WELL EXCUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEEE ME.
I was away, and havent had time to post, and besides, we're all in
 mourning (<-spelling?) at this time.

I watched the replay about 50 times in slow-mo and I cant see any major 
twist or turn.  It was just a slight wobble when he was cutting around a 
defender.  I want to believe its not as serious as some believe it to be, 
he is undergoing surgery today.  

It's hard to believe that LT our team captain, our motivator, THE MAN for 
the defense is gone.   I was hopping for an end of season retire of the 
jersey after a record number of sacks at the last home game against K.C.

So who is gonna motivate our rookies, who will fill the gap.  Pepper Johnson 
can certainly perk things up, but not like LT.

The reason why I hate living in L.A. is that not only do both home teams
suck, if one team is playing on another channel at the same time they don't
give you both games. They force the home team down your throat when the home
team is playing away. It sucks! The Raiders suck. The Rams suck... 

Anyway, the Cowboys tamed the Lions today 34-7. Emmitt Smith had three
touchdowns on 19 carries but had less than 100 yards. 

Irvin and Aikman had some great hookups (I saw a couple in the highlights).
Irvin had one touchdown today.

Anyway.... I'll wait for the more detailed reports by other people who got
to see the game.

GO COWBOYS!!!
The best record in the NFL!

Dent *was* MVP of the '85 Super Bowl (but I remember
McMichael just crumbling the inside of the Pats'
line, which freed Dent; anyone else think that vote
wasn't as clear-cut as the newspapers made it sound?),
which is why some people think of him.  Leading the
league in sacks can't be done by a fluke, by that's
all I've been able to regard Gastineau; he was beatable.
Green, LT, and Page, in contrast, *dominated*.  They
were terrors.

One thing that really bugged me about this game was that Bengal running backs
continually hurdled Browns defenders.  If I recall correctly Eric Metcalf did
this on a kickoff his rookie year and was given a 15 yard penalty for hurdling. 
Is this a rule or am I just going completely nuts? If it is a rule, why wasn't
it called?

I agree with you.  I don't think that a running back really gets into
a good rhythm until he's carried 20+ times.  And while Mark Higgs has
been very good for the Dolphins, I think it's becoming more and more
obvious that he's not nearly as good as Humphrey.

I like Mark Higgs a lot, but he's not the Pro-Bowl player that
Humphrey is. Mark does bounce off the pile sometimes, but he doesn't
cut back nearly as well as Humphrey and I don't think that he sees the
holes quite as well.

Today's question for DolFans to ponder is:  Why not start Humphrey in
the backfield with Paige?  Then the Dolphins could run Humphrey behind
Paige for the power runs, or they could throw to Humphrey or Paige out
of the backfield.

An important development for the Cowboys:  after missing his first two
attempts against the Eagles, Lin Elliot has made seven straight field goals,
including two which were taken back (both on penalties).  His kicks in the
Detroit game all looked solid.  I hope he has finally gained some form and
will continue kicking like this the rest of the season!

A couple notes of interest:  San Franciso plays 5 of it's final 7 games
at home;  New Orleans plays 4 of it's 7 final games at home, 3 of them
in a row;  New Orleans plays 3 AFC opponents (Mia, Buf at home, away at
Jets) while 49er's play only Miami at home (Miami fans should be a bit
worried... back to back away games against two powerful NFC teams); 
After Miami, New Orleans plays on only 4 days rest against Atlanta

Good point, Bill.  Also, Smith hasn't caught Walker in terms of
yards from scrimmage and Smith's working behind a better OL.

Was this because Palo Alto didn't want Stanford as part of their city?
Or (more likely) that Stanford was afraid people would get Palo Alto
and East Palo Alto confused, and that would never do for the mighty
Stanford alumni.

And what does any of this have to do with the NFL?

This is correct; the Seahawks "play" indoors.  But certainly

Seahawks play, or for that matter, why they're allowed to play. :-)

	   What?! Are you on drugs? Did you not see the Cowboy offensive line
   hold off the vaunted Eagle D-line, even dominating them at certain points 
   in the game? The Cowboy O-line is looking very good and doing a good job
   of opening holes for Emmitt to run through. They were the least penalized 
   line in the league lasty year, and have a good chance of repeating that
   this year. Sound high-quality to me. Get a clue.

So, what you are saying, is that the performance of the OL has an impact on
Emmit's performance.  Wow.  Now there is a thought.  And you use the same
game as JJ to prove your point.  Wait a minute!  Does that mean that Emmit's
yardage, by itself, doesn't prove that he is the best back in the league?
Now there is a thought.

Get a clue yourself, James.  I'd feel like I was shooting fish in a barrel
but I wasn't trying to fool ya son, that was sarcasm.

The Steelers' stadium (Three Rivers) is outdoors. It's one of the smaller
stadiums in the league, and very condusive to swirling winds. It's also 
on (ugh) artificial turf.

I couldn't give a complete listing, but it'd be easier to list the indoor
fields since there are less of them. Some are: Houston, Indianapolis, 
Seattle, New Orleans, Atlanta, Detroit, and Minnesota. I think Dallas has
a retractable dome.

One of my favorite stadiums is Soldier Field. It should be the model for the 
league!

    I can't remember the last time I saw SO MANY cheaps shots as I saw last
    night on MNF (9'ers vs. Falcons).  One team showed up to play and the 
    other team showed up to hurt people.  Hmmmmm, you must be saying to 
    yourself, which team is he refering to?     NOT!!!!  I think that the 
    game (excuse to hurt players on the other team, depending on your 
    perspective) showed, once again, which team is class and which team is
    ALL TALK AND CHEAP SHOTS.  I think the non-optimal ;-) team had better
    watch out, otherwise they might find that other opponents might be less
    forgiving and SOMEBODY MIGHT GET HURT, ESPECIALLY VERY LOUD-MOUTHED 
    CORNERBACKS.  Gee, wouldn't that be ashame.  Naturally, I would prefer
    that no player gets hurt, I just pointing out possibilities based on
    what I have seen so far.  All of this has been discussed before, but I
    felt the need to bring it up again.  Apologies to those who have little
    or no interest in the NFC West.  And to those who feel the need to send
    a nice, friendly note, feel free, "I'm all ears" to quote a famous 
    presidental candidate.
