What the hell is wrong with the NFC this year? At this point in the season, teams that are 5-6 have a shot at the playoffs. I mean, the Eagles clinched a division already, and the Steelers and Patriots - both also at 10-1 - are only winning their divisions by 3 and 2 games respectively (with five games left in the season).

Seattle leads their division at 6-5! The AFC divisions are led by two 10-game winners and two 8-game winners. The NFC: 10, 9, 7, and 6.

It's abysmal. I like it when the AFC wins the Super Bowl, but can the NFC even put up a fight? The AFC was 5-1 last weekend in interleague play, and they haven't fared much better in any of the previous weeks.

I agree, it is abysmal. I'm a Philly fan myself and this could be our year... again. But overall, the quality of teams in the NFC is pathetic compared to the AFC. It makes me wonder just when the balance of power shifted. In the early-mid 1990's the NFC was very dominant, but now that isn't the case. One thing I've noticed is that many of the top AFC teams are very strong defensively (Indianapolis this year and Kansas City last year being the notable exceptions). In the NFC, Atlanta has a decent defense and Philly is still pretty solid (not against the run, though-thanks, Pittsburgh) despite numerous injuries. Defense is the key, in my opinion.

Defense is the reason Indianapolis may exit early. Then again, they have such a powerful offense, who knows? I'm just glad that the Raiders won yesterday.

The power shift? Maybe when New England beat St. Louis. It seems to me that every year before then the AFC was better.

And nearly every team would have fared better than the Raiders against Tampa Bay when they won the Super Bowl. Heck, Pittsburgh beat them easily in the regular season.

Yowtch, that loss still stings a bit. But certainly a bit less than all the losses this season for the Bucs. *sigh*

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
