I'M BACK AND STARTING AGAIN

God I haven't been blogging for a while. Laptops are ridiculously unreliable. Enough of my babbling. Let me talk some football. Well it's been an exciting season so far. Denver, New England, Kansas City, New Orleans, Seattle and Carolina are all big teams this year. Philadelphia are in a close battle with Dallas for the Wild Card position. One thing I'd like to talk about is the AFC West. Last year I did an article on how I believed that the NFC West was the best division in the NFL. Well I'm liking the look of the AFC West this year. Last year the AFC West had Kansas City and Oakland in the division with combined records of 6-26. However this year they have combined records of 12-6. Sadly Oakland account for those losses. So San Diego and Denver are the two other teams are left over. Their combined record is 12-6. I like to think of the NFL as the most versatile sport in terms of improvent and downfall. Here's a perfect example. Almost exactly three years ago I went to Wembley Stadium to see the Denver Broncos @ San Francisco 49ers. At that point, Denver were 2-5 and San Francisco were 1-6. San Francisco were down by a TD in the last quarter and they had a magnificent quarter scoring 3 TD's and having a lead of 14 points winning 24-10. Denver then scored a TD but the extra point was blocked. You may be wondering what the point is in all of this. It was a close exciting end to a game between San Francisco and Denver. Now this fixture three years ago was essentially pointless. Both had already lost all potential and hope for a playoff place, both teams weren't skilful on both sides of the ball. Now ignore that fixture from three years ago and think of what that fixture would mean this Sunday. Denver who lost that game would go into this fixture with a record of 8-1. San Francisco would go in with a record of 6-3. That in comparison to that record of 1-6 and 2-5 we have a record of  6-3 and 8-1. So all together that equals 3-11 - 14-4. Now sorry for the incessant mathematics but this is what I love about American Football. The offseason gives an advantage to these teams that have flopped and those teams that have succeeded the season primarily, are at a disadvantage. The AFC West this season has used that well. Using Jamaal Charles and Alex Smith with a mind like Andy Reid's guiding the Chiefs offence, it's almost common sense that the
Chiefs are undefeated this season. Denver have Manning, Welker, Decker, Moreno, Chromartie and Bailey. Look at that. Just a summarised roster. This is what I'm loving about the AFC West. Even a team that isn't really that strong (San Diego) They have Rivers and Gates. It's a useful offence.
I just believe that the AFC West is one of those divisions that has a Super Bowl snazziness and personality about them.
