Wild games, gutsy calls, Bill Belichick and Tom Brady's unflappable hair...

Wow!  What a week of wild NFL games, gutsy calls and another escape by Tom Brady's flowing locks of luck.  As another week goes by I realize more and more that the NFL is full of parity.  Every team this season seems to be up and down with no clear cut favorite, except the damn Jets and Steelers, but lets face it who really cares about the Jets and Steelers.  In New York, no one has time for the Jets as they will continue to mourn the Yankees loss until free agency starts and the checkbook opens yet again.  In Pittsburgh, fans are too busy worrying about quarterbacks in bathroom stalls to realize the Steeler season so far.  It seems to me that every team has had its moments and that this might be the year that multiple .500 teams get into the playoffs.  I love the fact that as every week passes I try to pick winners, watch games and then sit back in amazement as underdogs put up high scores, super powers struggle and teams win in the strangest ways.

This leads me to my favorite team, the New England Patriots...  I have always believed in Coach Belichick's decision making but seriously fourth and one and they go for it with the game on the line!  I can see putting the game in Tom Brady's hands, but his flowing locks of luck eventually might run out, and we need those locks in the playoffs.  Granted in the end it all worked out due to another shitty kickers leg.  Do you realize they only have one job?  However as I complain about kickers, they saved the victory for them today.  Whether it's a coaches decision, referee's call or a player's inability to do their job, this season will continue to be interesting until the very end!  I look forward to each passing week to see how the hell I can be shocked out of my seat and sent into a head banging swearing frenzy...  That is until I look over at my wife's face of disbelief and I return calmly to my spot on the couch!
