Kevin Keitzmann talked today about Mizzou not getting enough respect in the SEC, that it's always an excuse with the Good Ole Boys of the SEC to blame injuries, schedule etc for why Mizzou might win the SEC East. I believe this is the same old thing. Bob Ryan is as Patriots homer as they come, he's living in the Dynasty Days of yore and believes that there has to be a dominant team every year. But back to the excuse thing, it has to be that it's a down year talent wise in the NFL, it can't be that the Chiefs are gritty, hard nosed football players who might just be one of the best teams in the NFL. No, it has to be an excuse why we are 7-0, because we're not the usual bunch to be doing this great. If Pittsburgh, the Cowboys, or the Patriots had our schedule and they were 7-0, the talking heads around the league would say they're the best team in the NFL. Maybe it's not so much a mirage that we had so many Pro Bowlers last year at 2-14, maybe people knew that our talent was what was real and not our record.
