The crystal ball had a mediocre performance this past week, going a mere 2-2. This is playoff time, so that is unacceptable! The crystal ball took its lumps on the Colts game, but it’s okay with it since Norv’s our buddy! Anyway, that puts the crystal ball at 2-2 for the post-season, and 35-28-1 overall. That’s seven games over .500 (.555 to be exact). Hopefully the crystal ball will perform better this coming week, as the pressure mounts in post-season play! Let’s take a look back, and review what happened last week.

Unfairly, expectations for next year will be high even if Bill Parcells opts out of his contract as team VP of football operations. Parcells influence is undeniable with the placing of some o

Each week, I will look into my (never wrong, just misinformed) crystal ball and give my predictions for that weekend’s games. I will prognosticate on all the playoff games each week. Keep in mind, that this is for entertainment purposes only, and that I do not endorse any sort of legal or illegal gambling. That being said…let’s see what’s in my crystal ball!

The crystal ball had a mediocre performance this past week, going a mere 2-2. We’re not sure what happened, but this is not acceptable. The crystal ball took its lumps on the Cowboys game, but it may have been predicting with its heart rather than its fortune-telling powers? Either way, that puts the crystal ball at 33-26-1 for the season. That’s seven games over .500 (.558 to be exact). Hopefully the crystal ball will perform better in the playoffs! Let’s take a look back, and review what happened last week.

This past Sunday, the Dallas Cowboys traveled to Lincoln Financial Field to play the Philadelphia Eagles in what was a win and you’re in the playoffs game. This game had a lot of build-up prior kick-off. The Eagles found out, about 15 minutes before the game started, that the stars had aligned for them; the Bears and Buccaneers had both lost. This game had everything football fans wanted. It was the ‘Boys against the Birds, with their playoff destinies on the line.

Each week, on Friday, I will look into my (never wrong, just misinformed) crystal ball and give my predictions for that weekend’s games. I will always prognosticate on the Eagles and Cowboys games and then pick two or more games of interest (to me, that is, not necessarily to you). Keep in mind, that this is for entertainment purposes only, and that I do not endorse any sort of legal or illegal gambling. That being said…let’s see what’s in my crystal ball!

Last night, on NBC’s prime time Sunday Night Football, the Dallas Cowboys defeated the New York Giants, 20-8. The Cowboys desperately needed the win, as they are fighting for their playoff lives. The Cowboys are now 9-5, but so are the Vikings, the Bucs, and the Falcons. The Eagles and Bears aren’t that far behind either. With the Cowboys facing the Ravens and the Eagles in their next two games, the ‘Boys needed a win…desperately.

what they must do!
Bill Parcells would often tell us to wait until after Thanksgiving to evaluate the team. I recall him saying, “You are what you are” many times. Well, it’s a week past Turkey Day, and the ‘Boys will face a formidable Pittsburgh Steelers team on the road. Come Sunday, we will all know…what they are!

Hiring Bill Parcells as V.P. of Football operations.
Parcells quickly fired general manager Randy "Bonehead" Mueller and hired Jeff Ireland to fill his spot. Parcells and Ireland then made the decision to hire Tony Sparano as head coach and the rest is history.

Last night, on Sunday Night Football, the Cowboys and Redskins met in a heated NFC East rivalry. The ‘Boys came to Washington, sporting a 5-4 record, while the ‘Skins were 6-3. The Cowboys welcomed back their offensive leader, Tony Romo, as well as Pro-Bowl corner, Terence Newman. Dallas had already lost to the Redskins earlier this season, and this was a must-win game for the Cowboys.

The Cowboys have a big game coming up this weekend against the Redskins. But aren’t they all big games? Yes, but this is a defining game for the 2008 Cowboys. If the ‘Boys lose…the season is all but over. If they win…they are back in the hunt for the wild-card race. The Cowboys were the pre-season favorites to win the Super Bowl…but that’s why they play the games!

Last night, on Sunday Night Football, the Philadelphia Eagles wasted a golden opportunity. The Birds lost to the New York Giants 36-31, at home. Lincoln Financial Field (The Linc) was as loud as ever. The Philly faithful were out in full force, only to be let down, once again, by the Eagles. Many fans are fed up and frustrated with the team.

It’s fun to watch and you know what…it’s actually working! Who said Bill Parcells was a “fuddy duddy”?

As would Dennis Green, Jim Mora. If I recall, and oh yes, I believe I do-Bill Parcells was criticized for not winning a playoff game after taking over a 5-11 team.
In the NFL there are three ways to be better than that. One – have a Coach that is considered top 10 in the league like Bill Belichick, Dick Vermeil,

The firing of nearly the entire front office by Vice President of Operations Bill Parcells at the close of last season shook up the team, and left many long-time players to find a new squad. But was that the right choice? Well, I’d like to think that if Big Tuna does something, it’s probably for the best. The out-with-the-old-in-with-the-new-shit-or-get-off-the-pot approach to the 2008 season Parcells took showed that he’s getting the Dolphins back on track. It’s yet to be seen what will be the outcome of the two draft picks the Fins got for Jason Taylor, or if cutting defensive anchor Zach Thomas was the right move. After such a shake-up, including other major player and staff moves, is it possible for the Fins to go 8-8 this year? Aside from winning the seven of their 13 remaining games, there’s gonna have to be some changes. This week I look at positional strategies that could use some tweaking. We’ll start today at running back.

Tony Romo is out for the season. The hopes and dreams of the Dallas Cowboys rest in the arm and mind of Brad Johnson. Sorry Cowboy fans, this is not the Buccaneers revisited.
This is a ‘Nightmare before Christmas’ that even Tim Burton would not want to be a part of. For team Dallas, this would be a scenario of catastrophic proportions, and for their fans it would be another year of frustration.
