Buffaloney

As the Good Doctor once said, “When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.” So tell me, who had the NFC West as the best division in the NFL, 2012 edition?

 

So, if you’re the Buffalo Bills, how do you come back from this? After getting run out of their own gym by the Patriots, giving up 52 points and 550+ yards, they fly cross-country to take a savage beating of historical proportions as the 49ers became the first team ever to rush and pass for 300+ yards. (So, yeah I know you can do the math but, 600+ yards. This is what’s known as a negative trend line.) You can almost hear Fred Jackson screaming in the locker room, “We’re better than this!” They probably are but how much better? Enough to actually make a difference? The Bills spent beaucoup bucks in the off-season on DE Mario Williams – a guy his former team was ‘Can I help you with those bags?’ happy to see go – and then Buffalo added enigma wrapped in an inconsistency riddle DE Mark Anderson to a D-Line that already included DE Chris Kelsay and DT Marcell Darius and Kyle Williams. The Bills were the trendy preseason pick for second place in the AFC East.

The Bills two victories have come against the chastened Chiefs and the benighted Browns. In their three losses they’ve given up 48, 52 and 45 points. Brutal.

Apparently forgetting that 48 point loss to the Jets, Gailey’s beard noted that he didn’t feel the need to speak with defensive coordinator Dave Wannstedt’s mustache after giving up 52 points at home to the Pats because it was just one bad game. Way too early to panic. Nothing to see here. No need to hit the panic button. After the 45-3 loss to the 49ers?

Where was that panic button again?

I’m going to cannon ball on that mofo.

Shirtless.

Seriously, what have the good people of Buffalo done to deserve this, other than living in Buffalo? They’re going to spend the winter looking up the butt of the Miami Dolphins, the new trendy pick to finish second in the AFC East.

Yeah. It smells like tuna.

Dreaming of New Orleans

1.   Houston Texans – This has got to be killing Jerry Jones.

2.   San Francisco 49ers – Jim Harbaugh scares me.

3.   Atlanta Falcons – Have to hope offense wins championships, too.

4.   New England Patriots – Have to hope the Texans save their worst game of the year for the AFC Championship.

5.   Chicago Bears – I don’t know karate but I do know crazy.

Leprechauns

Every time I see Danny Woodhead I think, “How did that 14-year old sneak onto the field?” Somehow that disturbing chin beard only makes him look younger. Who told him that looks good and why did he believe them. Anyway, it’s long been my theory that the key to Woodhead’s success is that he’s so small he disappears behind the offensive linemen. He then suddenly seems to appear as if from nowhere, much like Harry Potter, five yards downfield. Expelliarmus! Immobulus! Locomotor mortis! Have we ever seen Danny Woodhead and Harry Potter in the same place at the same time? That chin beard could be a disguise. It does look like something he glued on in hopes he won’t be carded at Hooters.

Just sayin’.

As is generally the case in these gridiron contests, there are many heroes (and goats) and many big plays but if I had to pick one moment in the Broncos game it would have to be Woodhead’s 19-yard run on 3^rd and 17. You simply cannot tackle that which you cannot see…
