In this column we will examine the fortunes of each of the six RW chapters to demonstrate which is the chapter above all others. Every few weeks (Lance that means 3...) we will take a look at the key player movements, injuries etc. as well as the statistical performance of each chapter and declare a fairest chapter of them all!
Recap: last column's conclusions
RW has a case of "the have's and the have nots".
Chapters 2,3 & 5 flying high while Chapter 1 sucking
Can 3rd chapter keep it up?
Changing faces: Key player movement etc.
1st Chapter: Mendy, Clemons in. VJax out
2nd Chapter: Cook, VJax, Jennings, Ryans in. Tannehill, Mendy, Floyd, Gates, Garcon out
3rd Chapter: Floyd, Gates, Garcon, Tannehill in. Cook, Jennings, Ryans, Clemons out
4th Chapter: Mario, S Nicholas in. Woodson, Ponder out
5th Chapter: Britt, Wallace, Bennett, Ponder, Harvin in. Forte, Wright, H Miller, A Brown out
6th Chapter: Woodson, A Brown, Forte, Wright, H Miller in. Harvin, Britt, Wallace, Bennett out
Chapter 4 continues to show little appetite for big moves while Chapter 3 showing sizable appetite for injury prone / injured guys
Only time will tell whether the moves between chapters 5 & 6
results in a true change of fortunes or merely amounts to moving the deck chairs
around...Deeper reflection: what do the numbers say

Since this is a weekly game here we get to see whether its consistency and depth or ceiling thats holding back some of the chapters, for example chapter 2 has similar PF to chapter 6 but four more big performances. C'mon chapter 3, Eagles can only put up 1 of these a week you know...

Can a leopard change its spots? Not if its Chapter 1 when it come's to putting up the stinkers...
How long can Chapter 6 hold out here - there only badge of honor in this review...
Bottom line it for me
Now I think's it pretty clear the haves are Chapters 2 & 5 and.... the damn Eagles (single hand-idly propping up their chapter)
Congratulations to Chapter 5 for making the biggest move since last time. Chapter 1 can take some small solace in the fact that their AP record did actually go up, even though not enough to overtake anyone.
May the force be with you all
Still working with the exact format (incl aesthetics) and elements in this one so suggestions welcome!
