The worst thing about this past weekend is that someone had to win the Philadelphia – Detroit and St. Louis – Oakland games. If there was ever a time for a surgical meteor strike or two, this was it.
The best thing about this past weekend is that the Manning Bowl is, mercifully, over.
During my intermittent watching of the games this weekend, I heard someone claim that the Cowboys were favorites to go to the Super Bowl this season. Of course, this year’s Super Bowl is in the Jerry Dome. Now, the idea that the Cowboys were Super Bowl favorites this year was news to me…
The more I think about it, though (and I try not to think about it for very long, because Houston teams will always find a way to break your heart), wouldn’t it be wonderfully fitting if a team from Texas did play in the Super Bowl this year…and it wasn’t the Cowboys?
NFL teams that still have a chance to go 0-16:
Buffalo
Cleveland
Dallas
Minnesota
Detroit
Carolina
San Francisco
St. Louis
