Meanwhile the Pats could have an undefeated preseason. All they have to do is win against the Giants... Does anyone care?

We were down our summer cottage with our grandmother and cousins. She remembered going from horse and buggy being state of the art in her youth to the moon years. My sister stole my Apollo scale models for the cake. Didn't get any sleep but for once the parents didn't complain. I understand...

Walk, Eagles, Walk? Defenses have an advantage early in a game when they go all out. They generally do late in the playoffs. The Patriots are more even paced. In the fourth quarter they generally take advantage of the opponent's exhaustion. We will see how the Eagles play. Last time we met...

Good summary. You only missed on watching millionaires slowly kill each other's brain cells.

Attitude? They believe a bit too much in attitude and miracles. If they can find a real attitude, who knows, the rest might follow.

Coaches The impression I have is they will all move on by the time their reputation is made, and proceed to do less well not under the master's eye. Someday, though, Houston will win one. ;)

Injuries Yep. For all the intense effort of Super Bowl LI, the team that ends up champion is often the least injured. They loaded up this year with potential good receivers, but seem to have counted on defensive players staying healthy. We'll have to wait and see.

Again Oh, the Chief's beat the Patriots, again, and ended the Brady dynasty, again. I hate it when that happens.

I do appreciate the big horns dotting the 'i' though.

Boldin Every once in a while you do pull in a Seau sort of guy who has something left in the tank in the end. Boldin doesn't impress me as one of these people. For Wilfolk I would have gotten sentimental perhaps and dreamed of days past. Not Boldin.

Giants Off the top of my head, 2007. The Giants were one of the stouter risks to the perfect regular season, but lost... in the regular season.

It must be in the rules, somewhere... You have to know the context. The opposing player had just made a game winning interception on a pass play called by Hayes. Geez. Doesn't everybody know? When you are in game winning field goal range, you don't throw a pass?

Most immediate challenge? Next week's opponent?

Out of character, I know... I don't know. I'd kind of like to see them with a Super Bowl for once comfortably, without last minute heroics?

A mention... I doubt any way to find a 'winner', but I'll give Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor a mention.
