Upon Further Review…

...I guess I will fire him. That conclusion came quickly after the Cowboys meltdown against the Packers. How quickly J.J. went from ‘not during the season’ to ‘pack your bags and get off the premises!’ Next in line? Not Jason Garrett. He’s a stop-gap. No one believes in him anymore. The bottom dropped out of his coaching stock. Place your bets, ladies and gentlemen: I say it’s Jon Gruden’s job for the taking.

...Say it isn’t so! Shawne Merriman showed up in Buffalo. He left ten minutes later… limping. Yep, you’d pull up lame, too.

...Speaking of the Bills, the Seahawks signed former Bill great J.P. Losman (pronounced LOSS-man). Guess the Charlie Whitehurst experiment isn’t looking so hot to Pete Carroll.

...That loss in Atlanta last Sunday wasn’t the end of the world. We’re still in good shape. We’re still on track in the race to ten.  I’ll say it, we’re still among the best in the NFC.  So now let’s not go and lay an egg this weekend against the Panthers!

...Hanging Chads in Miami?  Sitting Henne for Pennington.  Isn’t that sort of like choosing a president between George Bush and Al Gore?  What, is Martha Stewart not on the ballot?  Where’s Parcells when they need him?  He’d have an opinion.

...So Wade Phillips was the first. Who is the next coach to fall? Has to be Chan Gailey, right?  Singletary? Fox?

Okay, so I’m a little out of sync this week with my posts. Virus took out the harddrive, as I said. I’m still not back up to speed.  But my picks are improving. Can’t go anywhere but up as bad as they’ve been going. Here’s how they’ll fall this week.  I promise!  Ravens over Falcons, Bills over Lions, Bears over Vikings, Jets over Browns, Colts over Bengals, Titans over Dolphins, Bucs over Panthers, Texans over Jags, Chiefs over Broncos, Giants over Cowboys, Cards over Seahags, Rams over Niners, Steelers over Pats, Eagles over Redskins.
