“REACTING TO A FOOTBALL WEEKEND”
==========

CHARGERS-FALCONS..Not sure what was worse-the Chargers battered offense, the play-calling by the suddenly mediocre Falcons…Atlanta QB-Kirk Cousins’ awful decisions..or just the overall tone of the game.  The Chargers went 10-drives without a TD.  The Falcons QB threw picks in the end zone, the 24, 36-38.  His kicker missed a field goal.  The Bolts now have no run game, and Ladd McConkey has both knee and shoulder issues, and JK Dobbins is gone go to the IR list.  Hard to say the Chargers are (8-4) and in trouble, but they are not the same team that started (6-3).

EAGLES-RAVENS…Lost in all the hype about Lamar-vs-Jalen…Henry-vs-Barkley…and coach vs coach was the fact these defenses could slug it out and slow the offenses down, and did.  Philly looks complete.  Hard to believe the Ravens have 5-losses.

RAIDERS NATION..How deplorable the end of game theatre, the botched snap, the failure to go for a field goal earlier that would have given them a win a snap earlier.  Wasted a 340Y-passing day from QB-Aiden O’Connell against the Chiefs, who continue to be unimpressive despite an (11-1) record.

BILLS-49ers..Tough enough to go face Josh Allen and Buffalo at Highmark Stadium, but San Francisco had to also play the weatherman in the December-Sunday night game.  Took them 11-hours to clear more than 2-feet of snow off the field and some of the seats and it started snowing hard at kickoff.  Bills Mafia showed up with its beers.  So did Brock Purdy-Christian McCaffrey and the Niners.  Throw the game plans out the window.  Awful picture McCaffrey injuring his knee early in the game.

STEELERS-BENGALS..Russell Wilson and Blitzburgh are now (9-3).  Joe Burrow’s team is (4-8).  Organizations win games.  The same leadership loses games, as Joe Burrow is finding out wasting his career away surrounded by alot of listless roster talent.  Wilson-Mike Tomlin-Arthur Smith-team chemistry.  Quite a job the Pittsburgh front office has done.

SEAHAWKS-JETS..Imagine a 290-pound DT going 92-yards with a pick six, but Leonard Williams did that for Seattle against his former team.  Imagine an Aaron Rodgers team being (3-9).  Sure does look like Rodgers career is ending like Brett Favre’s did after they both left Green Bay.

MINNESOTA-ARIZONA..Sam Darnold saves the Vikings, who are now (10-2) though it sure looks like he will be leaving at the end of the season as a free agent with Daniel Jones signing.  Arizona, the road trips are catching up to them.

CHICAGO-MIAMI..Tua gets them another gritty win.  Matt Eberfluss gets fired after a (14-32) record, the poor handling of Caleb Williams and the firing of the last two offensive coordinators, all that plus bad clock management week by week.

BROWNS-DENVER..QBs going in opposite directions in Monday night’s game.  Bo Nix-hot.  Jameis Winston wants to stay with the Browns.  Cleveland cannot find a way to get rid of Deshaun Watson.

AZTECS..Coach Sean Lewis keeps saying “I didn’t do a good enough job”.  Okay by me if he wants to ‘fall on his sword’ but by saying that weekend after weekend, fans-alums now say ‘Why should we retain you’.

USC..Lincoln Riley (6-6) season.  No run game.  Up and down wide receivers.  Not much defense yet.  Not what we thought.  Oh by the way, Notre Dame took interceptions back 99-and-100 yards on back to back series late in the Saturday Irish win at the LA Coliseum.

UCLA..A mountain of athletic department debt (16.7M)..an AD with an extension…a football team that is celebrating beating Fresno State, so their resume would say (5-7).  Bruins-not what they used to be.

OHIO STATE-MICHIGAN…Awful home loss to a 23-point underdog, even worse the player fights after the game after the flag plant incident at midfield.  The worst, Ryan Day walking off the field doing nothing to try and get his team off the field during the height of the brawl.  Oh by the way, OSU-four losses in a row to the Team up North.

ILL WILL..The fight for the Old Oaken Bucket, Indiana-Purdue wound up a (66-0) Hoosier trashing of the Boilermakers.  Bothered by the fact IU-coach Curt Cignetti had his 6-TD Quarterback Nathan Rourke in the game with 2-minutes left with a (582-87Y) edge in offense-going for more scores.

BAD BLOOD..Post game celebrations led to issues in the Florida-FSU game..North Carolina-NC State.  Did not happen in Texas-Texas AM-because Steve Sarkisian ran to midfield and hauled his players off the field.

SMALL COLLEGE..Lost in all the big games this weekend was the fact the small college playoffs began in 1AA-Division II and III.  The storyline of that weekend, was Illinois State going on the road to win against SE Missouri State, whose QB Pax Delaurent threw for (567Y-4TD) but he threw 5-interceptions and lost.  Ferris State scored 78-points in their win in the Division II playoffs.  Division III-Linfield-Oregon scored 63 in their win.

UP NEXT..Bring on the Conference championships, then the final College Polls, the arguments and then the playoffs.  Interesting times ahead.
