The Rangers played their second clunker on Monday night, losing to Minnesota and again struggling for consistency on offense. They now hit a soft spot in the schedule with San Jose tonight before traveling to Calgary, two very winnable games before a mini gauntlet next month. No game in October is a must win, and this is no different in the grand scheme of things. I'm calling it a must win because, to be direct, I don't want to deal with the negativity if they lose.
The Dolphins, winless at 0-2, are turning into the definition of ineptitude. They can't count on doing anything right for an extended period of time, which, for these purposes, we'll define as a 60-minute NFL game. "We've got to play better," defensive tackle Zach Seiler said. "We've got to be better together as a unit in all three phases." That hasn't happened through two games.
