The word on the farm today is... Embarrassing.
It's got to be embarrassing if you're a fan of the Tennessee Titans or Washington Redskins right now. First off, how do you quit on your coach TEN MINUTES into the game? That second quarter that you let Tom Brady, Randy Moss, etc. have was completely embarrassing. To allow FIVE touchdown passes in one quarter says a lot about the character of your team, and it isn't very good. I'd like to officially be the first one to coin the Terrible Towel Curse on the Titans. They haven't won a game since they stomped on the towel in Pittsburgh. I haven't heard many people call for Jeff Fisher's head, but after that performance yesterday, I think his time might be coming to an end in Tennessee. That was just flat out embarrassing. Vince Young needs to be your starting quarterback NOW. Your season is over, it's time to see if this kid has what it takes to be a starting quarterback in the NFL. Maybe he can put a spark in this franchise that hasn't been seen all year.
And leave it to the Redskins to be the first team to lose to the Kansas City Chiefs. I think it's very telling that the management has yet to back Jim Zorn, and who can blame them. Their two wins were squeakers over teams (St. Louis, Carolina) who in themselves have major holes. Their loss to Kansas City is almost as inexplicable as the Titans loss. Zorn's another coach who is on the hot seat, and deserves to be. I can see them finishing 3-13 this year.
Was that Jets/Bills game embarrassing? It was a horrible display of offense by both teams. The only game I've seen worse was last week, when the Bills lost to Cleveland. So much for Mark Sanchez being the posterboy of the NFL. He has looked horrible now the last couple of weeks. Gimme Matt Ryan or Joe Flacco over Sanchez.
Tom Brady and Randy Moss just hooked up for another touchdown. Embarrassing.
How do the Eagles let JaMarcus Russell put up those good numbers? And then lose on top of it? Yeah, you guessed it. Embarrassing. Donovan McNabb under 50% passing, and JaMarcus around 60% for the game? Are we living in some sort of alternate universe? Bring me back to reality, PLEASE!
I don't know about you, but I am not looking forward to next Sunday's game in London. I am about as big a New England Patriots fan as you can get, but any time you have to fly across the ocean to play a game, it's going to be sloppy. At least the opponent can't get any better for the Patriots. They get the 0-6 Buccanneers. I think Tom Brady's already thrown three touchdown passes, two to Moss, one to Welker, and the plane hasn't even landed in London yet. I think the Hoodie is salivating over this one.
Now, onto tonight's matchup. It's do or die time for the San Diego Chargers. They need to prove they belong in the playoff discussion now, or Denver is running away with the division. The Broncos are looking really good right now and are clearly the class of the AFC West. This is San Diego's last stand. They lose here, they will never in my eyes be considered a valid Super Bowl contender. (On a side note, I never really did think of them as one anyway, they are a glorified 8-8 team every year because of the division they play in.) I don't see the Chargers winning, even at home. Broncos 27, Chargers 13.
Game Three of the ALCS is tonight as well as Game Four of the NLCS. I'm not going to get too much into these games, as I haven't had the opportunity yet to watch either of these series yet. I will say this, however. The Angels and Dodgers had better win tonight for either team to have a chance to get to the World Series. Oh, and Joe Torre, you might want to pitch around Ryan Howard. I hear he's pretty good. Same goes for you Mike Scioscia. I wouldn't be pitching to Alex Rodriguez right about now. He's dialed in, and that's a bad sign for anyone who is playing the Yankees. Yankees take a 3-0 lead tonight, and the Dodgers even up their series.
That is all from this side of the farm.
