Taking off on Lonny's idea.... Almost halfway into the season -- this die-hard NFL fan finds the season almost funny it's so mediocre - consider.....
1) The Houston Texans were tied with Indy at the half 14-14, despite Carr only passing 3 times. Of course in the second half, Carr was sacked three times in a row, fumbling on two of the sacks.
2) At 0-6, the Texans are only 2 games out of the playoff hunt. In fact, 2-4 puts you square in the divisional race in every conference but the NFC East.
3) The Cowboys are 4-3 and in last place in their stout division. Only two unbelievable collapses more reminiscent of a high school team keep the Cowboys from being 6-1, but they are in last place - deserving given their idiotic collapses in two games.
4) The winner of the NFC North could easily be 7-9, maybe even 6-10. Seriously, who in the division is lame enough to win it? How about the 1-5 Packers?
5) The Cowboys and Chargers both lost games yesterday on basic field goal attempts. The Eagles block a kick and return it for a TD against the Chargers, who have figured out a way to lose 4 games by 12 points.
6) No lead is safe enough for the squirrly Broncos - they blow another huge lead (almost as bad as the Boys) and lose to the Giants on the final play.
This league is worse than parity - any team that can string together a couple of wins right now may be a Super Bowl contender.
I much prefer the NCAA version - where the sportswriters decide the National Champs.
