Beast tight end of New England, Rob Gronkowski is expected to suit up and have some limited playing time this Sunday against the Dolphins. The Patriots play at home this week which will put an end to the regular season. What a hell of a year!
Chicago Bears' Matt Forte apparently plans on playing through some ankle pain Sunday. Forte has managed to sprain his ankle three different times this season. Its a critical to the Bears that they win against Matt Stafford and the Lions. He doesn't really have a choice. I think its a horrible idea but i'm not a Bears fan so i don't really care if he manages to do more damage to his already hurt ankle.
The odds of Brian Urlacher seeing some playing time this Sunday against the Lions is doubtful. He was seen participating on the field for the first times since his hamstring incident.
A big game for Homo Romo and the Dallas Cowboys arises this Sunday as they take on bad ass Robert Griffin III and the Washington Redskins. I would really love to see the Redskins winning this one. RG3 deserves to be in the playoffs this year, his rookie year. He's been in beast mode since day one on the field. Love him! He's definitely going to go far.
Rex Ryan has named Dirty Sanchez as the starting quarterback this Sunday against Buffalo. Greg McElroy is apparently out do to an abdomen injury as well as a concussion. What do the Jets have to lose besides their dignity? Their chance of making playoffs this season is officially over. A lot of blame goes to the Dirty S and Coach Chubbs. I think they would have a better chance to win if they started Tim Tebow just once but that doesn't seem likely. No wonder Tebow wants traded. He's in with this crazy media circus clowns. There's no hope.
New England just so happens to have at twenty players listed as questionable Sunday. But gotta give it to Belichick for making his injury reports so concise. Miami is short a wide receiver as Davone Bess is out again due to his shoulder.
San Francisco 49er Mario Manningham was placed on the injured reserve yesterday. According to reports he has some torn ligaments in his knee. Their defensive tackle Smith is also doubtful for tomorrow's game against the Cardinals. Justin is expected to play next week however.
3rd string quarterback Thaddeus Lewis will start Sunday against the Steelers as Brandon Weeden and Colt McCoy are both out due to a shoulder injury.
Multiple reports are claiming that Cleveland is expected to fire not only coach Shumur but as well as the general manager Tom Heckert. The Browns are 9-22 after two seasons under Shurmur's coaching. I can see why they're being let go. The Browns are horrible. It's ironic because former owner of the Browns stated at the beginning of the season that ending the season 6-10 would be unacceptable. Right now, the Browns are at 5-10. Clearly they're about to be 5-11. There's just no way a third string quarterback is going to play like a badass against Rapistberger and the Steelers. (I almost typed the "Oilers" instead "Steelers" LOL) Cleveland just needs to just start fresh and build from the ground up, which shouldn't be hard considering they already suck ass.
Speaking of teams that suck, Philadelphia might not have Michael Vick next season. Reports state that he is not willing to renegotiate his contract. Not that I blame him. Renegotiating his contract would potentially mean a huge paycut. Apparently he is guaranteed three million dollars by February 6th. If released, he would be one of the first quarterbacks in the free-agency. Vick's not the best but he's managed to go to four Pro-bowls. Here's an interesting thought: What if Minnesota loses to Green Bay Sunday and the Vikings don't make it to playoffs and because of this, the Vikings cut quarterback Christian Ponder and picked up Michael Vick? Vick would end up have Adrian Peterson, Percy Harvin which could be a good thing for Vikings fans. I honestly do not see Andy Reid having a job as the coach of the Eagles next season. He doesn't seem to be the brightest bulb in a tanning bed.
Speaking of Andy Reid, Pro Football Talk claim that Reid just might so happen to be interested in the San Diego Chargers. "Black Monday" could be the end of Reid's time in Philly. The Chargers are expected to fire Norv Turner, so could Andy be a good candidate for the Chargers? Yeah, let's take a coach of a losing team and put him as head coach of another sucky team. Perfect solution. Not. Maybe its not the actual players that are losing the game but maybe the coaching of the players is what is destroying these teams. What do i know though? Not much. Reid and Turner are not the only head coaches that could potentially be reaching an end with their teams, Cardinals could potentially fire Ken Whisenhunt and who could ignore the speculation that Rex Ryan might be canned from the New York Jets as well.
New York Jets' coach, Rex Ryan is known for a few things but having winning seasons is not one of them. He started as head coach of the gangreen team in 2009. That same year, Ryan and the general manager Mike Tannenbaum drafted good ole Dirty Sanchez with the 5th overall pick in the draft. What good did that pick do them? Anyways, that's a whole other blog that would just be fucking boring as hell so i'll get back to my original thought. This is a fatass who constantly has proclaimed that he's going to lead his team to the Superbowl...Still hasn't happened and i don't think it ever will for Ryan. His job security has been in question since the Thanksgiving game this year against the New England Patriots having let Tim Tebow play with two broken ribs and there's just no sign of this issue going away anytime soon.
But I've rambled on for way too long so let me just end with my picks of the week.
My Picks for Week 17: Atlanta, Buffalo, Baltimore, Detroit, Houston, New Orleans, Eagles, Pittsburgh, Denver, Tennessee, Green Bay,
New England, San Diego, Seattle, San Fran, Washington
