I Have Clock Management Issues. NFL Week 4 Preview

Philadelphia Eagles coach Andy Reid along the sideline in Super Bowl XXXIX.
 


When I started this weekly NFL preview, I intended on uploading them at noon on Thursdays so I can get it out and share it on Reddit and Twitter. That has not happened at all. Week 1 I posted at around 5 before the pregame show. Week 2 was posted during the pregame show while Week 3 was just before the game began. Now here's Week 4 and I won't get it out til Sunday. Sure, it allowed me to account for the schedule changes of the Steelers-Titans (The NFL is gonna go in on their ass if they find out the Titans didn't follow protocol.) and Patriots-Chiefs games, but I still don't want to mismanage time like Eagles era Andy Reid. So for Week 5, I'm gonna manage the clock properly and start early on the preview so I will actually get it out on time for a change like Chiefs era Andy Reid.

THE GAMES


2020 NFL season week 4 Denver Broncos vs New York Jets

Denver Broncos   31
New York Jets        9
 
The Jets are the most suckinist bunch of sucks to ever suck. The Broncos should get their shit together and win this game.

2020 NFL season week 4 Baltimore Ravens vs Washington Football Team

Baltimore Ravens    38
Washington Skins   17
 
Dwayne Haskins' development into a star QB isn't going as planned. People expected him to improve from his promising rookie season but instead he's fucking up more including throwing three interceptions and fumbling the ball against the Browns. Ron Rivera showed patience with Cam Newton's mistakes in his rookie year with the Panthers but Dwayne isn't Cam. I don't feel they have the talent to be in win now mode so benching him could make things worse because his backups are not future stars. Carolina didn't want Kyle Allen and Alex Smith is a mentor so unless they plan on tanking this season, they rather as well stick with Haskins.

2020 NFL season week 4 Los Angeles Chargers vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Los Angeles Chargers       17
Tompa Bay Buccaneers     14
 
Just as expected, Justin Herbert's second start didn't go to well. Sure, he put up 330 yards and a TD but he also threw a interception and fumbled twice. That silenced those who wanted him to be the permanent starter but a win against the Bucs will start that noise back up again. 
 
2020 NFL season week 4 Seattle Seahawks vs Miami Dolphins

Seattle Seahawks      17
Miami Dolphins          29
 
Ryan Fitzpatrick led the Dolphins to a commanding win against the Jaguars while the Seahawks had a late scare vs the Cowboys. Can FitzMagic make it two in a row? Doubtful, but anything's possible with Harvard Man.

2020 NFL season week 4 Minnesota Vikings vs Houston Texans

Minnesota Vikings       0
Houston Texans         33
 
Speaking of not living up to expectations, the Texans just can't get it together and Deshaun Watson is running for his life taking big hits like this:


Bill O'Brien has got to go. His play calling is bad and his general managing is even worse. The fact that he gave away his best receiver, which forces Deshaun to scramble around opening himself up to more big hits, shows me he has no idea what he's doing. He's basically sabotaging the few talents he has left on this team!

 
2020 NFL season week 4 New Orleans Saints vs Detroit Lions

New Orleans Saints    37
Detroit Lions                 0
 
I talked shit about the simulator choosing the Lions to win last week against the Cardinals. But they actually came through beating them 26-23 with a last second field goal by Matt Prater.


Don't expect that type of success when the Saints come marching in.

2020 NFL season week 4 Cleveland Browns vs Dallas Cowboys

Cleveland Browns   44
Dallas Cowboys       24
 
Once again, the NFC East is lackluster as no one has a winning record in this division. People tend to overreact to situations like this by saying the league should be contracted/expanded, divisions/conferences realigned, move to promotion/relegation, etc. Of course, these people are idiots. The NFL is the only sports league with actual parity where any team can win at anytime vs anyone. And because of that, there are ebbs and flows in how strong each division is.

