losing streak, whatever. Because the season is so short and theres so much time
between games, even short streaks can feel eternal. When they are occurring,
streaks seem as if theyre defining seasons. They are the enemy of
circumspection.Look at the Philadelphia Eagles. Theyre 3-2, but because they had
a bye in Week 4 and have lost two in a row since, it feels like they havent won
in forever. And they kind of havent. When the Eagles take the field on Sunday
against the Vikings, it will have been 28 days since they last won a game. That
feels like a long time because it is.A four-game losing streak in the NFL is the
rough mathematical equivalent of a 20-game losing streak in the NBA or a 40-game
losing streak in Major League Baseball. It is heavy, season-wrecking stuff. In a
league in which?fans live and die with every win and loss, four of either in a
row can really mess with peoples emotions.At the present time, there are four
NFL teams on winning streaks of four games or longer and four teams on losing
streaks of four games or longer. So we present this weeks What We Learned:
Streak Edition.The NFC East is ... back?This week finds the Dallas Cowboys
(current streak: W-5) and Washington Redskins (W-4) in first and second place,
respectively, in the NFC East. But every team in the division is at least .500.
NFC East teams have a combined 11-4 record against teams from other divisions,
including the Eagles Week 3 beatdown of the Steelers and the Cowboys victory in
Green Bay on Sunday. The division hasnt produced multiple playoff teams since
2009, and only one NFC East team (the 2014 Cowboys) has won more than 10 games
in a season since then. But hoo boy, are the teams at the top pushing around
people with their offensive lines. The Cowboys in particular on Sunday showed
they dont care whos in front of them. They rushed for 191 yards against a
Packers team that had allowed a total of 171 in its first four games.Colin
Kaepernick isnt the answer for the 49ers (L-5), because there isnt oneAnyone who
thought Blaine Gabbert was keeping the San Francisco 49ers from becoming the
2007 Patriots should now be able to see
the problems in San Francisco run
much deeper than that one position and
there isnt a quarterback on the
current roster who can save this situation. Not Gabbert, not Christian Ponder,
not Kaepernick, who looked just as erratic -- 13-for-29 passing for 187 yards
and a touchdown -- as he did the last time we saw him on a field. Yeah,
Kaepernick can still run fast, but theres more to playing quarterback than that
-- even when youre playing the position for Chip Kelly.The Vikings (W-5) are in
even better shape than we thoughtThe Minnesota Vikings didnt play this week, but
the Packers loss to the Cowboys means the Vikings come back from their bye with
a two-game lead over a Packers team they beat in Week 2. Yeah, three of their
next four games are on the road. And two of them are against teams from that
resurgent NFC East. But after everything this team endured the first couple of
weeks of the season, you get the feeling they can handle a few road trips. And
the fact that Dr. Evil appears to have traveled back in time to the University
of California, Berkeley in 2003 to steal Aaron Rodgers mojo gives the Vikes a
little bit of an early-season cushion.Carolina (L-4) has more problems than just
all of the kids in its secondaryDid you see Cam Newtons postgame news
conference? Nobody who is dressed like that should look that sad. Its almost as
if Cam should bring two sartorial options for each game, in case its another
tough loss and hes like, Nah, this game didnt deserve the peacock bow tie.
Anyway, the 2015 MVP has a completion percentage of 57.8, which ranks him 31st
in the league. And on the other side of the ball for the Carolina Panthers,
wheres the pass rush? Real nice that you figured out how to score 21 points in
the fourth quarter. But if your defense cant make life miserable for the
opposing quarterback?in that quarter, youre going to lose close games. A lot of
them. Trust me. I covered the 2015 Giants. Ive seen some things ...Hell hath no
fury like a running back scornedLeSean McCoy now has 251 total yards and three
touchdowns in two career games against teams coached by Chip Kelly. He got 142
of those yards and all three touchdowns on Sunday, against Kellys woefully
overmatched 49ers. But while McCoy might be OK?if Kelly takes it personally,
Kelly shouldnt. Since the Buffalo Bills (W-4) changed offensive coordinators,
McCoy has 524 total yards and six touchdowns in four games. He and OC Anthony
Lynn are equal-opportunity soul crushers at this point.The Browns (L-6) do not
possess a margin for errorDid you know the last time the Cleveland Browns
started a season 0-6 was 1999? Thats right, people. The horrifying truth is that
this is a lousy start even for the Browns. Now, as Ive written before, this is
clearly the worst team in the league and to some extent by design. The front
office has stripped down the roster and loaded up on future draft picks it hopes
to use more effectively than its predecessors did. But Hue Jackson is coaching
his tail off from a motivational perspective, and the players on the field dont
think theyre overmatched. One of the issues on Sunday was Jacksons decision to
try a two-point conversion before he needed to. A small and debatable mistake,
sure, but these Browns are going to have to be perfect if theyre going to win --
even against fellow rebuilders like the Titans.The Jets (L-4) are the new
SaintsEntering Monday nights game in Arizona, the New York Jets were allowing
more yards per pass attempt (9.2) and a higher opponents passer rating (118.6)
than any team in the league. Based on those numbers, every quarterback who plays
the Jets this year is basically the 2007?Tom Brady. (Better, actually. Bradys
passer rating that year was 117.2, only the fourth highest in league history.)
Carson Palmer & Co. were happy to see old buddy Todd Bowles, but they have
to be wondering what happened to him.

recently retired Stern was elected Friday to the Naismith Memorial Basketball
Hall of Fame and will be enshrined with the class of 2014 on Aug.
Site Air Max 95 Pas Cher . The CFLs
leading rusher kept adding to his gaudy numbers this season and scored the
winning touchdown with just over two minutes to play. The New Westminster, B.C.,
native plowed three yards into the end zone for the last score of a heated,
see-saw battle between the two teams with the best records in the CFL.
Vente Air Max 95 . The All-Pro lineman
got the leg bent under him while trying to make a tackle during the first half
of a 22-20 overtime loss at Miami on Thursday night. The medical staff initially
thought hed torn the ligament, and the test a day later in Cincinnati confirmed
it. After a series of horseplay from the Colorado Buffaloes?to the?Michigan
Wolverines, there is no shortage of monkey business leading up to?their meeting
Saturday.First, the Buffaloes trolled the Wolverines with their?uniform combo
for the game.?Next, they?gave Harbaugh & Co. a taste of their own medicine
with a mock depth chart featuring the likes of Austin Powers and Lloyd
Christmas. This is where things got fun.You could say the Buffs are the
persistent little brother egging for a response while poking at big brother
Michigan. If a response is what they were looking for, they got it. Michigan
replied?to the depth chart.That was a definite jab at the Buffs Dumb and Dumber
combo at punt returner. Time to make things personal.Oh, yes. They brought
Jim?Harbaughs khakis into it. But Michigan was still prepared to play along.If
youre sensing another Lloyd Christmas gif as a rresponse, youre on
target.ddddddddddddBut big brother has had enough.Little brother cant stop and
wont stop, so he brings in left tackle, aka South Parks Eric Cartman, to lay
down the law.But theres plenty more on the roster for Michigan to take a jab
at.Ouch. That might have hit a nerve for the Buffs. No worries; these guys are
not short in the comeback department.But Michigan aka big bro is likely over
these shenanigans.?But Colorado started this.?Time to end this thing with a mic
drop.Are the Buffs tactics brilliant or setting them up for a beating from the
big, bad wolf?If the Buffs are as clever on the field as they are on paper, whos
to say they cant pull a Home Alone and leave the Wolverines landing on their
khakis?-- Courtney Schellin
