“I hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd, when they said, sit down, I stood up”!

Springsteen ‘Growing up”

Sport is cruel.

I wish to offer prayers and best wishes to young Aiden Hutchison. The violence those men deal with daily is beyond most people’s understanding. To see his leg snapped like a twig Sunday only exemplifies how lucky the few are that get to compete at such a high level.  NFL athletes undertake extreme risk on a daily basis.

Davante Adams is going to resuscitate the Jets! I’m not so sure I believe that… the Jets need horses on the O-Line in my estimation, but Adams can’t but help that run game a bit… time will tell with these Jets, Jets, Jets.

One thing’s for certain, as there IS time for them to right that downbound train.

How ‘bout them Cowboys?

Jerry Jones is doing to the Cowboy’s what the children of Papa Bear Halas have done to the Bears. No doubt intentions were and are ‘admirable’ but institutional prowess and execution are flawed. When ‘one’ does not belong in the football business, it shows!

The best news for the Pokes and the Bears? There exists….the Browns and the Bears and Boys ain’t quite there…..yet!

Don’t think I have forgotten about the Raiders!

What Al’s son has done to the culture of that team is unfortunate. Sure, the franchise, like that in Dallas and Chicago even Cleveland are appreciable wealth assets but what about pride? What about serving your people? What about showing up with some dad gummed civic pride for the fans?

Philly? They got head coaching issues and what’s about to boil over there may not be pretty. Someone in the NFC East better watch out for the Commies.

NFC South was supposed to be the cheap suits, yet it seems like they have two legit playoff contenders there.

I hope Tagovailoa can play and maintain full health again. I was lucky enough to be in a huddle from 1967 to 1993 and I understand the importance of team for men of that age. Everlasting bonds man.

Jet’s fire Salah. Unfair, hail yes but it IS the nature of this profession. Salah will be back as soon as he wants to say yes to the many offers to D Coordinate he’ll receive.

Bills, Vikes, Lions, Pack, Texans, Chiefs, Hawks and Steel….Super Bowl winner comes from that group from this week 7 perspective.

The Jags zigged when they should have Jagged. Young QB who entered the NFL with accolades is simply not performing to his reputation…that said, the front office geniuses dumped WR talent this offseason like it was cancerous?

I see some games this week that offer great opportunity based on the reactions (as in over) from last week…. Week 6 was a public slaying of the bookmakers capped off by the Bills cover MNF for the cherry on top.

While I won’t ‘cry no tears’ for the bookies, I’ll assure you that there will be some public confident bet’s coming in on the NFL this week.

 

Carolina on my mind benching Young for Dalton will display how far Carolina as an organization really is….was it the QB position or is the issue a little larger than that? We’ll know soon. I for one support Andy Dalton the Red Rifle. Dude is an NFL QB. Period.

-The Ravens O-Line is in need of real development, as is there defensive backfiield.

-Raven QB Jackson is one athletic chap but his passing aptitude/ability/effectiveness is less than average.

-Buc’s do the Lions at home, Raida’s beat the Ravens after being down big, Vikes vex the Niners and the Saints exorcise the Pokes. If you’re betting the NFL you best ‘hate’ your money if you wish to earn.

Why don’t any of the NFL rookie QB’s look like CJ Stroud did last year? Because Stroud is surely the exception not the rule.

-Speaking of Texans? That Houston Texans to have most wins in the NFL 20/1 ticket I hold is breathing.

-Prayers for the young QB Tagovailoa who has great talent but now must prioritize just exactly how he wishes to spend the rest of his life. Let’s hope whatever the decision the young man lives a healthy full life.

-As far as those bastard Cops who abused Tyreek Hill a week ago, those ignoramuses need to be disciplined and I mean publicly and seriously. Bullies!

Hey, there’s nothing more honorable than an ethical conscientious cop (and there is an abundance of them) but there’s also nothing worse that a ‘pig with an attitude’ (and there are well too many of those also).  Those fat jagg’s in Miami need to shovel poop in the everglades for a couple months.

-Injuries this week were apparent and as this season moves into the fall we’ll see many, many, more. You see, the NFL cares very little about the player and that is evidenced by the fact that they’re parting out teams on primetime TV to suit the networks and boost their ratings…that comes at the expense of the player.

Need evidence?

In the last 5 years no teams played 3 games in 10 days. This year 10 teams do*.

In the last 5 years 5 teams had to endure 4 games in seventeen days…this year the NFL has 5 teams on the schedule that must do so*.

This year there are 66 games on the NFL schedule where one team has a 3+ day rest over the other team*.

-The Carolina franchise is in deep do-do. Deep, and it appears there is little hope outside of Charlotte for this bunch.

-Bucs, Saints, Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Steel, Texans, Vikes, Seahawks are all undefeated, who’ll be the last to lose a ballgame?
