2009-2010 NFL Season

I agree Wade has done a good job in Dallas. I think the best thing that he's done on offense is using the running game more efficiently. I looked it up b/c I was curious... Dallas is averaging 4.8 yards per carry this season... that's absolutely incredible. They've got 3 backs who can handle the ball (very reminiscent of the 2007 Giants) and who will all be fresh for the playoffs. While Romo still throws the ball a ton, he doesn't need to carry the entire offense on his shoulders.

I think they could be dangerous...

Wade has as much input on offense as you do.

Jason Garrett and Jerry Jones run that side.

Wade runs the defense and just look at the season they've put on. 250 Points over 15 games is incredibly low.

The Cowboys are much more of a passing team with the current line. They need to rely on their receiving corps and Romo IMO. Miles Austin has matched TO's production for last year and he started 5 games in. Jerry said Miles would step up right after he cut TO and man was he right.

The Giants need to stop acting like the sky is falling. Everyone has bad years. Keep it together and you will roll next year.

Wow- talk about a football game!!! Favre leads the Vikings back in the closing seconds of regulation, and then Cutler wins the game in OT. A couple of observations:

1) AP has got to hold onto the ball better. His fumble in OT was his 7th lost fumble of the year, and his 16th over the past 2 years. The guy is an absolute beast but he really needs to hold onto the ball better.

2) I think the Vikings are in trouble if they don't end up with the #2 seed in the playoffs. They are 7-0 at home this season and 4-4 on the road, with all losses happening outside. If they end up as the 3 seed, they are guaranteed a 2nd round playoff game outside in Philly.

There have been some great games this season. This one was very exciting. Like an emotional rollercoaster ride.
It's hard to tell what will happen next week. The Giants may come out with something to prove and play to their full potential. Or they may just play like they've already lost. Also, the Vikes may have a little something to prove.
On the other side, the Cowgirls already have their spot in the playoffs. If they win, it may mean that they play the Birds a week later. The Birds on the other hand have something more to play for with the number 2 seed on the line. Still, when the Birds and Girls go at it, records don't mean as much. Either of these two games could go either way.

The Eagles are currently the 2 seed, but they still have to play the Cowboys on the road. It's not exactly automatic they will play Philly.

The 2 seed will be either Minnesota, Philly, Arizona or Dallas. I'd say that the cold wouldn't be a disadvantage for Minnesota though. Remember who their QB is.

Regular Season is kind of irrelevant at this point though. All that matters is the Playoffs.

I can say one thing about this, The Eagles own Brett Favre,His average against the Birds breakdown It's 17-of-33 for 209 yards, one touchdown, two interceptions and he sports a losing record against us with 5 wins and 8 losses. I hope that it breaks down exactly as you say and we get The Vikings I am chomping at the bit right now....

Didn't realize Dallas was still alive to clinch the #2 seed... that would be pretty insane! What's crazier is that the Week 17 match ups of Dallas vs. Philly and Arizona vs. Green Bay could result in rematches exactly one week later . Has this ever happened before??

I remember KC playing SD (I think) back to back in the 80's one time. I don't remember ever seeing two back to backs in the same year. H.ll, I don't even remember a second time ever.

Ten years ago, you would be correct about #4. In the last few, the cold has gotten to his aging (for a QB) body. In a nice warm dome, he's the man. Otherwise, count on plenty of issues.

That would be crazy. Beating Philly in back to back weeks would be almost as big as winning a super bowl for me. Still it's always a toss up when the two get together.

Pretty sure I'd rather shoot myself in the head than root for either team to win .

I'm strugling with that too. Can't they both lose?

Add this into the mix. If the Jets win against the Bengals on Sunday, they would play again the following week as well. When has this ever been a 3 way possibility?

Hmmmm- I'd rather saw my own toes off with a rusty butter knife.

If I had a choice, I think I'd rather the Eagles lose (notice I didn't say I'm rooting for either team to win) b/c I hate pretty much everything about Philly sports .

The feeling is 1000% mutual. I will leave you with a nice fitting pic for you and your faithful,

Enjoy the off season.
