Regular Season Week 17

Well, we’ve come to the last week of the regular season. I feel like the football season always goes by too fast.

I’m writing to you today from my parent’s house in NY State. I’d like to say it’s to attend the Giants last game of the season but it’s not. My Gramma, who was an amazing wonderful woman passed away this week. I thought about just skipping my blog this week but I decided it would give me a little bit of normalcy to this otherwise emotional rollercoaster…

I will try to be my witty, silly, bias self but I apologize if I’m not.

I did much better with my picks last week at 12-4… I’m glad to have bounced back but still a little bitter about the Giants HUGE crumble … but I digress. Lets recap week 16...

Falcons @ Lions 31-18

No surprise here.

Titans @ Packers 7-55

It looks like the Packers just barely pulled out that win…

Vikings @ Texans 23-6

Wow I did NOT see that one coming.

Rams @ Buccaneers 28-13

yup

Raiders @ Panthers 6-17

I’m glad to see the Panthers finishing their season out strong… I just wish the Giants could have done the same. Great, now I’m comparing the Giants to the Panthers and wishing the Giants were more like the Panthers… depressing.

Redskins @ Eagles 27-20

It was nice being able to watch football with my father last Sunday but it wasn’t nice watching the Eagles lose to the Redskins.

Bills @ Dolphins 10-24

At least my father raised me right… aka not a Bills fan.

Bengals @ Steelers 13-10

Dad and I were happy with the outcome of this game.

Patriots @ Jaguars 23-16

Blah blah blah Pats…

Colts @ Chiefs 20-13

Sometimes I wish I were still a Colts fan.

Saints @ Cowboys 34-31 OT

Thankfully the Saints got it done.

Chargers @ Jets 27-17

Yeah I didn’t even bother to right about this game last week. Whoops. So glad I’m not a Jets fan either.

Browns @ Broncos 12-34

Love me some Peyton

Giants @ Ravens 14-33

 Let me set the scene. If you are a long time reader you know that A#1) I LOVE the NY Giants; B#2) I have a great friend whom I spend a lot of weekends with who does NOT like football; And C#3) I make a weekly Sunday phone call to my father to talk football.  Well, this particular Sunday it seemed as if the stars had aligned. My parents were staying with me for Christmas and so was my best friend who hates football. We all went over to the Ginn’s house to watch this game and I was so excited to watch football with the ones I love. Scott even sat next to me and watched the game.

And then, the Giants played like SHIT!!!! (Sorry for the strong words but I feel like it was a pretty accurate statement)

We didn’t even watch the whole game. It was horrible. I don’t want to talk about it.

Bears @ Cardinals 28-13

As expected.

49ers @ Seahawks 13-42

After the Giants game we decided to go to Taco Mac to get some dinner and a beverage. We watched the first half of this game and all I can remember was that epic hit … and how I was a little happy that at least the 49ers played at the same caliber as the Giants.
