Regular Season Week 4
Unless you’ve been living under a rock you have probably
heard some news about the NFL that does not concern football. It all started
last season when Colin Kaepernick did not stand for the National Anthem before football
games. This angered a lot of people, but only a few asked “why”? The reason, as
stated to NFL Media in August of 2016, was that he wanted to call attention to
the oppression of “black people and other people of color”. Fast forward to
this past week when President Trump had some strong words about people who take
a knee during the National Anthem. Saying, “Get that son of a bitch off the
field right now. Out. He’s fired. He’s fired.” After this was said there was a
whole new wave of kneeling, locking arms, praying, or not even coming onto the
field for the National Anthem on Sunday. Owners of teams stood or knelt with
their players to show solidarity. There are many different opinions out there.
I encourage you to read why these players and owners are exercising their right
to protest: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/25/opinion/colin-kaepernick-football-protests.html
I also encourage you to join in and HELP the cause. The Internet can be a wonderful thing if it is
used for good, to help people. Lastly, I urge you to read the article on how to
respect and disrespect our flag: http://www.military.com/flag-day/us-flag-code.html
“Thinking NFL players
are ‘protesting the flag’ is like thinking Rosa Parks was protesting public
transportation”. – Found on Instagram.
I’ll leave you with this, “And now these three remain:
faith, hope, and love; but the greatest of these is love. “ 1 Corinthians
13:13. We get so engulfed with backbiting and harsh words and actions, we need
more LOVE in the world and less of everything else.
Now, back to football.
I went 7-9 on my picks last week,
which is terrible in my opinion, and I am 2-1 and 1-2 in my fantasy leagues.
Let’s recap week three.
Rams @ 49ers 41-39
The Thursday night uniforms are atrocious. Back in the day
my dad and I would call the Rams the bumblebees because that’s what their
uniforms resembled. I didn’t think it would be a shoot out but I did pick the
Bumblebees to win and I’m glad I got at least one pick right this week.
Ravens @ Jaguars 7-44
Being that it was the Jags fifth appearance at Wembley and
the Ravens’ first, of course, I was picking the Jags. Man oh man, the Jags had
their way with the Ravens. It was so bad it was laughable and I sat there with
my cup of coffee, laughing and shaking my head all morning long.
Saints @ Panthers 34-13
The flippin’ Panthers better get their insert expletive
together fast! Cam gave me NEGATIVE points this week in fantasy and in doing so
I LOST. Shame on you Panthers, shame, shame, shame, shame! Top ranked defense,
my ass… And against the Saints?!?!?!
NY Giants @ Eagles 24-27
The Giants have moved to the next phase in disappointing
their fans. They went from flat out sucking, to major comeback filled with the
sense of confidence and hope, only to then lose in the final second of the
game. I guess it did take a 61 yard field goal by the Eagles to dash that hope
of a win; heck of a kick.
Broncos @ Bills 16-26
The Broncos are right up there in my fantasy bleep list
right under Cam Newton. Denver, you played Buffalo, you should also be ashamed
of yourselves. Another top ranked defense, HAH! But hey, Bills fans, it looks
like you finally have a real head coach.
Falcons @ Lions 30-26
I did not watch this game but I heard it was a doozy and
because of a mistake by a ref there was a clock runoff and the Lions lost the
game. This seems to happen to the Lions more than any other team. Sorry Detroit,
it also messed up my pick for this game.
Steelers @ Bears 17-23
And another pick I got wrong. Who would have thought that the
Bears would beat the Steelers? I can’t even name the Bears’ QB off the top of
my head. Maybe they are better off without Cutler.
Browns @ Colts 28-31
I have not learned my lesson yet, as I still picked the
Browns to win a game. This was the week it should of happened with all the
wonky upsets. They sure did make it a close game though.
Buccaneers @ Vikings 17-34
The Vikes second string QB got things done in a big way over
the Bucs. I didn’t see that coming either.
Texans @ Patriots 33-36
That’s it, I’m benching Cam and starting Texans rookie QB
Watson. If any rookie can keep pace in New England, that’s impressive and the
Texans almost upset Foxboro.
Dolphins @ Jets 6-20
What the what?! The Jets even got a win!??! I think that the
Giants and the Jets have actually switched teams - that would make more sense.
Seahawks @ Titans 27-33
The Titans did indeed pull it off; another pick wrong. Are
the Titans actually going to be good this year, or are the Seahawks going to be
bad?
Bengals @ Packers 24-27 OT
The Packers had to come from behind just to get to over time
to win the game. Football teams sure have changed.
Chiefs @ Chargers 24-10
At least the Chiefs are consistent.
Raiders @ Redskins 10-27
The Raiders also underwhelmed this weekend. I expected more
out of them.
Cowboys @ Cardinals 28-17
The Cardinals really should have won this game. They kept
Elliot in check and also held Bryant so he wasn’t a threat. Oh well.
