Oh Myles!

by

Myles Garrett is an idiot. Of course, you all know this by know after seeing that wild TNF game on Thursday Night Football.
He has been suspended for the rest of the season, and it’s considered ‘indefinite’, which could mean forever.
Luckily, no criminal charges were filed, as he could easily have faced a prison sentence for his reckless behaviour.

The Game

TNF on Nov 14th, 2019 was not a very important game with two teams barely able to muster a playoff run this season, but it was an emotional one.
It’s no secret that these two teams HATE each other.
Whether it’s the divisional rivalry, a lingering resentment amongst blue collar cities, or the fact that every time that they play each other-they get amped up.
This was a down and out dirty game.
With JuJu taking a blatant helmet to helmet hit, and after the play trash-talking increasing, it was evident that something was going to happen.
Violence was on the menu.

The Refs

What did the refs do?
In a season where refs have been on everyone like glue, you would have thought that they might have anticipated that this was going in a bad direction.
After the hit on JuJu’s head, did they take a moment to address the players and coaches and say ‘he guys, it’s time to tone this down.’
They didn’t.
This could have been avoided, and the refs should heed some of the blame in allowing this to go this far.

The Result

Myles Garrett apologised profusely after the incident, but as we know-that is just not enough.
When you watch the replay and see the intensity in his eyes, there was only one colour.
Red.
A red eyed intensity to bash the crap out of Mason Rudolph and everyone who got in his way.
No matter what he says after the incident, he was the one who pushed harder and harder throughout the game.
Did Rudolph kick him in the balls and try to rip off his helmet?
Hard to tell.
But he’s the QB. He is afforded a degree of protection, and if the refs did see something, then they should have nipped that in the bud asap.
Myles is going to need to disappear this season.
Just shut up, don’t be like Burfect, and accept your punishment.
If they decide you should NEVER play in the NFL again.
Accept that too.
Time to grow up son.

Tegridy

by

Sometimes you just need a little Tegridy right Baker?
Maybe if Baker showed a bit more Tegridy, and spent less time shaving-he would be in a better position than he is.

Tegridy is about doing the simple things right.
Doing the work, putting in the effort, getting it done, and smoking a big old bowl of Buddha.
Maybe if Baker played blazed every game, he might not be so frazzled.

And if the NFL doesn’t work out for Baker, he can look at some other options-like Mike Tyson did.
Go out to Nevada, set up a big old cannabis farm, and get into ‘weed-tourism.’
He already looks like Randy Marsh-no time for half measures.

When will the NFL finally allow players to have THc in their systems?
Well, that’s going to take some Tegridy too.

Browns vs Jets

by

Holy QB injuries Batman!
Week 2 in the NFL saw some notable QBs go down to some pretty serious injuries.
Sam Darnold got taken down by mono, then Trevor Simian had his ankle collapsed in this game vs the Browns.

The Jets are screwed.
They can barely put some plays together, and losing 2 QBs and relying on their 3rd so early in the season is only going to bite them on the ass.
Everything must go the way of Le’veon Bell now, which means everyone will know what’s coming.

Odell Beckham Jr. made a few good plays in this, but again-you barely beat the Browns.

Both teams will need to make massive adjustments in their rosters this season, if they have any chance of wanting to win the AFC this season.

Baker Mayfield still has some zip on the ball, but he also chucked it into horrible coverage a few times which could have easily been run back.

Baker is going to have to do better in week 3, or the Browns could be back to a losing season status again.
Luckily for him he was one of the few who wasn’t injured.
Who will be next?

AFC North Prediction

by

All hail the Cleveland Browns!
For they are here to save us from our misery, deliver us from evil, and atone for their past wrong-doings.
Or, they might just lose.

Browns fans certainly have an air of confidence this season after so many years of bleach-chugging in the bottom of the division.
Yes, they have a lot of tools to make a run for it, but do they have enough to crush the rest of the division?
Nope.
There are just too many X-factors on this team, and then there is the road to the AFC playoffs.
Does anyone think that this Browns team could stop Tom Brady?
No way Jose.

Then there are the Pittsburgh Steelers.
After dropping the dead weight of Antonio Brown, the Steelers actually look like that they might be able to perform solidly under Mike Tomlin this season.
James Connor got his running legs under him last season, and Juju has the room to run all over this division.
Wade McElwain and Ryan Cull both have the Steelers to pip the other teams in this division.

The Ravens are an interesting team in their depth, but their experience might be what bites them on the butt.
Their running game looks tight, but will Lamar Jackson be too predictable in his runs.
Joe Flacco wasn’t a runner, but he sure was able to move the ball down the field.
Going to be tough this year in this division, but they should still hit around the 500 mark.

The Cincinnati Bengals are just a mess. With AJ Green injured (again) one wonders how the ginger-ninja Andy Dalton is going to string together wins.
The defence was hobbled last season, & with Vontaze Burfect off to the Raiders, will they have any punch on their D line.

Wade and Ryan agree on this one as well.
All hail the Steelers-champions of the AFC North!
