Predictions: No bagels, but Dogs win, Jackets don’t collapse
Having just completed my annual day of Jewish repentance — 24 hours usually isn’t enough, so I tend to just focus on the top seven or eight sins — I was surprised to see a headline on the London Daily Mail website about, “Bagel Heads” taking over Japan. And I’m thinking, OK, I break my fast with bagels every year. I can see the Japanese liking bagels. Everybody likes bagels.
(The real bagels, not the press board at Kroger. There are two things that never should be considered acceptable: replacement bagels and replacement NFL officials. I swear, if Roger Goodell ever got on stage and said, “I think these replacement bagels are getting the job done,” he’d have 7,000 rabbis jump him and make him scream, “Onion! Sesame! Poppy!” within seven seconds.)
Where was I? Right, “Bagel Heads.”
Oy. Really? (via natgeotv.com)
So it turns out this actually is a “fashion trend” in Japan. I wish I was making this up: Misguided youth are having saline injected into their forehead, after which somebody presses their thumb on the area and leaves an imprint.
Hence, “Bagel Head.”
Or, “Idiot.”
I’m not sure who came up with this idea. But I think having an anvil dropped on your head and being called, “Commissioner” was second choice.
One male (uncertain species) who had this makeover looked in the mirror and said, “I’m impressed.” And immediately everybody wondered if John L. Smith had been cloned.
So why address “Bagel Heads” to lead into the Georgia-Tennessee game? Simple. I was too hungry Wednesday to break down game tapes. Besides, I can’t remember the last time there was a less-compelling Georgia-Tennessee game.
There’s this: It will be the first Bulldogs game this season that won’t have a player suspended for past sins. (Hey, they had Yom Kippur, too!) But I expect a Georgia loss as much as I expect Mark Richt to walk out for the postgame press conference and say, “Hey, look what I did to my forehead!”
No dramatic makeover: Dogs cover 13½.
Sis-Boom-Blah
(Unofficially Bad Game Week)
I'm not sure which of these monkeys is Al Groh.
Mid-Tennessee State at Georgia Tech: Four days after his defense allowed 609 yards and blew a game to Miami, Al Groh said Wednesday he was done talking about it. Never mind that it was the first time there was any media access to him. Way to go, Slick. Blow this one, and the next words out of your mouth are going to be, “Hello, I’m Al Groh. Can I get you started with some jalapeno poppers?” Jackets cover 27½.
South Carolina at Kentucky: Steve Spurrier, channeling his inner-second-grader, threw another fit over a Columbia columnist second-guessing his decision to start battered quarterback Connor Shaw against UAB, which seems to qualify as a legitimate second-guess. So Spurrier made an opening statement on a conference call with reporters, then just hung up. Hey, maybe as halftime entertainment against Kentucky, he can stomp his feet, hold his breath and pass out. Oh wait. Lane Kiffin has copyright on that. Roosters cover 20½.
Maybe if everybody just ignored Spurrier, like Stewie
Arkansas at Texas A&M: John L. Smith, the gift that keeps on giving, mistakenly referred to Arkansas as “Alabama” in a speech this week. Hey, he was only talking to Razorbacks fans. For a moment they all thought they had died and gone to heaven. The reality: Not heaven. Texas A&M: This is your Bar Mitzvah! Aggies win and cover 13½.
Old Ms. at Alabama: The Tide has won four games by an average score of 42-5. Of course, Nick Saban is worried and says Mississippi’s option offense gets “defenses out of their comfort zone.” I think Patton said that just before he took Casablanca. Alabama covers 31.
Pros and Cons
Goodbye Superman? Hello Kitty? (Kevin Siers of Charlotte Observer)
Panthers at Falcons: Cam Newton is a pouting, sulking, blubbering, emotional tub of goo, or something to that effect. Steve Smith called him out, and a Charlotte Observer cartoonist mocked his “Superman” touchdown celebration by depicting him with a “Hello Kitty” T-shirt under his jersey instead of an “S.” Ouch. Goodbye kitties: Falcons cover 7½.
Saints at Packers: Amid the hysterical, Wile E. Coyote-esque disaster that the Saints have turned into, here’s the biggest pie in the face: The defense, which figured to be solid after the hiring of Steve Spagnuolo, allowed 520 yards to the Chiefs and has given up 102 points in three games. I think at 110, you’re clinically dead. Packers cover 7½.
Patriots at Bills: If a replacement official wants to press charges for being assaulted by Bill Belichick in last week’s game, does he appeal to the Replacement Officials Union. Or is that kind of like trying to find the Wal-Mart Workers Union? The Patriots (1-2) have a losing record for the first time since 2003. This helps. Pats cover 4.
Giants at Eagles: The Eagles have 12 turnovers. That doesn’t even include Michael Vick’s contract. Take the 2 and the Giants in a mild road upset.
Seahawks at Rams: Personally, the Seahawks didn’t see a problem with the replacement officials. Take the 2½ and St. Louis straight up.
Steve Spagnuolo had the perfect plan. And then … Oops.

