Let me premise with this....
IT IS TOO EARLY TO MAKE FORMAL CONCLUSIONS
But it is never too early or late for sports fans to discuss any sports topic!!:thumb:
OK......yesterday. Hmmmm. Not much more to say than, many of us felt that a 2 TD win would have been modest given home field, our D, their incompetence/injuries. So The Giants actually swung this thing 4 TDs in the other direction. To sum it up....we were bad.
Our Broncos are 3 and 2, which is no reason to jump into the wagon and leave town. But, losing like we did yesterday has obviously got the alarm bells ringing, and I suspect we will drop a lot in the rankings. We should. It's a loss that makes no sense. Sometimes you lose to the underdog, but usually the game ends up close.
Along this train of thought, The AFC West is not quite living up to date, given some folks were thinking 3 playoff teams from this one division. But let me temper things as follows.....I believe KC is for real, and losing to The Steelers the way they did, is not a huge issue. They lost yes, but Brown's TD was a fluke (and good concentration), and I still think Pittsburgh has enough talent to make the playoffs.
Oakland on the other hand is struggling. Sure, Carr got injured again, but I am not sensing a team with good chemistry right now. And we all know that last year, their D was suspect, outside of one super talented player.
If anything The Chargers are a better team than their record. They lost their first two games, but both were winnable near the end, had their young kicker been more accurate.
Which brings us to the next segment of this thread.....our next 4 games. If yesterday is to be forgiven, we need to make amends quickly, because we have 3 in a row on the road - The Chargers, Eagles and KC. Not easy! Then we come home to await The Pats. I expect us to win that game, but all in all, the next 4 games will be telling. We might be the underdog in 3 of those games, and that's ok. But it will require a much better team to show up.
And The AFC West needs to show up, because at this point, only 1 of the teams looks like a contender.
