Look, this last game was just unusual: Penalties, injuries, dropped passes, missed FG's. Everything that could go wrong; did go wrong. And it was frustrating!
We lost to "some darn old" QB...Errr I mean "SAM DARNOLD" QB.
But, you have to give the Jets credit. They had a sound game plan and came to play.
Now: Why do I call it an aberration?
If you would have made last weeks picks based on the higher ranked teams from Aikmans efficiency ratings you would have lost only 2 games.

The Two Exceptions:
1. Cowboys ranked at #3 lost to the Jets ranked at #30 (This is unusual)
2. Bucs ranked #14 lost to the Panthers ranked at #15 (This is not unusual. These two teams were ranked barely apart in overall efficiency).
THE SHIP ISN'T SINKING!
We have an efficient team which equals success. Aikman has it right!
With that being said: I want to see them play as a TEAM. NEVER play as individuals.