People said the same about the NFC West and NFC South about how those divisions suck and should be erased. Remember how the 2010 Seahawks became the first team to get in the playoffs with a losing record by winning their division at 7-9? People were so pissed off they got in they demanded the NFL change to a conferenceless league where teams make the playoffs purely on record (Thank God they didn't). Then they went on to beat the heavily favored defending Super Bowl champion Saints in the Wildcard round.


The point I'm making is, it's Any Giving Sunday in the NFL and it doesn't matter who's on your team. If you don't give it your all, you will lose like the Cowboys here regardless of the talent on your team. Plus, any team in this division can go on a run and make some noise in the playoffs.

 
2020 NFL season week 4 Jacksonville Jaguars vs Cincinnati Bengals

Jacksonville Jaguars   10
Cincinnati Bengals       34
 
Well, at least Joe Burrow didn't lose last week at Philly but he also didn't win either with the game ending with a 23 all tie. Maybe he will have better luck vs the Jags.

2020 NFL season week 4 Indianapolis Colts vs Chicago Bears

Indianapolis Colts   38
Chicago Bears         20
 
I simulated this game before Big Dick Nick was named starter so if Big Dick Energy blows its load all over the Colts, don't blame me.

2020 NFL season week 4 Arizona Cardinals vs Carolina Panthers

Arizona Cardinals     35
Carolina Panthers     19
 
When you throw three interceptions, good luck with winning that game if you don't have that many star players to cover for your mistakes. That's something Kyler Murray will try to avoid this week when throwing to DeAndre Hopkins at Carolina.

2020 NFL season week 4 New York Giants vs Los Angeles Rams

NY Giants   27
LA Rams    26
 
Ram fans are mad about that late passing interference call that cost them last week against the Bills. Imagine how pissed they would be if they lost to New Jersey's other hapless team. 

2020 NFL season week 4 Buffalo Bills vs Las Vegas Raiders

Buffalo Bills               14
Las Vegas Raiders    48
 
As for the Raiders, they look to rebound this week by beating New York's only football team.

2020 NFL season week 4 New England Patriots vs Kansas City Chiefs

New England Patriots     30
Kansas City Chiefs         26
 
LATE BREAKING NEWS!!! Cam Newton (and XFL 2020 star/Chiefs practice squadder Jordan Ta'amu) has the coronavirus so this game got moved to Monday!

2020 NFL season week 4 Philadelphia Eagles vs San Francisco 49ers

Philadelphia Eagles      16
San Francisco 49ers     31
 
It's Next Man Up in the NFL so no one will feel sorry for you if your team comes down with a rash of injuries. So it's nice to see the 49ers make due with the situation they're in getting a win vs the Giants last week and probably getting another one against the winless Eagles this week.

2020 NFL season week 4 Atlanta Falcons vs Green Bay Packers

Atlanta Falcons          28
Green Bay Packers    54

The Falcons did it AGAIN! For the second straight week they pissed away a double digit lead to lose the game at the end!!

Chicago Bears vs Atlanta Falcons score bug
YOU BLEW IT!


For the second straight week they had a 99% win probability only to pull a Hillary Clinton and CHOKE away a guaranteed victory!!!

Atlanta Falcons 99% winning possiblity
THE FALCONS ARE NOT TO BE TRUSTED



This team DESERVES to be curbstomped on national television in their MNF matchup with the Packers. Afterwards, they should use those disinfectant drones on the team to kill the Chokervirus that's covered all over their bodies.

Disinfecting drone used by the Atlanta Falcons to clean Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
They should spray the locker room for Chokid-16



2020 NFL season week 4 Pittsburgh Steelers vs Tennessee Titans

Pittsburgh Steelers   Postponed
Tennessee Titans      To Week 7

16 people on the Titans (8 players and personnel members) been infected with the coronavirus so this game was moved to Week 7 giving both teams a bye week. It also meant the Steelers game with the Ravens was moved to Week 8 as well. There's gonna be more postponed games in the future so it's a good thing these owners own their own stadiums because it's likely the playoffs (if they get that far) are gonna be pushed back some weeks to give teams time to test players who may have been in contact with an infected team member.


LAST WEEK 12-3-1
OVERALL      25-22-1
