NFL Thoughts

- Will someone explain to me what in the world Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin was thinking when he called for that onside kick?...in the end the Steelers won the game, but that was still a bonehead call to make...

- Why were the Green Bay Packers only rushing 3 defensive players on the last play of the game?...they should have put a pass rush on Ben Roethlisberger to force him to throw the ball early...

- I wish the St. Louis Rams would go back to their old yellow and blue uniforms (photo, right)...the blue and gold are nice, but their yellow and blue are classic...

- The last few weeks Brett Favre hasn't looked so MVP-like...

- Whatever happened to former Vikings quarterback Tommy Kramer?...

- The Oakland Raiders took the scalps of 4 possible playoff teams this year: Eagles, Bengals, Steelers, and now Broncos...not bad for a team that is considered dysfunctional...

- The Giants must establish Brandon Jacobs early if they have any ideas of beating the Redskins on Monday night...

- Dallas played a great game on Saturday night to beat the perfect Saints...but one big win does not clean the slate for the organization and Tony Romo with their dismal December record...

- Who would have thought Jerome Harrison would have the third best rushing day ever in the NFL...I am not annointing Harrison as the next league star, but the Browns should use him a lot over the next two games to see if he is truly a number 1 runner...

- Now that Eric Mangini has given Brady Quinn a fair shot at quarterback, I have been able to evaluate his handling of the position...to me, Quinn has a lot of work to do...the Browns should unload Quinn and Derek Anderson and sign a veteran quarterback who can step in right away...


- With Tampa Bay's victory, it looks like the St. Louis Rams have the inside track for the number one pick in the NFL Draft...
