I loved it!  We had a great time doing JJ imitations.  He is entertaining.
maybe this type of behaviour pumps up his team.  He sure gets into the game!

Personally I don't care for him but what would football be if all coaches were
cool, calm, and collected!

And also let's not forget what the Eagles did to Washington in the 1990 game
at the Vet. The Redskins ran out of quarterbacks in that game :) However if
there is an NFC East rival that the Eagles fear, it would be the Redskins.
For some reason the Skins play the Eagles better than any other team.

Questino for you all.

I'm a broncos fan.  play along with my scenario for a minute....

buffalo and miami, pittsburgh, and san diego all win divisions; one
 of the first two doesn't, but makes the playoffs as a wild card, 
leaving two spots open.

denver wins the last 2 games, against seattle and k.c.  

now, what are denver's chances?  as in, what i do want to hope for?
 if k.c. loses to the giants, and houston wins their last two, then
 i want no one else to tie with k.c. and the broncos, since denver
 would win the tiebreaker.  does anyone know what other situations
 i want?

all assumptions are based on denver winning their last 2.  thanks -

Yep, he had scored a TD in 6 straitght games, but that ended in that
*bizarre* Falcons game (when's the last time you saw a team DOMINATE
so thoroughly on both sides of the line and almost lose???).  Not
that I'll complain - I was a Saint fan during the Dark Ages.  Just

There is an exception in the rules governing that:

Thank you for a refreshing point of view from a normal Cowboy fan. 
This I respect!  I have never argued that the 'Boys are NOT the YOUNGEST
team. I give them credit. Although they are an intense rival vs the
Niners, I do really respect them after all the BS settles down.
Madden is not always right though! Although I think Madden is the
best, he cannot forsee the future any better than you or me. I just
think Aikman has that "magic" missing. It cannot be taught or measured
on a scale. Unitas had it. Montana had/has it, well you know what I
mean, don't you? Yes, I know there are great QBs out there who never won
the BIG ONE (SB), but Aikman just happens to be in the right team
(yeah, I know, so is MONTANA & YOUNG) and I don't think he will ever
win the SB under Johnson's tuletage. ANY team can take another team
down, that is unavoidable. I am not stupid and state unequivocally
that the 'Boys cannot ever beat the Niners. It is going to happen,
I just hope it is two-three years from now. :-) If the 'Boys go for
it and get it, I will be on of the first to say CONGRATS! Until then,
don't hold your breath. :-)

Before you bash this guy in front of the entire WORLD.  Remember he is picking
at 54% of the games correctly.  If you would have wagered the same amount on
every one of his picks for the entire season you would have made money.
For all 100 unit bets, you would show a profit of 780 units.  Not bad.
I consider any non loss good.

I agree with Dallas and SF(I'm a homer on this one) but I can't
believe the Steelers won't be back in the second division in a
couple years. They look real good right now, no doubt, but are they
that deep?

>Minnesota- some help on the O line, a decent QB and they're set.
Green has to prove out his ability to draft - I'm not saying he
can't, just that he's built this years team with a lot of plan B
level castoffs and coached the hell out of them.  Next year I think
they go 7 and 9.  Can you really count on your defense to give you
14 points a game as far as building a perennial winner?  If Green
can evaluate talent as well as he can discipline a team, they'll
prove you right.  The ownership will give good support, I think.

>Packers- another WR to compliment Sharpe, some help with the O line.
I don't agree here even though I'm a big Holmgren fan.  I don't
think they'll compete financially.  Aren't they at the bottom in the
salary averages?

I think San Diego will be the next up and comer.  I've never been a
big fan but they have strong young talent and the ability to add to
it in Bobby B.  I'm not sold on their coaching staff, however.  They
have an awesome defensive backfield, both lines are very solid, an
impact linebacker, good running game, and a qb who is learning fast.

As long as Joe Gibbs is at Washington, they'll be in the SB hunt
every few years.  IMO he is the best coach overall in the NFL and
I HATE Washington.  They have an interesting rhythm of looking like
hell one year, getting a good draft to add to an already solid team,
then popping in the hunt 2 years later.  They also have an amazing
knack of making playoff and SB stars out of journeymen.
