Yeah, I'm kinda surprised at how fast your compadres are pushing the
panic button over there. Maybe they're too used to being on top of
the division? If the playoffs started today, the Raiders would be in,
but you wouldn't know it by reading what some of those guys are
saying.

Hadn't even thought about it being KC's second in a row. But both games
going into OT could be an indicator of how tough the AFCW is going to be
this year. Any team from the AFCW that makes the playoffs has an excellent
chance of winning the whole thing, IMO. KC would need to make some huge
gains on the defensive side of the ball though.

I don't think they need huge gains. They've lost four games by a
combined 14 points. If they could improve their defense from
"horrible" to just "bad" they'd be in fat city. Fortunately (for us),
I don't think they can do that with the personnell they have.

I think the panic button is very enticing right now. The team is
making mistakes in every area, including coaching. No not Callahan,
Bresnahan the DC. He's gone into milquetoast mode instead of
attacking. That was a big problem for the Raiders last year as well.

They might win/have won more games but I don't think they would go far in
the playoffs with the last ranked D. Even with a D ranked in the middle
somewhere like say 16th.

Is there one team in the NFL that you see as unbeatable this year? I can't
remember another season being quite this wide open. So sure I think that before
we play any team that we have a good chance to win and I think this is
reasonable too. Whist we are the subject of realism, I'll be revising my
prediction of the Raiders ending up 12-4 shortly after seeing our injury report
for this week.

It's a little of all of the above minus paying someone else and being fast.
Practice makes better when searching. Some of it has to do with saving links
from other searches and organizing them. The site I'm using to look up all
the bye weeks is really good for all kinds of stuff and its format is pretty
easy to scroll through a season's worth of games. Check it out if you
haven't before. I got it in here from Adam or MZB:

I appreciate the effort anyway, Sam. I'm thinking about going out to
Foxboro Sunday anyway and looking for a scalper.
My dad's in Sharon, which is a tiny little town about 10-15 miles west
of White River Junction/Lebanon/Hanover. He and his wife have a nice
place in the mountains surrounded by nothing but trees. It's a great

Pollyanna-osity aside, the last team I saw that I thought had a shot

The idea of one's team going undefeated has little grounding in
level-headed realism; it deals in the Walter Mitty-ish aspects of life
for the most part. But the way I see it, if you lose that you've lost
the best part of life.
So you're thinking what for the Raiders? 8-8? 6-10?

Cartoon character, Gare, not cartoonish. But that's a good guess

In a vaccum, the 1998 Broncos were as unbeatable a team since the 1985
Bears, but as the pressure of an undefeated season mounts, the team starts
to play differently.
That said, nobody's going to go undefeated. Not the 98 Broncos, not some
hot team that starts out 7-0 by blowing everyone out...it's just not going
to happen.
And I'm pulling out gratuitous anti-Pollyanna points:

Remember that same year, the Vikes looked just as unbeatable. I detested
that "bomb it to Moss!" gameplan. They ended up besting Denver's record,
15-1. Everyone thought that surely one of them would go 16-0, and one of
them *had* to win the SB (the latter of course was true). I actually feared
seeing Minnesota in the SB and laughed heartily when Anderson missed his
first kick of the year to lose to Atlanta.
The funny thing is that everyone thought that the Miami game was the one
place Denver might slip up. Oh well, NYG surprisingly beat them to the
punch a week prior to kill all the talk about the fans using red
laser-pointers in Elway's eyes. You know... that thing they ban on city
buses because of kids pointing them at oncoming drivers at night. Sure,
Miami still beat them, but at that point, who cared? The rest of the AFCW
was fighting to get to .500 after getting slapped around by Denver and
others.
Those were the days. Kinda. Have a pretty good squad now too.

The funny thing is that this post marked the first (and only) time I've
ever received a death threat over an internet posting. A militant
Pollyanna told me I was too stupid to live and he was going to find me and

This is absolutely one hundred percent correct. It is actually not an
irrational thought because it HAS happened before. Add to this that the
last three SB winners basically came out of nowhere... so if your team
has good talent in the skill positions, and has played with some degree
of consistency in the recent future, why not? The only common
denominator of the last three SB winners has been a lack of injuries
and/or the people that have taken over for the injured players has
stepped it up a notch (Brady, Warner.)

Yeah. You sound surprised. There are low-lifes everywhere...hell, look at
Swami and some of the other idiots who've been romping around ASFPOR.
Those guys are much worse. Just a 13 year old with internet access and no
brain. Stupidity comes in all forms.

So you're posting from a laptop on a Greyhound bus from somewhere to

How will they know when they're done shooting? Nothing changes. This

all, and Cinci is wrecking the curve.

The Broncos are obviously on their way toward righting their ship and going
undefeated for the remained of the season. All of the losses were due to
simple mental mistakes that can easily be rectified. They are by far the
best team in the league. The question isn't whether they will beat the
Raiders but by how much.
How's that? :)

Sensors didn't even twinge on this. The new ZRT model of the Polyanna Meter
has a "you gotta be forking kidding me sensor installed" to ferret out all
false Polyannaisms. If it makes you feel any better, you can consider yourself
under surveillance now..

Wow, you're getting this down to a science. I'll have to see if I can catch
you off guard sometime to test the ygbfkm sensor. That ZRT model is pretty
slick, though.
