Football

The football season is already half way through and there are the teams that have no chance making the playoffs the teams on the outside but still have a good chance and the for sure teams. One team that has surprised most of us has to be the Dallas Cowboys. Aren't they the ones who are supposed the win the NFC and go to the super bowl at their own stadium. When the beginning of the season everyone thought if a team was going to the super bowl at their stadium it had to be the Cowboys. But lets get back to reality. The 'boys are 1-4 that is the same record as the Browns, Lions, and even worse than the Rams. All of these teams had picks last year in the top ten spots. (Hint) Not the teams you want to be compared to. Everybody is saying oh its okay they will dig themselves out of it, they'll be fine, there going to win their division still. Well if they played in the NFC West I might believe that fact otherwise I don't even understand the reasoning. The Redskins have a better record and have beaten the Cowboys. The Giants have been playing the best football of their year lately in their wins over the Texans and the Lions. The offense is clicking and are opening up the field. Then there is the Eagles, this is the team that traded Donavon McNabb and everybody, including me, thought this was going to be a rebuilding year. It has been the exact opposite Kevin Kolb and Michael Vick have looked great in their respective starts and with Jackson and Maclin receiving the ball and McCoy running they look as good as ever. Their defense is always going to be solid with the special blitz packages they can throw out there at any time. Also the Cowboys with their 1-4 record have a percentage that backs up my statement, teams that start out 1-4 have a 5% chance of making the playoffs and if you think that they will be okay then I guess the Lions and Browns should still believe they are making the playoffs as well.
