everyone says Chicago's schedule is a cakewalk because it's true. any half-decent team should win that division year after year after year after year. I thought that things might be a little different this year, with Minnesota riding some momentum early on in the season, but they seem to be heading back to their lackluster ways. the NFC North has one solid team and a bunch of cupcakes. and this is not said without any bias because the Bears might be my favorite team in the NFC.
in the preseason I picked the Redskins to have a great year and make it deep in the playoffs. it looked like I was going to eat crow but now they seem to be picking themselves up. come on Washington - there is no excuse for you guys not to be a good football club. you have all the ingredients to offer; with a solid coach, a solid running back, a solid defense, and a QB who ages like fine wine.
and what's up with Jax? I am all about the Jags but how did Washington score over 30 points on them? what is even more shocking is how Portis butchered their run defense. to their defense, in sports, coming out of a difficult ball-busting game against an opponent that if you beat it is considered an upset (ex: Colts the week before), it is hard to keep your focus during the following game.
the bye currently for the Pittsburgh Steelers might be the most important bye for any NFL team all year - what with them visiting the Chargers tomorrow night. the Chargers look to be a solid team this year, supported by their mean defense spear-headed by Shaun Merriman, and fronted offensively with nurtured QB Phillip Rivers. this is a must-win game for Pitt and usually I am not caught dead saying that this early in a season of sports.
looks to be some good pro-football tomorrow (if you can avoid the T.O. VS McNabb bull-shit smelling hype, that is
)!!
