Yes, Snyder is the poor imitation of Jerry Jones (laughing @ you, Cowboys!). The problem I have w Shanahan is his son as the O-coordinator. That's just asking for trouble.

And, yes, Rex is just a bad QB.
 
When the schedule first came out, last April or something, I saw: Minn and Dallas coming to Lambeau, both Sunday night games, 2 weeks apart. I thought: "oh shit".

Now ... the Cowboys? Bring it. We could use a scrimmage to sharpen up the second team. We'll even bring extra ice for the ref's arms. Awful rude to make a ref throw so many flags...

I am not sure bad is strong enough

Hey bearfan, who was the QB for the Bears' last team to make the Super Bowl?  :P

The number of football teams that are just crumbling before our eyes is fascinating. The Redskins are a mess, but even less so than the Cowboys and the Vikings, who just fired their second-best player (Moss) apparently because he yelled at a caterer.

They went to the Super Bowl in spite of him instead of because of him :)

Flying to Chicago next week to go to the Bears-Vikings game .. cannot wait!
 
Meh. Raiders tried to give it to KC, but we just couldn't pull it off.  Ugly game with all those penalties!
 
The Packers-Cowboys game was a lot of fun. I spent most of it laughing my head off at the Cowboys. I can't believe how bad they are now.
 
I can't tell how good the Packers are.  Their defense is starting to look amazing -- a total of one touchdown conceded in the last two games combined.  But that could just be a combination of (a) terrible weather against the Jets in week 8 and (b) the Cowboys offense is just dismal without Romo.  Regardless, Clay Matthews is effing GOOD.  Too bad for the Pack they have a bye this week -- they were starting to get on a roll.  
 
I feel the Pack sweeping the rest of the North this year.  I think the Bears are squeeking by, but won't win against a real team.  Cutler will blow it.  The Vikings are in turmoil and will be lucky to finish the season 500.  Detroit... not this year.

Any thoughts on the Browns?  They could be on the verge of becoming a real team.  I know that division is super tough, but the beating they put on the Pats was just awesome.

Even though i'm a Bengals fan I was thinking the same thing about the Browns if they keep playing like they have been the last couple games I could see alot more wins coming their way.
 
There was a stat on ESPN last night, toughest schedule (based on this years W-L). Cleveland is #3. They need to slay giants all season long to survive, esp in that division. Like Cincy did last year.

Toughest schedule: Bills. They might be the best winless team you've ever seen.
 
Flying to Chicago this weekend to go to the Bears-Vikings game .. and the 25th Anniversary celebration of the 1985 team (greatest ever IMO).
 
Ah shit, that means no Ditka on ESPN.  :mad:

(I'm assuming he'd be going to a 25th anniversary party. If Ditka passed on that to do ESPN, then either he's a douche, or his bosses are. I doubt that.)
 
Actually, I heard on 670 The Score that Ditka and Buddy Ryan are going to be on one of the radio programs. Together!
