And the kaleidoscope changes again

Just when we think we have the NFL figured out...well actually we didn't think that at any point. But, no league can confuse us week-to-week like the NFL. The Cowboys lose to Cardinals, and the Redskins lose to the (no longer) winless Rams. The only team that looks to be a sure thing this season is the Giants, and I'm certain they'll have at least one or two bad games before the regular season is over. I mean, no team goes 16-0 in a season without cheating.

One thing is looking like a lock though. Both the Cardinals and Patriots this season decided to stay on the opposite coast for a week in between road games. For the Cardinals, they played the Redskins, stayed east, then played the Jets. The Patriots played the 49ers, stayed out west for a week, then faced the Chargers. Each team was crushed in that 2nd game. I don't think we'll be seeing any teams trying that strategy again. It's not like the old days when teams had to ride on trains for days to travel to these places. Inconveniencing your team for a week, to save a couple 4-hour flights? I just don't understand it.

You are like Bob McMananahhhan! Except the opposite!

And now, after Monday night's loss, the Giants by my count still have at least zero or one bad games remaining this season.
