Feels Bad Man. NFL Week 13 Preview

Man, Christian McCaffrey has worse luck than me at getting these blogs posted on time. He just came back from a hamstring injury and now he's gone for the year with a ankle issue. He's a dynamic player and earned that 4 yr/$64 million extension but he only played in 10 games these past two seasons.  That's what I call injury prone. But that's the case for most running backs. They go through the ringer and come out broken down in four or so years. Players like Adrian Peterson or Frank Gore who can have a long career at RB are a rare breed.

THE GAMES

Dallas Cowboys        38

New Orleans Saints  31

I hate that I didn't pay much attention to the Cowboys Thanksgiving game because I missed out on some good shit. Mainly Dallas' CB Kelvin Joseph scuffle with Las Vegas' S Roderic Teamer on punt return and Cowboys DT Trysten Hill hitting Raiders OL John Simpson after the game (He will only miss this game). But the main headline was the 28 combined flags for 276 yards, which is the most combined penalties and yardage for a Thanksgiving game since 1950. Cap it all off with Cowboys CB Anthony Brown getting his 4th passing interference penalty to put the Raiders in position to kick the game winning field goal (that was an adventure itself) and you got yourself a game that will be remembered for years as a factoid.

Now the Cowboys have to play a hobbled Saints team that went to shit since Jameis went down. Fresh off his 4 yr/$40 million contract, Taysom Hill starts at QB trying to get all the passing bonuses that could pay him $95 million. But he will be without RB Alvin Kamara along with both OTs Terron Armstead and Ryan Ramczyk. This can get NFL not showing the matchup ugly.

I keep getting these errors when I go back to the game. You can tell I was just winging it in the blog.

New York Giants   24

Miami Dolphins    17

I don't care they won. Neither the coaches nor the GM inspires enough confidence that they can turn things around. Like I said before, cut your losses and start over. The Giants are at a point where you're mad they won because nothing will change when they're playoff bound.

Indianapolis Colts   31

Houston Texans      24

In your weekly Deshaun Watson update, his lawyer is taking depositions from his 22 accusers. In other news, Colts LB Darius Leonard had "too much respect" to trash talk Tom Brady after punching the ball out of Chris Godwin's hands to force his 5th fumble of the season. I haven't been watching Hard Knocks but maybe I should since they're making a playoff push.

Minnesota Vikings   26

Detroit Lions            24

I don't know who I want to lose more, the Vikings so they can be rid of Mike Zimmer or the Kneebiters so they can be the first team with two winless seasons? Let's go Lions! GO 0-16-1! 

Philadelphia Eagles   31

New York Jets            14

I hope the Eagles don't end Jalen Hurts' career before it begins. He's been sacked 21 times and is nursing a ankle injury. Sure it could be worse, he could've been sacked 31 times like Justin Fields. At 5-7, I would say they have nothing else to play for and should start Uncle Rico so Justin can heal up for next season. But considering how inconsistent the Cowboys have gotten lately, they still have a reasonable chance at nabbing a wildcard spot.

Arizona Cardinals   16

Chicago Bears        24

Kyler Murray maybe, possibly, hopefully returns in this game and DeAndre Hopkins might be there with him. I'm not looking forward to Matt Nagy surviving another week as coach because like the Giants, no one here can convince me that they are on the right path towards success.

Los Angeles Chargers   24

Cincinnati Bengals         27

The Bengals WHOOP the Steelers ASS Sunday! Like, GODDAMN! Imagine how much more dominant the Bengals would be if Joe Burrow wasn't sacked 30 times so far! 

Tompa Bay Buccaneers   30

Atlanta Falcons                 20

RUN THE BALL! That's what I keep telling the Bucs. RUN THE BALL! They ran the ball entrusting "Super Bowl Lenny" to led them to the promise land after a rousing halftime speech and a 4 TD day, the Bucs got a hard fought victory over the Colts. run the ball! Run The Ball! RUN THE BALL! Also, Antonio Brown is suspended for three games. Whoops!

Jacksonville Jaguars   9

Los Angeles Rams        34

The Rams' superteam may not work but at least they're not the Jaguars whose season can be summed up by their mascot's botched stunt.

Washington Renegades  41

Las Vegas Raiders           17

Football Team may make some noise in the playoffs if they keep this up. Or maybe they beat Seattle because the Seahawks just stink. We will get a better idea after they face the team that beat their division leader in their home in front of millions this past Thanksgiving..

Baltimore Ravens      21

Pittsburgh Steelers   34

Man, Baltimore is lucky that the Browns is such a hot mess. Like, how do you get 4 picks and STILL lose? Lamar Jackson will bounce back from that bad performance. Just not here.

San Francisco 49ers   34

Seattle Seahawks        23

In news that even Stevie Wonder saw coming, the 49ers are planning to trade Jimmy G and start Trey Lance next year. It's for the best. No need to stick with someone who you don't want.

Denver Broncos        40

Kansas City Chiefs   20

So it looks like the Broncos are for sale because the children of late owner Pat Bowlen can't get along and run the team as one unit. I don't see the new owner moving the team but it will be interesting to see how invested the new owner is in winning instead of just doing the bare minimum to make money. Maybe John Elway should by the team if Bowlen's kids play nice.

New England Patriots   27

Buffalo Bills                   17

Hold on to your butts, the Pats are Back! Let the lord have mercy on the AFC!!!
