Yes, you guessed it, …a list of the most boring things in the entire world.
A season that had promise to be a stomach-twisting slalom of nail-biting ineptitude, crazy roster decisions, locker room freakouts, and dazzling self-inflicted collapses has turned into a dull, slowly improving yet horribly limited parade.
We can’t get excited about the team’s prospects because they look very dim for the immediate and near future, yet we can’t emotionally profit from the venting that a Denny Green type season would afford us.
So, we watch, they play, and every week I end up with nothing to say.
The only somewhat interesting thought that came into my head while watching David Martin inexplicably perform like a legitimate NFL tight-end was, “Is he in a contract year?”
Answer: YES.
So, they are in good shape to hit my prediction of 5 wins, they might even pull out one more. But the competition they face from here on out is tougher than the competition they've faced so far.
I think they will beat my prediction and win three more games, losing six more for a pathetic and boring 6-10 record.
Just bad enough to have no hope, just good enough to avoid having to say "They are who we thought they were!"
In other words, ...boring.
