Since it is Halloween I thought that I would write about something related to that. I am going to do the scary situations for certain teams right now in the NFL. There are about 3 teams that are having a very scary year and I will go over each of them, so here we go.
Chargers
This is probably one of the most talked about blowups of the year. We knew the Bengals might not work out and the other team was unexpected, too. They have a great quarterback who is an awesome leader, but their offense needs those key receivers like Vincent Jackson who held out and now can't play until week 12. Gates can't carry the team and be the only receiver available and he is a tight end. Their defense has been lacking. I haven't heard anything of Shawn Merriman this year. This year just started bad with that loss to the Chiefs and just continued to go downhill they have comeback a little because they are now 3-5. Still a very scary situation in San Diego.
Bengals
This is the team that we kind of expected to win and kind of expected to lose. With T.O and Ochocinco on that team, we didn't think they would have much chemisty, which they actually do. The whole team except for Palmer and Shipley is a bunch of convicts that nobody else wanted. Did we really think they were going to have a successful season? I guess some people did, because they are surprised at how bad the Bengals are playing they are 2-5 and everybody thought they would be 5-2 or a little worse. This is quite the scary situation for anybody in Cincinnati that likes the Bengals.
Cowboys
This is the team a lot of people thought would do really good things this year. They thought they had a great offense and a defense that could keep them in games. Now we see them at 1-5 and just beating themselves every single game. They can't win because they commit too many penalties. I think they would be a great team if they had better coaching. Their one weakpoint? Wade Phillips I just hate him as a coach and think he sucks. They should fire him. I don't know why they haven't already. This is a team that could do great things. I think the one thing people forgot about when they ranked this team at the beginning of the year. They forgot that their coach is terrible and that penalties can lose games for teams. All these penalties put the Cowboys in a scary situation.

NFC East Predictions
Cowboys
This team is one of those teams that a lot of people are thinking could be very good. They have a good quarterback who finally won a postseason game last year in Tony Romo. Miles Austin broke out last year and could have either a year just as good or better. I don't think he will get any worse. There is a lot of pressure, but I think he can handle it. If he just plays football the best he can, he will do really well. I think Roy Williams will have a good year this year and I think Dez Bryant comes in and becomes a really good receiver also. So with a good QB and receivers that's a good offense, then you add Marion Barber and Felix Jones. Two running backs who are very good at what they do. They are used in different situations, but that's what makes this work. They also have a very good defense. So when you put together all that positive energy and that much talent you have a good team. I think they go somewhere around 12-4 or maybe 11-5.
Giants
This team is on a low year. They have had pretty good teams in the few years past, but this year I just don't think they have it. Eli Manning has had a few good seasons, but last year he didn't do very well and doesn't look good in the preseason this year. He is there one leader, and he isn't doing that great. When they won their super bowl they had a legit good team. They didn't have a better team than the Patriots, but they had a good team. A lot of their good players have left or have not done as good lately. That means this team is down. I want to believe that Manning will get better and end up being great like Peyton, but I just don't think that really happens. At best I think the Giants get a record of maybe 8-8 if they are lucky. probably 7-9.
Eagles
The Eagles traded away the Quarterback they have trusted to lead their team for years. Now they have a new QB with Kevin Kolb. He has looked pretty good in the preseason, but I still think trading McNabb was very stupid. They have a really good receiving core and I'm not sure that Kolb can take advantage of that like McNabb did. They still have a good defense. So they still have a good team, they just don't have the same offense that they did last year. Because they are missing these certain parts of their team I think they are missing that they really need. The most important one is that they don't have any leaders on their team. I think because they are missing so much they won't have a very good season. I think they go 6-10 maybe 7-9.
Redskins
This wasn't a very good team last year. But this year they have added McNabb who is a good leader and also a good quarterback. Haynesworth has caused some problems in their locker room this year, but I think they are going to be improved this year. This team that they have built up by trading and grabbing will be better than last years, but I really don't have anything else to say about them. They will be better but the additions they have made only add 1 or 2 wins. So that means I think they go around 5-11 this year.

Dez Bryant doesn't carry pads. OH NO!
Recently a story has been a little blown out of proportion. But since I have nothing else important to write about I will comment on this. At first when I saw this I was on the side of Dez Bryant. Then, I went a little deeper and found out more than just what the headline said. First it just said that he wouldn't carry Roy Williams pads. I wouldn't carry the pads of some veteran at my position that I was competing with either. I would if I had no chance of getting that job, but if I was competing for the same job that it basically Roy Williams saying I'm going to win this competition because I am a veteran and you are a rookie, never forget that. Then I found out that Dez said he wouldn't carry any other veterans pads. Then I didn't agree with him anymore. I can understand if you are competing with someone you don't want to be treated by dirt by the other person. But in the NFL when you are a rookie the veterans are going to haze you because they were once hazed. Its a continuous cycle. Someday Dez Bryant might ask a rookie to carry his pads. When he does that we might have to bring this little incident up. I would carry the pads of a guy who is a veteran if he isn't playing the same position as me. There are a few exceptions though. Such as I get drafted to the Colts hypothetically and I'm behind Peyton Manning and he asks me to carry his pads. I would carry them because it would be an honor to carry them. If I were Dez I would say no to Roy and go grab a lineman's pads to show his appreciation but also to send Roy a message saying that he isn't going to back down just because he is a rookie and Roy is a veteran.
