Well Week 17 of the NFL season sadly here. Always a sad time of the year for me because once bowl season is over and the Superbowl is over I will be in football with drawl for a few months. It's never an easy time for me.
Some random musings and thoughts going into today's games -
Go RGIII!! - I am rooting for RGIII to make a joke of the Dallas Cowgirls because the Giants need a Cowboys loss among other a few other things to have a chance to make it to the playoffs. If the Giants do not make it, I actually will not be that sad and will have no trouble rooting for RGIII and the Redskins in post-season play. The Giants have played like crap lately and the Redskins were my favorite team growing up
The Jets Circus - I have a feeling the Jets will be providing a very entertaining off season for us this year. Do Rex, Sparano and Tannenbaum get fired. Does Rex stay and the other 2 go? I feel like Tannenbaum is definitely out as the GM, maybe the will keep him in another capacity. Sparano was clearly the wrong choice as OC, the offense has never looked more confused or lifeless. Guess Schotty was not doing that bad of a job after all. Not sure if Rex goes because there are really not that many viable coaching options out there and who would want to take on the task of cleaning up the mess that is the Jets? I am guessing Sanchez will be back because who would want to trade for him and his big contract and the Jets do not really have the luxury of taking the large salary cap hit if they let him go. Thank God Tebow will be getting out of NY, he would be better off anywhere but with the Jets. Will be interesting to see how it all plays out.
Eagles - Reid is 99.9% out of there. Many believe he will end up in San Diego next year. Sad to see how this year panned out for him with all the great things he did while in Philly and the death of his son earlier this year. But, perhaps a fresh start is what he needs. Vick will also most likely be on his way out especially if it's true he does not want to restructure his large contract. I really don't think it's fair to place all the blame on him though, not sure anyone could perform effectively behind that porous O-Line. Hopefully that is the first thing the Eagles address this off season.
Lack of QB options - So many teams are in a dire QB situation, KC, Arizona, Jets, Bills, Eagles and Jacksonville. The problem is there are no really sure thing QB's in the draft this year, Barkley is good but not great and I don't think it helps him that his USC predecessors have not panned out that well in the NFL (Palmer, Leinart and Sanchez). Geno Smith is ok, maybe a decent backup at best. The only other decent QB's to trade for or sign in free agency will be maybe Alex Smith, unproven Matt Flynn, maybe Mike Vick, maybe Mark Sanchez, solid veteran Matt Moore and maybe David Garrard.
Tebow - Karma really is a bitch and I can't wait to see it rear it's ugly head on Rex and his cirlce of idiots at the Jets for completely tanking Tebow's career. I find it really interesting that Tebow, Rex and Sparano all have the same agent. Some sold Tebow a bunch of lies to get him to chose NYC of Jacksonville. I wonder come next season if they all have the same agent.
Chip Kelly - Stories have the amazingly talented offensive genius coach of Oregon landing in either Philly or Cleveland. If that is true my bet is on Philly, who in their right mind would chose Cleveland over Philly if given the choice.
Should be a fun weekend of football. Sorry for the short update but I have to head out to watch the Giants game.
Till next time,
Sassy
