A few observations about the NFL that I have noticed recently…there is a trend here….
Denver Broncos: I remember the huge win they had against the Patriots. I remember their young brash (read that as stupid) coach running around the field after the game screaming into the crowd…acting like they had just won the Super Bowl. Flash forward, 3 straight losses, the last to the Redskins…their QB is injured…the wheels are falling off the cart. San Diego has a very good chance of overtaking them and winning the division.
New York Jets: Its still the offseason, not even the preseason and their fat head coach is calling out the Patriots. Talking like the Jets are the team to beat, acting like the fat bully he is. I remember early on in the season, a tough win against the Patriots…the media going crazy…the Jets are a hot team. Flash forward, 5 straight losses…the season basically over. Rex Ryan needs to remember that the season is 16 games long…the Patriots have the last laugh.
Lastly, I just want to say that I hope I don’t see Bryan Westbrook for the rest of the season. Not because I don’t like him…the opposite. Two concussions in 3 weeks are too much!! Take the rest of the season off and get better. Get well!!
Now, we all see the trend. The media buy into it and propagate it. Early season success does not mean anything. Both the Jets and Broncos won early and have melted. For the Broncos, I am pretty sure their Super Bowl was when they beat the Pats. Same for the Jets…it’s a shame really. It’s a long race….teams like the Colts, Patriots, and Steelers don’t fall into the weekly trap. My last word for the Broncos and Jets…when you win a regular season game, act like you have done it before!!

I think westbrook may have to retire.
And of course the media hops on the most brash, cocky figures to frame stories. It’s boring for them to continue praising the consistent excellence of a team like the Colts. It makes them look silly weeks later as you pointed out.
