NFL 2013: WEEK 8


Dolfan in NYC

Recommended Posts

This week's Raiders-Steelers game will be interesting because I'm sure Terrelle Pryor will be pumped up to have a monster game against the Steelers what with them being his hometown team. He was a Pittsburgh high school sports legend, winning state player of the year twice and leading his school to state championships in both football and basketball. He'd be fun to root for if he also wasn't such a legendary prick: He's literally the the real life Voodoo Tatum.*

 

*Yes, I like to compare NFL players to characters from Friday Night Lights. Andrew Luck is totally Jason Street if Street never got paralyzed. Russell Wilson = Vince Howard. And Riggins has to be Rob Gronkowski.   

 

Also, since clinging to a growing-ever-distant glorious past is a central tenet of the Raider fan experience, you know the Coliseum crowd is gonna have flashbacks and be even more firely than usual at first sight of the Steeler road whites.  And for what it's worth Raider players still seem to know enough to "get up" for Steeler games even though they weren't even born yet when this match up was/became important.

Also the 49ers started their opening drive with the same roll out sideline pass to the fullback that they literally run at least once in every game this season and has essentially been in the 49er playbook since Bill Walsh's first season.

 

It's a basic west coast offense play with a Best Case Scenario of about 15 yards of catch-and-run.

 

The Jaguars gave up 43 yards on it and didn't even have a defender on that side of the field, and literally any other eligible ballcarrier on the 49er roster would've had an 80 yard touchdown.

 

We all know the Jags are the worst team in the league but we kinda have an actual unit of measure to quantify how much worse they are than everyone else now.
