On Denver, in some regard I'm glad to see them falling back a bit. They were too strong for this point in the season and a regroup and steady gain would make me more confident.
In a weird way, I agree with you.
Peyton Manning and the Colts had too many 10-0, 12-0, 14-0 starts. They would secure the #1 seed, then rest everyone the last two weeks, then they would be out of sync come playoff time.
Similarly, the Pats are peaking a little early.
Or, they're much better than everyone thought. With Brady and Gronk playing the way they are, I wouldn't want to play them in the postseason, especially in Foxboro.
The Chiefs are right where you want to be, mid twenties and showing strongly.
They are "the little engine that could". How can anyone dislike the Chiefs?
Yes, it is. I have no idea who's going to the Super Bowl.
Is it time for the Colt McCoy fans to start grumbling in Washington?
They've been grumbling since Dan Snyder purchased the team.
Are the Johnny Football birds beginning to chirp in Cleveland?
Not yet. Since 1999, this is the second best record they have had this late in the season. So, I think they're just happy to be where they are right now.
I'm going to the Spurs vs. Cavs this Wednesday in Cleveland. I'll be hanging out at the sports bars before the game, and will get a feel for what the Browns fans think of Johnny Football. I'll let you know.
