1.) Can the Colts offense get past the Bears defense?
2.) Can the Bears offense get past themselves?
3.) Is Norv Turner the next Dallas Cowboys Head Coach?
4.) Did Jerry Jones really consider Wade Phillips as a possible candidate?

Fantastic finishes: 5 NFL games go down to wire
Ryan Longwell made a field goal with nine seconds left to give Minnesota a comeback win over Detroit. Nine seconds? Bor-ing! Four other games were decided even later on a wild Sunday, including an NFL first for Arizona: a blocked punt for a touchdown in overtime. “I can’t remember one that was this crazy,” Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner said, “especially toward the end.” He could have been talking about the whole day. Houston beat Miami when Matt Schaub ran for a TD with 3 seconds lef
It Takes a Lot to Laugh, the Cowboys Make Me Cry…
“…Don’t say I never warned you, when your train gets lost.” – Bob Dylan, “It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry” “I’m going to lean in Arizona’s direction… Arizona, with some help from Romo - 31 Dallas, with some help from Romo - 27″ – BSR, Damn the Torpedoes and Pass the Gatorade, October 10 The actual final: Arizona, with some help from the special teams — 30 Dallas, with no help from the offensive line — 24 Maybe these guys just can’t be reached. Two years ago, when the
Cardinals Beat Cowboys in Overtime
The Arizona Cardinals stunned the Dallas Cowboys by beating them in a crazy 30-24 overtime victory Sunday afternoon. It was the first overtime game in NFL history that ended with a blocked punt for a touchdown. Afterwords everyone was in disbelief, including Kurt Warner. “I can’t remember one that was this crazy,” Arizona quarterback Kurt Warner said, “especially toward the end.” The Cowboys are considered the most talented team in the league and before the season started they were wide
The “New” Ghosts Of The “Old” Yankee Stadium
Here’s an interesting list. It’s the most “home games” played for the Yankees, by position, from 1976 through 2008 - with the “Top Five” for each position. In a way, these players are the “new” ghosts of what will soon become the “old” Yankee Stadium… Catchers Games Shortstops Games Jorge Posada 665 Derek Jeter 1000 Rick Cerone 269 Bucky Dent 339 Butch Wynegar 233 Alvaro Espinoza 224 Thurman Munson 233 Bobby Meacham 207 Joe Girardi 190 Fred Stanley 143 First Basemen Games Left Fielders Games D
Is It Time To Hit The Panic Button?
Wow....I am with Joe D on this one. The 2008 Dallas Cowboys seem to be in a fiery tail spin after a loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Wade Phillips will say everything is fine, he sugar coats losses, and Tony Romo will simply say they were outplayed. The only thing that bothers me is that teams have been outplaying the Cowboys for the past 3 weeks now and there is no signs of impending improvment. Terrell Owens has been diminished into a 8 million dollar complimentary player to Marion Barber and F
'We're not just going to walk out there and beat anybody'
That's the lesson the Cowboys have learned over the last few weeks, according to Jason Witten. "This team is a good team, but we're learning that we're not just going to walk out there and beat anybody," Witten said. "We've got to go out there and play our football." It seems like that message should have been pretty clear after the Cowboys collapsed down the stretch last season. There is absolutely no reason that a team full of guys who have never won a playoff game in a Cowboys uniform shou
Cardinals' front four whipped Cowboys' big, bad offensive line
The Cardinals defensive coaches were in DT Darnell Dockett's ear all week. They told him over and over again how big and tough the Cowboys' offensive line was. Well, the Cardinals' front four whupped the big, bad Cowboys' O-line that features three Pro Bowlers. Led by Dockett's dominant performance, Arizona sacked Tony Romo three times and pressured him on a consistent basis. Arizona coach Ken Whisenhunt talked about the Cardinals' ability to get to Romo without blitzing being one of the game'
Cowboys claim Pacman drama didn't play role in loss
The Cowboys had an excuse for coming out sluggish, sloppy and unfocused. They dealt with the distractions of Adam "Pacman" Jones' latest screw-up after news broke Wednesday evening of his fight with a team-appointed bodyguard/babysitter. Pacman didn't talk after the game. He still hasn't said anything publicly after the jivin' at the Joule gone wrong, which could cause commissioner Roger Goodell to suspend him again next week. Wade Phillips mentioned that the defense played well when asked wh
I'd rather look at John McCain's poll numbers
It didn't take long. Tim McMahon at the Dallas Morning News has the first call for a new head coach: I'm sure Wade Phillips will point out a few positives, starting with how the Cowboys fought back when hope appeared lost, but the facts are that the Cowboys have lost two of three games and played poorly in the lone win during that stretch. The Cowboys were lucky that they had any chance to beat the Cardinals this afternoon. From the opening kickoff, which Arizona's J.J. Arrington returned for a
SNF Live-Blog: Patriots @ Chargers, 1st Half
Philip Rivers is apparently pretty good at math, but not good enough to figure out how the Chargers are at 2-3 when they were the odds on favorite to win the AFC West. (They still are, to many -- because as witnessed again today, Denver has no capability to stop anyone on offense.) My pick: The Chargers should make a stand here. It's a home game. They need to gain a game on the Broncos, and the Patriots aren't exactly the tightest on the defensive side. But the Bolts' D has been bad in terms of
Cowboys can't keep hitting snooze button
Patrick Crayton stood in a hushed locker room and suggested that the Cowboys could use a little discipline. "Maybe we need our asses chewed out or something," Crayton said. The loss to Washington should have been a wake-up call for the Cowboys, Crayton said. It clearly wasn't. The Cowboys followed that up with an ugly win over the 0-fer Bengals, and the head coach and several players spent the next couple days defending that sloppy performance. The Cowboys didn't play any better today and pai
Bill Cowher, What Are You Doing?
