The Great vs The Worst
HEY EVERYONE
In the last six weeks we have learned that not everything is as we thought it was. Going into the season the NFC EAST was given the fortunate schedule of playing the weak AFC WEST. I myself would have give the NFC EAST a minimum of 10 win of the 16 it is scheduled to play. In week 3 the Eagles beat the Chiefs giving the East a 1-0 lead. Then in week four the Chiefs lost to the Giants while the Broncos beat the Cowboys. In week five the cowboys won in overtime over the Chiefs while the Giants won over the raiders. East 4- West 1. Then in week six we saw the Raiders beat the Eagles and the Chiefs beat the redskins to make it 4-3 East. In week nine the Chargers play their first inter-conference match-up against the Giants in NY while in week ten the Broncos play the redskins.
I could go on, but i guess what we can take with us after 6 weeks of football is that all the research and match up breakdowns we do pre-season and even before each game can change in a heartbeat. Before the season started everyone was predicting that the Titans would win their division and the Colts might miss the playoffs. I myself thought the opposite because of the manning factor. And really, the biggest surprise is that the Titans are 0-6 and lost 59-0 this week while the Broncos are 6-0.
The point of this is to not always write off the weak or crown the strong as on any given Sunday the best can fall to the worst as it is still played by men who make mistakes and can empower themselves to do extraordinary things. As we sit on our couches and yell at the players for their faults and at the refs for losing our team the games we must remember that if every game was to finish the way we all predict none of us would have a reason to watch the games.
