Re: NFL Swampcrash 2023 - Week 4
Welcome Swampcrash fans! It's week 4 and boy do we have a great slate of games for everyone. What are you guys focusing on today?
I'm going to be paying attention to the secondary, specifically how Sybian's secondary handles GPJ's overachieving offense. Who wants it more out there?
Is anyone going to talk about the quarterbacks? These guys touch the ball every play. The center snaps it to them after they say hut and then they run the offense. Rush has been playing with precision but has caught some unlucky breaks. He needs to keep it up and the wins will follow.
OMG! Whoa! Phwahhh
Wonderful! We're going to take a quick commercial break but we'll be right back to get to the kickoffs.
Hi, I'm Ryan Fitzpatrick. Have you tried Gushers? It's a fruit snack with fruit in it! It gushes out! Try some gushers!
Thanks Ryan Fitzpatrick!
Hey hey, it's Ryan Fitzpatrick. Do you have lupus? Try Pepcid AC! It won't cure your lupus but it will fix your heartburn.
Hey look, another Ryan Fitzpatrick commercial.
