After 6 weeks the only thing I am sure of is that Denver will make it to another AFC title game. I also wish Cris Carter had his own show. He's quietly turned into the Charles Barkley of football.
You have to be using main event loosely because it feels like half of the shows ended with an interview. Unless you are calling the last match of the show the main event.
Even after 7-1 last week, I only have 1 bet. Arizona -3.5 at Oakland. Too many of the lines are basically spot on this week. Dallas over NYG is probably the 2nd best bet of the week but I'm just not willing to actually put money on Dallas keeping their act together after getting a week of solid media BJs.
I don't even know who else is good in the AFC besides the Broncos and Chargers. I thought the Bengals were way better than they've looked the past 2 weeks when they forgot how to play defense. I know injuries are a factor in Cincy but their scheme is just bizarre right now.
Selfishly I hope it's the Chargers coming out instead of the Broncos. Just something different in the AFC for once.
The entire league is such a crapshoot that the winner will be based on scheduling and match-ups. Philip Rivers has quietly become the 2nd best qb in the league so I think he's capable of getting them there.
I picked Cincy when we did our little poll a few months ago. They aren't the best team in the AFC but they still are the most talented. Not sure if that's enough to get them anywhere though
I don't think he mailed it in. If you want to get on him about not playing through injuries then I'll buy that. On the field there wasn't much he could do. He was either being double and triple-teamed or they were rolling the play away from him.
The injuries are a big thing, he clearly wasn't motivated to get back on the field. But there were also plenty of plays he went at half speed and let himself be taken out of the play, especially on obvious running downs.
I'm not even saying that it would have been the smart thing to rush back into action and kill himself for a college team that wasn't a title contender but it just didn't sit right with me.
After watching what Spurrier did to Lattimore I was glad that Clowney stood up for himself. I guess we will differ on Clowney's actual play. It never appeared to me he was mailing it in but he didn't seem really motivated to come back from that thigh injury
Hey, Hey! If you're gonna drop the quote from the song that I used to win Gold at a regional improvisational speaking competition, you're GETTING the joke I opened my speech with.
And after a LOT of yellow laundry at Ford Field, the Saints take a 7-0 lead early in the 2nd, taking advantage of a Stafford interception and a short field.
My cat was being bad so I gave him 3 RKO's...he no sold them and is licking himself as we speak....damm after last week I really thought RKO' s worked.
Well normally when you play Madden you have that camera angle from behind the QB's back. When you dive into MUT, or at least for me, it pulled the camera back (which you can do manually by pushing down (or up) on the D-Pad)
When you pull the camera out, it's easier to see the safeties and get a better idea of how the field is flowing. If you see a safety move to the left or right, it's now easier to see if any of your recievers are running past them in a way that allows you to make a play.
It allows you see more of the field pre-and-post snap, and it seems most players on MUT don't take advantage of it because I'm simply running where they ain't.
My current goal is to secure HA HA Clinton-Dix for my team.
The game had a decent attempt at a story mode, but it played like ass. I over-paid for it at a whopping $8 a year after it was released... and mine is the Wii version.
Joe looks... NOT FAT!

ReplyDelete41 main events on Raw this year, 23 have ended on a DQ/no contest. That's insane.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Jarrett channelling The Iron Sheik is... disturbing.
ReplyDeleteRay Lewis is so stupid. Predicting 0 touchdowns for Peyton tonight and a ? For rushing yards for DeMarco Murray. Why do you even have a job at here?
ReplyDeleteHis reasoning for saying zero was sound but I don't remember the last time Peyton had zero td passes in a game.
ReplyDeleteYou have to be using main event loosely because it feels like half of the shows ended with an interview. Unless you are calling the last match of the show the main event.
ReplyDeleteI'd be willing to bet my entire paycheck he'll have at least 1.
ReplyDeleteSo would I. He'll get at least two
ReplyDeleteEven after 7-1 last week, I only have 1 bet. Arizona -3.5 at Oakland. Too many of the lines are basically spot on this week.

ReplyDeleteGoddamn this mango tea is so fucking good. I could drink this shit by the gallon.

I went with Cutler over Luck today. I think I blew it.

Jadaveon Clowney might play today. I think everyone forgot he was even in the league
ReplyDeleteWhat a scary duo he and Watt could become.
ReplyDeleteThat's what happens when you get injured early on and Watt plays at an MVP level.
ReplyDeleteI feel sorry for the Rams. The Seahawks are going to be angry.
ReplyDeleteCarolina defense already letting them down. 2 straight offsides, 1 wiping out a pick and then missed tackles galore on the TD.
ReplyDeleteI'm still hoping he busts. How he mailed in his last season in college just didn't sit right with me.
ReplyDeleteI have a horrible feeling the Browns are going to follow up last weeks awesome win and blow it against the Jaguars.
ReplyDeleteI don't think he mailed it in. If you want to get on him about not playing through injuries then I'll buy that. On the field there wasn't much he could do. He was either being double and triple-teamed or they were rolling the play away from him.

