I think this is my favorite commercial.

“Next thing you know, I’m telling strangers that ‘defense wins championships’,”

“Well, it does.”

“RIGHT?”

Right now, I’d be happy if my teams’ defense could help win a game. I used to know what a turnover was... oh, wait. I still do. Their offense serves them up regularly.

They sent the Browns to London? I thought they were trying to ATTRACT fans. Whatever.

Anyway...

Week 8. Already. It’s going by too fast. My Broncos have been exiled to Monday Night Football where they will lose to the Chiefs, so let’s see what the slate looks like for today. As I write this, Cleveland has a 6-3 lead over Minnesota in London in a game that I am mercifully unable to see because I don’t have cable. The Browns will find a way to lose, I’m sure. Only one CBS game for us today in Denver, and it’s the Chargers at the Pats. I’m not picking against New England at home, though one of these times that they shoot themselves in the foot it’s bound to cost them a game or two. It just hasn’t yet. Over on Fox we’ll get Bears at Saints early. I guess the Saints, but my gut tells me it’ll be a bad game to watch. Late game is Cowboys at Redskins. I hate having NFC East games forced on us. I’d rather see the Texans-Seahawks game. Sunday Night is Steelers-Lions. I want the Lions to win but they look as uneven as the Broncos. Steelers win.

For the rest, I’ll say Buffalo beats Oakland, Cincinnati beats the Colts, Falcons and Jets is a tossup, Eagles over 49ers, Panthers lose to Bucs, and a whole mess of teams are off (Cards, Packers, Jags, Rams, Giants, Titans).

This week’s games kinda suck, don’t they? I should just clean the house instead.

The Browns game isnt as shockingly terrible as I expected. Kizer is showing a little bit of progress, I’m not saying he looks like a good QB but just... better. At least it isn’t yet a blow out.

I mean, they get high draft picks every year. How can they be so terrible? It defies logic and reason. At some point they have to accidentally hit on a good QB. Hopefully they did with Kizer.

I was thinking along similar lines. In a league with parity and with the advantage of picks, how do they not luck into a 10-6 season by now? Something has to be comically wrong organisationally.

I have to leave shortly (noon) to go to a cheer competition for my 10 year old. She goes on at three. Awards ceremony is at 5. This all means that I won’t be seeing pretty much any of the damned games, including the Texans.

So...

:(

NFL WTF ARE YOU DOING? THAT WAS A MOTHERFUCKING CATCH AND A TOUCHDOWN! HE HAD CONTROL THE ENTIRE FUCKING TIME!

I’m so goddamn tired of this FUCKING BULLSHIT. You want to know why ratings are down? It’s because of this utter fucking stupidity by officiating week after fucking week. They had better apologize to the Bears for this abortion of a replay reversal.

Three touchdowns with six minutes left in the first quarter of a Seahawks game? This.... Is looking like a surprisingly good game

After that game, I’ll be tuning in to all the Texans games I can.

It’s been pretty crazy this season. Our D needs to get it together so our finally-potent O can win games.

Looking forward to seeing how Watson progresses. He made the Seahawks D look like a joke, multiple times, at century link field no less. The rest of their season doesn’t look too bad, hopefully they’ll make a playoff showing

I think you guys have a QB. Just think, if you hadn’t thrown a ludicrous amount of money at Brock, you might not have gotten him. YOU’RE WELCOME.
