first thing on the to do list...destroy the redskins at home tehehhe

i expect the cowboys to win out the season after the bye next week...no reason it should be a problem. defense is definitely stepping it up these last two games...shoot, we actually caught interceptions...pass rush is getting better

cowboys are fixina be smokin

That's funny, the Cowboys don't even believe they can win.

They'll be smokin' allright,

Smokin cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo once the playoffs start.

Never once have I said anything to support this prema donna. Jr is nothing like the old man. But then again he is like most typical athletes today. It's all about their stats, showboating, taunting, stupid celebrations after a 3 yard catch while losing by 30, touchdown celebrations lasting 2 minutes again while down by 30, mouthing off teammates, and finally blaming everyone else for their failures.

Pick a team, any team, including the one that you root for and I'll guarantee you that there is a Winslow on it.

"well, maybe favre can get the jets into the playoffs this year, but he'll prolly choke just like the last 10 times"

I have no problem saying that...I never like GB and I don't like the Jets.

Hey, I really am sorry if you took that the wrong way. I didn't think you were supporting him, nor did I think I was inferring that you were. I just saw you were a Browns fan and wanted to rib you a little. I agree with what you said above.

I will say I am a Bears fan and I feel like they do a bit better job than most teams of keeping egos in check, maybe that's because every other year they only win four games.

Looks like Bills stay around with Pats sofar,

The Jets play in too tough of a division to have any real chance. They're a decent football team who's just starting to build chemistry. I'd like to see Favre come back next year. I think they could do some real damage. They're killing the Rams right now 40-0 at halftime.

That said, I feel real good about the G-men against Philly tonight.

Steelers will beat the Colts today.

No problem, I'm sorry if you took my statement wrong as well. As a fan I love Winslow's ability. However, he is a grade a I'm tired of players like him, Owens, Moss, Chad "Ocho Cinco"(proof right there), and others who feel that they are bigger than the game and the team.

As for the Bears, I've never disliked them. That is until today. Dang, they limited Chris Johnson to 8 yards rushing. That is killing me on my Fantasy Football team.

It's a major problem in sports today and it really turns me off. I can't watch the NBA at all for this same reason. A player scores two points out of 210 scored that night and goes into an epileptic fit.

I was proud of the Bears' run defense today. If maybe every once in awhile they could have stopped a pass play they might have been in good shape. But you have to hand it to the Titans, the Bears took away their bread-and-butter, the run game and they still found a way to win on the road.

Well, that was not pretty, but I'll take it. A win's a win. G-men go to 8-1 and increase their first place lead.

what get beat

[b3warnick]

The stillers need to bench Roethlisberger until he's 100% and maybe beyond. He made some passes yesterday that were high school. His arm is not what it used to be due to injury (ies) - noodle arm. He is regressing, not progressing. His intercepts are way up the last 3 games, he takes too long to throw the ball, and he doesn't hardly ever check down to his RB as an outlet, even though Leftwich showed him how to on that Mon night game against the 'skins. For what he's getting paid he should be among the games elite QB's - he's nowhere close to playing that way. Maybe some bench for Ben would wise him up.

This is going to be ugly. Leftwich can't move around like Ben and the Steelers can't pass protect, so the sackfest is about to get underway. Leftwich might not last long enough to get back to Roethlesburger.

Parker is back for this week to run the ball, Leftwich is 100% now we got job done over Wash. he got ball out faster then Ben did.
