Now THAT'S how you lose

Bravo Mike Sherman. You've finally discovered the secret to throwing a football game - let them score at will and take any suspense out of the game within the first two possessions. Several obvious missed tackles and some horribly inept offensive play-calling smells like a thrown game to me. After all, if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck ......

Unfortunately, the 48-3 shellacking of the Packers by the Ravens only counts as one loss and we don't gain any additional ground in the Reggie Bush sweepstakes for our Monday Night faceplant. We have to take care of our own business and lose the next two games against Chicago and Seattle. AND we'll need a couple of wins from Houston and San Francisco and one win from New Orleans and the J-E-T-S. Now that Sherman has opened his eyes to a new alternative, perhaps he can use his powers of persuasion to affect the outcomes of the Saints, Niners, Jets, and Texans. It seems so perfectly simple when the Big Event spells it out in plainspeak.

After all, Christmas is the season when wishes come true, n'est-ce pas?

Joyeux Noel Reggie Bush!
