[2019 Season Theme]: Week 5 Bad Memories, Indeed

Saw this in the paper on Friday and did an actual LOL.

Makes me wonder how many people will have big 28-3 signs at NRG tomorrow.

Hell, I wonder if there isn't a game that the Falcons play without someone bringing a sign like that. It's crazy hilarious that those 4 characters are now synonymous with failure in our culture.

[2019 Season Theme]: Week 5 AND IT'S NO GOOD! IT'S NO GOOD!

Not only did the Rams lose, they lost to maybe my #3 team and the most beautiful QB of all time.

I noticed that when I watched the game, LA did well and when I didn't watch, they were typically stagnant at best. It was therefore my duty to not watch the Rams last drive, but I did tune in just in time for the reply of the FAILED Field Goal attempt.

All in all, it was a good night.

[2019 Season Theme]: Week 4 WHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Rams

Many times, I make things too difficult for myself to do. Blogging is one of them, with the need to tag and have an image and all the theme things. After the despicable BS of Week 2 that made me realize that I can hate a team more than I hate the Cowboys, it was all too much. 

But this week, I saw those plucky little Tampa Bay Buccaneers - at team that, this year, is floating around with Miami at the bottom of the barrel - head over to LA and beat them, 54-40. It's quite lovely, truly it is. 

[2019 Season Theme]: Week 1 Why is anyone surprised that Miami sucked?

Anyone surprised that Miami played so badly today hasn't done any research at all.

• Miami ranked 32 (aka dead last) in NFL, Bleacher Report, and CBS Sports Power Rankings
• Their overall Offense was 32 and overall Defense was 30 from my source
• Their Defense & Special Teams ranked 29 and their Kicker was at 30
• In the rankings of different parts of the teams, only their Secondary, at 18, had a close to respectable rank. The average for the other 7 metrics 29, ranging from 27-30.
• They got a B in the grades for draft picks but both of their Free Agency grades were F.

My calculation has them dead last and has them going 2-14 after most of the other games of Week 1 are entered. 

Baltimore, on the other hand, is solidly in the middle of every ranking. New England basically has a Bye next week.

This was to be expected.

[2019 Season Theme]: Week 1 Updated Readings

I had to reset my crystal ball to reflect updated information for 2019 and some things changed, mainly in the AFC.

Minnesota, New Orleans, Philly, the Rams, and Carolina still make it to the playoffs. Dallas skirts in this time instead of, I think, Detroit.

On the AFC side, the update tanked Jacksonville and significantly boosted Cleveland. New England and Kansas City lead the group, with Tennessee, Chargers, and Pittsburgh round out their top 6.

Green Bay still misses the playoffs and the update puts them below the Bears, but above the Lions. However, factoring in Week 1 will undoubtedly change that - the updated calculation predicted Chicago. The update did nothing for Denver.

Just dropped in to share this regarding Thursday night:

A win is a win, especially in Chicago.

[2019 Season Theme]: Week 0 Predictions

Looking into my crystal ball, I see good things for Minnesota (but with predictable playoff results) and Jacksonville but New England should still dominate the AFC. New Orleans should be able to seek their revenge with Philly and Carolina making themselves known again.

Once again, Green Bay will miss the playoffs but will do better than the Bears. Elway will not be able to give Flacco another Super Bowl ring this year (far from it) and Cleveland will not perform as hoped.
