The Student of the GameGoing Beyond the Stats

Round out the 8th and final of the divisions, the SoTG and Chris talk up the AFC East.

Upsets, Surprises and Expectations about the NFL. And the SoTG are bringing all they can for the featured teams in week 2.

I’ve seen the headlines of the ridiculous already referring to ‘Brady Magic’ (see NFL.com’s homepage within in 1 hour following the game in question), but to those of us who actually watched the game without falling for the flash emanating from New England Patriots QB Tom Brady’s Super Bowl Rings, his ‘Golden Boy’ persona, or the lights of the cameras tracking every moment of his return from injury, we would know that he wasn’t the true game changer in the 25-24 teeth-skinning victory past the Buffalo Bills.

Who knew that surprise, disappointment, and mediocrity could live all in one place at the same time? With '1win' teams becoming '11 win' teams ('Phins) keeping other 11 win teams out of the playoffs (Patriots - who are usually a stable for post season play) whilst the other 2 teams quibble with consistency issues (Bills and Jets), there's no WAY it can happen like that again . . . can it? The SoTG and Weasel will let you know.
