White privilege is a hell of a drug.

You're basically white

[Wizzy]

i lol'd

[rainblade]

White people can't point out white privilege? They're the ones who need to. Bdog is dumb.

[Maverik]

have you not seen Serge post in the past... 4 years?

that was a quality post by bdog

[rainblade]

Is this an inside joke? 'Serge is white so he can't point out white privilege,' is how I read it. What did he mean?

[Da Gyps]

Serge isn't white, that post by Bdog was A+ and I love Serge.

[Maverik]

I'm not going to explain the tone of his posts over several years...

[Maverik]

and yes, Serge isn't white

So you're saying the tone of someone's post can indicate their race? I think that's probably racist.


and yes, Serge isn't white

This probably would have been easier to point out rather than going the passive-aggressive route of, "oh em gee, u dewnt get the jokeeee..."

[Maverik]

I don't know if there are enough facepalm memes to explain how hard you're failing right now

just leave it alone dude

You're out of your depth here champ

[Da Gyps]

Looks like the Saints have a bounty out on Alex Smith...

[Serge]

I'm white until I try to date your daughters.

[Maverik]

there you go, Cliche

Serge just spelled it out for you

[Hugh]

Well Geno Smith made it 2 quarters before getting hurt.
If you're looking for Fitzpatrick, he's the guy at the end of then bench giving zero fucks.

Somewhere deep in the Louisiana bayou, Les Miles has removed his pants while watching this game.

Rofl

[KBHoleN1]

Lolwut

[Gryph]

man, last time I laughed that hard was when they released the Jets schedule.

[Da Gyps]

Game of the year! Part of me was really hoping it would end 9-6, but two missed GIMME fgs? That's fantastic too.

[KBHoleN1]

I'm kind of upset. Cause I was the only person to pick Arizona and I thought I had the point. But wow, that was unbelievable.

[Hugh]

Don't even know what I just watched.

[bludhoundz]

So... I understand this whole "kick FGs on 3rd down in case there's a bad snap so you have an extra down." I really do. But they were so fucking close I'm not sure I wouldn't have given the ball to David Johnson again.

I'll say this though, Seattle got away with one. Bobby Wagner broke the leaping rule TWICE on those field goal attempts by touching another player when jumping over. The first time they even picked up the flag despite clear evidence that it was correctly thrown. I'm not really sure Arizona deserved to win though, good lord

[Hugh]

He broke it once, the first time. The second time the left guard reached up and grabbed him. The lineman initiated contact, like they explained.
But the first time was ridiculous. Especially considering the ref actually threw the flag and then picked it up. I'd be pissed if I was Arians too.

[Hugh]

I can't believe our defense though. That was one of the greatest performances I've seen, as far as digging deep and just being tough as hell. Seahawks defense was on the field for 90 plays. That hasn't happened here in 24 years. Our offense was gucking terrible all game so the defense never really got a break. They allowed 6 points in 5 quarters on the road against a good team. Can't ask for more.
But our offense is fucked. They need to fix it now. I don't know why it's so hard to throw to Jimmy Graham. I really don't. Whenever we start doing it, it works, but we go entire quarters, halfs, even games when we just don't do it. It's frustrating.

[KBHoleN1]

The O-line problems reminded me of watching Ohio State this weekend. Absolutely no time for Wilson to drop back and read anything.

[Hugh]

True, but that's why we're paying Jimmy Graham $10 million. Get the ball, plant and throw it in his direction. At this point it's the only answer to our line issues. I don't care if teams know it's coming. Don't care is he's covered by a linebacker or nickel corner half his size. I don't give a fuck if he's not open.
He's 6'7" and 270 lbs. Graham doesn't always separate or run away from guys. He's not always open. But if you throw him the ball he usually comes down with it. I know Wilson can do it. I've seen him do it. He did it 3 times in the OT drive. For some reason we just don't do it consistently. We keep trying to establish the run with a terrible line, no RB and a QB with a sprained knee and ankle.
I'm no offensive cooordinator, but it seems we make it way harder than we need to.

