Never liked him when he was here. He seems more like a HS football coach rather than someone who belong in the NFL.

Didn't know he was the coach there, did make the playoffs 2 out of 3 years, that was after he bombed with the Jets. :woot: Last 2 games for the 'Hawks....outscored 74-10! :hehe:

Some of the best coaching goes on at the high school level; some of the worst coaching is found at the pro level.

Jerry Jones probably would agree. :beaten:

Watching last night's game, I think a number of the Cowboy players just gave up and quit.

The Bills are 0-7, but they seem to be playing harder than the Cowboys.

with an interim head coach, I wonder if the Dallas players will even try. :sweat:

Key word there is some.

With Kitna at QB, may not matter how hard they try. :bleh: Not an easy schedule for them coming up, still have Giants, Colts, Saints, Eagles twice...3-13? Wish the Bills were playing them, do have a chance at a win this week, playing the Lions, both teams are better than their record but just find ways to lose. :beaten:

^ The Dallas-New Orleans game on Thanksgiving should be a feeding frenzy for the Saints.

u know what that will be if all those saints came out and the saints Lost :hehe: ... :beaten: NAh nO way :shakehead: ... but i have to say this if the Cowboys do win because of a coach change OH man that would really be a happy Thankgiving for them LOL :fingerscrossed: :shocked:

Would love to see a big upset this Sunday from the Cowboys, :fingerscrossed: be nice to take the Giants down a peg or two. Of course it's hometown bias, NY Daily News 1st half rankings had the Giants the #1 NFL team, :ohcrap: course it helps when you have the Lions, 'Hawks, Panthers and Cowboys on your schedule, combined they're 8-24. :bleh: Least they surprised me with their halfway MVP, Brady, :applaud: they said no one has done more with less, this year that's been the case for sure.

^ I can't imagine the Giants losing the way they've been rolling... And at home.

Cowboys might make a game of it at the start, but in the end, the G-Men are gonna pound them.

#1 Oregon escapes with a 15-13 win over Cal, thanks to a missed field goal and a nine-minute drive to end the game. For a quick scoring team, that nine minutes must've felt much longer for Oregon.

Fresno State up 7-0 against #21 Nevada early in the first, but I'm sure once I hit the submit button Nevada will have put up three touchdowns on that porous Bulldog defense.

Very surprising score, considering Oregon's perpetually running a two-minute drill.

The Cowboys stun the Giants 33-20. Turnovers and penalties hold the G-men back, but have to give credit to the Cowboys for finally showing up.

Things got worse for the Texans' pass defense as one of their corners swats a Hail Mary pass right into the hands of Jags' Mike Thomas, who takes it into the end zone for the game winning score.

49ers beat the Rams 23-20, and it looks like Troy Smith has secured the starting job. 350 yards passsing is great, but I'm not sure how much weight that holds when it comes against the Rams. I just hope the 49ers can build on this.

The Broncos spank the Chiefs, and the Raiders win on their bye week because the Chiefs loss has them atop the AFC West. The Chargers sit one game back, and look to make another late-season charge.

Well, probably most would have agreed with you, :say_yes: Cowboys had other ideas and fooled us all! :applaud: Giants built their record against some of the dregs of the league, no longer the #1 team in anyone's book. Bills kept their chance of reaching .500 with a good defensive effort against the Lions, winning 14-12 :woot: ...Lions probably wanted to make sure their record stood. :naughty: And Moss made a huge impact with one catch as the Titans fall to the Dolphins, Favre with 3 more INTs :rofl: and the Jets remain lucky in OT again getting past the Browns, Pats really need a win tonight in Pittsburgh. :fingerscrossed:

Wow, what a stunner... Glad I didn't put any money on this game. :sweat:

Thing is, why did the Cowboys show up for the new coach and not for fired coach Wade Phillips?

Guess you'll have to ask the players on his other teams, Broncos and Bills, the same question, knowing the NFL and their retreads, he'll have another job :ohcrap: ...all 3 of his ex-teams won today. :wow:

Seems like a lack of professionalism by the Cowboy players... Not surprising, considering what an arrogant bunch they are.

And look where that arrogance has gotten them. :bleh: Quite a few of them will be playing for contracts or jobs for next year, sure Jones is gonna make some major changes, guess job security is what will be their driving factor now.

Pats lead the Steelers, 17-3, in the 3rd. :victory:

EDIT: 23-3, now. :mrgreen:

Sort of a shocker, huh? :sweat: Thought they had a good chance of winning but not like this, Brady is certainly on fire, glad to see they've got Welker involved again too. :applaud:
