Week 11 is almost in the books. I write this a few hours before I plan to rush a few and poorly thought out “same game parlays” for Monday Night Football, while I sit on the toilet after dinner. So here are some thoughts: Are the Bills annoying? Now I know there’s really no reason to hate the Bills. Even if you’re a fan of an AFC East team, the Bills have done nothing to sour anyone’s mood. They spent a generation in the shitter and this current era of Buffalo football seems so likebale. They have everyone’s dad/uncle’s favourite football player in a franchise QB, a cornerback who literally came back from the dead, and a fanbase of tailgating supremos WWE-ing their way through tables. All of this seems like a recipe for a team everyone can’t help but love, right? You’d think. However, maybe the Bills likeability is starting to outgrow its welcome. Perhaps something about their perennial high hopes, mixed with the ever growing hubris of Bills Mafia now has me thinking: The Bills are annoying. Until the Wagon-Circlers can show us any different in the playoffs, all I want to believe is that this is an overrated group destined for failure. Yes, they just beat the Chiefs. Yes, pundits labelled this year as perhaps a transitional one after losing stars like Diggs to Houston, or Matt Milano to injury. But it’s November, and here comes the hype train again. I’m not buying it. Until this team makes the February Classic, the Bills are just your annoying little brother brimming with way too much confidence after a little-league homerun. 49ers blow it again. Perhaps Jake Moody should punch Deebo Samuel in the face after this one. 1 rush for -1 yards, and 4 catches for 22 yards. That’s a stat line that tells me two things. ONE – your QB doesn’t like you as much as you think he does (13 targets the last 2 weeks, compared to Jennings’ 22), and TWO – Where do you get off strutting your butt like that? Seattle has a bottom 5 pass defence, so it’s not like there’s any excuse of being lined up opposite to the Legion of Boom of yesteryear. Maybe it’s the Netflix money, or the two Super Bowl rin – oh wait. Regardless, the 49ers are 5-5 and have still have games against the Packers, Bills, and Lions. 8 losses is a very real possibility for this team, and that would be hilarious. Worthy of better footwork. Someone needs to tell Xavier Worthy how to make a sideline catch. Yesterday was another example of many this year where he has been wide open for a large gain, only to not get his feet in bounds. I originally typed “that’s some rookie-ass shit”, only to remember: he is a rookie. Still, no excuse for that in mid November. Maybe Nate Burleson is offering freelance services. Anthony Richardson deserves at least one flower. If someone told me a month ago that Anthony Richardson would be the one to strike the dagger into the heart of the Jets season and Aaron Rodgers fan everywhere – yes, “fan” singular – I would have said, “Who kidnapped Joe Flacco?”. But no, Flacco is back to backing up, and Tony Rich proved to his franchise why he’s worthy of a long look. Don’t look now, but the once unwatchable Colts have scored more 4th quarter points than anyone in the NFL. Could this team clinch the 7th seed? Probably not. They have the Lions next week, which will most likely put them at 5-7 and in win-out mode, but who knows – perhaps a Week 15 date with the Broncos will have some playoff energy. Label it the Peyton Manning Bowl. Best SNF so far. That Sunday Night football game was outrageous. The Chargers looked elite in the first half, only to Charger their way into another nail-biter. On the Bungles side of things, if Joe Burrow had a defence, we would literally be naming him the MVP frontrunner – seriously, he’s putting up Tom Brady numbers (3,028 yards, 27 TDs, 4 INTs). What started as an offensive clinic, turned into a “does no one want to win this game?” late in the fourth. Evan McPherson struggled and should probably check his shoulder for Deebo Samuel, while Justin Herbert turned in 7 straight incompletions. Enter: JK Dobbins, perhaps the best feel-good story of the year. The Chargers are for real. Yeah, I can’t believe it either. Everyone is so confident we’re going to see two of the Chiefs, Bills, or Ravens in the AFC title game. Wouldn’t it be hilarious if the Chargers were there instead?
