NFL 2017-2018

[Reigns]

So we're two weeks in and I haven't heard anyone have a fit yet.  That just seems wrong somehow.  Any impressions?  Thoughts?  Opinions on Zeke Elliot, The Patriots, The Saints, or anything else you'd like to share?

My particular interest is The Steelers, of course.  I'm not thrilled about the start of the season despite the 2-0 record. Sure, it's better than playing fantastic and being 0-2, but the team just looked... flat.  Le'Veon Bell's absence from training camp was fantastically obvious, although he had a much better game in game 2 than 1.  It'll be interesting to see if he continues to improve and is back to his old self by game 3 or 4.  As for Antonio Brown....  *shakes head*  Yeah, that dude is a diva in front of the camera, but he's a ridiculously talented one, and one who works his ass off at practice, unlike most divas.  Ben's just the same as he always is. 

So NFL.  Go.

I'm a Jets fan.  I am waiting for next year.

At least they won yesterday.

Yeah, and I am a bit torn about it. 

What is the long term plan at QB?  Why are we starting a 38 year old journey man at QB?  One thing to have such a player as a backup.  But starting him?  I say the Jets should be starting Petty or (god help us) Hackenberg at QB.  Let's figure out if they have a future.  We are in rebuilding mode, in what way does McCown help with that?

I'm just holding out to see what happens when Tom Brady gets his 6th ring this season. Will he get a 6th finger grafted onto his hand for it, or will they just acknowledge his awesomeness by issuing him a Super Bowl bracelet instead? Maybe a full-blown royal crown?

My Bears beat the Steelers with a couple of my jackass Steeler friends in the stands, so this has been quite a great season already. Of course the Bears may not win another game, but that's another story for another time.

[Sssith]

I thought you were more concerned about the Vikings and Packers!

Who gives a crap about the mangy dogs that are the Steelers.

Dear Sssith and Dave,

Please feel free to screw yourself at great length, in your respective rectum-holes, with various and sundry instruments of death and ickyness.  Please allow me to suggest the tire iron, the chain saw, the samurai sword, the length of rusty pipe and the underage, herpes-ridden duck-billed platypus. 

Love always,

I knew this would effectively summon you out of the nether regions of the internet.

Bears going to the rookie QB which fans have been clamoring for, only to forget their clamoring and criticize why he was playing in a wasted season when he gets hurt in two weeks.

The Jets win again, destroying Sssith's dream of getting the #1 pick in the draft.  The Packers looked pretty good too (albeit against the Bears) without their top 2 OTs and losing their top 2 RBs.  Poor Bears.

I'm nothing if not predictable.

And now a third win.  My point however, was not so much about getting the top pick.  It is more about playing with a old QB who is not going to be around in a years time.  I want to see if either Petty or Hackenberg have the potential to be the QB of the future.  The Jets are not going to win the Superbowl.  So what is the point of winning games with a 38 year old QB?

On the positive side I am seeing huge improvements in how the Jets are being coached.  That is a huge deal.  We have a lot of new, young, players playing well.  That is a huge deal.  Our draft class seems to be a good one.  That is great news.

But until we have a QB we are going to be playing catch up.

[Sssith]

Well we won again.

And we probably should have won the game against the Pats.

Overall there are hopeful signs for the Jets.

But FRAAAAKKKK...we need a long term QB.
