1.) Classic Chris Godwin game. Racks up the yards, but always gets tackled short of the endzone.
2.) Anyone want to take the bet that Vita Vea ends up with more sacks than teeth this year?
3.) Suh has five times the amount of sacks than Geral McCoy this season. I know, it’s not a fair comparison. We play in a 3-4 defense now.
4.) Pierre Deseriously needed that turnover.
5.) Brady and Gronk hooking up more times than… Well, lets just say Wilt’s seat is getting a little warm.
6.) Leonard Fournette is playing so well that Ronald Jones faked Covid to get himself out of the game. “Coach, I got a slight cough. I should probably leave.”
Dislikes:
1.) Our defense defending a 3rd and long attempt is like watching a movie about playing cards. Casino Royale, or Rounders, or 21, you know it’s always going to come down to an intense final hand and the main character is going to have some ridiculous luck and get the rare royal flush. You know it’s impossible, but you also expect it to happen.
2.) Another genre of movie that can explain Scotty Miller’s absence is the horror movie in which the main characters don’t yet know they’re in a horror movie. Anyone seen Scotty? Oh, he got up in the middle of the night and caught the train home and didn’t tell anyone. But, he left a note see? I’d text him, but our phones don’t get reception out here. Also, the natives invited us to a feast they have once every 24 years. What luck we have!
3.) Let’s just stick with the movie themes. In the Rock Sean Connery throws a knife through someone’s head and tells Nic Cage to never hesitate. I think that’s the film Gio Bernard should study this week.
4.) Bruce Arians pulls a Chase Young and mouths off about how no one can run on us.
5.) That Pick Six was bad. Most Buc fans handled it well though. I attribute it to the last Pick Six Atlanta had against us where we didn’t even get a chance to twist the lid off our beers in overtime before the game was over.
Random:
1.) Is it really necessary to mention it’s someone’s first year coaching a team and then throw up a graphic showing his win/loss record?
2.) Thank you to the Mods for driving ATrain down to the comments section in Yahoo Finance. He is now with his people.
3.) If I could get serious for a minute. It’s an important time in America right now. Corporations like BlackRock are swooping in and buying up all these houses. There is legitimate concern that these corporations are driving up the housing prices and we will become a nation of renters. But, private citizens are fighting back. Even though we’ve lost a ton of homes, one corporation has lost more. The Atlanta Falcons.
Bit of read this week, I know. Took some time setting up some mediocre jokes, but in the end it’s all the same. We have a commanding lead in the division and I really can’t remember a time where we weren’t fighting for positioning. I guess we fight it out amongst the division leaders, but with no games against them we just have to win and hope they lose. Back to Tampa to face the Bills.
