NFL Power rankings

Dallas Cowboys (7-4)
Ah, to be sitting on the couch, digesting Thanksgiving leftovers, watching the rest of the league knock itself out, resting up for mop up duty the following week. That's what a Thanksgiving Day victory means; that was Pete Rozelle's eternal gift to Cowboy GM Tex Schramm, his former employer.

New York Giants (6-5)
Their massive self-destruction against the Titans has been well documented, and need not be repeated here. I will say one thing, though. The biggest screw up of all, Mathias Kiwanuka's decision to let Vince Young go when he had him in a sackhold, is a product of the erratic and nonsensical interpretation the officials have placed on the roughing the passer rule. Brushes across the jersey get flagged, so do clean tackles, and God knows what else. The kid didn't know whether Young had delivered the ball or not. He had no idea what wrath from the referee lay ahead. Sure, he should have had more awareness, but that's what these rule makers have turned football into, a gigantic guessing game about what kind of mood the ref might be in. Oh yes ... one final note. I've been a little negative where TE Jeremy Shockey is concerned. On Sunday he played with a dislocated finger that had the bone sticking out, and was popped back in. An apology is called for. This is one tough dude.

Jacksonville Jaguars (6-5)
They play among friends at home and they're tigers; they crush the life out of people. But put them, say, in a place like Buffalo, and by the time they're through rubbing their eyes and checking out the tall buildings the game is over and they've got the L next to their name. Lack of consistency ... should one say mediocrity? That's the trademark of my roster's middle ground.

Miami Dolphins (5-6)
Here they come, my AFC Super Bowl team. You think beating the Lions at home on Thanksgiving Day is easy? You try it.
