What have we learned?
What did we accomplished?
What on earth have we become?
In week 1 I made some bold predictions. Now, a lot of sports writers make these type of predictions but rarely will they look back at those statements to see how right (or wrong) they were.
Indianapolis will win, maybe, 4 games total.
Currently 6-6, they won't make the playoffs and that offensive line is still pretty bad. But they're fortunate to be in a terrible division.
Lamar Miller will finish the season as the best back in Football.
haha dang. Pretty wrong here. Lamar was great in yards but poor in scoring and then he hurt his shoulder. Still the best piece of offense on the Texans so not his fault? Not your fault Lamar.
Carolina will start the season 0-2 and the weight of the world crashes down on #1. We'll get to find out if Cam has matured or not at all since the Superbowl tantrum but I'm guessing he hasn't.
I actually UNDER estimated how far the panthers would fall this year. But I haven't enjoyed it any less. Officially a Newton hater.
David Johnson is good, but not nearly as good as everyone thinks. Remember Beanie Wells?
Well that's a big ol' Donald Trump "Wrong!" right there.
The Buccaneers, Raiders and Texans will be the surprise teams of the playoffs.
Swap Texans for Lions and this is spot on. You heard about the Raiders here first folks!
Jay Cutler will be playing for a different team next season. He won't give a shit.
This wasn't too much of a bold prediction so here's a new one, Jay Cutler will play for the Jets in 2017 and still won't give a shit.
Ryan Tannehill is slightly less Mediocre but Dolphins still go 7-9.
A soft schedule and Jay Ajayi already has them at 7 wins. However, next 4 games are Cardinals, @ Buffalo, @ NYJ and finishing with New England. Tannehill remains mediocre and I still think this is correct.
Adrian Peterson gets hurt. C'mon, he's 31! Remember Shaun Alexander?
Didn't even make it to week 3.
Romo will play at the end of the season. But this is his last ride in Dallas.
This could still be 100% correct, he'll get some snaps week 17 because....
Dallas wins maybe 6 games this season. Maybe.
....this prediction was 100% off and they'll have home field already locked up.
Ugh, with Dallas and New England as our most likely Superbowl its safe to say 2016 really has been a terrible year for everyone involved.
Now, lets do like we do every year and break down our playoffs in order of who I'd least like to see win it all all the way to who I'd most like to see win it all.
PERSON I LEAST WANT TO SEE WIN IT! Speedos and Nair: No surprise here. Shane's added a thick layer of collusion and under-handedness to this league that's never existed before. Suddenly I'm having to become the Rodger Goodell of this league, suspending Tom Brady and enforcing strict waiver wires policies because everyone's looking for an unfair edge. When he drafted his team I laughed at DeMarco Murray, expecting him to go down hard to injury. I was wrong about DeMarco but the rest of his team is falling apart quickly and hopefully it's enough to stifle his playoff run and his complaining. At least until next season.
Victorious Secrets: Back to back titles? Homie don't play that! Unless it's me of course. Kimmie's team has been all over the board but Zeke (whom she auto-drafted) has put the Dallas Cowboys on his back and carried them into the playoffs. Glitter farts will now hope he's hungry enough to keep it going for 3 more weeks.
It's a Hard Gronk Life: Sorry babe, but I can't have this. I can't go through the summer knowing you became the champ your first season whereas I have been the champ one season out of nine. I'm proud you made this far but time to lose babe.
Shock and Awe: As our President Elect and Great Leader has made clear, I can't Make America Great Again (#MAGA) and be nice to Mexicans. They don't go hand in hand. So enough is enough Casey, time to lose. I don't want to have to report you to one of the re-education camps coming to the US in 2017. Don't make me do that!
TDs and Beer: Great guy, Great team name, Great ass. The kind of
PERSON I WANT TO SEE IT WIN IT ALL! Evil Shenanigans, of course, but since that won't be possible Devonta Freeman would be my second choice. God bless the broken road that led E to this moment. 9 seasons, 1 playoff appearance and maybe now 1 championship??? If the Cubs can win a title and Cleveland can win a title then I believe Eric Pitt can win a title too. Wouldn't that be something?
Welp, that's it for Commish Reports this season. Hope you kids have had as much fun reading as I've had writing them. Each week I think I don't have anything to write about and sure enough some bad jokes and musing find their way onto the interwebs for Shane to skip down to see if I picked him or not and complain either way.
I appreciate you all for playing this season. I'm always laughing when the chat starts lighting up during games. Makes every Sunday a little better and I thank you.
Now what do I write about?