Credits and debits
“Luck never gives; it only lends.” – Swedish Proverb.
Last week (yech): 8-3 straight up, 3-7-1 against the line.
Overall (better): 35-10 straight up, 28-16-1 against the line.
Lock of the week: Kwikset.
Sack Schultz update: “KarlaMoshe” of Kansas has had four straight 13-2 weeks and leads the pack at 52-8. I like to think I’m in the cool pack at 48-12 (tied for 290th).
Lilly Pick of the Week: She’s 2-2. This week, the biscuit choice was between Drew Brees (Saints) and Aaron Rodgers (Packers). She hesitated, then lunged toward — Packers.
I told Lilly that Drew Brees is 0-3 and likes bounties ...
... And Aaron Rodgers is 1-2 and likes dogs. She chose wisely.

Two things:
I. The Carolina turn against Newton may have been done in record time. That was fast…
II. I’m a Georgia game, but view this week vs. Tennessee as a good trap game. Tennessee is better than most people think. I think we’ll win, but I don’t think it’ll be easy. Georgia takes it by less than seven.

Glad to hear both of us survived our fast, Jeff.
Go Dawgs, Go Falcons. No upsets that I can see. I wish I could show you the picture I saw last night at Break Fast on someone’s phone. It was a Tennessee fan with the “T” shaved into their goatee. Great publicity this week from them, not. Glad you didn’t talk about that story at PKA.

1) Lilly is 2-2. It’s almost like she’s not putting any thought into this at all. 2) That bagel head thing disturbs me. 3) If Georgia can avoid giving up too many big plays to those elite WRs, then I think they cover.

Well, if memory serves correct, the last couple of “big” home games for the Dawgs include last year’s games vs Auburn and KY. They more than covered Auburn but dang near threw away the division vs KY. Which will it be this week?

I think Georgia has one of the best offenses in the country…..and a pretty good defense. But, you can only fake dancing for so long till folks figure out you can’t dance……Dawgs let Tenn hang around for a half, say 17 -10…..then blow out the second half with Tree and Jarvis blitzing about every play and pulling away 41-17

Swansea created a few chances – all saved by Tim Howard who played well – but Everton destroyed them on attack. They scored 3 but it should have been 6 or 7. The best I have seen the Blues play away from Goodison in a long, long time.

We’ll win.
UGA will win.
Falcons will win.
Braves will close to within 1 game of the Nats by Monday.
Saints will start 0-4.
The refs replacing the replacement refs will come under scrutiny because of the game deciding FG kick between NYG and the Eagles. The giants kicker will hit the goal. The ball will break. One part falls inside, and the other falls outside.

I don’t predict regular season games… Carolina’s defense does nothing exceptionally well… Their weaknesses (tackling, poor secondary play, foolish penalties) play into presumed areas of strengths… It will be the Falcons first time playing a team with zone read running game. I’m not a big fan of how they run it, but if (and it is a big if) Newton plays one of those games, they can hang offensively… I still say the same thing, you run to the right side of your offense against Atlanta (from center to tackle), do it from the start until it sticks… Don’t stand at the line waiting for them to show the defense, they won’t. Script your first two series, and quick snap the ball. Don’t throw seam routes unless it beyond the safeties. And don’t fear trying to run them out of their big nickel tendencies… It is the path to making the safeties commit, that is the blue print… When Robinson and Moore run by a play, that slows the rush…

Jeff’s obsession with Newton is hilarious. At least Newton isn’t getting arrested like the Falcons.

Someone mentioned betting the line in the Mark Richt era. {11} seasons. If you bet the line with UGA for the past 11 seasons you may not be bankrupt but, you would be financially embarrassed.
However UGA has covered twice this season.
Matter of fact in 11 seasons UGA has tied the spread on numerous occasions.
This week Dawgs cover.
Falcons cover as well. Newton is overrated and the Falcons will take the cape of this so-called superman.
I’m in agreement with someone who posted above, Newton doing his superman strut last week while getting embarrassed on the field.
You can certainly tell where he come from and where Matt Ryan come from.
Some people never learn.
Wondered how long it would take to expose Carolina’s spread offense, if it was successful wouldn’t every offense in the leauge be running it?
GT should pay attention to this as a sign of things to come.

