It's A Long Year....

Phil Sims said it best during the opening of the NFL season....I'm paraphrasing here, "the season is like five seasons in one". Meaning, you can't get to high or to low after a weekend of football. It can certainly seem depressing at times or like you may be making plans for Miami but as one of my fine fat ladies once told me "slow down there tiger." It's about improving week to week and getting hot at the right time. The only thing you are playing for today is to get into the big dance. Who would have predicted last year the Steelers playing the Cardinals for the Lombardi Trophy? Exactly no one to my count.

Last week the Seahawks offense looked unstoppable, this week they put up 3 points. Two weeks ago the 49ers were playoff hopefuls. Atlanta comes into town and blows them out of the water. They have yet to win a game outside of their division. Just a month ago the Ravens were the best team in football, three weeks later they have lost 3 in a row. Football is a 17 week journey. As a fan it's important to look at the whole body of work to see the true direction of your team.


I'd like to welcome back to earth Mr. Sanchez. Personally I think Rexy has forgotten that he has a rookie QB that probably played a little above his head the first few weeks. Remember nobody had any game tape on him....now these coaches are starting to discover his strengths and more importantly his weaknesses. These coaches are not dumb....well not all of them. They'll figure it out...it's like a big game of chess. The next move is Rexy's and Mr. Sanchez's.

Drew Brees is a beast. Are the Saints really this good? Only time will tell. One thing is for sure there offense if awesome but can there defense hold? I was actually starting to believe (at the beginning of the season) that this could be Sean's year to get on the hot seat. Not necessarily get fired but start coaching his way out of New Orleans....was I wrong.

The super fantasy league is off and running. I'm 4 and 2 (3rd place) after this weekend and I just set a league scoring record last night, most points in a weekend...ever. We've been doing this league for 13 years.
My starting lineup looked like this.
Drew Brees
Ray Rice
Thomas Jones
Bowe
Wes Welker
A. Bouldin
Pats Defense
Flex Amhad Bradshaw
Kicker Jeff Reed
Not only did I break the scoring record I am up 90 something points going into tonight's game.

This calls for a few vodka drinks tonight.
