Random Thoughts About the NFL

Is LaDanian Tomlinson the 2007 Jerome Bettis inspiring the Chargers to make a Superbowl drive? Will Schottenheimer go conservative in the playoffs again? Will LT's explosiveness negate that? Will the Falcons' corners be instructed to watch Antonio Romo like a hawk so they can make reads for interceptions? Will Mora even attempt to out coach Parcells like Payton did? Will Romo wear a helmet with a tinted visor? (he should)

Is Marvin Harrison getting a taste of the difficulty he'll have getting into the Hall of Fame? He catches 1000 passes (only the 4th in the NFL to do so) and all everyone is talking about is some short stumpy dudes making a bunch of punt returns (James Drew on Sunday and Hester on Monday)?

Are the Eagles playing harder for Jeff Garcia than Donovan McNabb? They suffered key injuries and had mostly eeked out wins. Now they're alive? If the Eagles make the playoffs, is Donovan officially trying out for his job next year?

What are the odds on Tiki Barber actually retiring? 5-3? How about accusing Couglin of being "outcoached"? 5-5?

Should I turn my back on Herm Edwards? Why is Mangini making progress with the Jets while Herm's team underacheives?

Shouldn't Denny Green keep his job? They're making progress, right?

What's my fear level concerning the Saints for next season on a scale of 1 -10? About a 32.
