NFL Open Thread

I’ve been largely silent about the NFL for the past couple of weeks, mostly because I don’t know what to make of anything that’s happening. I only saw the first half of last week’s Giants game, where it looked like they had reverted to their early-season form, but then they exploded in the second half, while I was in a meeting. I thought the Packers had the Bears beat, and they blew it, and I thought Dallas was dead on Monday, but somehow they came back.

What does it all mean? Hell if I know.

Anyway, in lieu of insightful commentary from me, consider this an open thread about everything football-related. Some sample questions if you don’t know where to start:

— The Giants’ resurgence: done with mirrors, or done with smoke?

— Were the Packers exposed as posers, or are the Bears actually back to playing like a good team?

— Is New England going to put a whipping on Dallas, or is that too obvious to pan out?

— Is South Africa going to beat Argentina in the Southern Hemisphere smackdown, or will the Argentines advance to face England in the final?

Have at it.
