Dallas needs only one thing to be a contender for the Super Bowl.
Something they have not been able to acquire in years...........

.........a positive winning attitude...

I think given enough time that Parsels can bring that back...but will Jones give him the time?

....The Cowboys suck.................................and have sucked................

....and will continue to suck..............as long as the players are able to articulate sentences such as: "Well, we tried" etc, etc, etc, ............

Whatever happened to the We WIll Win Damn It and nothing else matters attitude?

Go find Jimmy Johnson please and ask him............................

I think you're probably right. I'm trying not to buy into all the hype, but man, is he good or is he good?

David Greene might make it into one of the later rounds, I'm sorry but I have no idea who David Pollack even is.

Dallas needs a complete overhaul, pure and simple. Except for Roy Williams and maybe a couple linemen, they just don't have the talent to compete with anyone. Attitude or no.

Like snuffypuffer said, David Greene will be a second plus round pick, as far as Pollack is concerned, I do not know enough about him.



Hmmm....sounds like a true cowboy fan speaking. With that, I could not agree more. On this forum I have been patient when talking about the cowboys, but joc, you have opened the door. Having said that, I think Jerry tries too hard and too fast and it shows. He was granted a wish when he first took control of the franchise and hired JJ, but now some of those early(post JJ) mistakes are costing the team over the long run, not to mention the attitude; it all starts at the top. I think Jerry needs to stay in his skybox, shut his mouth, and let Bill do what Bill does best; he isn't one the greatest all time NFL coaches for no reason.

Overall, give the man (Bill) some time to put the pieces in place and I think the cowboys will be resurrected over the next couple of years. Yes, he will be there for at least the next two years (plenty of time).

Now that it's out the way, how about the National Championship? USC -vs- OU??
Matt Leinart or Adrian Peterson for Heisman??

I want Adrian Peterson to win, that dude is just unreal. And that's not just because I'm biased towards OU, the kid's really, really good. But I have my doubts as to whether they'll give the Heisman to a freshman. Plus Jason White has already won Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year. Peterson was voted Offensive Newcomer of the Year, though.

OU vs USC, this game would rock. But wouldn't you like to see Utah get in the title game? I think that would be pretty cool.

Yes, Mr. Peterson is outstanding, I would not be suprised if he did win. I do not see the bias, now if you didn't support him, then and only then, would I question it.

To see Utah in the BCS would/will be amazing to me, let alone they make the championship game. Go Utes! Don't you like the change of pace?

I think Utah is supposed to be going to the Fiesta Bowl, which rocks. I'd love to see them in the championship game, though.

I really wish Adrian Peterson would play at OU all four years, but as good as he is, I think he's gonna be leaving school early.

Unfortunately for Oklahoma, our youth, and people in general, you're probably right. It is very discouraging when these top athletes take off early. Does money supersede an education? Besides that, if you are that good, what is the problem riding it out another year, earn the degree, and reap the benefits thereafter?

The sad truth is, he'll have a job somewhere, just because he's Adrian Peterson and played so well at OU for the couple years he'll be there. Plus, he's going to be making a lot of money in the NFL, so he can go to college later on in life if he wants.

Be honest, if you had a few million dollars waiting on you, whether you finished college or not, wouldn't you take it? I know I would.

Now you have me thinking. Hmm, it would be a hard choice for me. I tend to try and cover myself first, but then again, it would really depend on the situation I was currently in. Years of brainwashing has led me to this understanding. If I had to decide right now, I would say the money, but if I was already in, let's say my junior year of college, well I don't know, it is a tough one. How about the chance just to be in those shoes? Difficult decision, but it has to be made.

Anyways, best of luck to Mr. Peterson regardless if he goes pro (most likely) or stays in school. He has definitely earned it on the field and hey, he might win the Hesiman.

Snuffypuffer, we have been talking about this for awhile now, so are you ready for that much anticipated match up? USC -vs- OU?? Go Trojans! Any say on the outcome?

Edit - Almost forgot; how about those Utes......BCS bound!

You know, Utah is gonna kill Pitt

Oklahoma over USC, 35-21. Of course I'm just being biased.

I like your biased confidence, but SC is going take this one. Of course this is coming from another biased and confident soul.........USC 37, OU 17. Let us not forget about last year's national championship snub. Payback.

What a match up though, four Heisman candidates in the same game. I don't know if I am more excited to see USC play or watching these four individuals perform. Best wishes to both teams and all hopefuls.

Yes, Utah over Pitt. Will this make the college football gods change their mind about the BCS? I sure hope so.