[Hulky]

The Buccaneers are posting on social media asking their fans to wear Buccaneers jerseys to next week's game because they don't want there too be too many Raiders fans lol. Back when I lived in Tampa there would always be everyone else's jerseys at games like cowboys, raiders, packers and patriots at a Buccs home game against someone random like the Titans or whatever.

[Da Gyps]

So Hulky, dat AFC West.

[bludhoundz]

Tampa needs better jerseys then.

[KBHoleN1]

Like the creamsicles?

[Hulky]

So Hulky, dat AFC West.

[Greendaybum5]

So who's got predictions on the Prescott v Wentz showdown on SNF?

[The Butcher]

Hopefully they put Romo in.

[bludhoundz]

The rare occasion I will be rooting for the Eagles.

Wentz has fallen down to earth after the first few weeks. Prescott has stayed looking great. I think Eagles D line vs Cowboys O Line is the marquee matchup in this game.

[Greendaybum5]

that's the problem with stats.

You definitely saw a few throws that got away from him last game (especially 1st INT), but there were so many 1st down passes dropped by receivers it's insane. I can't wait to see what happens as they build this team around him. Specifically a solid OL and a #1 WR.

[bludhoundz]

Yeah, numbers lie. People like to say they don't, but they often do.

I still saw Wentz make some plays that convinced me he has what it takes, even if his stats dipped. Dak is almost the opposite; he looks really good but you can tell he has a ridiculous amount of support.

[Burnout278]

Wentz really didn't play a good defense. Pittsburgh, maybe but they were a browns dumpster fire that game

[bdog1321]

Yeah, numbers lie. People like to say they don't, but they often do.

Yeah. Romo is way better. Butch wants him to play but the past few times he has, hasn't worked out well for Philly

[bdog1321]

wentz had at least as much support as dak before lane johnson went out, now it's arguable either way

[Hugh]

You need to start talking about Romo in past tense because he's done. It's like saying John Elway is better than Prescott.
No. John Elway WAS better than Prescott, but now he's old and washed up. Just like Romo.
Also Prescott will probably go deeper on the playoffs this year, his rookie year, than Romo has in his whole career.

[The Butcher]

Yeah. Romo is way better. Butch wants him to play but the past few times he has, hasn't worked out well for Philly

Please play Romo against the Eagles.

Please.

[bludhoundz]

wentz had at least as much support as dak before lane johnson went out, now it's arguable either way

No not really.

[bdog1321]

No not really.

I'll detail what I meant in that post after work

[bludhoundz]

In terms of winning games it's arguable. In terms of making him look good though, no way.

The leading rusher in the league is gonna make any QB look better. Having a really good defense gives your QB more chances to win, but doesn't actually make him look better.

[Hugh]

Everyone see Richard Sherman's press conference as Harry Potter?
That guy is awesome.

[Da Gyps]

Gonna need a link because I'm lazy.

[bludhoundz]

He actually used the word muggles. What a don.

[The Cheat]

I face palmed so hard I nearly broke my glasses.

[Serge]

What a fucking shit show.

First, icing the kicker is the absolute worst thing in professional sports. There is zero fucking reason it should be allowed. It makes one of the most drawn out and obnoxious parts of the game even more drawn out and obnoxious. Time outs should be required to be called as soon as possible. This wait until they snap it bullshit is bullshit and should never be allowed.

Second, that OPI call on Garçon was the worst call I've ever seen in my life and was 100% the refs deciding the outcome of the game.

[Hugh]

Agreed. Total bullshit call.

NFL refs and the catch rule........

[rainblade]

[Mantis]

Agreed. Total bullshit call.
*grabs beer and waits for mantis*

It was a bullshit call for sure, but there were some bad calls on both sides. Norman didn't play straight up all day. He got flagged a bunch, but there were at least 3 others he should have been flagged on as well. All I heard coming into the game was how good he was, yet he didn't play without holding, interfering, hands to the face on literally 80+% of the throws his way. We had so many chances to win it with the FG, the PAT (like seriously wtf how do you miss a PAT with a good hold), Dalton overthrowing Green twice in OT, Green dropping one in OT that would have put us in FG range.

