The Chiefs - who were previously the last undefeated team in the league - suffered their first loss this week against Indianapolis. The Colts have had a very mediocre year, while the Chiefs have shocked us all. Hopefully, Indianapolis can get back on track.
Detroit and St. Louis, two of the worst teams in the NFL, played on Sunday, and it turns out Detroit is closer to recovery than the Rams. The Lions defeated the Rams in a 44-6 blowout, even though Matthew Stafford is still injured.
Unfortunately, the Bears beat the winless Panthers, putting Chicago at the top of the NFC North standings. The Packers, however, are close behind, while Minnesota's chances are questionable. Brett Favre's right elbow is hurting so much it may end his 289-game starting streak, and they lost to the Jets on Monday Night, 20-29.
Washington gave Green Bay their second loss on Sunday, and I hate to say it, but my optimism is officially gone.
Two of our stars, Aaron Rodgers and Jermichael Finley, were injured in our overtime loss. Rodgers will likely miss only one game, but Finley will probably be out for the remainder of the season.
We'll definitely need Finley and Rodgers on offense, because our defense doesn't look its best. We deteriorated against Donovan McNabb and the Redskins. After a missed would-be game-winning field goal, we just couldn't stop the Washington offense in overtime, and they kicked an easy field goal to win.
If we defeat Miami next week, perhaps some of my foolish optimism will return, but until then, I'll be disgusted.
GO PACK GO!
Don't lose your optimism! I'm sure you could find something positive about this season. If not, ask Daddy. He's good at that!
