Looking Back at the Season

Now that I am done licking my wounds from a Bomber failure I can look back at the season and see what really transpired.

One team won a lot of games.

One team lost a lot of games.

Six teams finished with seven to ten wins. There is a lot of parity if you have seventy-five percent of your league within that range. Seven wins will not get you into the playoffs. It probably shouldn't. This year an 8 and 10 record will get you into the playoffs. Maybe it should maybe it shouldn't, it is definitely on the line at the best of times.

Other good points to the season is the last game had playoff implications for both teams in the game and for teams not playing. That produces some good drama. Coming down to a win and you are in situation is all any team or league could ask for.

There were some great plays and some bad ones. There were old stars doing like they always do and some new stars emerging with promise to bring a lot more. Some teams are getting better, some are not. There will be a lot of off season searching, for souls and talent and will and pride.

Soon the snows will come and blanket our great nation, we will look to other sports for a while but when it warms up in the spring we will look to the grid-iron for another year of drama, excitement and debate. I hope next year will bring another great season and I hope the Bombers do a bit better.
