No matter what Coughlin preaches, there has to be that slight smirk on the players faces that promises to win it all in the end in spite of marginal play early on.

2) The Eagles: With the personal off-the-field problems that Reid has dealt with and added to that an old, slow, confused quarterback who talks a lot and says nothing that anybody comprehends I would not be surprised if Lurie sacks Andy before he can quit. Then the whole place gets a new broom and new faces. A long road that.

3) Cowboys: Jerry keeps dusting the cabinet for a clean place to put his next Lombardi. He has invested lots of cash into a stadium to put the cabinet in and staked his personal player selection reputation on what Dez does and it is not a pretty scenario. Jones is building a monument to himself without spending enough time to assure fans of a wining team before the "Romo Window closes". Was it ever open except in Jerry's mind?

4) Redskins: Supremely competent General Manager, messianic dedicated and driven coaching staff, decision making oriented towards team improvement, excellent risk/reward management and wildly supportive fans. Plan is in place now execute consistently and victory will be ours.

Ponder this.

Heretic. Colt Brennan is the only messiah.
