Thankfully,I recently joined this blog and now have my CF brethren to both help keep me sane and give me a glimmer of hope.Well,as I've already discussed ad nauseum,last night was Idler Arm Taylor Night in the Doug "AA" Whaley,Fat Rex,and Greg "Disgrace To Any True" Roman Caste Clown Trio Minstrel Show that has been somehow referred to as a QB competition here in Buffalo.I don't know how you have a QB competition when there is only one actual QB in the group(Matt Simms doesn't count,even though he's had just as many good practices as Ebony Jenkum Manuel by honest accounts),but I digress.Taylor once again put in a very pedestrian performance----at best---against a pathetically vanilla Browns defense filled with 2nd and 3rd stringers in the secondary,and once again,Fat Rex and the Marxist Media Mavens are abuzz with hype and praise.You'll notice I left the DWFs out of that equation and I did so on purpose as it will bring me to my first bright spot.
I woke up this morning rather depressed.In addition to the prospect of having yet another season wasted and another afrolete under center,Chris Hogan was injured last night and carted off.The initial reports were an ankle injury and there has been nary an update since which is not a good sign.Of course if he were an afrolete,he could've gotten Joe Theismanned and the media would be assuring all concerned DWFs that he'd be fine by Week One.On to the first bright spot.Instead of the expected DWF Idler Arm Taylor lovefest I was psyching myself up to contend with this morning,I was pleasantly surprised to hear mostly bickering between a large percentage of DWFs and the Marxist Media Mavens.The source of this great divide : none other than Mr. Ebony Jenkum Manuel himself !!! That's right,a large faction of DWFs in Buffalo are up in arms about Manuel not getting a "fair shot".Nevermind that all of his preseason success has come against 3rd and 4th stringers and has been spotty at that or that the only true QB in this purported "competiton" didn't even get to take a snap in last night's game,they aren't happy campers.I will sit back and enjoy the bickering amongst the enemy for the time being as another way of helping me cope with this horses**t.
On to the authentic bright spots.I thought Johnny Manziel looked really good.In fact in my opinion,he was the best QB on the field last night by a wide margin.A.J. Tarpley came in with the 2nd team and did a fine job of quarterbacking the defense and made a few plays.Zach Zenner had a very good night for the Detroit Lions.Robert Gremlin The Turd was injured yet again and both Kirk Cousins and Colt McCoy had good nights.Of course the Marxist Media Mavens hardly mentioned Cousins and McCoy as all they could talk about was The Turd.A few of the mavens are even calling for Jay Gruden's head on a platter : how dare him leave po' fragile Robert in there that long with that atrocious O-Line and similar invectives because,you know----it's all about The Turd.Hey,maybe Gruden did do it on purpose.If he did,I wouldn't blame him as that may be the ONLY way for him to keep The Turd off the field and keep his job given the agenda of his boss !!!!
