In 1999, the St. Louis Rams of Kurt Warner and Marshall Faulk and Isaac Bruce won their first seven games by an average margin of 22 points.
That was a Halley's Comet, or so I thought. Then New England won its first seven games this season by an average margin of 26 points. And it beat Washington Sunday by 45 points, bumping the average margin to 28 points.
Crazy.
The Rams lost two in a row after those seven wins, then regrouped to finish 13-3 and sweep through the postseason for a Super Bowl title. Warner, who had absurd touchdown and yardage passing stats, was the MVP of the regular-season and Super Bowl. Warner had a whopping 41 TD passes. New England's Tom Brady has 30 with half the season still to play.
Insane.
Once you get past the South Florida fiasco, you'll see the Hlog (with inside help) went 6-1 this week. Brilliance abounded in lifting the season record to 28-20-1.
Tell the neighbors and wake the kids. The mojo is back. Nothing but happy days from now till the end of bowl season.
