Ok, I just CAN'T leave this one alone. Maybe I have issues but...
For those who did NOT see the Jets play on Thanksgiving, it was... EPIC!! My favorite moment was when Mark "I've got photos" Sanchez was under pressure so he opted to keep the ball and slide to the ground. He ran into his own player's very... Um... Solid ass and promptly fumbled. THAT was funny enough but the comment afterward.... PRICELESS!!!!
"It's embarrassing," Sanchez said. "You screw up the play, and I'm trying to do the right thing. It's not like I'm trying to force something. I start to slide, and I slide right in the worst spot I possibly could: right into Brandon Moore."
Those last two sentences... Wow! Yes, my twisted little mind went THERE! What?!? Like yours didn't?!? Go back and re-read them. Better, read them out loud! I'll wait....
I usually wait until after the Sunday games to do this but.... REDEMPTION!! VICTORY!!!
Thursday Night: Words cannot express my happiness at this moment!!! It has been a very long time coming and couldn't have happened at a better time!! WE BEAT THE SAINTS!!!!!!!!
I told you guys not to give up on Bryant!!! (REDEMPTION!!) I told you not to hate on Turner!! And as for the "D Block"? I LOVE THOSE GUYS!!! Are you kidding me? Moore (x2), Babineaux, Spoon and DeCoud!!!! And Peters - it might have been cancelled by a penalty but I count your interception in my book! ; D That was what we needed and Big John? Couldn't have done it without you and Biermann!! Heck, the entire Defense!! Hey, have you guys ever noticed that Dunta Robinson looks like a Predator when he makes those flying tackles? Seriously!!!! Just watch one of the Predator movies sometime, they come on cable all the time, you'll see what I mean!
For now, I must find a way to settle down and actually sleep tonight. I am totally wound up and can't stop replaying every one of those 5 INTERCEPTIONS!!
Friday morning: As expected, it took forever to fall asleep and once I did - I had bizarre football dreams. Yikes!
I am sitting her watching NFL network and they are re-hashing the game! I love seeing the highlights! Man, that William Moore pick in the 4th quarter was INSANE!! So many great moments: the Gonzalez touchdown catch, the return of Turner, that very crucial first down by Jaquizz, that kick by Bryant!!! It's phenomenal to watch highlights of a victory over the Saints!
Ok... I was recently asked, "why can't the Falcons offense and defense BOTH have a solid game? It's one or the other!" Believe it or not, I'm ok with this! This shows me that the Falcons have yet to peak. In years past, we have peaked too soon and when the post-season hits... We're spent. This whole season has been different. Each game, we continue to build and improve. If we can hit our stride and peak in the post-season... Well, I don't wanna jinx anything but you see where I'm going! This has been such an amazing ride and... It ain't over yet!!!
One last comment about this game: the Falcons did NOT ruin the Saints season! Much as I would love for us to take credit for it, it wasn't us. The Saints did this to themselves!! I stand by my week 9 thoughts - Drew Brees is TOTALLY to blame here!! His selfish, money hungry, arrogant actions in the off-season ensured that the Saints would start in a very deep hole. You can go back and read it, I won't redo that whole rant. Brees ruined this season! He should win the Douchebag of the Year Award!!! (Does this exist? I'm gonna start a petition!! Although... Sanchez is giving him some competition.)
Please remember that there are some important games Sunday! We are all Bears and Broncos fans this weekend - don't fight it! I have a feeling that the Falcons players will be watching just like the rest of us. Oh man! Now I want to watch WITH them!! Oh, oh!! I wanna watch with the D Block crew!! How fun would THAT be?!?!? If anyone has a connection... Please?!? Name the place and I will be there! : D Call me?
I will be back Monday or Tuesday and we shall see what's what. I just couldn't resist an early note about the AWESOMENESS that was Thursday Night Football!!!
Oh, my spell-checker is MIA so... Sorry in advance for any oops!
