So I had my new girlfriend with me for the first time to watch NFL football. It was going to be interesting to see how she would react with my family room in full Fantasy mode- Laptop, smartphone, office pool paperwork, etc. And watching the morning games on Sunday Ticket- all 8 on one channel. A Niner fan, she went in my closet and dug out my old Warner 13 jersey and put it on. Huge style points there. So I made her breakfast and mimosas to start things off. And she found it all hilarious and had a good time. This one may be a keeper...
Okay, so here goes.
-As the Rams offense foundered throughout the first half, I was thinking, "Same ol'. Fisher is a dinosaur." Kept waiting for the D to collapse under that barrage of passes Palmer was firing to all those weapons. Then Gurley got going and it was a different offense from there. Everything opened up after that. I was astonished to the point where I expected that last AZ drive would stall. Great win, and the Rams were even on the winning end of a blown call, Bennie's fumble. Now I truly believe this team has a chance to go up to Lambeau Field and give the Cheeseheads a run. Rodgers is lights out but their defense is mediocre. On the other hand, I can't get that little voice in the back of my head that says, yeah, 3-2, hit the bye, then drop a turd against Cleveland at home....
-Speaking of the Packers...I had both games on PIP, both for Ninerfan GF and keeping track of Rodgers, one of my Fantasy QBs. San Francisco did a great job, in my opinion, of slowing down Rodgers. It helped that Jones and Cobb were knocked out, but the Niners lined up the putt for the Rams.
Kaepernick- that guy is lost. Haven't seen a QB slip so far so fast since Bulger in his last two seasons with the Rams. My brother, a pretty good QB back in the day and a HS coach, was at the game and told me, "The guy has given up. He plays like he doesn't care." I think we're going to be facing Blaine Gabbert come Nov.1st- the Rams front will devour Kaepernick.
-Aaron Rodgers is a spider. He has eight eyes, or it seems, the way he sees the field and moves around in exactly the right place to give his receivers time to get open.
-How did the Rams lose to Washington? Bradford torched them in the second half despite a ridiculous time of possession gap.
-Four games isn't a good sample, but Atlanta looks really good. They have it all. Ditto the Bengals.
-Best line of the day, by the Fox announcer in AZ- "NFC West matchups used to be pillow fights..."
-London...those blokes are beginning to really enjoy their FOOTball...but still are puzzled by "...all that bloody stop n start..."
-Givens trade- A 7th in TWENTY-EIGHTEEN?
-Typical Fantasy flub...I benched Brees in favor of Dalton. Ouch. Won anyway.. Best Fantasy start I've ever had. 7-1 in two leagues.
Have a great week.
