What in the name of John Wayne’s underpants is going on here? ( take two )
Yep folks, this is modern day professional football. There are no sure bets; no rhyme or reason.
Everything plays a part in wins and losses. From analytics, to key injuries, to players slipping on the artificial turf, to ultra-slow motion instant replays. The list goes on & on.
If we are the cream of the league, we will eventually rise to the top. If we are not, we simply don't belong there. But there are far too many intangibles to foresee the reasons why any team wins or loses in any given week. Nothing is written in stone. Unusual things happen, both good & bad, to all 32 teams in the NFL.
If we are truly as good as Weeks 1 & 2, there are a lot of fun weeks to come. If we are not, then you'll just have to remind yourself that we have been this way before. But this is why we eagerly anticipate each season and each game... so we can discover who we will be by the time the season rolls up in February.
