NFL Weeks 7 & 8
I didn't post about the game last week because I was a bit heartbroken. With Tony Romo out due to a broken pinky I knew there was going to be trouble. The back up QB was Brad Johnson and the guy is a senior citizen. (just a little hint Wade - use a pick in next year's draft for a back up QB that isn't eligible for Medicare!) Needless to say they lost to the Rams. My only saving grace was that the Giants lost to the Browns and they lost bad. Made me feel a little better :)
Add to Romo's injury the loss of Roy Williams from defense who will be out for the rest of the season due to a broken forearm. Then there's running back Felix Jones who is out for a few games with a hamstring injury. What the hell is happening to my team?!? Romo is said to be returning after our bye week. I am doubting that only because we have the Giants next week and I know he'll want to play - hurt or not. And if he doesn't play we're screwed.
I wish someone could explain to me how a team that is literally overrun with talent - 13 Pro Bowlers - can be in the position that we are now. Whether you like my Boys or not you do have to admit they they are Superbowl material. They have been right on the brink for the last few years but they just haven't been able to win that one game that is essential to getting them all the way. No matter what they look like I am still saying that this is their year!
On to this week's game...Victory!!! I had to watch the game online which is no fun at all. I guess Johnson must have taken his geritol because he actually helped take the team to victory. I just hope that he heads back to the senior home - I mean bench - real soon. A 13 -9 win is still a win and I'll take it.
I think I am going to go watch the Giants-Steelers game and root for the Steelers ;) It's high time the Giants started their downward spiral.Labels: sports
