I would enjoy seeing Cowher in Dallas. He a good coach

[clovenhooves]

I wouldn't enjoy it, because he's a good coach. Jerry Jones, hire Mike Singletary

[Y2KPewterSS]

Wade Phillips is on borrowed time. Gruden is still out there floating around. A smart owner would maybe try to offer him enough to come back. A shot at coaching the boys might actually do it. Another one is Cowher. I see him coming back as a coach at some point in time. That's just head coaches that are in retirement. There are a lot of coordinators out there that would be worth looking at.

Gruden drives me nuts period. Good coach though.


Cowher is the prime coach I would want for my team. I don't see him going to Dallas though, because he will not be Jerry Jones gopher boy, bitch or puppet. I heard Cowher's wife lost her battle with cancer and he is itching to be back in coaching next season. Tops on his list is the Giants job if its available. I know JJ covets Cowher, but I don't think JJ would keep his nose out of Cowher's business and allow him to do his thing. That would be another Parcells or Jimmy Johnson type situation, head strong coaches that wouldn't swallow for JJ so he gets rid of them.

I agree.....JJ kills coaches. He's al davis in a nicer suit.

Okay - I believe you now. And yes, please do sign in and let me know that you're back. I'd meet you at a Buffalo Wild Wings for the Vikes/Cowboys & Saints....(who do they play this week) games, to talk shit with ya.


Edit: NO @ TB

Even though NO is on the road & on grass, I think I'll still give them the nod this week.

they lost to the cards who started an undrafted rookie at QB......I give them a partial nod. The only hope they have is to come in pissed off at the embarassing loss last week. If they don't do that they lose. TB is a divisional game and someone that plays them tough regardless.

TB is improved and playing solid right now. I doubt this is easy for NO, but I agree, they probably win.

[Y2KPewterSS]

I think the Ravens are the best AFC team(and, in the entire NFL for that matter), and with the Jets-Steelers right there also. Either way, all three will be in the playoffs, which is all that really matters anyway.

X10 on everything else being wide open.

Something that isn't wide open, the Bills are on the clock

New style of balls may be the reason that QBs are throwing like shit this month?

confirming what I already know and have said on here before.....Rodgers is an average QB at best. I don't care for either of these guys really and think before either team wins it all there will have to be either a QB change or a killer run game.

I still think Rodgers is awfully good - his "performance" this year will not look as good as he really is due to the injuries, a poor offensive line, and no running game. All of which isn't his fault.

It just proves there really is no "I" in team.


am I doing defending a Packer!!!???

[Y2KPewterSS]

Good luck Colt McCoy!!!!!!

He will have more turnovers and sacks than points on the board.

[big hammer]

are the chicago black socks winning?

I hope the kid does alright. Liked him at Texas...and not really a 'Horn fan.
Little small though.

And going up against Pittsburgh....
Be lucky to be alive at the end of it.

*watch him beat the steelers now*

If him and the Browns beat the Steelers, I am done watching NFL for this year. I will stick with my prediction of sacks and turnovers being more than points on the scoreboard. Pittsburgh will light his ass up with an array of blitzes and Cleveland does not have the ability to protect him.
