GOOD MORNING SKA USERS. IT’S TUESDAY AND THAT MEANS IT’S TIME TO ARM YOURSELVES… WITH KNOWLEDGE!!!
What a terrific weekend – full of Football, and Stats, and Chili Dogs, and Joy. The way it was meant to be!!
We’re heading into the final stretch of the season, and I can barely contain my enthusiasm. The next four weeks promise to be full of action packed rivalry games and multi-colored Knowledge Tables.
Ratings might be down on Mondays and Thursdays, but Tuesday Mornings are just as popular as ever!! Now let’s see some STATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What’s Changed?
The Carolina Panthers were 3-0 against the NFCW, looking for a clean sweep this past weekend. But it was not meant to be!! The Seahawks survived injuries, penalties and the incompetent Venus Flytrap of Death that they call an O-line, and pulled off another blowout win on Prime Time. In the last six quarters against Carolina (including playoffs) Seattle has outscored the Panthers 64-7. What do they know that the rest of the division doesn’t??
Carolina WAS 2nd in Rushing Defense going into the matchup. Even without superstar LB Luke Kuechly, the Panthers held the Oakland Raiders to 1.8 yards per carry just a week ago. But they were no match for Thomas Rawls.
In fact, in their last three games, the Seahawks are averaging 173 rushing yards per game – A stark contrast from their woeful struggles earlier in the season. This has given the Seattle Offense a much-needed boost at just the right time in the season, proving once again that they are a Team of Destiny.
The Seahawks’ #1 Scoring Defense still gets to face Arizona and Los Angeles at home. Those awful teams are averaging 7.5 points per game against Seattle this year. And, of course, they get to return to their home-away-from-home, Levi’s Stadium, where they are 2-0 and allow an astonishing THREE POINTS PER GAME. Should be a fun way for the Boys in Blue to wrap up another incredible Regular Season.
My Analysis:
Elsewhere in the Division, the Rams have been officially eliminated from playoff contention for two more years.
Lovable Owner Jeff Kroenke inexplicable extended Jeff Fisher’s contract several weeks ago, but he was too embarrassed to announce it to the public. And who could blame him? His Rams are 25th in Win Percentage since Fisher took over in 2012. They do OK against NFCW opponents, but that doesn’t make up for their 18-47 record in games played outside the Division.
This year, the LA Offense doesn’t rank in the Top-20 of ANY CATEGORY sanctioned by The Real BKOB Report. This Contract Extension is an affront to Knowledge itself!!
Meanwhile, in Santa Clara, I assume the children of 49er Players are being picked on a lot at school. Can you imagine those playground altercations? “Leave me alone, my dad is an NFL player!!’ “PSSH! Your dad is a 49er!! Just look at these Knowledge Tables!!” Children can be so cruel – and so can Knowledge.
Colin Kaepernick was benched for Blaine Gabbert, again. Um, excuse me Mr. Kelly, but did you not even READ Adu’s articles??!! Kaepernick is the best QB in NFCW History!! Adu paid hard earned money for those EPA charts, and you’re just going to IGNORE THEM?? What kind of a name is “Chip” anyway???
Then again, benching Kaepernick did wonders for Chip’s predecessor. At this point last year, Jim Tomsula’s crew had won 4 games and were about to go on an epic 1-3 streak to wrap up the Season. Now that guy was a coach! He knew how to ruin a team’s draft stock better than anyone this side of Bruce Arians! Hopefully Chip gets it figured out with Gabbo under center.
And now, how about your feedback? Fisher had me banned from the sidelines for posting his stats. I guess I’m doing something right!!
Thank you, and always remember: Kill… Danny… O’neil…………………..
