Reports from the Cowboys today said that punter Mat McBriar will punt VERY high and even punt out-of-bounds to keep the ball away from Devin Hester. Wow! 2 things surprise me about this:
1. Why are the Cowboys broadcasting this?
2. WHY HAVEN'T OTHER TEAMS DONE THIS ALREADY?!?
As much as I hate this! There is not a chance that I would want my team kicking to this super-human. Against Kansas City, Hester had a combined 201 yards on kick/punt returns comparable to Rex Grossman's 160 yards passing. In fact, Grossman hasn't passed for over 200 yards since the Divisional playoff game against Seattle and only has 1 more touchdown than Hester during that span. So you tell me who is the bigger offensive threat! This is just another sign that the offense needs to step up, especially this week with huge playoff implications in the balance. If the offense puts out another bad performance, maybe we should consider the direct snap to Hester idea?!?

Your right about Hester being the bigger offensive threat than Rex or anyone for that matter, but I wouldn't say that this Game has playoff implications. This is only Week 3.
There are atleast 8 teams out there with a perfect record, including the Dallas Cowboys. There are a lot of things that need to be ironed out before we blurt out PLAYOFFS, but we could call it a possible Conference Championship preview, but hardly playoff impilcations. If this was week 9 or 10, of course this would be playoff implications riding the balance.
all in all nice article.

only playoff implications because of a tie-breaker situation that could arise if the Bears and Cowboys ended up with the same record. Does anyone really believe that San Fran, Washington, Detroit, or Green Bay are going to win 12-13 games? Of course this all depends on the Bears developing a consistent offense to get that record...lets hope that happens!