Dear Bill Cowher, Jerry Jones want to talk to you. Maybe I am just speculating, and a better statement may have been that Jerry Jones ought to be talking to you about taking the reigns of the Dallas Cowboys. I am not sure what Jones’ plans are for the highest-paid coordinator in the NFL, Jason Garrett, but he might have to go to so the Cowboys can pay you the most money for a coach in the NFL. Wade Phillips should be fired. Yes, I know the Cowboys are 4-2 an both losses were very close games
Blame This Loss On The Offensive Line and Special Teams
Last week I said I wasn't going to point the finger of blame at any player or any aspect of the team, but after today's embarrassing defeat, all bets are off. What in God's name was that? Todays performance by our offensive line was a brutal display of ineffectiveness that can only be categorized as a complete and utter abomination. The culmination of several lackluster displays of effort in the last few weeks all led to this disastrous thrashing at the hands of the Arizona Cardinals. Tony R
Super scoop of NFL Sunday
Super scoop of NFL Sunday October 12, 2008 The games had so much action and wild finishes it seemed like a college Saturday. Here we go: After almost Folking himself and the Cardinals, Ken Whisenhunt thrived in OT. In a wild, scattered final four seconds, an injured Cardinal player created an offside and turned what would have been a 57-yard field-goal attempt into a 52-yarder. Wade Phillips had the offense on the field and looked like he was going to pass on the 57-yarder. However, after
The Dallas Cowboys Are The Most Overrated Team In NFL
What team in the NFL has 13 Pro Bowlers, three contracts above $50 million and the highest-paid coordinator who has never had control of an offense? Meet your Dallas Cowboys, the NFL’s most-overrated team. The Dallas Cowboys are not being criticized because they lost to the Arizona Cardinals, a tough team that is undefeated at home in six games. The Dallas Cowboys are just plain mediocre. And unfortunately, what it will take to turn this ship around is an entirely revamped coaching staff. No
Cardinals 30, Cowboys 24 (OT): A talented team is in a tailspin
I'm sure Wade Phillips will point out a few positives, starting with how the Cowboys fought back when hope appeared lost, but the facts are that the Cowboys have lost two of three games and played poorly in the lone win during that stretch. The Cowboys were lucky that they had any chance to beat the Cardinals this afternoon. From the opening kickoff, which Arizona's J.J. Arrington returned for a touchdown, the Cowboys made mistake after mistake after mistake. That isn't necessarily surprising
Looks like Felix Jones is done for the day
I've arrived on that conclusion after it was announced that Felix Jones had hamstring problems and he didn't go back there for the kickoff. This obviously is a major concern for the next few weeks. Not sure how much Felix would have helped in the fourth quarter anyway. Wade Phillips infamously explained after the loss to the Redskins that the homer-hitting rookie isn't part of the Cowboys' come-from-behind package.
Can't blame Pacman on that one
Adam "Pacman" Jones had good position, but it's tough to make up for a five-inch height disadvantage on a fade route. Give Larry Fitzgerald credit for making a tough catch for a TD. Wade Phillips is challenging, but that looks too close to overturn to my untrained eyes. UPDATE: So much for my untrained eyes. Wade remains undefeated with challenges this season!!!
Cardinals 30, Cowboys 24: Mistakes, mistakes and more mistakes!
First and foremost. Bruce Read, pack your bags because you are fired in the morning if Jerry Jones has a brain in his head. Wade Phillips - You my friend are no defensive guru. YOUR defense continues to get back on the field after JASON'S OFFENSE takes the lead in games and plays like crap! 3rd and 17 and YOUR defense can't get off the field. Why? That's rhetorical folks. The answer is because Wade is doing a good enough job coaching or preparing them well enough to do so. One sack on Kurt Warn
SUNDAY A.M. TEXAS TECH-NEBRASKA THOUGHTS–UPDATED
Jump to Comments Good evening West Texans and all you good, fine, friendly folks out there who wish you were . . . UPDATED SUNDAY A.M. TO INCLUDE OSU-MU THOUGHTS AND LINKS: Wow, how ‘bout them Cowboys? Not exactly what you’d want to see if you’re a Tech fan for my money (It is T. Boone’s actually, but who is counting) since you’ve got the Pokes on the sked and not MU right now. Not sure what to make out of the game. Is OSU that good? Did the Tiger’s have a game like Tech did and just not avoid