Playoffs, man. We need playoffs. That's the only real way to settle any of this nonsense. And forget all that nonsense about strenght of schedule and all that bs, just wins and losses, put the teams with the best records together and let them play to decide who the champion is. That's how you do it everywhere else.

OU is so gonna win, but it should be a great game. Been looking forward to it all year.

I could not agree more.

Whew.....the Heisman race was a lot closer to me than what the final tally showed. I really thought one of the OU (Peterson or White) players was going to win it. NOTE - Peterson had the highest marks for a freshmen in Heisman history. Well congrats to all five participants.......hey speaking of Utah, not only did they make the BCS, but they had a finalist for the most coveted trophy in football.

Yes, it will be a great game, but USC already has it wrapped up like a present, ready to give OU saying merry belated Christmas!!

I'm gonna remember you've said this, in advance.

You notice you and I are the only folks who ever post in here? Kinda spooky, ain't it?

GO TROJANS!! We are number 1 , but seriously, it couldn't get any better with OU being in the game. Great program, it just so happens that they are playing my team. May the best deserve the victory.



Maybe their teams aren't doing so well . Or maybe we're the only ones who can see this thread ? Spooky, .

How about those Steelers, I've noticed that you haven't said much about them lately and they're kicking butt! On the other hand, I haven't spoken (typed) too much about the cowboys either (for obivious reasons), who are getting the butts kicked. We got next year .

I don't want to buy into the hype I will save my talking for when the Steelers win the Super Bowl.

The hype?? First, I would like to say that I understand what you are saying, but from the outside looking in, this team has far exceeded the public's usually high expectations (not the fans or the teams goals) and believe it or not, I am excited about it. Hey, I may not be a fan of the steelers, but I am a fan of football. Go steelers, of course if the cowboys could have anything to do with preventing their run, I would be all about it . I think we are going to look back at this season, no matter what happens and understand what diamond in the rough that Pittsburgh really is/was.

Still waiting on that cowboys/steelers superbowl rematch . Ha Ha , the cowboys aren't going anywhere this season............. .

Your Cowboys had their chance to beat the Steelers weeks ago, and they, of course, blew it. (It was a great game, but neener anyhow ) There's a good chance of them going 15-1 this year, with a rookie quarterback. And they've beaten the two best teams in football, other than themselves, handily both times. Roethlisberger is the real deal, and he's only gonna get better. Can you say dynasty, boys and girls? New England is gonna have to play in Pittsburgh for the title game, and won't that be grand? Whoever wins the AFC is gonna win the Superbowl, I have a feeling about this.

Okay, is that better?

Atlanta Falcons for real or not?

They've won their division, which is good. I think that the Falcons are a very good team, but not good enough to get past the Eagles. Just my opinion, though.

I never liked football . To me it seems like watching a bunch of apes lined up suddenly bashing into each other at the sound of the word "hike !" . It gets boring pretty fast .

I like playing football the friendly two-hand touch way in the park . It isn't fun to watch though...

Bravo snuffypuffer, bravo , hey we are all witnessing a rarity. They are doing [enter expletive here] great.

From my stand point, they are making the NFL exciting and very watchable this year, which is saying a lot. I can't wait for the game on Sunday against the Giants.

Cowboys will prevail.


I have to agree that they will fall in the NFC. I think the Eagles will take it all. But not to worry though, Michael Vick is the real deal and he will make the people around him better. Let this team learn and progress and everything will fall into place and succeed. Give it a year or two.

GO SOONERS!!!!!

Just wanted to say that

never mind

Wow, I never expected that outcome . I really think that OU's gameplan was off, I think because of last years unfortunate loss that they really came into the orange bowl a little too hungry and were caught off guard. I know they are a very talented team and under different circumstances I think it would have been a closer game with the result up in the air.

I look forward to seeing them in the top five next year and Peterson is going to be an animal, look out college rushing record.

Terrell Owens is gone, but I am going to stick with my pick for the superbowl: Eagles.

HOW THE HELL IS SOCCER FOR WUSSES WHEN DO YOU SEE SOCCER PLAYERS RUNNING AROUND IN A LOAD OG GAY ARMOR, THE DAY WHEN YOU SEE DAVID BECKHAM RUNNIG AROUNG WEARING SHOULDER PADS A HELMET AND THE REST, THAT IS THE DAY WHEN YOU CAN CALL SOCCER FOR WUSSES.

Anyway i prefer Basketball

jsut watched rams win today. just watched jets crazy game too. let me see...jump to patriots win superbowl in 2005 CHECK.

