Happy seven weeks of sadness.
For those who celebrate here every Tuesday morning anyway.
But the good news is by that point you’ll only have four weeks left to go.
Let’s just get on with it.
Those never end well as evidenced above by the Saints going from “What Dat?”
to “You Splat!”
The way Broncos/Saints games are supposed to be played.
OK - let’s dive into the historical precedence on all this.
As if there would be some other kind of precedence.
Evidently, things did not improve after that.
Sad Stat #2 - What if Jim Irsay drafted Anthony Richardson AND Will Levis after all?
Who doesn’t love a good thought experiment?
Wouldn’t have worked out but at least they’d have swung and missed twice instead of once.
Face it Colts fans - there is no hope for Anthony Richardson.
He’s awful and has shown zero progress.
Joe Flacco acted as the proper control in proving Richardson was the problem.
Just like he did in Cleveland.
Seriously, I think Tennessee needs to trade for Flacco now while Levis is out.
If he has success - Levis is gone.
Anyway - back to the thought experiment.
What if Irsay did draft both Richardson and Levis?
This is what Irsay would have gotten.
Let’s get some player comps on our guy Willy Richardson.
How much longer do we want to give them?
I found just two similar examples of teams doing something this stupid in the last 20 years.
Of course, the Matt Lafleur game in the 2020 Playoffs.
We all know that one.
But the other was Dan Quinn’s 2015 Falcons in Week 9.
The Falcons were down 17-13 with 3:00 left and 4th and goal at the 1-yard line.
Just making sure you don’t think that’s a typo.
Jacobs came into Week 7 with 1,593 receiving yards which topped Gerald Riggs' 1,540.
Gerald now stands alone where on top of this lonely mountain stat.
It appears he can.
That makes me wonder.
What is the record for most consecutive games with an interception in NFL history, anyway?
Has anyone gone the entire season throwing at least one every game without getting benched?
Hang on a sec…
This Bronco quarterback would end the season after playing every game and posting a 24/34 TD/INT ratio.
But wait just a minute.
What if I told you there was no film slides Tripucka was holding to keep his coach playing him?
What if it was coach Frank Filchock all along who wanted this to keep happening?
Perhaps he had something to gain.
A team that somehow still made it to the Playoffs because - well - that was the 1940s.
But I’m not most people, Frank Filchock.
That’s it for Week 7.
