The Pursuit of Crappiness

Right, nobody thought of that one. The Pessimist's Week Fourteen Breakdown:

New Orleans 42, Dallas 17- Something had to give: America's new team from America's abandoned city versus America's QB playing for America's old team. The word "America" four times in one sentence? I might as well be Patrick Henry up in here.

Thus continues the protege defeating the master series: Mangini over Belichick, Payton over Parcells, Crennel over Shell. Never mind, that last one was for eating contests. Fat jokes make the world go round.

What happened in this game, you demand? Eh, find out for yourself. Of note: Al Michaels dropping a "WHAT THE HELL WAS HOUSTON THINKING?!" after Reggie Bush scored a TD. How about a little professionalism? Since when is it in your job description, no matter if right or wrong, to trash personnel moves? That being said, what the hell was Houston thinking, question mark, exclamation point.

Miami 21, New England 0- Nick Saban is just the best when your season is over. Once the Dolphins hit six losses, look out, because they are going to tear ass through an 8-8 firestorm. If the NFL had a strike during the first half of the year, the '78 Dolphins would be sweating napalm.
Tom Brady supposedly yelled at a fan during this game. That's so cute.

Buffalo 31, New York 13- With a New England loss....Buffalo could move to within two games with a win!! The AFC East is where football goes to die.

Cincinnati 27, Oakland 10- Are there any references on how good the Raiders defense would be if they were opposite a functional offense? My guess is no, no one is that bored.

Don't look now, the Bengals are 8-5. Actually they want you to look. They always want you to look....in the crime section.

Tennessee 26, Houston 20- Titans at 6-7? Their defense is still pretty bad, but Vince Young might as well be ROY. Most of those big runs are on third down, the "money" down as perverts like to put it.

Really, Houston, what the h-e-double hockey sticks were you thinking, bold exclamation point.

San Diego 48, Denver 20- Fun fact about Denver: Starting the past four years 5-1 means nothing. After that, those silly Broncos have gone just 20-18. Don't ever speak to me about starting the season on a high note, I will punch your grandmother.

Fun fact about Phillip Rivers: His job. The highest scoring offense does not even concern the wide receivers? You got it, Rivers just throws (lobs) it to Antonio Gates in the high post. Then there's this guy named Ladainian Tomlinson. HE'S PRETTY GOOD, ahahaha

That never gets old, when announcers go "yeah, there's also this guy named LT.....he's pretty darn good.....he's been known to get a touchdown or two" AHAHAHA, I get it! You do the tongue-in-cheek stick.

If announcers had balls, they would get crazy with it: "Gods of the cosmos, it's Ladainian Tomlinson, bring your first born to his grand sacrifice as we kneel down before the greatest of all individuals and ritualize his Holiness in all that we do. He gallops like the graceful gazelle and possesses the sheer power of several bison. I am not subservient enough to his heiness, so I will now shove a flamethrower down my throat. All hail Chief Tomlinson."

Good question! Yes, I am a bitter Bronco fan. You go to hell, Houston.

Jets-Packers: Game Wrap-Up


Jets 38 - Packers 10

Green Bay's defense was completely disemboweled by Chad Pennington, who went 25 of 35 for 263 yards and two touchdowns. His two picks were lost among three touchdown drives of 70+ yards in the second quarter alone.

Cruising on a 31-0 halftime lead, Pennington and company found it easy to produce yards and confuse the young Green Bay defense with occasional no-huddle offense, connecting with eight different receivers.

Jerricho Cotchery led the Jets in receiving with 99 yards and a touchdown with Chris Baker adding fifty and a score. Cedric Houston rushed for 105 yards with two touchdowns and Leon Washington contributed forty with his second TD of the year.

Brett Favre managed to complete 24 passes for 214 yards with 1 touchdown pass and two picks. Noah Herron led the Pack in receiving with a whopping 51 yards, while DoubleD produced forty-one with a touchdown. Ahman Green had yet another 100+ yard rushing game to no avail and to add to the constant suffering, David Rayner missed a field goal.

The Jets improve to 7-5 on the year while the Packers fall to 4-8.

The Packers head to San Fran to take on the 5-7 49ers for what could be their fifth win of the season. Or possibly their ninth loss, while Ingle Martin inches ever closer to his dream.

Fans booed the Packers several times throughout the game, but loudest as they jogged to the tunnel at halftime. Mike McCarthy sees why:
"I'd be booing too. Shoot, they should boo us. I've got no problem with that. This is a man's league, a man's business and a man's game."

Jets-Packers: First Half Update

NY Jets 31 - Green Bay 0

THIRTY-ONE TO ZERO.

The Packers have been shutout twice in Brett Favre's illustrious career. Both have come during this season. How hard is it to get into field goal position? Pretty difficult when you've turned the ball over twice and never even stepped foot into the red zone.

After 97 total Packers yards to New York's 340 and six first downs to the Jets' 22, something has got to happen. A field goal, perhaps? That would be swell.

UPDATE: Yep, you guessed it. A field goal! The Jets now lead the Pack 31-3 with just over seven minutes remaining in the 3rd quarter. It's all I've ever dreamed of.

UPDATE #2: Favre hits Driver in the end zone, Jets 31-Packers 10. McCarthy throws his flag and gets the call on a defensive reach-around.

UPDATE #3: Pennington hands off to Washington for a 20-yard touchdown run. Jets 38-Packers 10 with 11:35 left to play.
