Brian Griese wins another game for Tampa. I tell you what...just as Mike Shanahan in Denver makes average running backs look good, so does John Gruden resurrect average quarterbacks (such as Simms, Garcia, and Griese.)

Then we've got Kerry Collins leading the Titans to another victory...

Cowboys laid an egg today at home. Didn't play with any enthusiasm or energy today.

Romo's INT led to the game winning FG, as it turned out. Not enough of a running game today, either. They tried to hit home runs or something all day.

Every game in that division will be a dogfight. The best teams in the NFL right now reside in the NFC East. I still think the Cowboys will be SB favs by playoff time.

Everyone's overlooking the Skins defense. Played flat? The running game was shut down and the big plays were kept to a minimum. Campbell is playing really well right now -- no INTS!

Redskins certainly played a complete game tonight, I don't mean to overlook that.

But the Cowboys didn't even try to establish a running game, I don't think it was so much that the Skins shut it down. Barber only had 8 carries, and Felix Jones had none. That's a far cry from last week vs the Packers, when Barber had 28 carries for 142, and Jones had an additional 6 for 76 yards.

Still, hats off to the Redskins for coming to play.

Have you guys seen the hit on Anquan Boldin???

That's some scary stuff. Eric Smith has to be fined and suspended for that hit.

[Soulstation1]

yeah

boldin was knocked f@#$ing out, not sure why he was in there the game was over at halftime

[Soulstation1]

The Steelers always play at home on MNF

There was some hitting last night

I can't believe that Houston found a way to lose to Indy. Amazing. Indy looks awful.

[Shawn]

The Redskins are looking scary good....it could come down to a battle between them and the Giants as king of the NFC heap.

[Stefan Wood]

HELL YEAH!!!!!

No one, not even the fans in DC thought they could go 4-1 at this point in the season. Amazing!

Their defense is being overlooked, and Campbell is playing smart.

Go Skins!

True. But...Brackett, Mathis, and Wayne looked good when it counted.

[Tim McG]

Mike Nolan must die.

C'mon, York...enough of this rebuilding year bullshit. It's been five years of losing football.

Fire his ass already.

Geez.

Grrrr

The Cowboys were VERY lucky to escape with a win against the Bengals today. They looked flat for the whole game for the most part. Only Felix Jones seemed to play with any energy, to me.

Romo had another INT (8 in 8 straight games now), as well as a fumble. Both led to Bengals scores. And the with only a 24-22 lead, Romo threw a pass into the end zone that bounced off Miles Austin's hands, and into Patrick Crayton's. Could have been picked off and returned the other way for a TD.

I think the Boys are talented, but they haven't really gelled on either offense or defense this season, for some reason. Injuries have played a part of that. A couple of WRs have been out on and off all year, and probably their best cornerback, Terence Newman, has also been either out or significantly slowed all season. And Roy Williams is out, though depending on your opinion of his skills, that may or may not be a big deal.

But everyone else is dealing with injuries too, so no excuses. I think something's wrong with the coaching and play calling, not sure what though.

Speaking of teams that look awful, gee whiz, the Seahags...

But as a Jints fan, I enjoyed today's drubbing.

[Jim Alfredson]

In other news, the Lions still suck.

[Chuck Nessa]

Yes they do.

[Shawn]

In other news, the Lions still suck.

...but the Seahawks are catching up.

I'm so glad Holmgren is retiring after this season, time to go back to the drawing board with that team.

Actually, what miracle is going to need to take place for the NFC west to be truly competitive? Only the Cardinals have any signs of life this year...and they're going to get killed when they go up against the stronger teams down the stretch.

[papsrus]

Falcons have themselves a quarterback, looks like.

Jets safety Smith appealing 1-game ban, $50K fine for Boldin hit

Classy move.

You got BOTH right! Coach Candyland thinks it's the MEDIA'S fault that the poor little Boys can't concentrate, and why oh why can't the media just focus on the the fact that the Boys won and they're 4-1? Geez!*

*That last word is a direct quote from Coach Candyland himself!

The Cowboys have no leadership, but that's what happens when the owner is also the GM and the "head coach." (Technically Jerry isn't the head coach, but every coach since the Jimster (and maybe Barry) has been a Jerry puppet (i.e. everyone except Big Bill Parcells), and Wade Phillips is no exception)

[Big Al]

Now, how about this Vikings/Saints game? Whatta game!!! Who came up with the bright idea to punt the ball to Reggie Bush again after he's already run one punt back for a TD? Sure enough, he did it again. IF the Saints win tonight, it'll be because of him cuz apparently their offense hasn't done too much.

Don't forget da Bears!!! Even in the two games they blew in the end, they outplayed their opponents pretty much the whole game. Kyle Orton is looking better and better each week (almost 400 years Sunday!), and the defense is dominating without Tommie Harris and Nathan Vasher in there. Granted the Lions aren't the best competition, but even last week against Philly, the Bears are showing signs that they can contend this year.
