The Savior is Here!

After a 76.4 - 122.7 loss to division leader Ante Up this past week, the Dirty Birds are in desperate straits. Despite a roster featuring the likes of Adrian Peterson, Roddy White, Larry Fitzgerald, Miles Austin, Dwayne Bowe, and Rob Gronkowski, the Birds are have only two wins and three straight losses.

Keeper RB Knowshon Moreno has proven to be a huge bust (again) and while Darren Sproles and Mike Tolbert have their uses, this team needs an injection of leadership and ground game. Welcome to the Tim Tebow era! Needing to find an answer after suffering through Ben Roethlisberger and the recently released Josh Freeman, GM Jon scooped up the Tebow last week and quickly got him up to speed on the play book. Management is hoping that Tebow is the second coming of Michael Vick / Cam Newton and fan interest is already up 210%.

A team executive spoke off the record. "After missing the playoffs last year with this stellar roster, we can't afford to miss it again this season. My mom would kick my ass if I had all these great players and didn't get into the post-season."

One reason floated for the Dirty Birds' early season struggles is a tough schedule. So far, the Birds have faced the hardest schedule in the league by a landslide and faced opponents scoring 120+ points in four of the first six weeks. Here's hoping that the WK7 matchup against Chunky Monkeys will start the turnaround, as the Jon smoked Evan 156 - 127.80 in WK2 before going 1-3 right afterwards.

Te-bow! Te-bow! Te-bow!
