Second half surge

Second half surge We? Fri halfway mark in the NFL and many areas, except the Colts, in close races to the finish line. Here is a look at some NFL teams that might be difficult in the first half of the season, but could lead to a better second half run.Lions: Stop the presses, Detroit has reached 29 points! The Lions' victory over the Cardinals Sunday, they trust. Even more important is that they are healthy. The defense again some of the key personnel in advance, while WRS Roy Williams and caught 7 passes for 117 meters. Lions Super Bowl are not wood, but who is in the NFC? After all, Detroit is playing in a weak division and could lead to an increase in the second half. Games against Minnesota, Green Bay and New Orleans is help.Rams: Another team that catches a break to get healthy. Before QB Marc Bulger and WR Isaac Bruce back is a big plus, and that St. Louis is a great home field edge. Their poor run defense is a problem, but the timing is a type, with games against the Cardinals, Texans, Vikings and 49ers come up.Patriots: New England had the most difficult schedule in the NFL in the first eight games, and now before the second is easier to plan the second half. Sunday, the Pats had a great victory in Miami. DE Richard Seymour retued, what the defensive line much better, and the play of CB Ellis Hobbs was very good to get some help, what is a terrible secondary S Rodney Harrison has had for years. Are most likely due to a strong second half period and only to win the weak AFC East. Once in the playoffs, what can happen. And yet QB Tom Brady, Adam Vinateri and Bill Belichick.Chargers: Everything happened for this group of young talent in 2004, and breaks appear to be against them this year. Games against Buffalo, Miami and Oakland - all at home - are easy. The timetable is still very challenging, with games at Washington, Indy, and Kansas City, before a finale at home with Denver. This team has the talent to be hot, but? Ve blown too many games, their scope for slip-up razor thin, if you need to retu to playoffs.Cowboys: Dallas Philly Monday night adopted a Cowboys game, which entered with a 5-3 record. If you remember, had lost 6 to Oakland and had two stunning last seconds broke the Redskins and Seahawks, the team could very easily be 7-1 or 8-0 with few breaks. Please note that Dallas is No. 5 in total defense in the NFL! Viking: Sunday? S thrilling upset of the NY Giants could lead to an increase memorable second half of the Vikings (and Coach Mike Tice comeback year 's). After all, the status of veteran QB Brad Johnson came from nowhere to the top of the Bucs to a Super Bowl title just three seasons ago. OK, that's absurd. I only see when you wake up. The Vikings are still a bad football team, the Giants outgained by 405-137! He won only because of a defensive contact and two kick retus for TDS. You Tice is flat on the outskirts of a player in the role is? He won? T the last time Tice was fired - probably for the administration, when the season ends. That was just crazy what a win from time to time in the NFL. Minnesota is not half second. Good luck, as always ...
