The Cowboys were my preseason pick to win the Superbowl. Sure seems like I was wrong. The Rams manhandled them today. I can understand some offensive dropoff without Romo, but what happened to defense?

While I am no fan of the Cowboys, it is pretty obvious what their real problem is. Their owner. He is even worse than Al Davis. One of the reasons I love seeing the Dallas Cowboys lose and fail is not so much because of the team, but because of Jerry Jones. I am so looking forward to when the Steelers destroy them later this season.

How about them Raiders!! Two more wins and they match last years total.

One question, why do coaches keep calling TO's right before the kick? So very stupid.

Jones is way better than Davis, way. I can't blame him for the losses, he puts a loaded product out on the field. I would blame it more on the coach than Jones.

The Chargers are suffering the same affliction as the Cowboys: an assistant coach posing as a head coach. Neither Norv Turner nor Wade Phillips will ever lead a team to a Superbowl.

I continue to stand by this statement. Wade will not make it to the end of the season. Norv will get fired after the season ends.

At least the Niners can block some kicks. I don't know if they can do anything else. Nolan's tenure needs to end....

Packers looked pretty good beating up the Jeckl and Hyde Colts. This season is proving: Any Given Sunday. If the Titans destroy the Colts next week, they should be taken very seriously to make noise in the playoffs.

Who cares? The Raiders won another game!

Nolan now out, and the old Baylor Bear and Chicago Bear in...

You can say the same thing to at least 1/3 of the NFL coaches now.

My Broncos are self destructing!

Yes, but no other two coaches have done less, with more, than Bum's Son and Norv.

What an ugly game for the Broncos. With that said I knew there was no way Belichick would allow his team to get embarassed on national telvision 2 weeks in a row, so the outcome was not a surprise, the score was.

I hate Belicheat, I hate him. 2 minute offense with 4 minutes left when up by 51204851028 points? I wanted to wipe that stupid smirk off his face, but the Giants did better than I ever could.

I agree that was uncalled for, it made the beating the Bolts put on them last week all the better. I'm really hoping that the Bill are semi-legit this year so they take the division, if nothing else but to keep the Pats out.

Nolan's hubris had become unsufferable. Listening to his explanations on challenges was borderline idiocy. I don't know how much the firing will change things, other than placate a disenchanted and growing-louder each week fan base.

Even though the offense isn't as offensive as last year, Martz' high risk style isn't working so well....

I don't think the Niner's offensive woes can all be attributed to Martz's high risk style. How about holding on to the damn football?

O'Sullivan has been sacked ten more times than any team in the league, the pass protection has been atrocious, and much of it can be attributed to Martz' scheme.

If the line blocks well, and if they throw less deep balls so the line doesn't have to hold their blocks as long, O'Sullivan doesn't get sacked and doesn't fumble....

But yeah, ball security is an issue....

that is Martz's style of football... makes the QB hold onto the ball as long as possible, checking all options... Bulger readily admitted then when Martz was there he wouldn't even check to see if the WR was open going through his looks, he'd just throw the ball if he thought they had single coverage

but O'Sullivan has to be more careful with the ball too

Belicheat, now that's new and refreshing. It doesn't matter what the score was, he needs to get Casell all the game experience he can for the team to be the best it can be at playoff time and that requires real game experience. The only people he or any other coach owe anything to are their players and owners. It's not his job to call off the dogs.

Nobody was whining around here a few weeks ago when Miami kicked a field goal from 39 yards with 6 minutes left in the game and already up 35-13 a few weeks ago against the Pats. If you didn't cry foul then why bitch about a two minute offense now? Oh that's right, you're a Pats hater so it only matters when they do it you phony.

Sounds like alot of teams expected to do well this year are melting down. My vikings would be my first choice. They have just terrible coaching. I think the cowboys are in a world of hurt right now as well as the pats and the eagles and the chargers. It's going to be a wacky unpredictable year throughout the league. The only really dominant looking team right now is the Titans and they have a really good coach. Alot of injuries around the league make it really hard to predict what will happen week to week. The steelers seem to be one of the teams that can keep rolling through all the injuries. They have Tomlin the ex vikings coach and mewelde mooore the ex vikings running back that have done a really good job facing all the injuries. But I think big ben has made the difference pulling them through all the injuries. and a good defense!

The only thing you convinced me of is that I should hate Belichick and Boston fans.

I'm not trying to convince you of anything. If other coaches catch on to Belichick's ways the Pats might not have the 6th best record in the NFL, even without Brady. If you're happy rooting for losers that's up to you but if Dallas or San Diego had half the coach New England does they might have actually won something that matters lately. Sorry but I can't help you with your monkey problem.
