Finally digested my thanksgiving dinner, and some football thoughts as well.
1) FUCK. FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCKING FUCK FUCK.
2) The Long Island Jets are one win against the Giants from officially stealing my heart and giving me something to root for this season. I still have outstanding fines from my four year residence in Nassau County so I think it's legal. I've caught most of their games, and although they are difficult to watch when compared to the Cowboys QBs it's the greatest show on turf.
3) The Dallas Jason Wittens are playing for draft picks. I'm torn between not wanting it to be so bad where the coaching staff is in trouble and getting a good pick. I still really like the Marinelli/Linehan/Garrett tandem. It's just more rotten luck that there are no Heisman caliber QBs in the draft this year, because we need one. Witten/Romo have one good full season left, if we are lucky.
4) I remember lengthy discussions about the Eagles D in the preseason, and how hyped some Eagles fans were about their "definitely improved" defense despite the fact that 85% of the roster was different. I told them that for that reason it was premature to say anything about an improved defense and I was right. Yankee can whine about the underperforming O-Line all he wants but when you give up back to back 45 burgers against the Bucs and Lions you're defense is underperforming. Honestly the Eagles' total collapse and predictable turning against Chip has been the only good thing about the season.
All in all, this has been a bad season of football so far. The injuries and officiating have been worse than anyone could have predicted. Pats seem like they are cruising to the Owl, and not even because they are dominating it's just the rest of the league is terrible, unreliable or hurt. We will have to rely on Cam Newton to prevent that, I suppose. Or Carson Palmer if he's healthy.
jnc. Eagles were a top 10 D before Bradford got hurt. Guys dont believe in butt fumble at all, and it showed. Hopefully now that Bradford is back the D will play much better.
