I’m writing this because it’s Sunday morning and too early to call my friends and yell while I pound my fist against everything around me.  At the risk of being pulled outside and beaten like the little man that I am by an already angry and disappointed football player, what the fuck was that?

What happened last night in Atlanta was an epic meltdown, on all fronts. The only player that looked like he had his head in the game was Brian Finneran, and while I love Brian Finneran, he can’t take you to a Super Bowl by himself.

The Atlanta defense was… I’m sad. Let me put it this way, 31-36 for 366 yards, 3 TD’s and a rushing score from Aaron Rodgers. And honestly, not too much different than what I expected from him. His yardage totals were similar to their last game, the difference was, Matt Ryan’s insistence on giving the Packers the ball.

Michael Jenkins slipped in the endzone on Matty’s first interception, so I’m going to let that one slide. The killer was the pick-six at the end of the first half that gave the Pack a 2 touchdown league, in addition to them getting the ball back in the second half.  I punched air until… sometime tomorrow… maybe Tuesday.

But this wasn’t just Matt Ryan, this was a total mechanical failure.You can’t blame 48-21 on one man, you have to blame all the men. I think in their minds, they were still on that school bus, heads bobbing, dancing with children, their boss trying to awkwardly keep the beat while they laughed to themselves… Obviously, this young team was simply not ready for the gravity of the situation. They did not show up to play, and that’s sad, because what they displayed last night was nothing like anything they’ve displayed all year.  This was never a game, even when Atlanta had a seven point lead.

Aaron Rodgers ate them like a T-Bone, and Green Bay’s Defense ate Matt Ryan like a loaded baked potato. I’m talking bacon bits, chives… the works. I am soooo hungry. Why do you think that is? Maybe my stomach is mocking my heart, which is now completely empty. Does anyone know what time Outback opens? This is ridiculous. I demand some type of satisfaction. I deserve it after last night. The least they can do is buy me a steak. I’m thinking about suing them.

Whatever. I’ve decided to go live in the woods, so you guys hang tough. Good luck on December 21, 2012, I’ll be rooting for you. Go people. Ra.