Neither team wanted to win that game, so we didn't. Ties are dumb.

[Hulky]

Best game of the year hands down

513 yards passing for Derek Carr (10th -tied all time passing yards in a game)
most penalties by a team ever, but still win
down to the wire at regulation, and OT
clutch plays all over, both made and blown for massive high/low swings
our LT, who used to play for them, caught a TD

fucking insanity

this is the type of game the cowboys typically lose.

the Raiders are legit

the organization has done a real good job

they were close last year and will be even better this year

maybe a playoff win, but certainly a playoff berth

excited for this young team

[bdog1321]

Tell me again how Prescott is better for the team than romo

[bludhoundz]

he'll be healthy

[Hugh]

Romo had been blowing it in big situations for 12 years, bdog. The man is cursed.
Prescott is your savior. You should start a cult and worship him.

[The Professor]

Philadelphia does not fear Dak at all. If Romo was in, I think Elliot would have MUCH more room to run.

[Da Gyps]

Just so Bdog is clear, I think Romo is good. Better than Dak OBVIOUSLY. But can he stay healthy?

[bdog1321]

You must take the chance

Anything else is stupidity

[Hugh]

If Romo was in he'd already be out. They would have loaded him on the back of a golf cart in the first quarter.

[The Professor]

If Romo gets hurt, then you obviously go back to Dak. If he doesn't, then there's a good chance you're winning games even against stronger opponents.

[bludhoundz]

in case anyone was wondering why i've said dak has looked better than he is, maybe you're seeing it for yourself now

wentz is the real deal though. his receivers are fucking terrible every game i watch there are multiple drops on dime throws

[Da Gyps]

[The Professor]

Yeah the receivers blow. But Wentz plays in a safe system. Dude has made 27 completions and hasn't cracked 200 yards. He's good and talented, but I would love to see him air it out more.

[bludhoundz]

its true the system makes things easy i don't deny it. but in this game the idea should be to keep the ball away from the cowboys. they are not a team designed to play from behind (they don't get chunks in the air often) and their defense is not good. so philly's death by papercut is a good formula here.

[Da Gyps]

Sproles is still incredible. He hasn't slowed down a bit.

[The Professor]

He's shifty as fuck.

[bdog1321]

so many missed opportunities

[Da Gyps]

If he had more carries over the course of his career I think we'd be talking HOF. He is top 10 all purpose yards fwiw. 2nd best return guy on that list too (Brian Mitchell being the best).

[bdog1321]

I'm going to have a heart attack

[KBHoleN1]

Why do you call 3 straight passes? Same shit at the end of the first half that led to the goal line pick. Dak looks uncomfortable against the blitz, he keeps just lobbing the ball up over the middle and he's lucky every time it isn't picked. So again, why not run the ball once in the series? Wouldn't you like to run some clock even if you don't move the ball?

[Hugh]

Bdog's the one who can't see the light.
It's hard to see anything with his head up Romo's ass.

[Hulky]

I don't get why they don't trade Romo. Like say oh look he's healthy, we got Dak so now Romo's activated and ready to play, then trade him. Jerry Jones has drafted really well recently and this class looks pretty stacked. I'd think someone like the Rams would consider him for a upper mid rounder at least pick with Goff not being a starter yet and Romo as a stop gap while still in the playoff race with a legit RB and defense.

[bludhoundz]

the rams would be incredibly stupid to trade for him

no team with a crap offensive line should trade for romo, lol

[Greendaybum5]

sweet jesus it's like having andy reid back.... how does a coach lose a game like that.

