2011 NFL season

[phins]

So, basically I'm reduced to rooting for Pittsburgh and Baltimore and the AFC North and South to win lots of games. I'm rooting for KC tomorrow because Kansas City is a common opponent and Indy doesn't play San Diego and Miami did. I'm rooting for Carolina to win games because they play the Colts.

This is pathetic. My NFL fandom is pathetic. Two weeks in a row the team I put my crazy passionate fandom behind had a double digit lead in the second half and lost. Now I'm resorting to figuring out which teams aren't common opponents and rooting for them to win games to push Indy's strength of schedule percentage up. Indy plays the Jags twice, so that means Indy has to either get a win, or guarantees Jax of at least four wins. Do you see how pathetic this is?

[expletive] it. I hate everyone and their fancy teams winning games and having fun. Screw them and their big game-winning smiles. [expletive] them all.

You mean like us Rams fans?

Am I a bad person because I find joy in Tim Tebow being as bad as he is?

It's puzzling, if nothing else.

Not puzzling to many of us.

“Can you believe ’15’?” one Detroit Lions defender asked after his team’s 45-10 immolation of Tebow and the Denver Broncos. “Come on – that’s embarrassing. I mean, it’s a joke. We knew all week that if we brought any kind of defensive pressure, he couldn’t do anything. In the second half it got boring out there. We were like, ‘Come on – that’s your quarterback? Seriously?’ ”

Conspiracy theory out there that John Fox is putting him out there to show his wares so that he can sooner than later move on to a real QB.

From the same Yahoo article:

Yet it’s hard to imagine that Elway, one of the greatest quarterbacks in football history, saw anything he didn’t expect on Sunday. It was as if, by starting Tebow, he said to the 74,977 fans at Mile High, “You wanted this guy? OK, then … Heeeerrrree’s Timmy!”

Wasn't Elway part of the team when they drafted the guy?

I think he came in right after the draft. I don't think McDaniels would have had as much juice if Elway was still there.