ReplyDeleteWhy do birds suddenly appear...every time...you're near...
ReplyDeleteLooks like it's going to be a long day for the Panthers.
ReplyDeleteI like to imagine Joe Gagne, Maffew, and Scott Keith, as crime-fighting super friends. That is all.
ReplyDeleteI played Brady over Cutler. I am ok with my choice.
ReplyDeleteI'm mean mostly of month-old bread and meal worms.
ReplyDeletePretty much a first round KO at this point. GB has 3 TDs, I don't think Carolina even has a 1st down yet.
ReplyDeleteShut up, Meekin.
ReplyDeleteUgh, fuck off Meekin.
ReplyDeleteHey, Hey! If you're gonna drop the quote from the song that I used to win Gold at a regional improvisational speaking competition, you're GETTING the joke I opened my speech with.
ReplyDeleteYou are feces.
ReplyDeleteSome people call me Maurice...
ReplyDeleteAnd after a LOT of yellow laundry at Ford Field, the Saints take a 7-0 lead early in the 2nd, taking advantage of a Stafford interception and a short field.
ReplyDeleteI love that the Bills have an Orton to Hogan combination.
ReplyDeleteMiami are palying really well.
ReplyDeleteThis makes me nervous.
And I had the GB defense last week and dropped them for Dallas after Miami scored 24 points on them. Damn my luck.
ReplyDeleteAnyone here playing Madden Ultimate Team?
ReplyDeleteAnyone else playing Madden Ultimate Team from the pulled out camera and laughing your way to the coin bank? That shit is unfair.
It's like a recurring nightmare.
ReplyDeleteIt'll be a good game. The Seapups are overrated.
ReplyDeleteIt's like a nightmare, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteJust keeps getting worse and worse, doesn't it?
(Obscure reference?)
Seapups?
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I don't bet on sports anymore, cause i'd be losing tons of money on Seattle right now.
ReplyDeleteAs abeyance would say "yep".
ReplyDeleteYou're Canadian right? Can you bet on curling and poutine eating up there?
ReplyDeletePackers are kicking the Panthers ass. Woooooooo!
ReplyDeleteWhat kind?
ReplyDeleteMy cat was being bad so I gave him 3 RKO's...he no sold them and is licking himself as we speak....damm after last week I really thought RKO' s worked.
ReplyDeletenow that's just plain mean
ReplyDeletePoutine eating was a bridge to far?
ReplyDeleteMcKelvin is a MONSTER out there today! #billieve
ReplyDeleteeh..I was going to go with the betting on curling.
ReplyDeleteIf the Carolina defense remembered to finish their tackles, maybe it wouldn't be so lopsided.
ReplyDeleteI hope your nonexistent dick falls in the toilet tomorrow.
ReplyDelete(Cries in the corner, puts on Sarah McLachlan)
I just suck at sports betting. I have like a special negative gift. :)
ReplyDeleteSeattle looks atrocious right now; the Dallas game wasn't as close as it looked last week either; I wonder what's going on with that crew?
ReplyDeleteFlorida State wins and Carolina's getting their ass ripped. What a terrible sports weekend.
ReplyDeleteDid you yell "STUPID STUPID STUPID" to your cat?
ReplyDeleteColor of money, baby!!
ReplyDeleteI've got a very basic MUT team... maybe only three games played. Explain the camera thing.
ReplyDeleteWell normally when you play Madden you have that camera angle from behind the QB's back. When you dive into MUT, or at least for me, it pulled the camera back (which you can do manually by pushing down (or up) on the D-Pad)

Jackson AND Spiller leave the field with assistance. Shit.
ReplyDelete... maybe you should have felt sorry for the Seahawks?
ReplyDeleteWhat an ugly batch of 1pm games. Maybe the Giants can cap the day off by driving through Dealey Plaza
ReplyDeleteCan't say I noticed that. I'll give it another look... but in playing connected franchise, I can see the whole field like you're saying.
ReplyDeleteThat story mode actually seemed more entertaining than most of the ones in the old Smackdown games.
ReplyDeleteThe game had a decent attempt at a story mode, but it played like ass. I over-paid for it at a whopping $8 a year after it was released... and mine is the Wii version.
ReplyDelete...and most TNA storylines, for that matter.