Notes from game:

1) Prescott = most overrated QB in NFL
2) Can the Eagles please get a WR during Wentz's career?
3) A few CBs would be nice.
4) Terrence Williams offensive PI may have been one of the smartest plays I've ever seen a NFL player make. Mad respect for him there.
5) I had the Eagles at 6-10 coming into this season, but man is it frustrating losing a game like that. Eagles should have won that game with ease.
6) Doug Pederson please wake up

[KBHoleN1]

I don't understand how they should have won with ease? Dallas dominated in total yards, it's not like Philly was just marching up and down the field and then turning the ball over. Dak throwing that goal line pick was a huge swing, because Dallas could have been looking at a 17-10 halftime lead instead of a 10-13 deficit. I thought Dak left a lot of plays on the table, not finding open receivers in the middle, overthrowing and underthrowing open receivers (the fade route to a wide open Dez in the endzone that hit the trailing defender comes to mind). What makes you say the Eagles should have won easily?

[The Butcher]

Eagles always find a way to lose to bums.

Wish Romo had been starting. Not sure what greenday saw but I saw Dak win the fucking game, duh.

[KBHoleN1]

I think a healthy Romo wins that game in regulation. Dak looked lost against the blitz - I'm not saying he won't get better with experience, but Romo would have been better prepared to handle that pressure. Dak targeted Dez 14 times, Dez only had 4 catches, and I can't recall a pass I thought Dez should have caught and didn't. He missed him so many times, especially those red zone throws. And if not for T-Will committing that penalty, Dak would have thrown 2 redzone picks.

[The Butcher]

but Romo would have been better prepared to handle that pressure..

Your basing that on all the success Tony Romo has had winning games under pressure or... what?

[KBHoleN1]

Your basing that on all the success Tony Romo has had winning games under pressure or... what?

Not going to start this again. 4th quarter comebacks, game winning drives, always having to come from behind to make up for a defense that can't get stops. Dallas finally has some semblance of a defense this year, in past years after Dallas tied the game the Eagles would have marched down the field and kicked a game winning field goal. That's what Romo has had to deal with for years. His best years as a passer have been squandered by poor defense.

[Hugh]

I have no idea why you think the Eagles should have won with ease. Lol. What?
The Eagles didn't win the time of possession or turnover battle. They didn't rush or pass for more yards. They did a really good job against Prescott for most of the game, but who cares? The game's not over at the end of 3 quarters and sometimes not at the end of 4. He made the plays at the end.
Philly is not a better team than Dallas. They had a good game plan coming in and executed it well for most of the game and still lost.
And I'll say it one more time. Prescott is a ROOKIE 4TH ROUND PICK who suddenly became the Dallas Cowboys starter, a team that went 4-12 last year. If anyone could step in and play in that offense they wouldn't have gone 4-12 last year.
Dallas is 6-1. Best record in the conference. I'm not even going to mention struggles because every fucking quarterback struggles and he's a rookie. Even mentioning it is stupid. He's played well all year and is a solid ROY candidate and Dallas is in 1st place. Calling Dak Prescott overrated is stupid.

[bdog1321]

Your basing that on all the success Tony Romo has had winning games under pressure or... what?

What else would he be basing it on? Romo is one of the best ever under pressure. As an eagles fan you should know that better than most.

[Hugh]

Romo is one of the all-time classic chokers. He's legendary for it, and that's when he was young and healthy which he'll never be again.
As a Cowboys fan you should know better than most.

Let me specify. Once the Eagles went up by 10 they should've won with ease. That fake punt was a brilliant call and changed the entire game from there. Pederson is just getting outcoached. I also don't know how many times our CBs are going to let WRs make them look like they shouldn't be NFL CBs. That Dez Bryant play in the endzone should've been an easy TD and if the CB was looking was picked. There was another play down the left side of the field where if Mills turned around it would've been a pick. I forget which WR that was thrown to.

Prescott had an awful game in my opinion. I don't think he'll end up being a top 5-7 QB in the league unless he works on his touch a little better. He made some nice throws to Bryant and one to Beasley, but he overthrew Williams for a long TD, underthrew Bryant for an easy TD (there may have even been a 2nd time, but I forget now) and he needs to learn when to throw the ball away instead of forcing it. I just think he's the product of an amazing system and is overhyped. Dallas is definitely the best team in NFC East and I think I give them all the respect they're owed, but just not a fan of all the hype the QB is getting there. He doesn't impress me.

