The Dallas offense has been dreadful the past two weeks against teams that are below the Cowboys in the standings. The loss to the Chiefs is bad; but the Steelers did not look as bad the Cowboys did yesterday.
As far as the Bengals/Chargers thing; I don't see it as a reaction to a bad loss. The Chargers and Bengals have identical 7-3 records. Luckily, this is the NFL and lists like this are nothing more than message board and talk radio fodder.

The Cowboys are still trying to find themselves offensively and I suspect as the season moves along, they will find a nice balance. The running game was solid yesterday, but they could not finish off a drive. They had several great plays, but could not string several good plays together without penalties or turnovers.
The defense is playing outstanding and will continue to improve. As the great Parcels always said, you either get better, or worse as the season moves along. Right now they are flat and their offense is worse, but I think the components are all their for much improvement. The call down from Jerry demanding to see more running was a mistake. Troy Aikman elluded to it during the game several times, as "playing into the Redskin's hands."
Did you see their one single TD drive? The entire team was super angry, including Romo, who played on pure adrenaline. They drove down at will, all passes and scored easily. They got sick of messing around and just shoved the ball down the Redskin's throats and scored. I got the feeling they probably could have done that all game long, had they just let it hang out and played ball, instead of trying to be all technical and feeling the Redskins out. I think you well see the Cowboys offense get very aggressive early on in games from now on.
Here go my choices for Week 12, as weird as this season has turned out to be:
G.B. over Detroit - The Pack puts the hurt on!
Dallas over Oaktown - Ugly win is still a win.
Giants over Denver - Making last years Bills look less bad by the week!
Atlanta over T.B. - A must win for the birds.
Buffalo over Miami - OK... You got me... I am a Bills fan!
Cinci over Cleve - Returning from the Land of Embarrassment.
Tenn over Arizona - Titans pull it out.
Seattle over Rams - This one could come back to bite me...
Minn over Chicago - God, does Cutler look like sh*t or what?
Carolina over Jets - Both teams are struggling.
Phili over Wash - I sense a blowout.
Houston over Indy - They always play the Colts hard.
Sand Dog over K.C. - The Bolts are in gear.
San Fran over Jack - This is for Singletary's pride.
Balt over Pitts - They need this division win.
Pats over N.O. - Game of the week!
I'd take Jacksonville off the list and replace them with Tennessee. Jacksonville is OK but they've played some really weak opponents and barely won. Lots of 2 and 3 point victories this season.

Jacksonville is currently a wildcard team, with a two game lead over Tennessee.
I like the Packers chances this year. They are gonna sneak into a wild card spot and make some real noise in the post season. GB/MN in the playoffs would give Chris Berman a seizure.

Agree.
Best possible scenario for start of Minnesota's March of Revenge...
1. Minn
2. NO
3. AZ
4. Dal
5. Atl
6. GB
WC Week: GB > AZ Dls > Atl
DIV Playoffs: Minn > GB Dal > Atl
Conf Champ: Minn > Dal
Super Bowl Minn > Pts (or KC, or Miami, or Oakland, or the Yankees)
lol I like, except NO doesnt seem to get a playoff game. Atl/Dallas REMATCH after WC week???
I know what you mean though and that would be ideal for viking people. Especially playing the Yankees in the SB
Oh yeah. Dallas beats NO in Divisional round not Atlanta (again).
