Stroll down the NFL Boulevard

Divisional Weekend

2016

 

                Well this week we had the top 8 teams in the NFL in action. We had a streaking team a couple of injured teams, a couple of lucky teams, and a dirty team. There are 24 teams that didn’t play this weekend, so you think that this would go fast right? Expo if you would please kick it Divisional style!

 

                First up we find the streaking team taking on an injured team as the Kansas City Chiefs went to Boston to take on the Patriots. The consensus around the league is that no one likes the Patriots except for former players. So the Experts that work at ESPN, Fox, NBC, NFL Network, CBS,(Phil Simms and Jim Nance are employed by the Patriots currently which you can tell when they call a Patriots game) all think that the Patriots are a team in which all other teams should be measured by. Held up as a model franchise, we however feel they skirt the rules, film opponents practices illegally, under inflate balls, and just doesn’t mind pushing the boundaries of the rules. But this game was a way to prove that kicking a field goal when the other team scores a touchdown. Kansas City lead in total yards, First downs, and time of possession. But they could never lead on the scoreboard.

Final Score the Chiefs 20 the Patriots 27. 5 Championship games in a row is a remarkable feat…

 

                So the night game on Saturday was wonderful. Isn’t it great that we get a night game on Saturday night? The Prime time game had everything you could want. Hey Expo you want over time? We got it. Do you want drama on the field? We got it. You want a coin flip that turns into a coin toss and not a flip? Yep we got that too. This game had the greatest of all plays, the “Hail Mary”. So let’s start there, with time running out we find Arron Rogers throwing the ball as high as he could into the night sky. When the ball came down like Manna from the heaven above Jeff Janis cradled the ball like a small child who was trying to squirm their way to the floor. That makes the game tied, and sends us to overtime, yippee!! Now the Officials explain that the rules of overtime and show the coin to toss. When they flip the coin, it doesn’t flip. Now 99 times out of 100 the coin will turn over when it is flipped, but this time it didn’t the Official decided to flip the coin again. Upon the “reflip” the Packers lose the toss and have to kick off. On the first play of overtime Arizona’s Larry Fitzgerald catches the ball and runs towards the endzone. He gets tackled at the 5 yard line and then scores two play later after he catches his breath. Now before you say the Green Bay needed to get the ball in overtime as well we are in the playoffs, and this is sudden death. If you want the ball? Stop them, you have been stopping them all game, stop them now get the ball and score.

Final Score the Packers 20 the Cardinals 26. Wow what a game. It is a shame that this one had to end.

 

                 First up on Sunday we find the tale of two halves. In the first half the Panthers rolled up 31 points. Including two touchdowns from Jonathan Stewart, who accounted for 106 yards in the game including a long of 59, so he really gained 47 on 18 carries. Not too shabby. Seattle Marshon Lynch Mr. Beast mode himself had 20 yards on 6 carries with a long of 9. Which means he had 5 carries for 11 yards. That is REGGIE Bush production. In the First half the Panthers put the game out of reach. In the Second half Seattle proved that the game was out of reach.

Final Score the Shehawks 24 the Panther 31. So this year’s Super Bowl will not have the Seattle Shehawks which is a great thing for everyone except those that are fans. But after Last year in the Superbowl the NFL needs a better coach on the NFC Side.

 

                And lastly the game of games. Big Ben Roethlisberger did all he could do to keep the Steelers in the game for as long as he could. But you don’t play for 18 seasons, do Pizza Commercials, and Insurance commercials without learning a thing or two about winning. Peyton Lulled the Steelers to sleep with what turned out to the Play of the day. While on the sidelines Bronco head coach came to the offense and told them that he had a trick play that was sure to fool the Steeler defense. “Alright what we need is the lineman to stand straight up at the line, except for the Center, you get over the ball and snap it. The line men will all fall down on the ground and act like you are looking for a contact. Anderson, you start to scream that you lost a contact, and the defense will think that the linemen are looking for it and start to help them. Peyton you can throw the ball the down field and we will score a touchdown. This worked every time in Practice when I coached in Houston.”

Final score The Steelers 16 the Bronco 23. When Peyton got in the huddle he told the guys to just run a different play and he would take care of it. So Peyton took the snap, and fell down. The Steelers thinking that Peyton had given up stopped and Peyton got up and threw the ball to a receiver for a first down. He told the Head coach when he came off the field “That is a trick play.”

 

Well it is hard to believe we are down to 3 games left. Let’s see what happen this week.

And remember like we always say

   

Love
Love will keep us together
Think of me babe, whenever
Some sweet-talking girl comes along, singing her song
Don't mess around, you've just got to be strong, just stop
'Cause I really love you, stop
I'll be thinking of you
Look in my heart and let love keep us together

You
You belong to me now
Ain't gonna set you free now
When those girl start hanging around talking me down
Hear with your heart and you won't hear a sound, just stop (stop)
'Cause I really love you, stop (stop)
I'll be thinking of you
Look in my heart and let love keep us together

Whatever
Young and beautiful
But someday your looks will be gone
When the others turn you off
Who'll be turning you on?

I will, I will, I will
I will be there to share forever
Love will keep us together
I said it before and I'll say it again while others pretend
I need you now and I'll need you then, just stop (stop)
'Cause I really love you, stop (stop)
I'll be thinking of you
Look in my heart and let love keep us together

Whatever, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba, whatever
I will, I will, I will, I will

You better stop
'Cause I really love you, stop (stop)
I'll be thinking of you
Look in my heart and let love keep us together
Whatever, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba, whatever
I will, I will, I will, I will