Go Falcons!!!!!!
I have a question for someone more knowledgable about football than me. What is the NFL going to do about the antics of Randy Moss and others like him? When I saw how he celebrated one of his touchdown catches in the game against Green Bay I was shocked to say the least. Whatever happened to sportmanship and good taste? Do any of these athletes play the game for the love of it or is it all about "Me, look at me" and the almighty dollar?

i live in minnesota so i can say. plus i love the NFL. this is what i have to say. it was a rude, selfish act, and was classless. moss will be warned and that is all i think they will tell him. after the game their was an on-field interview with him. moss said, "i think people just want to make a big scene out of what i do."

i say well, look at what you are doing(honestly) and then tell us. moss is maybe the best weapon a team can have but that excuse won't last forever.

OH...GO PATRIOTS....

I picked the Patriots beating the Eagles, and since my Sooners couldn't be bothered to show up for their game, I feel a bit wary of, oh, what the hell. Go Steelers!

47 to 17 Falcons over the Rams. I am from near Atlanta, this is great news. Now I want the Vikings to beat the Eagles.

War Eagle!

I would rather watch SEC football over Pro any day of the week. But, I pulled for the Sooners in the Orange Bowl. Their win might have allowed Auburn to win the National Championship.

I was really happy when I first saw this thread, and then really sad when I saw it was gonna cover Pro Ball, and then really happy again when you mentioned college ball.....All that excitement, I'm exhausted....gotta go lay down.

Sorry about the game , BUT

WAR EAGLE!!!

someone's gonna have to educate me on american rugby teams, my favourite over here is newcastle falcons or gloucester wasps. xx

patriots all the way. steelers can go away. big ben is a fluke. by the way i am a huge miami dolphins fan and that's why i am going for the partiots. if you guys didn't know miami and the patriots are from the same confernece and division(AFC EAST). com'on the patriots beat peyton manning. who will win the NFC???? please a whole bunch of cream puffs.

Big Ben a fluke you say? Somebody's jealous because their team has a high draft pick. Whose team is 16-1? Hmm? Where are the Dolphins? Umm, yeah, so there.

If Oklahoma could have been bothered to show up for the Orange Bowl, they would have been National Champs. Auburn had a nice run, but ah, unless we get a college playoff, then there's really no national champion.

we will see if big ben lives up to his name when he replays the patriots. the playoffs are played at a different level.

prediction: 17 steelers to 23 patriots.

We shall see...

The Eagles with TO or no TO. I said it in the beginning and am sticking with it.

I respect the hell out of the Belichick's, but I really would like to see them get stuffed by the Big Ben led Steelers (again), even though I picked the Pats to be in the final show. The results of the Jets game only helped the Ben to become a better QB and with a double dose of RB, an awesome defense, not to mention home field advantage, I think they will make this a season to remember for the Steeler faithful.

How about Leinhart staying another year? Repeat, maybe? Go Trojans!!

Nono you got it wrong. quite a few people have died playing American football. its a very tough game and more tactical. Rugby is more like dragging people to the floor, american football is like a car hitting you lol

I know it is a long shot but I see the Falcons over the Eagles by 10 points.
As Martin Luther King once said "I have a dream"

I am a Cowboys fan and would like nothing more than the seeing the Eagles lose for a fourth straight time in the championship game, but I have to stick with them because that is who I said would win it from the beginning.

Atlanta is an impressive team this year and will be great in the future, I just don't think that it is their time yet......but I could be wrong.

Way back in the beginning, before the season even got started, I picked the Patriots to beat the Eagles in the Superbowl. I want my beloved Steelers to win it all, but New England is so good, and Roethlisberger's still a rookie. Still, go Steelers!

i think you will get your wish. but the nfc will lose. cream puffs

We are sad, but then again... we were right, as the Patriots lead the Steelers 31-17 near the end of the third quarter.

Of course, if something miraculous happens...

gah! the game!!

First off, I was wrong, recently I have been putting the Pats in my superbowl mix, but from the above quotes, I was off. I picked the Colts who are already out.

I really thought the Steel Machine was going to pull it off.........well, they will be great next year and probably end up right back in the AFC Championship game again.

This is a Superbowl where I was right on one of the picks, but to be honest, I don't want to see either win. Uhhh, since I picked the Eagles, let's go, win the damn thing already. Let's move to next season, but really, great job for both the Pats and Eagles, they are the best of the best this year !!

Dude, we both nailed one of our picks, way back when. That is, kind of scary...

snuffs my prediction of the score was wrong but didn't i tell a few people on here patriot were superbowl bound????? also patriots will win...
