Two shutouts in a row Looks like things are coming good at the right time for Dallas.

Our D was superb last night. Phillie being Dire helped.

Big steps to go to the next level, but for the first time in a few seasons, I feel confident about a Dallas side.

Hes been playing with those injurys for the last month thats why hes been underperforming, Jeez I thought Adam Schefter was up to date

If the injurys were that bad he wouldnt have been playing most of the game yesterday IMO. Its only the Ravens anyway 20 points will beat them .

I cant believe just how poor the Bungals were last night, I know that they didnt have anything to play for but Carson Palmer must have been gutted at the amount of drops his WRs had !!

I cant see them getting anywhere near the Jets next week but I suppose stranger things have happened.

Yeah i think he already knew i was just working my way throught his Tweets. He's well worth following if your on Twitter, get to know all the breaking stories very quickly. Have to be worried about an underperforming Brady without Welker. The fear factor rankings on nfl.com make interesting reading. They have the Saints at 6 after losing 3 on the bounce.

Good to see my Rams clearly let the 49ers off the hook to enable us to take the #1 pick in the draft

Everyone seems to being loving SD at the moment and the last time that happened we blew it aginst the Pats in the Divisional round. History could repeat itself.....

Just reading through them and they just seem strange in most aspects.

Why is Dallas #1? They have won 5 of 7 and that is the key thing they mention. We have won 7 of 8. A 1 point loss and a victory over Dallas in that time (along with the best defence in the NFC) and i don't think we should be #1 either by the way.

New Orleans are demoted to 6 with 3 loses in the NFC but Indy only to 2nd in the AFC with 2 loses. Doesn't make sense.

The Patriots shouldn't be 3. They have lost their best reciever and Brady is damaged. Bellicheat can't use his digicam this year.

The Jets should be much higher. They have the no1 defence and a great running offence. The only draw back for them is having a rookie QB.

Sensational breaking news that will shock nobody. The Redskins fired Jim Zorn in the early hours of this morning.

Get ready for the "shock" announcement of Shannahan being hired

That's been going around for several weeks now.

Looks like Wes Welker has damaged his ACL and MCL. Poor bugger. Hopefully he'll be right for next season. I bet Miami wish they'd not let him go.

Yeah they are odd. I'm guessing it's because the Cowboys have turned it on in the big games this year? I think the thing thats going against the Pack is the easy schedule you had. Aren't you well below .500 against winning teams?

Nothing from the last 17 weeks matters now to be fair. It's a whole new ball game now with some interesting matchups to play out.

Re: NFL Chat 2 : Mon Jan 04, 2010 1:00 pm  

The Washington Redskins have officially fired Jim Zorn.

No. We are 4-4 against teams at .500 or over. We had a soft schedule but we did a good job with it, i believe New Orleans had the easiest schedule however, or at least i'm pretty sure i read that. We were always going to face more losing teams going up against the divisions we did. Usually always 2 losing teams in our own division (4 games a year), we played your division (2 or 3 losing teams a year) and the AFC North (always 1 losing team). That makes it guaranteed we'd be facing at least 7 games against losing teams, in actual fact we faced 8 teams with losing records.

Dallas are 5-5 against teams at .500 or over.