Vick is now an old washed up, banged up fraud…Vick will have one or two good games per season and some people will think he is a good QB…but then all the rest of the season Vick will have 8 or 10 lousy games and he will be a turn-over machine and play awful, that’s why Vick has NEVER WON ANYTHING and never will….LOL.

Vick started 5 seasons here…….
2002 – Playoff win
2003 – Broken Leg
2004 – Playoff win and championship game
2005 – No playoff wins
2006 – No playoff wins
Well this year is CHOKE’s 5th season as the starter….
2008 – 1 and done.
2009 – No playoffs.
2010 – 1 and done.
2011 – 1 and done.
2012 – ?????
Dang are you telling me the elite CHOKE won’t duplicate at least 2 separate seasons with playoff wins? No single championship game appearance?
So what is the value of a 72 million dollar contract?
Basically he has been as WORTHLESS as I predicted, but the AJC and his LOSER fanbase still calls him elite.
I guess elite must now has an asterisk on “zero playoff wins”….

Mr. Poop, Hello! Let’s recap some of your postings recently:
1. It’s also quite relevant to point out that as fashionable as it may be to credit the WRs’ success to their QB, Michael Jenkins continues to suck with Matt Ryan throwing to him just as he did with Vick throwing to him.
2. Again, it’s one thing to like or dislike a player, but when you have to blatantly lie and ignore the facts to support your point of view, your point of view is wrong.
So, apparently you don’t like it when someone “ignores the facts” to support your point of view, and you claim that Jenkins sucked with Vick and he sucks with Ryan.
Just ain’t so, Poop.
2005-2006 with MV7 heaving it to him (2004 he didn’t play much):
30 games
75 receptions (2.5 receptions/game)
944 yards (12.6 YPC)
10 touchdowns
2008-2010 almost exclusively with Ryan (yes I know Redman filled in a couple of games)
42 games
141 receptions (3.4 receptions/game)
1,917 yards (13.6 YPC)
6 TD
So, let’s review. About 1 more reception per game with Ryan. 1 more YPC with Ryan. Yes, fewer touchdowns…but we all know that the emergence of White as a star and the acquisition of Gonzalez led to that, right? So, it is undeniable that Jenkins has performed much better with Ryan than with Vick (as has White). But that doesn’t refute your assertion, necessarily, as Jenkins’ improved performance with Ryan might still objectively “suck” right?
Using this year as a benchmark, Jenkins’ 13.6 YPC under Ryan would place him with Devery Henderson and James Jones, at 34/35th ranked among qualified receivers…or a fairly highly ranked #2 receiver (assuming each of the 32 teams has 3-4 wideouts). I would say that definitely does not suck. Jenkins’ 12.6 YPC with Vick would place him 50th among qualified wideouts this year, or near the bottom of “second receiver status”. I would still say that doesn’t suck…but it is getting close to being labeled as poor to mediocre, at best. If you go back to 2005 and 2006, when Jenkins was actually playing with Vick, that 12.6 YPC would have placed him an even poorer 55th/56th among qualified receivers.
So, while not a total refutation of your assertion Poop, pretty darn close. Try again on the Jenkins angle.

And “apologist” does not = “defend!” And that is not “hedging,” it is called a definition for a reason… They stink, putting 5 rotten fish heads (D. White, Hartwell, Jenkins, a young White, and Horn) in a bag just means there was going to be more odor…
ijonathan
September 27th, 2012

Okay, so Jenkins was a below average #2 receiver (based on certain stats) with Vick, and an above average #2 receiver with Ryan (again, based on some stats).
Looking at Jenkins stats with Ryan, can you truly say that he “sucks”…which is apparently what Najeh was saying and I was attempting to refute?
Claiming someone doesn’t “suck” isn’t the same as giving a full-throated defense.
Oh, and I know I have NEVER said anything remotely good about Price or Dez White. Not sure which of your meds caused that hallucination.
Good effort JSS, but alas a fail.

I don’t have the energy to try to explain to an idiot like you how it wasn’t the case of a poor supporting cast (including coaches) holding back the greatness that was Mike Vick. First of all, if everyone was so terrible, how did the Falcons win a couple of playoff games? Second, Vick has admitted he half-assed it during his time in Atlanta in terms of maximizing his immense talent.
You try to hide your biases and ignorance using flowery language and pseudo coach speak…ultimately you are no better than MCR, VS1/2 and others.

