It was not a happy day here in Wisconsin. The Packers looked invulnerable for the first 4 1/4 games this year – then reality set in and they allowed the Bucs to score the next 38 points.

Packer fans have still had plenty to cheer about this year. Jets fans, if they still exist, have not. The Jets not only lost, they got shut out. What’s more, they have lost the last few against an easier part of their schedule. In the next two weeks they’ll be facing the Chiefs and Bills. The Jets are now the only winless team, as the Giants and Falcons moved up to 1-5 by eking out victories over two other 1-5 teams.

(Speaking of the Chiefs and Bills, they face off Monday with dueling 4-1 records.)

The Steelers impressed, and remained undefeated.

The Titans also remained undefeated, but had to struggle against the 1-5 Texans. The rest of the team may have faltered from time to time, but Derrick Henry didn’t have much trouble. He rushed for 212 yards and two TDS, including a 100-yard dash. It goes in the books as a 94-yard gain, but he lined up for the play well into in his own end zone and ran the full length of the field (shown below). Derrick Henry is almost exactly the same height and weight as President Trump, but he can really get those 238 pounds motoring. (Although, to be fair: (1) his weight may possibly be distributed quite differently from the Donald’s; (2) we haven’t seen Derrick attempt the biggest challenge for guys that size – going down a gently sloped ramp.)

  1. Just a note the Texans record doesn’t really show the caliber of team they are. I don’t necessarily believe they are at the top, but 1-5 looks a little different when you take into account who they’ve played. To start WK1 @Chiefs=L, WK2 Ravens=L, WK3 @Stealers=L, the WK4 loss to the above mentioned Vikings is not good, but they beat Jacksonville in WK5, then faced another undefeated @ Tennessee WK6=L, Next WK7 they get a pissed off Packers team. Then the bye. Not an easy start for any team.

  2. Jesus Uncle Scoopy, step into my office. Close the door, sit down. See, there’s not happy then there’s Not Happy. Yeah you lost. Did you think you were going to win out the season? Your QB is a douche and an insurance salesman, but when he throws two picks it’s NEWS. Ours threw three and everyone’s like Yep, that’s Kirk. So look on the sunny side, you’re a mortal lock to win the division AND you get to play the Vikings again AND you didn’t just end your season by getting blown out by the fucking Falcons.
    See if you look, there is a silver lining to this omnifucked year. Mine is that next week is Bye week.

  3. I started listing to The Rich Eisen Show a while back. Since he’s a Jets fan (or tries to be), it gets rather hilarious quite often, both because of the team’s performance on the field, and also the L. Bell situation.
