Hmmm...the Cowboys look like they're dealing with a little case of the blahs.

They look far from impressive against a terrible Bengals team.

it has been an interesting game...the Cowboys looked like they would blow out cincy early (as they probably should be) but they let them hang around and now its a a game. Romo looks very average confidence wise all of a sudden. They should just pound the ball with Jones and Barber behind that massive line....and I suspect will win easy.

[Machiavelli]

Romo just threw a pick.

The Dolphins won by one TD in large part to a terrible PI call and yet you would have thought they just throttled the Chargers by 50+ points.

Congrats on the win and get focused on sweeping the Pats this year!

One terrible PI call doesn't make or break a team, not scoring on 4th and goal when you have LT is what lost them them game. Good teams find a way to win through bad calls. Since it was uncatchable then why pass interfere the guy?

Ugh. The Eagles offense was freakin' anemic again today. They got absolutely zero push from the O-line in the run game. It's pretty much already time to start looking ahead to next season in Philly. An 0-2 record in the division and a 1-3 record in the conference is a big hole to get out of.

McNabb has not looked great in the last few games. If he can't turn this offense around (and I realize it's not his fault) he's going to be chased out of Philly in the offseason.

Because the Charger defender was 100% clueless as to where the ball was.

Didn't totally cost them the game but it sure would have been different if the Chargers had the ball on the 50 yard line after the punt.

They only have themselves to blame for the loss as they should have scored on that goal line play and numerous others times during the game. I am no Chargers fan so either way I don't care but it was the game on and it was a terrible call that gave the Dolphins 20 huge yards that made a big difference in the game.

All of a sudden the Redskins, who most people overlooked, are looking pretty good.

At least your not a Chiefs fan rubecube. Its getting so bad I get excited when they get their first first down of the game in the third quarter.

Well it got worse for us this morning.

I'll bet he plays.

[Pagal4321]

Wonder what my Vikes chances are tonight to pull out a W.....I'd go with 7.5% chance. Hopefully AP runs for 200+ yards!!

And now EJ Henderson is out for the year with "dislocated toes".

I wonder? As someone who has had broken ribs I don't think it would be possible. When I cracked my ribs it was on the Saturday of a long weekend and I had a few days to kind of heal up (or get over the initial pain) and didn't miss a day of work. But I wasn't rushing through a line of scrimmage with big line backers launching themselves into me like missles either. Maybe he can take a needle and play. Will be interesting to see.

Fumble or not?

I think Hochuli got it right.

Nice helmet to helmet hit there...geez. Hope they fine that guy.

Two bad fumble calls go Minny's way. They were tough calls but still calls that should be made correctly.

Hochuli is having a terrible season so far. Its too bad I normally like the guy.

You can't fault Hochuli for a missed facemask call. He had no doing in the first fumble.

I think Peterson was down on this last one....and they could've called a facemask AND helmet to helmet hit there.

The facemask wasn't his fault but he will get blamed for it because of what has happened earlier. I guess I should have said tough year for him and his crew.

And it isn't just Hochuli and his crew, this year there seems to be much more bad calls than usual.

I thought that Peterson clearly had started to lose control before he was down. It looked like a clear fumble to me.

[Saint Troy]

I have no hair or voice left, unreal.

[atb]

Oh man, Bush had that one if he didn't fall...

[Displaced Flames fan]

That was one hell of a kick by Grammatica. Looked like the one Matt Prater hit in KC last week. 50+ with at least 10 yards to spare.

[Displaced Flames fan]

Oh my, he's one stumble from 3 punt return TD's in one game.

I would like to mention that Brad Childress' play calling is abysmal.

They were ahead most of the game and all they did was throw...or try to. Stupid. Even if you aren't succesful running the ball, you're killing clock and wearing down the defense.
