Schein's Nine: Cowboys could be last year's Giants


Schein's Nine: Cowboys could be last year's Giants
1. Dallas = New York


The Dallas Cowboys could be the Giants from a year ago.

That's right.

The Cowboys, assuming they are done fighting amongst each other, can still go to the Super Bowl because of their defense and star power on offense.

Five goats

But I asked his coach, Tony Dungy, who the league MVP was and Dungy responded, "James Harrison."

6. Titans falling, Steelers rising

Pittsburgh is the best team in the NFL right now. Walt Coleman aside (we will get to that in a moment), let's not minimize the effort of Ben Roethlisberger and company in Pittsburgh's thrilling comeback against the Ravens defense. Mike Tomlin, his staff, his defense, deserve immense credit for winning the AFC North.

And they now have a realistic chance at the top seed in the AFC.

When the Steelers visit Tennessee this weekend, the Titans won't have injured stars Albert Haynesworth and Kyle VandenBosch.

There was no shame in Tennessee losing to Houston. But it was highly questionable for Jeff Fisher to eschew a 50-yard Rob Bironas field-goal attempt at the end.

7. Controversy

Walt Coleman overturning the eventual Santonio Holmes touchdown was an absolute joke. There was no way there was indisputable visual evidence. The call on the field, which was that Holmes was just short of a score, should have stayed.

8. Dick Jauron/J.P. Losman/Eric Mangini/Tony Sparano

The decision to have Bills quarterback J.P. Losman throw the ball with a 27-24 lead and two minutes to go was the single worst, most illogical coaching decision I've ever seen, especially with the way Marshawn Lynch was carving up the overmatched Jets run defense.

It also might have saved Eric Mangini's job with the Jets. New York, whether it was the quarterback play or the run defense or the pass defense/rush, looked out of it against a Bills team that came in fading.

I still think the supremely coached Dolphins win the division by beating the Chiefs in Kansas City and the Jets in the Week 17 showdown.

For the record, I still would keep Jauron in lovely Western New York. But I might change offensive coordinators.

9. Herm Edwards

I give the Hunt family all the credit in the world for not buying into Carl Peterson's 'rebuilding.'

Now it becomes a formality that the overmatched Edwards will lose his gig, too.

It's amazing how ill-prepared and inept the Chiefs are.
