[ABG(anybody but Gore)]

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

My guess is he's already bored in Dallas and fed up with Jerry Jones who forced TO on him. I seriously doubt he'll be back next year.

[mainepatsfan]

He went back to CBS.

[marajade]

He's back on CBS. That why they have Joe Buck and take it on the road. But I miss Jillian.

[marajade]

I like Purcells. Its a shame what JJ does to coaches.

[mainepatsfan]

What percentage of the commercials during an NFL broadcast don't involve Peyton Manning?

[MikefromOhio]

Easily.

Hell if the Bears don't have home field advantage throughout the playoffs, they can only blame themselves.

[marajade]

The one with him coming out of the football is really good. OMG Tiki Barber... don't get me started.

[KevinDavis]

I agree... They put on a solid performance today...

[MikefromOhio]

about 0.5%.....

Unless he wins the big one here soon, he's going to be going DIRECTLY to A-Rod territory.

[mainepatsfan]

All right I won't.

[MikefromOhio]

yeah but I don't think GB is much of a test.

The best thing that can be said for them is that they scored 26 points rather easily. That and their defense is one of the best in the past 30 years :)

[mainepatsfan]

Oh he's definitely knocking on that door.

It's not TO's fault Parcells has underachieved with Dallas in now his 4th year. He always is ready to blame someone too - players, media, assistants, etc. However, last I checked coaches are responsible for developing a team, not repeating the same stupid penalties, turnovers, lackluster play, etc. Parcellshas failed to do in Dallas what he used to do in NY with Bellichiks help.

[Cyclopean Squid]

Imagine how bad it will be if he ever gets a ring

[Dysart]

I'm glad some team in Texas won a football game this week. Great pictures. Did you take them yourself? Has the President ever made an appearance at the a game? I know he's more of a baseball man, but I bet those kids would love to have him show up.

[marajade]

I really do love the game as a sport. Really. I just don't want to give you all a false impression of me.

[marajade]

I know I shouldn't let my personal dislike for TO cause me to have an emotional response, but since I'm a woman I just can't help myself.

[Archie Bunker on steroids]

Rypien was not a one hit wonder. The Skins kept Williams around too long. Actually the season that the Skins won the SB, they rotated Schroeder and Williams...neither could get the job done and Joe could not decide. Doug never did a thing to help his cause as both him and Jay would look great and than look like crap. Williams flat out sucked the next year 88 and lived on his amazing 2Q against the Broncos reputation. In 89 Williams had back surgery and they bought out Rypien who did pretty good. Williams was ready to play against Dallas late in the season...at the time Dallas was winless(Johnson's 1st year) Williams could not do squat and I kept thinking even with 10 minutes left...just bring Rypien in even though they were down 17-3. I was pissed thinking that we could've helped Dallas go winless in 89.

Rypien had a good 90 and almost led Washington to an undefeated season in 91....we lost the absurd game to Dallas at RFK and week 16 to Philly (meaningless). Rypien had two more good seasons, but just got too slow afoot and started getting banged up.

He was Washington's last good QB. Shraeder and Williams drove me too the funny farm.

[KevinDavis]

Don't forget about the 85 Bears.... Down the road is going to be a better test.. The Bears needs to work on the Red Zone it could have been more points than 26-0...
