CBS Sports: NFL 1989-Preseason Opener: Dallas Cowboys @ San Diego Chargers: Intro

I am not so much interested in Troy Aikman’s first NFL pass, since it was in a preseason game and technically didn’t count. What I am interested in is Pat Summerall’s intro to this game, because he was the master of that, with his great voice, knowledge of the game, and pure intelligence. He not only could have written his own intros, but he also had a great sense of humor. Then combine him with…

The AFC West Has Become a Reality Show:

Inside the NFL’s Most Dramatic Division

Despite 75% of the NFL still being in playoff contention, it’s become impossible to ignore the drama in the AFC West. In 2023, following these teams feels like binge watching Selling Sunset. You know it’s a shitshow, but you can’t stop watching. You just have to find out who is gonna backstab who, who’s going to hook up, and who makes the worst deal (spoiler alert that was clearly the Broncos).

Before the start of last season, we detailed how we thought this could be the most compelling division in football in our previous article ‘Are the Broncos (still) the Worst Team in the AFC West?’ (Link here) And while it hasn’t been the most competitive division in football, it has been entertaining as all hell. Today we’ll take a look at how surprisingly and uniquely dysfunctional each team from the AFC West has been this year starting with the reigning Super Bowl Champions.

Kansas Pity Chiefs

That’s right despite winning it all last season and still being in the playoff mix this year, the Chiefs look shockingly beatable in the second half of the 2023 season. Travis Kelce is going on profane rants on his podcast while his Superstar girlfriend looks like she’s writing their breakup song up in the booth. Their receivers can’t catch a ball to save their lives, Kadarius Toney almost certainly has multiple bounties on his head, and Mahomes looks the most sexually frustrated he’s been since high school.

Their consternation reached its climax after the offsides call heard round the world when Mahomes finally snapped unleashing the full breadth of his vitriol on the officials despite them clearly making the right call. After being restrained and calming down, he turned to Josh Allen to hear about how he felt they didn’t get a fair call. Allen’s dismissive reaction echoed all of America’s sentiment towards Kansas City finally not benefiting from a flag.

Mas Vegas Raiders!!!!

If you’d told Raider nation that they would have fired their ‘fertile offensive mind’ in Josh McDaniels and benched their starting Quarterback for a struggling rookie, they would have gone on a bender the likes of which only Las Vegas can facilitate while writing off another lost season (though only after celebrating McDaniels’ well-deserved termination). Instead Raiders’ fans probably think they’re experiencing deja vu watching their decorated Head Coach being replaced with a relative unknown only for the team to overcome an avalanche of adversity and go on a potential playoff run.

After seemingly everyone even loosely affiliated with the Raiders told Josh McDaniels to go fuck himself and their now interim Head Coach shit on his greatest life accomplishments in a team meeting aimed at clearing the air, Mark Davis finally appeased his fanbase and shitcanned McDaniels in even fewer games than his division rival Broncos. Davis then handed the reins over to Anthony Pierce and Jimmy G was promptly benched. It was fair to assume the team was looking to the future and punting this year.

Instead the Raiders have a winning record under Pierce with back to back impressive divisional wins over the Chiefs and Chargers, the latter of which produced 63 points for the Raiders and resulted in another Head Coach firing for:

The Lost Angeles Chargers

Rumors of Brandon Staley’s tenuous grasp on his position persisted back to his team’s embarrassment of a playoff debut in which his defense allowed a shocking 21 point comeback in the 2nd half. While he was inexplicably retained, it seemed to go without saying that this was a major prove it year for the Defensive Mastermind whose team loaded with Defensive stars couldn’t play Defense.

Kellen Moore was brought in to help Justin Herbert take the next step in his development while providing a more potent yet balanced Offensive attack. As highlighted in our previous article ‘Revenge of the Nerd’ (link here) Moore’s hiring yielded dramatic red zone improvement and produced the best year of Keenan Allen’s prolific career. Despite this, the Chargers could never shake their reputation of always finding a way to lose games. So far this year they’ve gone 1-6 in one possession games, with the one win being against the Patriots in a game which neither team scored a touchdown.

When asked if his messaging was still getting through to the team, Staley responded affirmatively stating “Yeah, otherwise you’d get blown out of the stadium”. Four days later, they got blown out of the fucking stadium by the aforementioned Raiders. As funny as the Staley saga has been to follow, the big twist in the Chargers’ drama is the rumblings of who may replace one of the worst Head Coaches in recent history…..the greatest Head Coach in history. With the Patriots and Bill Belichick rumored to finally be parting ways this offseason, it would seem that the appeal of this Chargers’ roster has caught the eye of the evil emperor himself. Belichick vs Reid twice a year? Yes please!

Denver Uh Oh’s

As dramatic as this division has been as a whole, it comes as no surprise that the team featuring a guy hated by the team he won a Super Bowl with and the guy behind Bounty Gate, would be the Jerry Springer to every other team here’s Maury. Things got spicy before the season even got underway with Sean Payton basically calling Nathaniel Hackett the worst coach in history and suggesting he kill himself.

After those comments, Payton’s squad went on to get 70 hung on them by Miami (T-2nd most in NFL history), lose to the very Coach he torched, and starting 1-5 before going on a shocking 5 game winning streak beating Josh Allen and getting their first win against the Chiefs in EIGHT years. Things were looking up until their momentum was stopped dead in its tracks with back to back prime time losses to Detroit and New England, the former of which led to Sean Payton’s now viral tongue lashing of Wilson. Despite Payton’s comments about Hackett’s tenure, his regime has been more of a media circus than an orgy between the Kardashian family and the NBA All Star Team.

And they’re ending this season with a bang as the long awaited Russell Wilson breakup is now official with this week’s announcement that Jarrett Stidham will start the rest of the season. This move is surprising on many fronts. The least controversial of which is the fact that this team is still in playoff contention with two games left. The juicier aspect of this move is the manner in which it transpired behind the scenes.

After that long-awaited victory over the Chiefs, a truly triumphant moment for a team that has struggled since Peyton Manning gave them their last championship, Broncos’ brass suggested Russell Wilson’s injury guarantee made him a giant pussy and that he should gamble his financial future on not getting hurt the rest of the year. Needless to say, Russ forced their hand and now the Broncos are back where they started before the Russ trade sans several valuable draft picks and players. That hardly seems to matter to Sean Payton, as he is clearly past the point of trying to make this marriage work. As a wise Hall of Fame Tight End recently said on Thursday Night Football: “Why is divorce expensive? Because it’s worth it!”

Raiders DE Tyree Wilson Uses Chargers Blowout As Warmup For Chiefs Rematch

Raiders DE Tyree Wilson got extra reps in during the Week 14 blowout of the Chargers. Wilson is now preparing for a rematch with the Chiefs.

Tyree Wilson had the best game of his rookie season against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 14. Wilson wasn’t satisfied and had another productive outing in Week 15. The Las Vegas Raiders blew the top off the Los Angeles Chargers 63-21, and Wilson was again a contributor rather than a spectator—quite the opposite of other previous lackluster performances. Wilson finished the rout of their AFC West…

NBC Sports: NFL 1980-Wildcard-Houston Oilers @ Oakland Raiders: Full Game

On paper this looked like a great matchup and great game. Two physical hard-hitting teams with big offensive lines who play very good defense and run the ball very well. As well as having two very good quarterbacks in Ken Stabler for the Oilers, who of course use to play of the Raiders for so long. And Jim Plunkett for the Raiders, who finally got a chance to play for a good winning team. And one…
