Week 1 early games went to the apex predators... Eagles have always been superior to falcons. Birds of prey? Pray for the Falcons this season maybe. They couldn't catch a cold today. The vikings have a lot of experience showing up unexpectedly and pillaging folks and they had a good go. Still, when you raid a hut and there's a tiger inside... savage ending. Lions. Kings of the jungle. Niners, feisty old timers with pick axes. The lions showed their pride but the top of the food chain still belongs to the folks with opposable thumbs. Jaguars. Fierce predators. Also endangered. Texans like shooting things. Someone call PETA. Colts are horses. They run fast but eat grass. Seahawks pooped all over them. I expect the Colts will clean up and be back but who knows...maybe they'll be ridden hard and domesticated this year. LA shocked the WFT. People and electricity don't mix. Jets should make short work of Panthers but when your jet is on the ground being repaired your ground crew gets mauled. You love to see it! Titans. Earth pounding giants capable of challenging the gods. Cardinals. Small red birds. Only thing is, Titans are mythical. They don't exist. Birdies win. Late games TBC....
The late slot games were an odd bunch and not particularly politically correct... The Redskins might have lost their name but in a sort of irony the most bland, horribly named team, with the worst logo - the Dirty Oranges... I mean, Browns - got handled by the mighty Chiefs. They put up a fight but ended up a dirty smear across Arrowhead Stadium. Earlier on Sunday one team of horsies got pooped on by the Seahawks, but not the Broncos. Like the Cardinals they should have been squished by a colossal power but the Giants', just like the Titans', were more myth than might. After a three quarter stampede in MetLife the Broncos have galloped off leaving the Giants looking like fairies. Bears should always destroy rams right? Well, all I can say is that winter might have come early and Chicago was caught napping. An aggressive charge brought a battering against the Bears. The Bears should probably just let Dalton sleep through the winter, since the young cub Justin Fields showed some spark, but for whatever reason the sleep-walking Dalton returned to surrender. Will the Bears make it out of their cave this year? Down in Louisiana mardi gras was in full flow. The Packers were invited but like a blue collar worker to has to work a Sunday shift all they could do was look on while everyone else had fun. It's a hard life for the Packers who get thrown to the Lions next week. Meanwhile, New Orleans will see what it's like to add Panther to a jambalaya. And last but not least for the Sunday late games, a big Mac was dressed up in red, white and blue. It might look Patriotic but we've seen what gets cooked in Belichick's kitchen and it stinks. The kid didn't have a choice where he was drafted, so it's not personal, but once all was said and done the Dolphins shut down the Patriots hard. The offense struggled a bit (because who doesn't feel like a fish out of water in Foxborough?) but Dolphins can be nasty creatures* and so, despite missing a few key pieces the pod, wearing friendly colours but moving with deadly intent, rolled on and New England were done for. So long Patsies, I wouldn't go back into the water if I were you, oh and... thanks for all the fish. Now, let's see what you have to do to drown some buffalo. * Link.
