5 Things to be thankful for

1. The move Bill Parcels made to go to Tony Romo. He has turned the Cowboys completely around, he has been producing every game and has limited mistakes. Parcels didn't get alot of credit at the time but Bledsoe was a statue in the pocket. Romo has brought his mobility and strong arm to the already talented Cowboys. They are coming off of a great win over the previously undefeated Colts. Which raises the question, why was Romo on the bench for so long? Nevertheless, this move has Cowboy fans thankful for the move.

2. The 1972 Dolphins are thankful for yet another season of no undefeated teams. First, the Miami Dolphins took down the heavily favored and than undefeated Chicago Bears. Than this past weekend the Colts lost in Dallas preserving yet another season of no unbeatens. It's time to bring out the Champane, the 72 Dolphins are celebrating.

3. The San Diego Chargers should be very thankful for LaDainian Tomlinson. The man is a freak of nature. He has break away speed, power to run between the tackles, and is an excellent receiver out of the back field. Oh and he can throw a tight spiral, he has 5 passing TDs in his career. The man is a TD machine and is the reason that the Chargers are 8-2 and have sole possession of the AFC West. Any NFL fan out there should sit back and enjoy watching LT, your witnessing history.

4. All NFL fans can appreciate the new Flex schedule by NBC. No more Sunday nights with blowout games. The flex schedule has enabled NBC to handpick the best game of the week and put it on prime time. We saw this last week when San Diego @ Denver made for a very entertaining game. So fans everywhere be thankful for the flex schedule is here to stay.

5. I am thankful the NFL doesn't allow head coaches to wear suits and ties during games. It looks professional yes but it doesn't look right when a man is wearing a suit with a head set on and as he is barking out orders or yelling at refs. How do you run down the sidelines in a suit? I know Tim Landry wore a suit but this is a different time.

five burning questions

1. Will the Colts go undefeated?

this will be one of the hottest topics until the Colts lose a game because it is every year. who will match the undefeated 72 Dolphins? I say not this year, the Colts simply don't have the defense to do it. I expect them to lose at Jacksonville later on if not before that game. if they manage to go undefeated regular season than they will suffer a let down in the playoffs because remember defense wins championships

2. Who is the best AFC team?

forget about the standings, I don't think it's the Colts. the Ravens are the best team in the AFC. they have the defense to play with anyone and their offense is finally playing good to make for a well rounded team. plus they have Ed Reed so whenever they force a turnover, you can expect him to take it all the way back even if it's from end zone to end zone

3. Who is the best NFC team?

again forget about the standings, the Bears are overrated and benefit from a weak schedule. it's the NY Giants. they have a strong running attack with thunder and lightning (Barber and Jacobs). they have one of the top rising QBs in the league with all the weapons he needs on offense. plus they have a good defense to complement the offense.

4. Will the T.O. led Cowboys make the playoffs?

yes they will make the playoffs. this team is too talented not to, but they will be a wild card team. They are too far behind the Giants and have a bad divisonal record. but with Tony Romo at the helm, this team has great potential on offense. plus Romo keeps T.O. happy and thats key

5. What happened to the Bengals?

this team was supposed to win the AFC North, they were supposed to have one of the best offenses in the NFL. but because they can't stop the run on defense and can't protect Palmer on offense they have fallen to being an average team. I think the Bengals still have the potential to get hot and could still win the divison but their WRs aren't getting open and Palmer doesn't have enough time to wait for them to

Dolphins beat Bears

The Bears made a critical mistake of repeating the past. They should have known not to underestimate the Dolphins. Afterall this is the same team which handled the 1985 undefeated Bears their first and only lost of the season. So when they took the field against the Dolphins on Sunday they should have been prepared for the worst. But the Bears must have bought into their own hype and overlooked the one win Dolphins. The Dolphins made the Bears look bad, they forced six turnovers in which they scored 28 of their points off of. Ronnie Brown made the Chicago rush defense look like the cheese and he sliced through the cheese on this day. This win has to bring up the question, is Chicago really a good team? or just a product of a weak divison? Which ever it is Chicago didn't learn from their own past which is the worst mistake anyone can make. Every NFL team should be fully prepared every week because as the saying goes. On any given Sunday any team can win.
