Ross, thank you! You summarized it perfectly. I have had to school MANY of my
friends/family and coworkers on the harsh realities of the NFL. Most have only
watched football for the past 15 years, to put it into perspective. I have been
essentially been restating the obvious for them to hear
1. All NFL teams are capable of beating each other on any given Sunday.
2. Double digit wins is still a very good season, and always was until the Patriots
started routinely racking up 12+ wins.
3. The Patriots aren't going to score on every damn drive.
4. Most seasons are a mixed bag of close calls, painful losses, ass kickings, etc.
5. It used to just be a "W" to go into an opposing stadium and eeking one out. Now,
it's like the sky is falling because they didn't decimate some opponent.
