Well, you worded it carefully, saying "game just got a little easier." Yes. But I think us old-timers know the pain of feeling good about a matchup because of this or that player missing and then the substitute shines. Heck, Mike White hit 37 of 44 passes (for over 400 yards) in his first NFL start -- against the Bengals 10th ranked defense. No longer do I plan to allow myself to think any upcoming game should be an easy win. (And I know you're not saying that at all.) It's "any given Sunday" for me from here on out.
