Preseason Week 2

So before I state the scores from week 2 of the preseason, let me just state a few things that happened this week.

With the whole quarterback situation up for grabs in Denver, you would think that Mark Sanchez would do his absolute best to bring his A-game to every single game during preseason. I mean, the dude wants to be the starting quarterback, right? To be that, you have to prove that you deserve it, are the better of the options, and actually your team far into the season with succeeding. When Sanchez finally started playing on Saturday, Trevor Siemian started, he was 9 of 10. That looks good, right? But it's Sanchez, so there was an almost interception. But that's not the end of it. A pair of fumbles right before halftime and an awful start and the beginning of the third quarter followed suit. So where does this leave Mark Sanchez? Is he still in the lead for the starting quarterback position or will he lose out to Siemian or Lynch. Siemian had a pick six, Sanchez with the fumbles, and Lynch also with an interception but 2 touchdowns. I don't know. Regardless, I don't give a shit about the fucking Broncos or what they choose to do at the quarterback position. I honestly am not sure why I typed all that. LOL Here's to the Denver Broncos NOT making playoffs.

Next, I caught the ending of the Ravens and Colts while I was out having some drinks and I was able to catch Levine Sr., take Indianapolis' attempt for a two-point conversion back for two points for the Ravens. I was also able to catch McAfee's attempt for the 62-yard field goal come up no good. That was also very nice to watch. I know it's just preseason, but still. I enjoyed it.

Finally, my boys went on to beat the Chicago Bears 23-22. After Brandon Bolden fumbled after a near touchdown run, 2nd round draft pick Cyrus Jones intercepted Brian Hoyer. Can I just say that in the past two games that I have watched Cyrus Jones, I have been so impressed by him. He definitely was a smart pick up from the draft. Garoppolo completed 16 out of 21 attempts for 181 yards with 1 touchdown. Brady was set to start but not long before the game, he was downgraded to out and was seen in his dress clothes leaving the facility. Come to find out, he cut his finger with a pair of scissors doing something with the bottom of his cleats. This would have been the last time he would start at Gillette Stadium until October 16th, as he is having to serve his four-game suspension for the whole Deflategate mess. According to Ian Rapoport, we might not even see him in uniform until October because of the thumb thing....LOL LOL. Who knows?

Preseason Week 1

Finally, the 2016-2017 football season is finally upon us as we approach the end of week one of preseason. Only three more weeks of games that do not officially matter and then it all counts. I usually say that Preseason doesn't really matter, but this season is a little different for me and all Patriots fans. With Tom Brady's four-game suspension upheld, Jimmy Garoppolo needs all the practice that he can get before those first four games. I totally have faith in him and think that he can do it, I just think that after what I saw on Thursday night, he does still need these extra games as practice. He started off a little shaky but as the night went on, he seemed to have gotten a little bit more comfortable. As long as we get a 2-2 record, at least for the first four games, I'll be happy because once Brady comes back, he's going to light it up.

Here are the scores from Week One of Preseason, minus the Houston and San Francisco score as that game is currently at half time.

• Saints 22, Patriots 34
• Buccaneers 9, Eagles 17
• Redskins 17, Falcons 23
• Panthers 19, Ravens 22
• Jaguars 13, Jets 17
• Broncos 22, Bears 0 
• Dolphins 27, Giants 10
• Lions 30, Steelers 17
• Vikings 17, Bengals 16
• Browns 11, Packers 17
• Raiders 31, Cardinals 10
• Seahawks 17, Chiefs 16
• Colts 19, Bills 18
• Chargers 10, Titans 27
• Cowboys 24, Rams 28

Now, I know that it's preseason and these scores might not matter to some but I just cannot help but to laugh when I see the ending score to the Broncos and Bears game. 

Let's Go!!!

It all comes down to this one game. You either go on to the divisional round or you go home. New England has fought too damn hard this season to just go home after this game. With all the injuries and accusations New England has faced this entire season, it's time to shut the haters up and show them what you are all about. Let's do this boys!!!! Get this win and make this girl one hell of a happy girl!!!!

It's Happened Again...

So I am once again weeks behind in my postings, but what can I say? Life happens, and so does laziness.

Here's a little bit of what has happened so far in the weeks that I haven't posted.

• In order to secure the home-field advantage, all New England had to do was beat the Miami Dolphins. Easy enough, right?! NOPE. New England ended up losing that one 20-10. The possibility to still get home-field advantage was still possible, but in order to do that Denver would have had to lose to San Diego, which didn't happen. Denver secured home-field advantage, meaning if Kansas City loses to New England today and Pittsburgh loses to Denver, then the next game, we travel to Mile High Stadium. We all know how the last trip there ended. Fucking bullshit.
• The New York Jets were eliminated from the playoffs following a loss to Rex Ryan's Buffalo Bills who also did not make playoffs. Obviously that was gonna happen because Rex Ryan is never going to make it to the playoffs. 
• Houston ended up making to the Wildcard round only to lose to Kansas City last week 30-0. 
• Indianapolis Colts didn't even make it to playoffs after they were favored to be the Super Bowl favorites this year. How'd that go for ya, Colts fans?
• Chip Kelly was fired from his position with the Philadelphia Eagles. He's now the coach for the San Francisco 49ers.
• After talks of the Colts cutting ties with HC Chuck Pagano, they actually signed him to an extension.
• There's also the news about Chandler Jones and his reaction to synthetic marijuana. Gronk getting shots injected into his knee leading to everyone to question his status for today's game. Belichick's mysterious black eye which he has remained tight-lipped on how he got it. 
• Oh, Reggie Wayne's retiring. Like that's actually a surprise. After not playing for a year and being the age that he is, did he really think he'd be signed again and still be an outstanding player? Doubtful. The dude had his chance with New England and asked to be released because it was "too tough and not fun." 
• Also, for the Minnesota and Seattle game, NFL officials were going to switch out the balls at halftime due to deflation because of the cold weather that they were dealing with in Minnesota last week. So you're saying that cold weather does in fact aid in the deflation of footballs? Isn't that the same fucking theory used when New England was accused of deflating balls but oh no, that was not at all possible. Somebody had to intentionally do it? Bullshit.

Some questions I have:

• With Chip Kelly being the new 49ers coach, will Kaepernick get his starting position back or will he still be benched? Released? 
• With Hue Jackson coaching the Browns, will he keep the circus act Johnny Manziel or will he try to trade and release him?
• With Chandler Jones' synthetic marijuana incident happening a week before a big game, will that put him at odds with Belichick and Kraft?
• Is Rob Gronkowski's back going to be another big issue for him once again?
• How did Bill Belichick get his black eye that he showed up with earlier on in the week? Oh i know the answer to that. My right boob got him a good one the night before. Sorry Linda.
