It was a good football day. I got 2 of the 3 things I wanted, and it was the most important 2, so I'm satisfied with that. Seahawks won, 49ers lost, and unfortunately I lost my fantasy football matchup because Carolina decided to forget that they play great defense.
Can anyone tell me why the Carolina Panthers were so terrible tonight? Not their offense, but their defense. Seriously? Letting the Steelers score that much on them? They cost me 7 points!!! Actually, 17 points, because they were supposed to give me POSITIVE 10 points, not negative 7! Argh!! Had they played more like their usual selves, I would have beaten this undefeated guy in my fantasy football matchup. :( I SHOULD HAVE WON. STUPID CAROLINA.
Except for Luke Kuechly. Hot, hot Luke Kuechly. ( Gratuitous photos. )
Especially after playing Marshawn Lynch and having him tear it up after being "questionable" all week as to whether or not he was even going to play! That man is seriously a beast. I can't believe we considered letting him go in the offseason. He clearly IS the offense.
( More on the Seahawks vs Broncos game today... )
Watching that game was exhausting. The emotional ups and downs! The pure adrenaline! My hands were shaking after it was over.
According to my mom, however, there was never anything to worry about. She's become a fan of watching the Seahawks play, which, if you knew my mother, you would understand how utterly bizarre the idea is of her liking any kind of professional sport at all, much less something like gridiron football. Anyway, she watched the game on her own while I was out, and ( I had the following exchange with her when I got home. )
Finally, a word about the NFC West. Felt bad about the Rams losing, since they overcame their quarterback woes to play well and get a 21-0 lead over the Cowboys, only to squander it in an eventual loss. If they were still the same dangerous team as earlier in the year I might've been glad about them losing, but I don't see them as much of a threat anymore, so I would have liked to see them win for the NFC West. As for the Cardinals beating the 49ers, well... naturally I was rooting for that to happen, even though the Cardinals are also a dangerous team and are now one of very few teams to remain unbeaten after week 3. But they should also be weaker than they were last year... maybe. Hopefully. So I hope that says more about how much the 49ers suck than it does that the Cardinals are now the team to beat in our division. They were playing with backups, for god's sake.
