The Shenoa Report Regular Season Week 3 '16

I had this report finished last night but before sending it out I felt the need to speak to what is going on in our country, most recently in Charlotte NC (where I called home for 8 years of my life), but it’s hard to type through tears. It is easy to hate and it is easy to pass judgment. It’s hard to love sometimes, especially when people “deserve it the least”. It’s also hard to speak positivity in the midst of this crooked and perverse nation.  I am deeply saddened by what is going on in America. Hate breeds hate. If we, as a country, are going to change, for the better, we need to start loving one another. Love will cast a broader circle than hate and love is felt deeper. Love your neighbor. Period. #prayforcharlotte

The Shenoa Report

September 22, 2016

Regular Season Week 3

The Giants won, I won in fantasy, and I went 10-6 on my picks. Week two was a good week! Let’s hope week three is just as good!

Let’s recap week two.

Jets @ Bills 37-31

It was the third quarter and the Bills had just pulled ahead so I thought it would be a good time to go to bed. This game was SLOPPY and the result of this loss cost the Bills Offensive Coordinator, Greg Roman his job. The sad thing is that the Bills have little glimmers of hope, much like the Jets, but this time the Jets finished on top. Too bad, so sad.

49ers @ Panthers 27-46

It’s no surprise that the Panthers won this game, it was a little surprising that it was actually a close game at one point, and I’m not talking about the beginning of the game. How’d you like that run-on sentence.

Cowboys @ Redskins 27-23

This game should’ve ended in a tie, and I’m a little mad that it didn’t. It was a close game and pretty evenly matched. Neither team looked really good, which is good news for the Giants.

Bengals @ Steelers 16-24

Big Ben was picked off twice but still managed to lead his team to victory. Booooooo.

Saints @ NY Giants 13-16

It’s safe to say that Football Shenoa came out in full force watching this intense close game. Have I mentioned that I HATE close Giants games? Any other football game can be close and quite fun to watch, but not the Giants. I want them to always have a commanding lead; otherwise it’s not good for my heart. I thought this game was going to be more like last year's shootout but the Giants defense got much better. (I would hope so, being that they spent quite a bit of money in the off season on the defense) The Giants’ only touchdown was a defensive one on a blocked field goal attempt.  Well done D you get the gold star for the day.  Although Eli didn’t have any touchdowns he also didn’t throw any interceptions. Gold star for #10. Cruz, who dropped a number of passes thrown his way redeemed himself by finally catching a ball inside the 5 to set up a game winning field goal. WOOOT WOOOT THE GMEN ARE 2-0!!!!!!!

Dolphins @ Patriots 24-31

The Patriots are now on their third string QB, as Jimmy Garoppolo was taken out of the game with a shoulder injury late in the 2^nd quarter. The Patriots still pulled off the win without Tom, without Gronk, and without Garoppolo… There is a joke in there somewhere, though Dolphin fans probably don’t think so.

Chiefs @ Texans 12-19

J.J. Watt is really back now and that was bad news for Alex Smith and the rest of the Chiefs.  Note score.

Titans @ Lions 16-15

Dean! This is why I don’t pick the Lions to win games! Frustrating. In other news, my cousin Abby is pretty stoked that the Lions lost (she’s a Titans fan). Also, Stafford was my QB in fantasy and that late interception didn’t help me.

Ravens @ Browns 25-20

The Browns were up 20-0 and I was looking at my picks for the week. I turned to Eric and said don’t worry, the Browns will blow it and the Ravens will win… and they did. Sorry Browns fans, at least the Cavs won a Championship. On the other hand, Ravens fans have got to be stoked, starting the season 2-0. That’s almost as many wins as they got all last season.

Seahawks  @ Rams 3-9

Well the Rams won their first home game, which was very shocking to me.  I don’t know what happened to the Seahawks, but I do know they are definitely missing Beast Mode (Marshawn Lynch a former player for those of you who don’t know football talk.)

Buccaneers @ Cardinals 7-40

Holy blowout batman, the Cardinals sure did bounce back after last week’s loss.

Jaguars @ Chargers 14-38

The Chargers dominated the Jags in this not even close matchup. Phillip Rivers had 4 touchdown passes. When he’s hot he’s hot. When he’s not… well you know the rest.

Falcons @ Raiders 35-28

The Raiders gave up 528 yards on defense against the Falcons and a total of 1,035 in the past two games. And you wonder why the Raiders can’t win games…. Ouch.

Colts @ Broncos 20-34

I’m so glad that I have the Broncos defense on my fantasy team, two defensive touchdowns and I benched Andrew Luck!  

Packers @ Vikings 14-17

We may have witnessed the worst night of Aaron Rodgers life in the NFL. At least the Vikings got their first win in their new home. Adrian Peterson sustained a knee injury that will keep him out of the game for 3-4 months, this is not good news for the Vikings.

Eagles @ Bears 29-14

Da Bears let me down. Jay Cutler hurt his thumb. And the Eagles won.
