In the NFL, lasting impressions have a seven-day shelf life. Seasons can soar and swoon from week to week, careening through the levels of ecstasy to the stages of grief. We know we shouldn’t put too much stock into any given Sunday, but we do it anyway.
That’s part of being a football fan, dreaming about continued success or extended failure based on what happened last game. But for most teams outside of the elite, the truth resides somewhere in between. They miraculously pull out games they should lose and inexplicably drop games they should win.
The roller coaster can be emotionally draining. But when you catch it at the top, there’s nothing else like it. One week into the season, that’s where we are with Washington Redskins rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III.
We’re in love and all shook up.
