Week 9

Here we sit midway thru the season at 4-3, tied with Chicago for our division. Our playoff hopes are starting to fade at the edges. We've fought hard but yet not good enough. As we look ahead at the rest of the season there are a few games with questionable outcomes but we have our work cut out for us. Then you look at the Vikings and well, they don't. How is it that they have such a soft season? I thought teams were to be challenged? That the idea was more about the football than giving teams easy outs? I hear the rebuttal that scheduling is non-bias that any given sunday blah blah blah. But really when you look at the Vikings schedule it's no wonder they are 7-1 (though I had hoped it'd be 5-3 at the very best). Teams need to up the ante they need to play like it's FOOTBALL. Bring some of the old excitement back to the game, don't give us so clear of a picture of how the game will end. Make it a good one very time.

and in the great words of forrest gump: that's all I have to say about that.
