Post Week 11 Thoughts

What in the world happened this week?  I am quite sincerely baffled. 

To quote a friend: "that was the ugliest win I've ever seen". This applies to:

Atlanta Falcons

Green Bay

Houston (over-time? Really?!?)

Dallas

What is the world coming to when I am forced to congratulate the JETS on a solid win?!?  Ugh... I feel sick. 

Ok. I can actually give HUGE CREDIT to the Falcons "D" Block. Those guys worked their collective asses off!!  Big John had the game I've been waiting for!  Jonathan Babinueax?  Damn!! That was awesome!!  

My grandmother always said, "if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all". In honor of her, I am not saying a single thing about the offense.  It's for the best, really.  Wait!!! I thought of a nice thing!! Thank God for Jaquizz Rogers!!  His run at the end saved us!  WooHoo! One nice thing. 

I love the Falcons. I am a passionate fan and I get VERY involved in the games. Unfortunately, this was a bad thing today.  At one point, I was in tears so I left the house.  (I know, there's no crying in football!)  My driveway looks fabulous!  When I can back, it looked like we were getting it together but... Nope.  I had to leave again. All the laundry is clean!  Notice a theme here?  I finally decided that somehow, someway me watching the game was bringing bad luck. Don't judge me!!  I was not watching - we won. 

This CANNOT happen again!  It broke my heart and has really messed up my day. Perhaps I will feel better in the morning, at least I hope. 

So, other really strange games?

What happened to the presumed "lock", Houston?  They had their hands full with Jacksonville!  It was an over-time win.  Strange things happen in the NFL - as I have mentioned!

Green Bay - sounds like they had an Atlanta kind of day. 

Dallas - I wanted them to lose. 

And... Are you kidding me, New England?!?  Can someone please why Gronkowski was even in the game in the 4th quarter?  Did someone actually think the Colts could score 35 points in less than 15 minutes?!? I got nothing, here!!

The Steelers in those uniforms?  All they needed were antenna on their helmets to complete the bumble bee look!  They deserved to loose for wearing that crap, again! Guys, once was MORE than enough; give it a rest!! 

Sorry, that Falcons game just really put me in a strange place. I couldn't even really watch the other games. See? They can't do that again!  I LOVE football and yesterday... it just wasn't fun.   I really try to give you a decent recap of what happened in the NFL but, my heart is just not in it this week. I really am sorry. 

Since we play NO on Thursday (dang! We are the Turkey Day game!) I will be hitting you with my weekly thoughts early.  I promise get my head back in the game!  

And my final thought?  Even Smitty was off yesterday!!  I neither blame nor judge him. Heck, I didn't even know that stupid rule about the challenge flag and automatic reviews!!  Like him, I'm going to claim it was yet another way to win IN SPITE of ourselves and try to move on.