[bdog1321]

He was far more impressive against a top-tier defense than Wentz was against...the cowboys

[Greendaybum5]

He was far more impressive against a top-tier defense than Wentz was against...the cowboys

I'll say this once more.

Wentz in the Cowboys offense would be putting up not just ROY #'s, but MVP numbers. Look at the OL in Dallas. Not to mention one of the top WR's (plus Beasley who's been top 10 with Dez out) in the NFL and arguably the best RB in NFL this year, but 100% a top 3 RB.

[bdog1321]

And I mean it's not even arguable. Dak could go 100/100 for 300 yards like Wentz did on 3 and 4 yard passes and screens. But that doesn't show much. It's literally meaningless. Anyone who thinks Wentz played well or had a better showing than Prescott wasn't watching the same game. And if Prescott can beat you playing his worst game so far as a pro, you don't have a prayer when he's at his best.

[bdog1321]

I'll say this once more.

Wentz in the Cowboys offense would be putting up not just ROY #'s, but MVP numbers. Look at the OL in Dallas. Not to mention one of the top WR's (plus Beasley who's been top 10 with Dez out) in the NFL and arguably the best RB in NFL this year, but 100% a top 3 RB.

Idk. I think with better receivers Wentz would look a lot better. But that line held up really well most of the game. He had all day to throw most of the time and sproles was KILLING the Dallas defense on the ground.

[KBHoleN1]

Sproles was the key. He was darting through holes that weren't really there and hitting the second level at full speed. Cowboys were missing a lot of tackles on him, but it's because he was beating them to the spot and they were reaching to try to arm tackle him. I thought for sure we were going to lose when he started breaking off those big chunk runs in the second half. I can't believe he only got 15 carries as well as he was running the ball.

[bludhoundz]

I mean Hugh that logic is pretty flawed. They had a lot of other problems last year and they didn't have Ezekiel Elliott. The kid is like a bulldozer in the body of a racecar. Dak has been good. Real good. But it's not dumb to call him overrated when everyone is riding his cock so hard. He has a lot of good pieces around him. The QBs the Boys had last year were abysmal
Truly bottom of the barrel. Dak is clearly good, and ill keep saying that. But hes missed throws and left plays on the field, while he's getting more credit for the 6-1 start than Zeke practically which is nuts. I think because it's just such a stark contrast to last year.

Also KB I wouldn't be so sure Romo would've beaten those blitzes either. I'm sure you remember quite a few Redskins games where they did nothing but bring the house against Tony at the end of the game and he couldn't get it done. I'm not saying he can't or wouldnt do it, but I'm not convinced he would have fared better than Dak

All that said, Eagles were in a position to win the game. The Cowboys battled back and showed mental toughness and won. Philly has a lot of flaws on offense but Wentz isn't the problem. Their receivers are trash and Sproles is the only RB they trust not to fumble.

Dallas is the team to beat in the east, and in the NFC for that matter. But we saw a few chinks in the armor today, and I'm happy to see that. Happy to see the Eagles lose too because well fuck them. If the GMen can get our offense going then a wild card berth is well within reach

[Maverik]

Pederson is just getting outcoached.

[I'malive]

The Patriots' front office hates anyone who asks for money so much, and supposedly Collins was acting on his own despite play calls throughout the year, but this trade might be even harder to swallow than dumping chandler jones...

[Hugh]

Yeah, the Pats are really hurting since they got rid of Chandler Jones...

[Hulky]

Talking about 4th quarter comebacks and clutch and all that jazz, Derek Carr has 3 4th quarter comebacks this year with a combined stat line of 1031 yards passing 9TDs 0INT. We were one of the worst teams his first two years (but at least had talent last year) and he has 8 total 4th quarter comebacks. In those 8 comeback wins he has 19 TDs and 2 INT.

