I get the feeling that the entire NFC West is going to be fun this year....

[mainepatsfan]

A better ending than the Boys-Jags game.

[Cyclopean Squid]

Cards escape with a win.

[marajade]

Surprise... not.

[mainepatsfan]

You don't need to tell me. Every time they show a close up of Brady all the women in the room hoot and holler.

[dfwgator]

The Cowboys defense is seriously overrated as we learned today.

And their offensive line has to be the worst in the league.

It's going to be a long year in Big D.

[marajade]

Surprisingly, he's not my type.

[dfwgator]

Bledsoe is so done.

[marajade]

Here's my prediction for the year: Cardinals will have a better record than the Niners.

I sadly have to agree. Bledsoe sucking and Parcells squatting on a first quarter lead is not surprising. I did expect a faster and tougher defense though, especially against a mediocre Jags offense. And I knew if the O-line wasn't better the team wouldn't be. They're not.

"Same old thing we've seen endlessly since Parcells took over and a few years prior..."

Parcells definitely did not have his team ready to play the opener today. And at the end of the third quarter, during which Bledsoe produced nothing, he should have put Romo in to see if he could wake up the offense. Actually, TO played decently today, so he can't be blamed. The goats of the game were the lousy offensive line who folded like wet newspaper.

[marajade]

"Parcells squatting on a first quarter lead is not surprising."

That's not really like him though. I wonder what's up?

[dfwgator]

The Dallas highly-touted defense flat out sucked in the second half.

[KevinDavis]

I agree.. He needs to step down....

[KevinDavis]

The Bears will win the North...

[mainepatsfan]

I don't think there's anyone disputing that.

[marajade]

I turn on NBC and there's Chris Collingsworth. Yuck.

[KevinDavis]

As a Bears fan he should continue playing.....

[Dysart]

And I may have been the loudest voice on their behalf. They just wilted out there today. Then again, maybe they just are not as good as we believed. It's only 1 game in a 16 game season, but changes/adjustments are in order. I hope Purcells has the will to make them.

[KevinDavis]

What happen to JB?? He use to be on Fox???
