Wild Carded - Ye of Little Faith Miss the Comeback

So, Saturday night BrooklynDodger had the Jets game on, muted, and we had people for dinner. The political discussion at the table got monopolized by a discussion of judicial nominees and whether to filibuster all or some, and whether it was a mass issue or not.

So BrooklynDodger drifted back and forth to the TV; actually, I thought, you don’t miss much from either, just like flipping from a movie to the game and back. Then, I saw Drew Brees nearly sacked, the fourth down pass fall harmlessly to the ground, and the Jets win. Coming back later, I see the Chargers with 1st and goal because of a roughing penalty for something that looked about like what happens in the NBA over a contested rebound. And tie the game going into overtime. Discussion went on, and I saw the Chargers driving to what was surely a chip shot field goal, so I turned it off with the Jets surely lost.

Next day, listening to Packers-Vikings, I hear the field goal was missed and the Jets won. Speaking of Packers, despite beating BrooklynDodger's Giants twice in the playoffs in the old NFL, they never made it to the top of my hated list like the Cowboys [my favorite team in football remains whoever is playing the Cowboys, more satisfying than either a Giants, Jets or Lions win.] [Even the Redskins]. But watching the Packers and Vikings, the question comes why none of my teams have a receiver who can get open, while these guys have bunches of them.
