Hi everyone! So... I'm gonna start with an apology. I had planned to do something in anticipation of the Thanksgiving games but, well, it didn't work. I spent the day in the urgent care place because I did something STUPID! Wednesday night, I was doing cooking prep work for the big Turkey Day Dinner and dashed into the living room, for whatever reason, and NAILED the leg of the sofa with my (almost) baby toe. I broke my toe and the Proximal Phalange - the first bone into the foot. As a result, I was forced against my will to get it checked out. Just because I couldn't walk and cried a lot and my foot turned purple and green... Totally over-reacting on their part!!! But... I guess that's what family does and you gotta love them!
So... I watched the Lions-Texans game in the doctor's office. I really wanted the Lions to win but... They were determined NOT to do so! That overtime?!?! What was that? Ugh... It was just a mess! Note to Coach Schwartz: Prior to Smitty's incident last week, I don't think anyone knew the rule about throwing the challenge flag on an automatically reviewed play. After it happened, I figured every coach in the NFL was talking about it! Did you not get that memo? Your own fault!! Yes, it cost you the game.
Washington-Dallas: thank you, RGIII! I was more than ready for Jerry to lose in the Jerry-Dome! One question: why didn't the Washington player (sorry, I've forgotten his name) go into the end zone on the off-side kick? Was it just to maintain possession through the end of the game? Had it been me, I would have taken the points despite leaving 12 seconds on the clock but... They won so its all good!
New England-The Jets: Wow! That was... Damn. I don't really think anyone expected The Jets to pull that out so... No shocker. There were some VERY funny moments! I particularly liked when the ball came flying out like it had been a greased turkey! Good stuff!! Oh! And fumbling because you face-planted into an offensive lineman's ass?!? Priceless!!
On to Sunday!
This is a tough week for me. For example, I SHOULD be cheering for New Orleans to knock SF down a spot or two but... NOT GONNA HAPPEN!! I can't do it! I still want NO to lose. That's just the way it is and I'm not sorry for it!
I would LIKE for Baltimore to lose but... They are playing SD. It really could go either way. Let's pull for SD, ok?
Green Bay-New York Giants: Who to cheer for in this one? I don't know which outcome would help the Falcons or if it matters one way or another? NY is at the tail-end of their November Meltdown but it's (ugh!) Green Bay. I always enjoy seeing them loose. Although, gotta give credit to Gru (Aaron Rogers, you know) he handled the press with humor and grace last week. He was kinda funny. This is a "whatever" game for me.
As I have mentioned, I hope New Orleans loses. I hope it's painful and embarrassing. I hope they suffer!!! Need I say more?
The only game that is really important is.... THE FALCONS!!!
Ha! Obviously, right?
I still do not know what happened last week. My only thought is that the Falcons need to play this game THEIR WAY!!! Our offense has had great games! Our defense had a Fantastic game last week! We need to combine the two and get this done. Matt Ryan never flinched last week and, God knows, I would have been a blubbering mess had I been him! I give him full 100% credit. He never gave up, never let his teammates give up! That is a sign of true leadership.
The only thing bothering me is our injuries. We NEED Spoon, Jones and even Samuel (although he worries me occasionally). Our back-up guys have done well, I'm not taking anything from them but... I really miss Spoon!!! :" (
I'm really sorry this week's note is so... Blah! Today is the first day I've felt even half-way normal. I have learned a tough lesson - toes are important!! And a broken toe really HURTS!! Oh, I also curl my toes when I sneeze which just about killed me! I promise to do better next week and be back to my pithy, slightly sarcastic self!! Thanks for reading and being patient with me. You guys are awesome!!!
PS - my proof reader is out and about and I am taking pain pills - no promises on my spelling! You know I have issues seeing what I want it to say rather than what it REALLY says! : D
