What irks me, is that if Cin. lays down the NYJ’s got in with two late season tainted wins. Basically a 7-9 team got into the playoffs.
Oh yeah. That wouldn’t be a first, of course. This is also why I don’t think the NFL season needs to be any longer than 16 games - there would be a lot more of these meaningless wins by bubble teams, since top teams will probably have clinched their divisions and playoff spots with a lot more games left on the schedule.
Well the Ain’ts got their teeth kicked in (again) today by a mediocre team, while my ‘Boys beat the living crap out of a flock of birds that HAD won 6 straight games...
Don’t get me wrong - I am not rubbing it in about N.O. - you know I like Brees a lot - but one week layoff or no, this has to cause some very serious pause for thought.
Brees is as good as we both know him to be - problem is, the rest of their lineup is not. Cowboys are as good as a thought, and better than anyone has seen them yet play - although I will admit - shutting out two teams in a row is a pretty impressive feat.
Encore beating to be administered to the eagles, next Sunday in Dallas...score subject to change without notice!
I hope Brees and Co can regroup on their weekend off.
