First, let me get this out the way……
RAIDER NATION……You didn’t even give Antonio Pierce (AP) a freakin’ chance…..the coach before him….a year and a half…..the one before him…..almost two years…..and the only reason you let him go was…..because of some old homophobic internet rant….but Pierce?…..you knew the team was crap…..you knew the offensive line needed improvement…..and yeah, for years we needed a QB…..so he’s hired to perform an impossible miracle?…..and after one year you kicked him to the curb….Dan Campbell of the Detroit Lions….his first year was in the toilet….but the organization believed in him…..and look where they are now…..Mark Davis…..you screwed AP…..and if Tom Brady had anything to do with it….I’ll hate him even more……how many White coaches…..yeah, I added the race thing……have coached many losing seasons before getting fired?…..and two Black coaches after having one losing season…..are one and done?…..Maxx Crosby said “HE” wanted AP to be the coach of the Raiders…..and now he’s not too happy about that move…..and if we lose Maxx…..I’m done with the organization…..7 different coaches in 13 years…..and you get rid of the one the team liked……really?……now….
SCHEDULE…..2 games on Monday Night Football….3 on a Saturday….and a team playing 3 games….in 11 days?…..who in the hell came up with these dumb ideas?
BLING….Why?….why would you wear a gold or what looks like a diamond necklace while you play?….you want the light to reflect off it and blind a player?….Jerry Jones came up with a better idea…..build a stadium that blinds everyone…..including his your players.
WEEK 13…..That was the worst week of the entire season….all of the games were boring…..even the Eagles/Ravens game.
WEEK 14…..It finally seemed like the defense was allowed to hit…..and people were getting popped….and still the NFL made tackling in tackle football….a 15-yard penalty…..so is that why it’s now fashionable…..to bump them and see if they go down?
WEEK 18…..It seemed like the commentators were more interested in how much bonus money a player would make….instead of focusing on the game…..and speaking of……
COMMENTATORS……TV stations need to come up with an idea.….where, if you don’t want to listen to their unnecessary rants….you can “mute” them and still listen to the stadium sounds because….Chris Collingsworth sounds like he’s sucking on a bucket of hillbilly hooch through a straw….and Tony Romo, Tiki Barber and Tom Brady….. “NO!!”
ILLEGAL SHIFT….Get rid of this one….and add the Canadian Football League rule….where a player can be in motion before the ball is snapped and start running down the field…..why not?….you changed the kickoff rule and that was a good move.
EQUIPMENT…..Are you surprised there are so many injuries….early in the season?….the shoulder pads….I saw better pad on jackets back in the ‘80s…..knee pads don’t even exist….thigh pads….my potholders in the kitchen are bigger…..injuries run rampant now….if you make it through the season….injury-free…..you should receive a million bucks…..my momma’s apron has more protection.
TARGETING…..It’s funny how not one running back was penalized for targeting….when they lead with their helmet.
OVERTIME….Play the entire quarter out….it’s only fair.
TAUNTING…..They need to bring that back and allow it….talking shit is part of the game….every game…..for all I know….they probably talk smack in Cricket…..and if you can’t back it up…..then the player who burned you…..can talk shit……and now we come to the……
SAQUON BARKLEY….Just give him the Most Valuable Player award….and stop the discussion…..I was hoping he would play in the Eagles last game against the NY Giants…..him setting a new rushing record….in Giant Stadium…..would’ve been the perfect “finger” to give them…..because they traded him…..his jumping over a defensive player “backwards”….was the ultimate “Juke-Olé” move.
KANSAS CITY “CHEATS”…..And the refs didn’t even bother to hide it this season…..when a flag was thrown….why did it take “FIVE” refs to come up with a call….9 times out of 10 in their favor?…..#74 should receive the MVP….for being the “Best player to rarely be called for holding or false starts”……let’s admit it….their record should’ve been….13-5….word on the street is saying….the “Cheats” threw their last game against the Broncos…..so that the Bengals wouldn’t make the playoff …..therefore cancelling any chance they might have to play them…..knowing this team and how much the league lets them get away with shit….you could make a good point….BUT…..why would you play your best players….when you’re going into the playoff stage?…..why would “ANY” team risk their top players being hurt…..playing a team with a record of….2-and you suck record?…..BUT….it is still suspicious for the #1 team in the league….to get blown away like that….38-zip…..and not score a touchdown or kick a field goal…..so yeah, I’ll go with the “Cheats”….cheating.
SO….For me personally…..that was the worst season I’ve watched in decades….and to keep up the consistency of play…..the refs topped their record of bad calls this year…..besides all the great runs…..spectacular catches by receivers….amazing upsets…..punt returns…..the season left us with…..
THE CUTEST PLAYER OF THE YEAR….365-pound Baltimore Ravens defensive tackle…..Michael Pierce….dropped back in coverage….and snagged an interception…..and jumped around smiling like a happy 4-year-old on Christmas….and the bench went crazy….let’s see what….
THE WILDCARD GAMES….will bring us this weekend….besides two games on Saturday….and three on Sunday……one more thing….
DOMES STADIUMS….Should be a requirement….when you build a new stadium…..Buffalo, Philly, Green Bay…..give your loyal fans a break…..Giants/New York…..you should give your fans a break……because a dome ain’t gonna help.