Tony Romo is one of the best 4th quarter comeback QBs all time, but had 7 in his first 3 years starting (Carr already has 8 in 2.5 years). Romo had 9TD and 12 INT in those 7 game wins (v. Carrs 19TD 2 INT).

Tom Brady, the GOAT, though had 15 fucking game winning drives in his first 3 years starting with 25 TDs and 11 INT.

[Hugh]

Everyone is right about the Cowboys o-line, though. They were highlighting Tyron Smith last night. Jesus. 6'5" 320 lbs and probably has a 6 pack. He looks like he was built in a factory.

[Maverik]

I wouldn't be surprised if he ran a sub-5 40

[Hugh]

I'm sure he does. Meanwhile the starting left tackle for Seattle yesterday made his first start as an offensive lineman since junior high. That's no bullshit. They flashed the stat during the game. Starting left tackle for Seahawks, protecting Russell Wilson's blind side, and he didn't even play line in high school. Fucking absurd.
I'm also sick of bitching about Jimmy Graham, but here goes. Once again we were unable to get him involved. 3 catches for 30 yards against a shitty defense in a game where we couldn't establish any offense. Mind boggling.
And with 1 second to go on the 10 yard line, down by 5 and needing a TD to win, Wilson throws a back corner endzone pass to who?
To who?
Jermaine Kearse, of course!
Not the 6'7" tight end who can windmill dunk a basketball. Not the guy who we're paying more than our entire offensive line combined. Not the guy who we got SPECIFICALLY for that situation. Fuck no. Way too obvious.

To be fair 5 of those 12 came in one game, the bills game in 2007

[Maverik]

Romo had 5 INTs in one quarter? what a dumpster fire

[bdog1321]

I'm fairly sure from hulky's word choice he's including stats from the entire game the 4th quarter comeback happened in

[Maverik]

no, those are stats from the 4th quarter

[Maverik]

oh wait, he phrased it weird

maybe you're right

[Maverik]

yup, you're right

[Hugh]

Okay, Sano. Bradford is turning back into a pumpkin. I can admit when I'm wrong.:)
I mean these are the Bears and they're beating the shit out of the Vikings. Could be the beginning of the end.

[Hugh]

Holy shit. They just said Zach Miller had 102 receptions without a drop, the longest streak in the NFL...and he dropped the very next fucking pass. Lol.

[insert Kobe shooting a J gif]

Fuck bradford man. And fuck the Lions for not having a Defense to support Stafford. Stafford is playing the best football of his career right now and the Lions are just an average team because of the defense.

[Hugh]

To be fair Bradford is down to his 3rd string offensive tackles. But yeah, fuck him.
Norv Turner just fucking quit. The Vikings are 5-2, in 1st place and he quit. Tells me that he knows how bad its going to get and wants no part of it. I'm still impressed with what the Vikings did, considering all they lost, but now that the line is in shambles they truly have no way of doing anything offensively. It'll be a horror show from here out.

[Sanosuke]

I still don't even think Teddy Bridgewater is that good. He's probably about as good as Bradford imo.

[bdog1321]

Bridgewater is (was?)a worse Alex Smith

[Burnout278]

Grumble mumble fuck this season

[bdog1321]

You're 5-2

[Hugh]

Paper tiger.

[bludhoundz]

Is it just me or is the Tom Brady for MVP hype train going too strong at this point in the season?

Maybe if they don't lose a game with him I can see it. But at this point he's won them 4 games. They won 3 without him. That to me says he is clearly not the most valuable player in the league this year

If you only play 12 games in a season, I don't see how you can be a top 3 candidate after just 4 games. He is playing lights out no doubt, but this MVP candidacy is just media sensationalism

[Sanosuke]

Can't be the NFL without riding his cock. And no more PFM to challenge him for any award.

