Hello Football Fans,
Yes fall is coming... the autumn winds blowing... and yes, lets blame Flacco for everything.
Despite me not being a twitter follower much less having an account anymore. The national media continues to praise Johnny Manziel and Andy Dalton as the next big things in football. Yet Flacco continues to receive scorn and ridicule as a quarterback.
Let's figure this out for a few minutes. First of all, he recently won a Super Bowl (XLVII) and yet, his performance in the playoffs was discredited as the defense and the receivers "bailing him out." Now if I recall correctly.
Let's look at that 2012-2013 playoff run:
4 wins, 73 passes completed, 1140 yards, 11 TD, NO and I repeat... NO INTERCEPTIONS
And guess what, he's still discredited as a quarterback.

People, get off Flacco... Right now, especially you Skip Bayless! Back to calling Flacco, Fluke-O!
I think it's time for national media to get off of Flacco. This may be his finest season in place with new weapons and a new offensive coordinator... Kubiak has well established himself as a great offensive mind and has pretty much told Flacco to put the football down and work on his accuracy.
And so far... hey, he did quite alright!

It's the NFL Prediction for the standings and let me say this... there's no bias, this is my aggressive/conservative

WEEK 1 SELECTIONS
Opening Statement: Well the season is back and all 32 teams are in first place. It all opens up in Seattle with a rematch of the "Fail Mary" of 2012. The road to Glendale and Super Bowl XLIX will be tough for every team and elias sports bureau is predicting this as one of the worst seasons for every team in terms of their road records due to the new rules put in place. The number one defense in the league will be giving up close to 350-375 yards per game as this is an air league and not a ground one anymore. It's really sad that defenses don't win championships anymore and that this is turning into the National Pussification Football League.
With that in mind, here are this week's selections (Team on the right is the home team)
