that we won? Oh hi Mom? Is dad there? Oh he is? He is putting together the new Turkey fryer for Thanksgiving? Oh yea I can bring a side dish. Hum well I can bring the same thing I brought last year, Yes Mom I can afford it. I found this new store that has Corn on the cob real cheap. It is like a dollar each”

 

                So now we get to the last of the day games. The Undefeated Denver Broncos and the Indianapolis Colts. The Matchup of all Matchups. Peyton Manning going home to the Colts again. This Game had to make Jim Nance and Phil Sims Pants go crazy with excitement, they only mentions Tom Brady and the Patriots the required 20 times during the game and three times during halftime. So let’s look at the two Quarterbacks shall we. Both were 21 of 36 both had 2 touchdowns and only one had 2 interceptions. One played with a lacerated Kidney and a Partial tear in his abdominal muscle.

Final Score the Broncos 24 the Colts 27. Yep Bad Luck for the Colts as Andrew is now out for 2 to 6 weeks. After the Game Peyton’s phone began to ring. “Hello Dad. Humm What? How do you put legs on a Turkey fryer? Well did you read the directions? No dad I can’t ask my Buick. And no Papa Johns doesn’t do Fried Turkey. I thought we were having Chicken Parm for Thanksgiving, because it tastes so good?”

 

                And now the Sunday night game. When did the Bob Costas become the Spokesman for the Nation? It seems that he wants to comment on all social issues. This week it happens to be the Greg Hardy situation. So give us a little latitude here please, because this is our forum, okay. Domestic Violence is not an answer to any situation. But if we are going to only show the teams that have never had a Domestic abuse Charge against a member of their team well get ready for the end of sports. With that said, you can be as mad as hell about it, we all are. We are not condoning this at all. But until the Victim goes through a trail and convicts their accuser this will not change. It was once said that everyone has a price, and if you have enough money you can get away with anything. And he did. So let’s see who is to blame? Whose fault is it? Is it the NFL’s? They suspended him for a year, then 10 games? Is it the Union? They decided to fight for their member, because he was being held to a new standard not the old standard, (Which was too lenient to begin with). Do we blame the Justice system that convicted in the original Trail but then allowed the two parties to settle out of court on Appeal? Do we blame the victim who won the lottery? Do we blame the Team that signed a Free Agent? There is plenty of blame to go around? Not sure the Bob Costas’s opinion (Which is all it is) matters. We did notice that the Mighty ESPN Just settled a sexual Harassment suit by paying off the victim and asking her to go away with a gag order. This is not the first time ESPN has been investigated for this issue. It appears that the issue maybe the entire Justice system in that a monetary settlement can be reached before a trial happens, or sometime after. We wonder when Bob Costas will comment on that. We are just as outraged as you are about this. We don’t’ like the situation either. Our hands are just has tied as yours are on this. So Boycott if you like, picket if you like, but remember to boycott and picket every time Domestic Violence or Sexual Assault is reported. Until these issues stop happening there is always a chance of this happening. Now to the game.

Final Score the Beagles 33 the Cowgirls 27. Another overtime game where the first team to score a touchdown wins. This week the Cowgirls lost by coin flip, since their defense can’t stop anyone after about 7 minutes in the fourth quarter. This makes the second time they lose on the coin flip.

 

                And Monday night. This week ends with Da Bears migrating south for a little pre Hibernation celebration in Sunny warm San Diego. A Classy little town where everyone is welcome, even Da Bears. And the most inviting team of NFL other than the Cowgirls are the Super Chargers, who put their 4 game losing streak on the line. And they get to continue to the fight for that 3^rd pick in the 2016 draft. Go Chargers!!!

Final Score Da Bears 22 the Super Chargers 19. When Da Bears scored with 3:25 to go in the game, it just proved that the Chargers once again didn’t play the full 60 minutes.

 

Well that will do it for us we sure do hope that you enjoy this week.

And remember like we always say.