[Hugh]

I definitely wouldn't give it to Brady if the season ended today. That's ridiculous. But 8 weeks from now which AFC player do you think will have separated himself from the others? If we're talking QBs then Carr is on the best path right now. Do you see any skill position players having an MVP season? Any defenders?
Of course I know it's early but the question got me thinking. My hope would be that Carr and the Raiders continue their success and he gets it. If not, Brady might be the obvious choice by seasons end, unfortunately.

[Sanosuke]

Definitely should be Carr or Ryan

[bludhoundz]

Hugh I just think it's too early for his MVP case to hold any weight. Obviously at the end of the season he will be there. But I think Matt Ryan has a very large lead

[Hugh]

Hugh I just think it's too early for his MVP case to hold any weight. Obviously at the end of the season he will be there. But I think Matt Ryan has a very large lead

I agree. Way too early. Like I said it just got me thinking.
And of course you're right about Matt Ryan too. 3,000 yards passing at midseason is fucking crazy. He's hands down the frontrunner right now.

[007 GOD]

My Packers fucking suck.

[bludhoundz]

GMen!!!

The stats may not be perfect, but our defense has consistently stepped up when we needed it. I think we've been pretty good in the red zone at the very least. Huge win and I think we're in the drivers seat for the wild card now.

also lmao:

Getting rekt in fantasy this year, but my Raiders keep doing good things. I hope playoff tickets won't be too expensive.

[Hugh]

Browns perfect season still intact. I really think they're gonna do it, guys!

[Hulky]

@Bills is probably their best shot

[Hugh]

I agree, and it's not a good shot. It's a road game and the Bills have been tough at time.
I can't find a win on their schedule.

[Sanosuke]

I can't find a win on their schedule.

Yeah that's because they haven't won a game. Silly goose.

[bdog1321]

Dak is okay I guess

[Sanosuke]

Inb4 clever hugh post about bdog's acceptance of Dak.

[Maverik]

Romo is better

[Sanosuke]

Inb4 cowboys go to super bowl, dak gets concussion in NFC Championship, Romo starts superbowl and wins it. Cowboys trade Dak to Browns for 29 picks in the draft.

[Maverik]

inb4 Dak leads Cowboys to Superbowl and puts them up 6 going into the 4th and then goes down with an injury and Romo throws a walk-off pick 6 to give the Raiders the 'ship

[Sanosuke]

That would be tragic. I think bdog would literally die.

[Maverik]

I think Hugh would die

from laughing so hard

[Hugh]

inb4 Dak leads Cowboys to Superbowl and puts them up 6 going into the 4th and then goes down with an injury and Romo throws a walk-off pick 6 to give the Raiders the 'ship

Hugh callin the plays for SEA tonight

[KBHoleN1]

Wow. Officials completely dicked over the Bills there.

[bludhoundz]

So badly. I think it's dumb that Pete Carroll says "it doesn't add up" that the Seahawks are more penalized than their opponents on average. That just means they commit more penalties, it doesn't have to be a conspiracy lol

[Hugh]

Hugh callin the plays for SEA tonight

I had to do something.:)
Graham is an unstoppable force. When they throw him the ball Seattle is completely different. Hopefully this continues.

[bludhoundz]

If you've ever seen Jimmy Graham play, you'd have to know that Doug Baldwin wasn't catching 14 td passes again this year. Jimmy looks like he's back forreal now

[bludhoundz]

That no call from the end of the first half is gonna be the storyline in this one. Buffalo would have only needed to kick the FG there to send it to OT

[bdog1321]

It's okay, everyone here is used to the bills losing in dramatic fashion. They probably just sighed and ordered another beer

[Sanosuke]

Bdog honest question. If romo is 100% healthy right now and you're the HC, are you going to start him at all?

[bludhoundz]

please do

[bdog1321]

Of course, he's much better than dak

[Maverik]

As long as Oakland makes it and the Chargers don't I'm good with 3 AFC West teams in the playoffs. Broncos and Chiefs def deserve playoff shots though, I hope all of us make it.

Yeah boy!!! Ezekiel Elliott is a beast!

