What's Wrong With The Super Bowl Champs? What About The Falcons? No More Sacksonville? Kirk Cousins Is Overpaid!


 
  Philadephia Eagles are done winning, but they are probably still having fun. Jacksonville Jaguars were supposed to have the best defense in the league this year. Well, their defense isn't better than Tennesse's. Atlanta Falcons came into the season as a Super Bowl contender. They were eliminated by the New Orleans Saints on Thanksgiving night. And Kirk Cousins...... Let's first talk about the Eagles.

  In 2017, no one expected the Philadephia Eagles to get to the Super Bowl and win it. After they accomplished that, they started talking a lot of nonsense about Tom Brady and the New England Patriots! The person who talked the most negative about the Patriots was Lane Johnson. He said, he would rather have fun and win only one Super Bowl than have a miserable life and win five Super Bowls. I guess after winning one Super Bowl, he is okay with his team losing and getting blown out! The Eagles are still in the playoff hunt, but the Dallas Cowboys are the better overall team in the NFC East, and they should win the division. Hopefully, Lane and the Eagles earn some respect for what the Patriots year in and year out.

  It isn't so hard to describe 2018 for the Atlanta Falcons. 2018 season was just an awful season for the Falcons in terms of luck. They had way too many key injuries. Their injuries weren't as bad as the San Francisco 49ers', but the Falcons started losing key players on both sides of the ball from day one. However, they didn't lose their quarterback in Matt Ryan and their best player in Julio Jones. So why were they still losing? Injuries are part of the game, but if your best players are still there, shouldn't you still have a winning record rather than a losing record? Yes, you should, but in this case, the Falcons lost their number one running back and two starting offensive lineman on offense, and several key players on defense. All year long, Matt Ryan and Julio Jones have played well. It was just this past Thursday Night game against the New Orleans Saints and the Week five Pittsburgh Steelers' game in which they played way below their level. Time for the Falcons to focus on 2019.

  How many times have we seen teams have one good year, and then they start acting like they are the team to beat? We have seen teams like the Carolina Panthers and the Denver Broncos go all the way to Super Bowl one year, and then the next year, they miss the postseason. Last year, the Jacksonville Jaguars went to the AFC Title game after making it to the postseason for the first time in ten years. They lost in the Conference round to the New England Patriots in a pretty close battle. In 2018, many football fans and experts expected the Jaguars to win their division again and go to the postseason in back to back years. Eleven games into the season, they are sitting at 3-8 and as the fourth best team in their division. I guess it's time to focus less on nicknames and gimmicks and focus more on finding ways to win games.

  The Minnesota Vikings can have all the talent in the world and a pretty decent coaching crew, and yet, they will still find a way to be disappointing. The Vikings went to the NFC Title game last year with Case Keenum at quarterback and Jerick Mckinnon at running back. This year, they have Kirk Cousins at the quarterback spot and Dalvin Cook as their running back. Yet, they are two losses away from missing the playoffs in 2018. This season proved that Skip Bayless was right all along about Kirk Cousins. We can get the stats from Cousins, but when it's time to win big games, he will find a way to lose the game by either turning the ball over or by taking a sack late in the game, on third and/or fourth down. It was the Rams' game in Week four that had me believe in Skip's analysis on Cousins. The Rams were up 38-31 when Cousins and the Vikings got the ball late in the game for one last drive. That drive ended with Kirk Cousins fumbling the ball. Yes, the opposing defense made a play on the ball, but Cousins could have thrown the ball away or just taken a clean sack. Once the fumble took place, I knew that the Vikings will have a disappointing season. Kirk Cousins is not going to win the Vikings a Super Bowl! He is overpaid!

Surprise of the year?

  None another than the Chicago Bears! I didn't expect them to be 8-3 after eleven games into the season. I still don't believe in their quarterback Mitch Trubisky, but they have talent all over the field. Also, Matt Naggy is a genius as a head coach. He lets his defense play freely, as he knows what his defense is capable of. On offense, he comes up with excellent plays to move the ball effectively and score enough points to win. The Bears are not going deep in the playoffs this year, but with the talent and coaching of Matt Naggy, they can win at least one playoff game. Chicago Bears' management and ownership deserve a lot of credit for putting together this team in 2018.

Games To Watch In Week One Of The Season.

  Before we talk about the three big-time games from this Sunday, let's start with the game that took place on Thursday. Philadephia Eagles versus Atlanta Falcons was supposed to be a great game. It was a close game that the Falcons could have won at the end of it. Why did they lose to the Eagles again? Simply because they haven't figured out how to score in the red-zone. Forget about the divisional playoff game from last season, let's talk about the 2017-18 regular season. Atlanta Falcons did win ten games last year and made it to the playoffs as the sixth seed, but their scoring went down significantly. They were supposed to be a top-five scoring offense with all the playmakers on their side. They have a monster in Julio Jones, who in my opinion, should be the most dominant player in the red-zone besides Rob Gronkowski. Julio finished the regular season with only three touchdown catches. I have already talked about this before, but it still boggles my mind how he caug...

Odell Bechkham Jr Needs To Wake Up!

   With the 12th pick in the 2014 Draft, the New York Giants select Odell Beckham Jr from LSU. Giants fans were excited about this pick, but they didn't know how ultra-talented this kid was. Not even in their wildest dream, they saw this young kid to take over the city of New York the way he did. Obviously he was a star in college during his time with LSU, but we all know, being a star in college doesn't guarantee a player to be a star in professional football. Odell was expected to be another weapon for Eli Manning and to be the number two receiver, behind Victor Cruz. Then before midway into the 2014 season, Victor Cruz suffered a season ending injury at Philadelphia in a game against the Eagles. Suddenly, the offense of the New York Giants depended heavily on Odell. Guess what he was more than ready for the challenge. He had an incredible season in his first year in the league in terms of numbers and impact. He caught attention o...

How Important Is This Super Bowl For Eagles & Patriots?

A football game might not have equal value for the two teams.   In the National Football League, every single game has some meaning to it. There are some games which one team could not afford to lose. When a team is going up against its rival and hasn't won a game against them in the last two to three meetings, then they know they can't lose for the fourth straight time. If a team loses four straight games against its rival then, how is it considered a rivalry among the two? It would seem like a rivalry dominated by just one team. I honestly believe that there is no rivalry between the Detroit Lions and the Green Bay Packers and I will explain you why exactly! When you think of a team getting into the playoffs on a consistent basis, do you think of the Lions or the Packers? When you think about great quarterbacks, do you think of the quarterbacks of the Lions or of the Packers? When you think of Super titles, do you think of the Lions who have never even played in one...
