American Football (NFL)

@SKT yeah man. I was super impressed with how well the Broncos played on both sides of the ball. I would have even been happy with how far they’ve progressed throughout the season and battling the Chiefs in such a well played game. But for it to end the way it did…just a perfectly coached ending to the last second…then that!!? Ugh.

Many years ago a band called The Boomtown Rats had a song called I Hate Mondays,but not me because that’s the day I get to do the wrap up for the IH Survivor Pool.This segment is called What The Flock? @Matt was CAWtious this week going down to the Big Easy for some Easy money as he picks The Falcons to beat The Saints,who had just lost 7 in a row,and fired their head coach,but it was not to be as the Saints march al over the Falcons beating them 20 -17 and sending Matt to the sidelines. Side note…All other the other teams with Birds in their names won this week. @Oaktavia goes across the Potomac this week,also not picking The Ravens,as he looks to the Commanders to beat The Ravens rival Steelers,or The Squeelers as he has been known to call them. But there would be no Hail Mary’s this week as The Commanders lose to the Steelers by a score of 28-27. On another side note @Oaktavia was 0-2 picking Commanders last week. @Nocturama,filling in for Da @goosehd picked Da Bears,who picked this week to go into hibernation as The Patriots marched all over them to the final score of 19-10. @Twistlock made me think of the hit TV show Ted Lasso about an American who goes over to Europe to coach Futbol,but in reverse,@Twistlock is from Europe and is doing a great job picking American football as the Bills “Lasso” the Colts 30-20 and send @Twistlock into week 11. @Mizmazzle snowed in with a blizzard in Denver,drinking bourbon,getting snow days,watching football had his version of a “Happy/Sad” moment as he correctly picks The Eagles, who fly into Allas(There’s no longer a D in Dallas) and proceed to run all over the aforementioned Cowboys to the tune of 187 yards and beating them 34-6 making @Mizmazzle very happy to still be in the Pool,but his Denver Broncos would lose to the hated Chiefs on a last second blocked field goal making him very sad. Now for the Slick Pick of the week @IrishHeart picked The Lions to go into Houston and beat The Texans. Jared Goff did everything he possibly could to try and lose that game. He threw not one but 5 interceptions,at the half The Texans are up by 16 and I’m thinking @IrishHeart is toast. I don’t know what they did,ate,drank,or what Coach Campbell said to them but man did they ever come roaring back scoring 19 unanswered points and shutting the Texans out and getting Irish Heart the win. Definitely one of the best games I’ve seen this year. I root for all you guys when I’m watching the games and checking scores. That what makes it fun ,but I’d be Lion(couldn’t resist) if I said I wasn’t rooting extra hard for @IrishHeart yesterday. There you have it. We’re down to Three… Stooges/Muskateers/Amigos. Football on Thursday,Sunday,Monday and that’s your wrap up for another crazy week in The NFL.

@Oaktavia check these shirts out. Local artists I saw at the Fells Pnt Festival a few weeks ago…

@Jett129 great write up again, and unbelievable Detroit comeback. A bit like Kansas, I think they have forgotten how to lose.
As an aside, I saw the Boomtown Rats in the late 70’s at my local punk club in Birmingham. -
@IrishHeart That’s a great aside,wasn’t sure if everyone would get the reference.
-
@Jett129 I’ll stick with the Lions to beat the Jags in the Big Cat Derby.

Thought this was pretty interesting,although I’m sure it does very little to ease the pain.https://x.com/danorlovsky7/status/1855984413760217314?s=46&t=Euh58q84NS2U0MpjPZE76g

@Jett129 yeah. Alex Forsyth was targeted by the Chiefs because they knew he was the weak link. He’s been beat multiple times in the past and your coaching staff was prepared to exploit that if need be…and sure as shit, the golden opportunity arose and we didn’t address it on our end. We even moved the ball to the right hash mark putting extra pressure on Alex Forsyth. That is 100% on our coaches.
-
@Jett129 that’s a really interesting analysis of what happened. I was disappointed for the Broncos, but you have to hand it to the Chiefs special teams ( no pun intended).
-
@IrishHeart It was a good pun though
-
@goosehd haha, although I’m trying to be sensitive to @Mizmazzle at this difficult time!
-
It kind of reminds me of when the Seahawks were in the Super Bowl on the one yard line and all they had to do was hand the ball to Marshawn Lynch. They passed,Malcom Butler intercepted,and the rest is history. After the game he said they practiced when the Seahawks were in that formation it meant that they were going to pass. So many games in the NFL come down to one or two plays.
-
Week 11 of the NFL season kicks off tonight with a big time division rivalry,as The Eagles ,at home, face off against The Commanders. None of our 3 remaining prognosticators are on that game but…@Mizmazzle is looking for The Broncos to bounce back against The Falcons,@Twistlock needs the 49ers to be victorious over The Seahawks to keep his streak going,and @IrishHeart is looking for The Lions to beat The Jaguars in a game he has dubbed The Big Cat Derby. As usual, good luck to all. See ya Monday.