[Mantis]

Zeke with over 200 total yards and 3 of their 4 TDs. A lot of people doubted whether or not he would be that great and why Dallas picked him so high. The world is finding out why.

[Hugh]

8 straight wins for Dallas. What a game. Prescott would probably be ROY if it wasn't for Elliott. Hell, Elliott might even win the MVP.

[Hulky]

The fake spike (I didn't see that game) but was it basically Marino's famous fake spike?

[Da Gyps]

Zeke with over 200 total yards and 3 of their 4 TDs. A lot of people doubted whether or not he would be that great and why Dallas picked him so high. The world is finding out why.

People are stupid, have poor memory or both. Wasn't that long ago that Demarco Murray was slaying behind that oline and Zeke is a good player. 2 + 2 = 4.

We might have the worst offensive line in the NFL.

Glad I stayed up for that. We could just as easily be 7-2 right now. Might as well tank the rest of the season though for a draft pick that doesn't suck ass.

[Hugh]

I have a lot more respect for Romo after his comments yesterday. He's not the Cowboys QB anymore. He knows that. It's not about being ok with it or liking it. It's about not pissing in the face of logic, reason, and everyone involved in the situation except himself. It's about facing facts and accepting truth.
You should try it, bdog.:)

[KBHoleN1]

I feel so bad for him. I loved him being my QB. I cheered and cried with everything he did. I'm not sure I can come to grips with not seeing him as the Cowboys QB again. It's not fair. He has been so valuable for this team and it's never quite worked out and finally he has a decent defense and a kickass O-line and he can't stay healthy enough to play. I was so depressed after watching that press conference.

[Maverik]

inb4 Dak RGIII's it

[bdog1321]

Dak will get hurt and romo will win the super bowl

[bdog1321]

inb4 Dak RGIII's it

I don't think this will happen. Instead of reading the terms of sponsorship deals halfway through his rookie season, dak is learning to read defenses. Maybe if rg3 ever learned how to do that, "rg3ing it" wouldn't be seen as a bad thing.

[Da Gyps]

Dak also doesn't have a long history of injuries.

[Serge]

So I'm gonna disagree with Hugh here and say that I would 100% rather face the Cowboys with a perfectly healthy and red hot Prescott than a questionably healthy ice cold Romo.

The elite defensive coordinators are able to exploit rookie QBs. Look at the game logs of any QB who had a huge rookie year. Look for their games against teams like Pittsburgh or New England or any other team known for having a smart DC or defensive HC.

Since y'all brought up RG3 he's a perfect example. His inability to read defenses didn't slow him down against most teams that rookie year. He tore everyone up. Until he came up against Dick LeBeau and looked like a chump.

[Hulky]

The limited viewing of the Cowboys I've seen it doesn't matter if it's Dak or Romo the offense is block like a boss and run the ball.

[Hugh]

You're crazy, Serge. I was trying to think of another word for it, but I can't. You're not even a Cowboys fan.
So you must be crazy.

[Hugh]

The limited viewing of the Cowboys I've seen it doesn't matter if it's Dak or Romo the offense is block like a boss and run the ball.

Romo is old. He's barely played in 2 years because of injury. He's not mobile.
Dak can run, escape pressure. He takes care of the football. He's confident and has the confidence of the team. They've won 8 in a row.
They aren't the same at all. How can you say it doesn't matter who plays?

[Hulky]

I think they'd have beaten the Bears, 49ers and Browns with Weeden as their QB though. If Romo started then got hurt again all that happens is Dak goes back in the game. Injury really isn't an issue to me since they have depth at the position. Cowboys are cruising to the playoffs because they have a cupcake schedule.

[Hugh]

Yeah, probably. Four of their wins are by 1 score though.
If you asked every player on the Cowboys team, in private, who they wanted to play QB after Romo is medically cleared, I bet almost every one would say Prescott. That's why it matters.

[Sanosuke]

Romo to Denver. Denver wins another Superbowl with a stellar defense next year with an amazing QB that the original team doesn't want because of stupid injury stuff.

[bdog1321]
