On one hand, the Saints aren't playing so it feels like a wasted weekend. On the other hand, I dont have to worry about having a heart attack and can relax a bit watching games that I have minimal investment in. So its a wash. I guess this weekend we can take a look at potential play off opponents, since I read that the NFC South was, "the Saints' to lose". So that's pretty cool.
Teams of interest this weekend:
The Buffalo Bills - Fitzpatrick is my back up QB so thats really why I care about this team. Also, they were doing pretty well in the beginning of the season and now I feel like they've floundered a little bit. This is the same guy that wears his wedding ring while playing football. I know that as a female I'm supposed to find this endearing, but I find it stupid and if I were his spouse I'd yell at him because he's essentially putting their financial stability in jeopardy if he breaks his finger which wearing a ring while playing a contact sport is more likely to do. And thats more jeopardy than if he just took his ring off for two hours while he was running around with a bunch of dudes, risking that some chick would see him on TV and be looking for a ring on his finger being like, "I mean, I didn't see a ring so I'm totally going to try and hit that". Ridiculous.
Redskins/Cowboys - This is a divisional game so its interesting. Plus I'm in/from DC so its double interesting because I dont even have to watch the game but just monitor my Facebook feed and get more updates on the game than if I were actually watching the game. The Redskins have this amazing power over their fans to bring them to such heights only to let them down so amazingly. I blame a lot of it on Dan Snyder, the owner. But a lot of it has to do with the team itself. The skins are plagued with injuries to its key players because their key players were their only players and so they got hurt. Its terrible. The Cowboys are the team that people love to hate. I don't really care for them one way or the other, but I super hate Jerry Jones. What he did to those Green Bay fans during the superbowl is unforgiveable (For reference, they sold more seats than they had, got some pull out chairs, but then Dallas had that major snow, and I guess Jer thought the snow would melt, it didnt, and so he was like ooh my badskies you guys did travel hundreds of miles but you cant come in.)
Kansas City/Patriots - Im interested in this game because while one would think its going to be a blowout for the Pats, the Chiefs aren't necessarily a bad team. They havent been great the past few games though thats true. I hope Brady has Gronkowski to get some TD's because I'm going up against #2 in my fantasy team and we have the same record so I need to beat her in order to maintain my top spot. I'm doubtful it'll happen though, I was very unprepared for this weekend's matchup. Hopefully Eli will have a terrible game.
Giants/Philly - I hate Michael Vick, I really do, so I hope he loses all the time. But I also really need the Giants to do poorly. So I'm conflicted over this game. If there was some way for both of these teams to do badly, I would be quite elated. So that's all I have to say about that.
Alright well it's game time! Rest up my dear Saints, have a good weekend and a happy Thanksgiving! Bless you boys and Geaux Saints!
