Reggie Bush a bust? Don't think so Michael Rosenberg

Michael Rosenberg wrote an article for SI, Bust? Saints haven't figured out what to do with Reggie Bush, which I pretty much disagree with.

Bush was drafted to help the Saints by making big plays, scoring touchdowns and help the team win games. He wasn't drafted as the savior Christ like the article insists.

In Bush's career he has played in 52 games racking in 4,502 total yards and 32 touchdowns (not counting playoffs). That averages out to about 1251 total yards and 9 scores a year. Those are some pretty good numbers. He was drafted as an exceptional utility player and that is what he is. A running back, receiver and punt returner.

His play making ability also helps the team since defenses have to keep an eye on him. They can't load up on the receivers and stick a linebacker on him or they will get toasted. This opens up their passing game big time.

So a bust he is not. A good NFL player who helps his team win he is.

Dallas to win the Super Bowl next year?

I just finished reading this article by Alan Pattani about how similar the 09 Cowboys are to the 91 Cowboys, which was the turning point to their Super Bowl domination in the 90's. All I can say is WOW. If you want to take a look at the story check it out HERE.

The current Cowboys certainly have a great team, if they can fix some mental blunders they can be an excellent team. I think this certainly can be Déjà vu for Cowboy Nation. I hope so, that way I can rag on all the Cowboys haters :-P

Wouldn't it be funny if the Jets beat the Colts?

Don't get me wrong, I am a Peyton Manning fan. I think he is the best quarterback in the NFL and probably of all time. I would love for the Colts to win the Super Bowl.

Would it not be a total kick in the ass if the Jets happen to win? I mean, the reason they are even in the playoffs is because Jim Caldwell wanted to rest his starters in their week 16 match-up since they already had home field wrapped up in the playoffs. They bypassed the golden chance at an undefeated season for health players.

Now, the Jets could have won that game even if the starters stayed in, but it isn't likely. This upcoming game would not even exist had the Colts played the game hard and came out with a victory.

Now they both play for the AFC Championship, and that stickler defense of the Jets could possibly beat the Colts. Passing up the opportunity for NFL immortality and choosing rested players for the playoffs gave the Jets a playoff birth (well they still had to win their last game but you know what I mean).

If the Colts lose, Jim Caldwell will get blamed for not playing his starters in week 16 and killing the Jets playoff hopes at that time. With a win, the Jets will have bitten the hand that fed it.

But if the Colts win and go on to win the Super Bowl, fans may still be angry since it proves they would of beaten them in week 16, giving them a chance to have only the 2nd undefeated season in NFL history, the 1st to do it with the 16 game regular season schedule.

This game is gonna be good :-)

What does everyone have against the Cowboys?

I don't know what it is, maybe it is Jerry Jones? Maybe it is the deep pockets the team and its owner has? Who knows, but I get tired of hearing about how horrible they are, they are fake, Romo sucks, blah blah blah blah blah. The media bashing is ridiculous as well.

The Cowboys are 8-5. They have lost to the Giants twice, Broncos, Packers, and the Chargers. Not one of those teams is under .500. They have not been blown out this year and were in every game until the end. The average score they lose by is a measly 5.8 points. In my opinion every loss minus Green Bay was just down to 1 play, made FG or call. That is how close they are to being 12-1.

Now I don't think they are the best team, they could be a great team, but they aren't. I do think they are better then what the bashers think they are.

Take the Cardinals for instance. They have been highly praised and their recent loss to the 49ers is just being blown over. No big deal to the analysts, columnists and sports writers. The Cardinals are still a powerhouse in their eyes.

The Cardinals are 8-5 just like the Cowboys. They have lost to 49ers twice, Colts, Panthers and Titans. The only team over .500 that has beaten them is the Colts. They have lost 4 times to sub .500 teams. The average score they lose by is 11.2 points.

Yet the Cardinals still are not criticized like the Cowboys are. The Cardinals are ranked higher in every power ranking list these writers come up with.

Dallas is ranked 3rd in the NFL in total offensive yards. Cardinals are 14th. Dallas is 14th on defense yards allowed, Arizona 25th.

Arizona was just blown out by the 49ers (6-7); Dallas barely lost to the Chargers (10-3) and really should have won that game by 10. The Chargers are labeled as one of the hottest teams in the NFL yet they barely scraped by the "horrible" Cowboys.

Even the Defending Champion Steelers get less criticism then the 'Boys, and they have a losing record and are guaranteed not to make the Super Bowl.

I feel the biggest problem with the Cowboys is the coaching. Wade Phillips should not be the Head Coach, he is a great Defensive Coordinator, but he doesn't have what it takes to be a Head Coach. All the errors and penalties are fixed with coaching, and the Cowboys have a lot of those. He provides no motivation to the players. Look at Bill Cowher; he would chew someone's butt if they screwed up. All Wade does is roll his eyes or make a face.

I use to think Jason Garrett was a great Offensive Coordinator, but I don't think that anymore. He made bad play calls in situations where the right call could have helped win the game against the Broncos and Chargers. I have noticed throughout the season the play calling has been horrible.

I do not think Romo is a problem. He is a good quarterback, look at his stats this year and over his career. He is good and could be great with a good coach. Once he has enough passes to be able to get in the record books he will own some and be in the top 3 or 5 in a lot of categories. Not bad for this being only his 4th year. He is the main reason they have been in every game this year till the end.

I am hoping Wade gets canned after this year and they bring in a good head coach. Then they will have a chance to win the Superbowl. Who knows, if they get better play calling and clean up the mental errors they could contend this year.
