| I am also suprised by Dallas. Bledsoe has an offensive line for the first time in 10 years.
The Patriots are actually all that suprising of a team when you consider they have lost the following.
Offensive Coordinator.
Defensive Coordinator.
Ted Johnson - retired two days before camp opened.
Ted Bruschi - Stroke in the offseason, just now practicing.
Matt Light - Broken Leg
Rodney Harrison - Torn ACL - out for year.
the list goes on and on. Unfortuenetly the comments that Marty SChottenhiemer made were dead on "There are only so many holes in a damn that you can clog before the water just breaks through and there is nothing you can do about it"
Its just shit luck. I would suggest all NFL teams get their ducks in a row and go for it before the Pats get their players back.
Also, the Chargers have suprised me. Not because they are good or bad, but because of their complete lack of consistency. They can beat the best team in the league, but then end up losing to some shitheads.
Also, the Giants. Man, they look impressive. I am a big Eli Manning fan for some reason. Dunno why really, but something about the Giants is fun to watch. |
