NFL 2023

 

 I swear, if I have to watch that Tom Brady piece once more, you'll hear my scream in Newcastle.  

Green Bay have officially become Detroit's b#@ch.

Minnesota have reverted back to reality where they have used up all their luck last season and they are now losing the close ones, as expected.

And Chicago, uuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, what do we say, The Bears is the Bears.

Detroit are good now (realistically they should be 4-0 after the defense's bad last quarter against Seattle), but if their defense can limit the average opposition defenses to 17 points they will be improving and they will be winning at least 10 games this season.

Payton may wish he stayed on that couch.

 Felt for Wilson. Made one vital mistake, but generally played well. 

  

By taking a knee as Mahomes did the clock stopped and then the Chiefs were able to run out the clock as the Jets had used all their time outs.

 Hypocritical owner, rubbish coach, ordinary QB...and their wins have been gifted by poor opposition. 

 Forty-niners looking very solid. How McCaffery stood up after having his head nearly removed in a double tackle...I'll never know. Gutsy little guy.

   

1. Seriously how does Baltimore's secondary drop 11 catches and three which were directly responsible for dropping points. What ever voodoo bullshyte juju powder Mike Tomlin has can I please get some to spread on my lotto number entry form. The Ravens should have won that game by at least 14 points, so that makes it two divisional games that the Steelers have won in the first five weeks (the Browns were defeated by TJ Watt).  

2. Can Tennessee please workout how to make the good Ryan Tannehill actually pass the ball as well as he has shown he can.  

3. Howbout d'em Cowboys? That 49ers performance was one of the most dominant disposals of a supposed contender I have seen for a while. Plenty of work to go for McCarthy and Dak, and good luck with that Jerry Boy.

4. The Jags and Bills did not showcase the sport with a very dour unattractive match in London.

5. Washington win the LOLCOW of the week award by turning from a team that hung with the Eagles, to losing to a terrible team who is looking to tank for the number one draft selection next year.

6. We can officially say that Bill Belichick has lost any mojo he had and it might be time for him to move on at least from the GM position as his recruitment and decisions off field also are starting to look poor.

7. Except for San Fran no team looked a genuine Superbowl winner this week. The Eagles remained undefeated but they were made to work for it by a Rams team which looks like they might be a wild card chance.

MVP Award Week 5: JaMarr Chase was back to his receiving best, David Montgomery was awesome as the Lions continued to utilise their running game, but for me this week belongs to one man, a man who has been de4scribed as irrelevant, a man who has been told he is good because of the weapons he has, a man who has been told he is good because of the offensive system he is in and a man who has remained undefeated, and who has handled the naysayers as classy as any player I have ever seen. That man is Brock Purdy. All the so called media experts say that he is not in the top ten QB's. They say all of the above he is good because of McAffery or Kittle or Samuel or Shannahan or the water boy or the guy who operates the scoreboard, and you want to know something, those experts can shove their expert opinions as far up their a#@holes because it is all BS! He has not lost a game he has finished. he has a good passing game both decision making and execution. He can move in the pocket. He adds a threat to the offense which makes the defensive line have to make a decision about what they target, the o-line to shut down the running game or the QB to shutdown the passing game. For me the only stat for a QB that matters is wins and losses (look at Kirk Cousins this season. He is playing as good statistically as he ever has but the team is 1-4). Unfortunately Purdy will never win a MVP award for a season while he is at SanFran but he should be near the top of the list after week 5.

Best Team Award: While SanFran is the obvious choice and well deserving, I have to say that for me Detroit was awesome. Now, they were playing a team on a huge tank season, but the reason they are the team award winner this week is that they went in to that game as a heavy favorite. They had been told all week that basically they just had to turn up and win, just like Washington would have been hearing. Yet the Dan Campbell team showed me with this win that they do not care who they play, they do not care what record their opponent has they do care about what is happening with other tams especially in their own division, that they are going to go out every week and do their job and perform to their best. That was a very significant attitude showcase for me just like last seasons final match at Lambaugh where they showed the Packers what life without Rodgers may be, even with Rodgers still there. So for me the Lions showed me with that attitude in that win over the Panters that they are genuine NFC Championship contenders.
