The Fryguy Invectives: Frey's NFL Picks Week 5: More Angst. More Excellence.

While I know that most of you would love to talk about my impressive 4-0 record last week or, perhaps, my robust 13-3 mark this season, I’m not going to do that.

Instead, I am going to continue my rant from last week about my beloved Broncos.

Watching us play the Chefs was like sitting in a movie theater watching that movie about the US Olympic Hockey Team in 1980 except in this particular film, Herb Brooks leans over to assistant coach Craig Patrick and says:

‘Our plan of attack has kept the Soviets off-balance for almost the entire game. But they are expecting us to continue to do what works. Let’s change it up and start doing things that don’t work. If that doesn’t do the trick, we can always give up the lead late in the game and then go back to what was working before but do it in a really vanilla and uncreative way that is unlikely to still work.'

Dwight Eisenhower said that, in war, plans are worthless but planning is indispensible.

We had a good game plan but sometimes you need to step back and look at what is actaully going on instead of adhering to preconceptions or running the numbers.

Don’t be the idiot who throws the football from the 2 yard line in the Super Bowl when Marshawn Lynch has been violating the Patriots defense with impunity.

The ubiquitous buffoonery from Bolles and the continuation of rubbish QB play notwithstanding, this extremely important game was ours to lose. Of course, we did just that.

Denver Broncos (+1) @ New York Jets

I know, I know. I just got done trashing the Broncos.

But have you actually seen the Jets?

If there is one type of team that Denver matches up well against its teams that are really, really bad.

If the Broncos lose this game to this team, heads are going to roll and everyone in the organization knows it.

The orange and blue win here. I hope…..

Arizona Cardinals @ San Francisco 49ers (-3 ½)

It causes me physical pain to even mention that a game this crappy is even being played.

Let us speak no more of this.

Baltimore Ravens (-3) @ Cleveland Browns

It is important to note that in order to be a true fan of a bad organization from an inferior city (Jets/Browns/Bills/etc), one must surrender their critical faculties and equate the absence of sucking with actual competence.

The New Browns Media Campaign 2018

Well done Browns. You didn’t go 0-16 this year, almost won a couple games against teams that took you lightly, and valiantly choked away a contest against a terrible Raiders team.

It’s a step in the right direction considering the historical ineptitude of your recent past, but not enough to get this type of respect against a solid Ravens squad.

Take the Rat-birds to cover here.

New York Giants @ Carolina Panthers (-6)

Riddle me this good readers:

Why is it that a 1-3 Giants team whose signature win this season was against a mediocre team led by a guy named “Blaine Gabbert” but is still only a 6 point road underdog to a solid team like Carolina?

The Panthers beat good teams at home by more than six points. They should stomp these buffoons right?

There is one answer and one answer alone:
