Watched the second half of last night's game (after the Os game was over) and the Little Ball of Hate has some thoughts:
What a Snoozer!
So at work today you'll probably hear (well, I won't hear much, since I'm still in a hospital bed looking at the antenna on my right leg -- that's what one of the nurses Fran called it, which is a perfect description) wow what a great game! No it wasn't. It was easily one of the worst OT games I've ever seen. But it ended with a punt return for a TD. So that 10 seconds at the end is going to save the rest of the garbage I just watched?
Here's a look at my antenna 📺
Bills Offense: If Josh Allen would have stopped trying to win the game in one throw every time, this game would have been over. I'm worried that Josh is starting to buy into all the hype about him. Dude there are 10 other guys in that huddle. You've got good receivers (even the ones not named Diggs) and good RBs in a good running game. Use them! And for god sakes please slide! If you go down with injury, Bills season goes down the tubes.
Jets Defense: Some more hype, Jets defense will be on a historic level. Allen threw it into triple coverage many times, for no reason! They put a lot of pressure on Allen, but let's pump the brakes Jets fans. Jets D was very good last night and the Bills O played like a sick stray dog who snuck into the alcohol garbage.. Jets could have the best defense in the league, but the best ever? Hmmm. I would put the 85 Bears and the 2000 Ravens over them easy.
NFL hype Machine Blows Up
I guess I'm just sick and twisted, but I do love to watch when the NFL plans get derailed by things they can't control, and last night was a perfect example.
Weather: Something the NFL can't control yet! On the 9/11 anniversary, Patriots day Mother Nature told the NFL no, no, no. You will start when I say. Oh and isn't it convenient that a New York team hosts a game on 9/11 day? I'm actually not mad about that, makes a lot of sense. Anyway another
Aaron Rodgers: All off-season long, as usual the NFL loves headlines, even bad ones, that keep them in the news, despite other sports that actually have live games being played. Much of the offseason was the drama around Rodgers (oooh no leaving Green Bay, who will get the future HOFer, for me who gives a crap). He goes to New York of course he does. And then in his first possession Achilles blowout, damn, and wow you could literally see that thing snap up to his calf on the replay! OUCH! And after hyping up Rodgers, that disappears in the first two minutes of the game.
Aaron Rodgers crashes every Jets fan's hopes of a Super Bowl.
And how does it feel to be Zach Wilson (by the way I had to look him up, because I forgot who the Jets QB was last year)? So they kick him to the curb to sign Rodgers, then Wilson leads them back to the win. Listen I know this is the way it is in sports especially the NFL, but if I was Wilson I would say hummmm, so Rodgers is out, how about if you throw me some more money since I'm looking around and I'm the one who's standing (Great song!) Oh and by the way, I love the Jets head coach trying to pretend that he actually believes in Wilson.
And finally the biggest balloon to get popped for the NFL
NFL can't control team's rosters, well not directly: So the NFL was licking their chops: 9/11 day, Rodgers, and the Bills Damar Hamlin back on the field for the first time since the scary scene last year when he was dead, literally dead on the field. NFL was ready to get everyone's eyes wet as he came onto the field. Well the Bills smothered that idea. Hamlin was not suited for the game. But, it does not take away from the accomplishment of making the team, and practicing.
Good for Hamlin and too bad for the NFL Hype machine
