let's start with the lows. My beloved St. Louis Rams got abused again by an NFC East team. Do not get me wrong. Those are great teams. Philly finally has a healthy Donovan McNabb. And the NY Giants are the defending Super Bowl champions. But seriously, the Rams do not have any plays inside the opponents' respective Red Zones at all.
There is something seriously wrong in that organization. And I'm not sure where the problem lies. If I'm being honest, it's probably at every level. Since their Super Bowl loss, they seem to have embraced a culture of losing. And when losing is described in terms of a "culture", you know the problem is systemic and not just a couple of isolated proverbial bad apples.
People are clamoring for head coach Scott Linehan to be fired. I'm not sure how I feel about this. I mean, I don't want anybody to lose their job in this economy. On the other hand, changes do need to be made and they should start somewhere. That's not to say that firing Coach Linehan is the answer. Like I said, this is a culture of losing. In that case, everyone should be on notice.
The highs: My adopted AFC team, the Buffalo Bills, is now 2-0. At least I have that to look forward to this season.
Kickers are better than ever, but the record pace of long attempts this
season has been remarkable.
