Yep, quitting is for losers. Which is probably a good reason for us to quit, right?
But no-o-o-o-o-o, despite another disappointing week in Week 6, we’ll keep battling.
And here’s why: If you ever needed proof that in a football game, you must play for 60 minutes, just take a look at what’s happened in the NFL so far this season.
Through the first six weeks of the season, 28 of 88 games (31.8 percent) have been decided by a fourth-quarter comeback. That puts the 2008 season on pace for the highest percentage of games with a fourth-quarter comeback in NFL history.
Never give up, never surrender.
And neither will we.
On to Week 7…
SUNDAY AFTERNOON
San Diego (3-3) at Buffalo Bills (4-1)
Trent Edwards will play so suddenly I like the Bills at home.
Take Buffalo
New Orleans Saints (3-3) at Carolina Panthers (4-2)
The Saints’ Drew Brees leads the NFL in passing yards (1,993) and probably has more tools around him than Jake Delhomme, but I just love the Panthers in Charlotte.
Take Carolina
Minnesota Vikings (3-3) at Chicago Bears (3-3)
If the Bears shut down Adrian Peterson, they’ll blow the Vikings away.
Take Chicago
Pittsburgh Steelers (4-1) at Cincinnati Bengals (0-6)
Ben Roethlisberger might be the toughest player in the NFL. Sunday, he might have an opportunity to put up numbers he never dreamed of.
Take Pittsburgh
Tennessee (5-0) at Kansas City (1-4)
This will be an interesting game. Trouble is, Larry Johnson is sitting out. Still, it’s hard not to like K.C. at home.
Take Kansas City
Baltimore Ravens (2-3) at Miami Dolphins (2-3)
The Dolphins are a better football team.
Take the Miami
San Francisco 49ers (2-4) at New York Giants (4-1)
After getting blasted by Cleveland on Monday Night, the Giants will be angry and ugly and they WILL show up.
Take NY Giants
Dallas Cowboys (4-2) at St. Louis Rams (1-4)
If Tony Romo plays, you have to like the Cowboys, but he’s still doubtful and the Rams were terrific in Washington last week.
Take St. Louis
Detroit Lions (0-5) at Houston Texans (1-4)
Dan Orlovsky?
Take Houston
Indianapolis Colts (3-2) at Green Bay (3-3)
Looks like the old Colts are back.
Take Indianapolis
New York Jets (3-2) at Oakland Raiders (1-4)
Oakland is done. Maybe they should move back to L.A.
Take NY Jets
Cleveland Browns (2-3) at Washington Redskins (4-2)
Can the Browns, on a short week, do to Washington what they did to the Giants. Wouldn’t bet on it.
Take Washington
SUNDAY NIGHT
Seattle Seahawks (1-4) at Tampa Bay (4-2)
It’s Seneca Wallace vs. Jeff Garcia. After last week, I’ll take Garcia.
Take Tampa Bay
MONDAY NIGHT
Denver Broncos (4-2) at New England (3-2)
This is potentially, one of the best Monday Nighters of the year. This could also be Matt Cassel’s coming out party,
Take New England.
Last week: 7-7
Season: 45-43
