First bye week in years, with the exception of Dam, that we aren't bitching about Pagano. Fuck him too.

Dam, Pagano, or both?? I'll say both, so fuckem !

I'm not sure there is a good team in the NFL. Rams and Cheifs have flaws. The Texans about lost to us when we didn't have a settled O line. The Browns scored some points on the Cheifs.

The Colts D looks a lot better when IF they can find a pass rusher. I'm not a big fan of free agency, but if they draft one and there is one available on the open market with the money the Colts have.......the D gets better in a hurry.

They don't need to sign a lot of free agents. Just one that makes an impact.

The Broncos completely mismanaged the final 23 seconds of the half, and it cost them 3 points.


First of all, they did the stupidest thing in the world by calling a timeout out a split second before the Texans hiked the ball on the field goal attempt. That essentially gave the kicker a practice kick, which he used to his advantage (he missed the first attempt, and then made the second attempt.)


Secondly, they made the wrong gamble prior to that sequence when they had 4th down on the Texans' 44 yard-line with only 23 seconds left to play in the half. By attempting (and missing) that very low-percentage field goal attempt (a 62 yarder), they gave the Texans an extra 8 yards because the team gets the ball from the place of the kick, not from the line of scrimmage. If they had INSTEAD gone for it on 4th down, the risk would have been less ......... if they made the first down, great. But even if there was an incomplete pass and they turned the ball back over, the Texans would have taken over at the line of scrimmage, which (again) would have been 8 yards further away from their own field goal range than from where they actually got it on (from the place of the missed field goal attempt.)

Case Keenum rallied the team, but Brandon McManus missed a field goal attempt on the final play of the game.

The Saints look very good. That last TD Brees threw was perfectly placed. That dude is unreal.

Face guarding not called against the Cheats. Shocked? Nah!
