You will agree that this is an excellent question, although very complicated.

Since the world existed, and even longer, humans have been searching for perfection. As I recall, it was Aristotle, in his first book – the one which led to a film adaptation, with Sylvester Stallone in the role of the philosopher – who looked at this elusive concept. Much later, in 1976-1977, it was up to Yvon Lambert to address this question when the Canadian was close to the sublime. “Send, send, send the little mare, send, send, the little mare,” he concluded, quite astonishingly.
Now it’s the Kansas City Chiefs’ turn to strive for perfection.
They are not the first to try to do this in American football. In 2007, the Pats of Tom Brady and Randy Moss came very close, but a graceful Eli Manning ruined everything in the final, with the help of David Tyree, an obscure receiver who caught a sneak ball with his helmet at the end.
Since the first Super Bowl in January 1967, 58 finals have been presented, and only one has been won by a perfect team from start to finish: the Miami Dolphins, during the 1972 season, as part of ‘a schedule of 14 games. Including the playoffs, the Dolphins had a 17-0 record that season.
So here we are, just past the halfway point in the NFL, and there’s only one perfect club left: the Chiefs, who find themselves with a 9-0 record.
After appearing in four of the last five Super Bowls, the Chiefs should be slowing down a bit, but no. We insist: everything starts from the top, and when management makes the right decisions, that’s what it’s like. But the most difficult thing about perfection is that it doesn’t allow for mistakes, and right now, we see three obstacles in the way of the Chiefs: the Bills at Buffalo on Sunday, and then the Chargers on the 8th. December, and this visit to the Steelers on Christmas Day.
Also, since this series of successes that began in 2020, the Chiefs have collected an impressive total of 60 victories. That’s something, and for comparison, if he wants to collect 60 wins as a member of the New York Jets, Aaron Rodgers will have to play until 2084 or thereabouts.
Speaking of the wolf, and then according to the best informed people in the business, it appears that Rodgers would have insisted on being part of all decisions when the Jets chose to acquire him, in April 2023. The hiring of players, the hiring of assistants, the playbook, in short, it is said that Rodgers made it known that he was going to stick his nose in just about every file. We shouldn’t be surprised if one day, this big madman decided to show up at the NASA offices to tell them what to do.

The Jets aren’t the only ones having problems at the quarterback position in the greater New York area. Among the Giants, there are whispers that the divorce with Daniel Jones is imminent, primarily because Jones is incapable of throwing a ball. This is excellent news because we may see the good Tommy DeVito again and his face as a guy who can’t believe he’s there.
We also hope that the cameras will find DeVito’s agent in the crowd, who often looks like an extra on the set ofSilence.
With four-point games approaching, there’s obviously madness in the inbox. So, there is Daniel Piché who writes this: “In terms of nonsense, you are difficult to beat! »Who are we to contradict him?
For his part, Sylvio Bellerose recalls that his Steelers are in an excellent position since this column dared to question the abilities of quarterback Russell Wilson. “Great joker in your hours,” he wrote, without specifying the hours in question.
It’s not very complicated, there are two matches that no one will have the right to miss this Sunday.
The first involves the Pittsburgh Steelers, who will want to forget their humiliating defeat of October 6 (at home no less) against the Dallas Cowboys, by hosting the Baltimore Ravens, in a match that will be crucial, nothing less, for both teams.
Finally, we recall this clash of ideas scheduled for the end of the day, between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Buffalo Bills. The Bills will have home field advantage especially because no one wants to go to Buffalo, except perhaps Daniel Brière, who has already explained to us very seriously that life there is magnificent.
That’s not bad, and don’t forget to have your winter tires fitted.