No tiring than you… They won two different playoff games on two different occasions because they played to the strength, ran it down the Rams throat in ‘05 at the Dome… The ‘02 GB game, they spread the Packers out and even with that sorry receiving corps with Shawn Jefferson leading the way took it to them… Being awful doesn’t keep you from winning playoff games… As you and your ilk love to rub in Saints fans face, the single asset Seahawks proved that… Mershawn Lynch proved that one… Heck, I saw the 85 Rams almost make a Super Bowl with the only thing that can described as the 1957 Baltimore Colts offense… Your form of contrarian mess stinks just like everyone else!

Are you seriously saying that those Falcons teams that won playoff games were “awful”? Your arguments and trains of thought have more detours and flip-flops than certain presidential candidates.

We beat Virginia by 36 (should have been 43) – so I find it funny that one reader would say we won’t cover 27 vs Mid Tenn St? The only way we don’t is if the coach puts in the 2nd and 3rd string in early.

UT and Dooley have to win or it’s over for Derek at UT. With that said UGA wins in a good battle. UT just doesn’t have enough players on defense to last a full 4 qtrs. Now if UGA doesn’t protect the ball things could get interesting.
Don’t see Bama covering the spread but you never know when the opposition will go into the tank once victory isn’t apart of the process. Football (college) is a strange game just loook at Washington taking down Stanford last night! Really LSU beat the Huskies like a redheaded stepchild yet they looked like the stepchild vs Trailer Robbing U last week.
The word is real strong that Henry will select Bama today. Nick has a plan for the kid no doubt but it’s hard to understand where all these RB’s will play….when they will play I should have said.

Turnover battle will be huge in this game. UGA is 11th in INTs with 2 and UT is 2nd with 8. Murray is also prone to throwing picks in big games. This factor will be big.
UT also gives up by far the fewest sacks in the sec, which is the thing that makes UGA’s D work. If they cant pressure Bray, UT will put up points.
On the surface UGA should win this game easy, but when you dive deeper this will be a much better matchup than most realize. The fact that UGA is probably a little overrated and UT is underrated, combined with the fact that UT has zero pressure to win this game, will make it very interesting.

Interesting ….
UGA, at 4-0, has played the 114th toughest schedule thus far.
I won’t be surprised if UGA were to win, even win big. Just as much as I won’t be surprised when, IMO, UT wins by double-digits.

Real winning teams don’t keep a qb around after 4 straight years of playoff failure.
If Vick loses his job in Philly (which he won’t) it’s not the end of the world. But in Atlanta they are so afraid to hurt CHOKE’s delicate feelings by having a qb competition.

That SOS of 114 is actually in the top half because the Sagarin system is using all levels of CFB. Notice that FSU is 176. Vandy and MO are the top SEC teams in SOS because they have played UGA and SC.

Right now Vick has a 66 QB rating, while AJ FEeley and Ty Detmer both had a 69 and 74. So essentially, right now, VICK IS PLAYING WORST THEN AJ FEELEY. ITS PATHETIC.

Eric C,
No, they dont have any pressure. No one around the Tennessee program has picked them to beat UGA or Bama at any time. There is no expectation for them to win. All Dooley has to do is get to 8 wins and his seat will be cool. They are 3-1, with probably losses at UGA, Bama and USC, easier games against Troy, Vanderbilt and UK. That would put them at 6-4 and leaves MSU and Mizzou as the swing games to get to 8. Both of those are winnable.
Tennessee and Dooley play at UGA with house money.

@Matt “CHOKE” Ryan….Any road game In the NFL Is a tough game…This must really hurt your psyche that the Falcons are doing well. You KNOW It would be tough for anybody to go Into a 2-0 teams backyard and beat them….If Atlanta beat the 49’s or the Steelers on the road right now…you would still have something negative to say…hell..for that matter If the Falcons won the Super Bowl..you would still call us losersville and we we’re lucky…We are not DELUSIONAL.We are simply enjoying our teams early season success.BTW I don’t care If the AFC West Is 5-7.San Diego was 2-0 when we went out there and we smoked um’…we’ve suffered long enough…It’s our time now and you can’t handle It and because of your attitude that makes me warm and fuzzy…

If they have already started playing with house money this early in the year, then they will not win more than 6 games…and UGA will give them a big beat-down.

No qb is above being benched – only in Falcant land is that not the rational thinking.
If Vick gets benched in Philly, well he didn’t get the job done. If you don’t get a playoff win in 4 straight years as a starter of any football team you need to be benched.
CHOKE…..not so much. That’s why its been 9 years since the last playoff Vicktory…….

I like to think some of the problem with losing in the playoffs comes because of Matt Ryan’s inexperience but has more to do with Mike Smith’s inexperience and our bad OC & DC. Mike Smith has more experience now and has learned to stay out of the way of these better coordinators way and do only his head coach duties.
