Between teams refusing to score touchdowns, fantasy meltdowns, and 86 year old men doing the double bird cha-cha from their owner's box, quite a strange week in the NFL.
Week 10
+2 to Jacksonville Jaguars via Maurice Jones Drew's Taking a Knee at the 1 - While I was watching this, the only thing I could think of was how if this play backfired, the Jaguars coaching search would begin within the next hour. But it worked, and I approve. MoJo even had the heart to apologize to his fantasy owners afterwards. In fact, a similar play by myself on NCAA Football 2005 on Playstation 2 during my college years resulted in Ken Darby (now of the St. Louis Rams) calling me cheap, dirty, and all kinds of other fun things. Despite the fact that I had angered an SEC/Future NFL running back who outweighed my by approximately 60 lbs of muscle, I stayed true to the strategy, ran the clock down, and punched in the game winning score with just seconds left on the clock. One of my finer moments in life.
-1 Dallas Cowboys via Horrendous Offense - Doesn't it seem like every time the stories start rolling out on how the Cowboys are putting it together and how Romo is turning into the QB they thought he'd be, these games happen?
+2 to the Tennessee Titans via Bud Adams's birds - Inappropriate? Sure. Vulgar? Yes. Entertaining? Absolutely. Come on, the guy is 86 years old and pulls out the
double-barrelled bird flip? You can't beat that.
-1 to the Buffalo Bills via the Pink Slip - Because let's face it, if you're firing your coach, things are not at their best.
-1 New England Patriots via Going For It - Let's be honest, if it was anyone but Belichick, you would not have any of the contingency of writers/broadcasters, etc. defending this call. On the same token, it was literally inches away from being one of the most genius calls of the year. Finally, it's the REGULAR SEASON. This loss doesn't do that much harm to the Patriots, so why not take a gamble, right? But, the bottom line is it didn't work and if anyone had any doubt the Colts would punch it in at that point, you were crazy. I appreciate the guts, but if it's my team, I think I'd take my chances make Peyton go 70 yards instead of 20.
-1 Chicago Bears via Jay Cutler - 5 interceptions? Forget the Bears fans, Cutler is singlehandedly killing my fantasy season.
