Sadly now RFK is falling apart and the one time I went there for a DC United game I could've sworn it was haunted by literal ghosts. The whole place was spooky.

Dallas also is a city of transients, and Arlington specifically is a nightmare to get to because the people there are willing to pay taxes on everything except public transportation (oh boy, another new stadium project!)


Between that and Jerruh basically pricing out the loudest fans, it's no surprise when JerryWorld is 60% road fans. Hell, it's a vacation for them.

Filthy poors can pay for a $20 "party pass" and earn the privilege of standing up during the entire game in a huddled mass of $10 piss beer guzzling humanity gazing skyward toward a gigantic television.

RFK was falling apart when the Nationals were using it.

The Eagles are 3-1.

The Cowboys are 2-2.

The Skins are 2-1 pending tomorrow's game.

The Giants are 0-4.

If you told me the entire secondary + Cox + Sproles would be injured by Week 4 I would not have thought we would've been 3-1.

But Douglas got smoked multiple times? He gave up a 75 yard TD, he gave up a 50 yard reception that became a field goal. He also got away with a PI in the end zone... I guess because the ball was thought uncatchable? Because otherwise it was clearly PI.

I think he has potential. It's unfortunate he's been forced to play so soon. He's done some good things, but he's a huge liability right now.

The off-season additions are really looking great, in particular Jernigan, Long, Blount and Jeffery.

Torrey Smith hasn't impressed, but you can't win them all. Mack Hollins needs more targets.

Ertz is leading the NFL in receptions and yards for a TE. Gronkowski is close though.

Whoa, it's this month? I didn't realize the new United stadium was going to be up that quickly. I'll miss it. We got to do some on the field stuff there at halftime for the Washington Area Frisbee Club and it was really neat.

Good news! Darby should be back either this week (vs AZ) or next week (@CAR) and there's even a chance Sidney Jones might play at some point this year.

The secondary is likely to get better as the year goes on as guys get healthy. I also think we're on our third(?) string safety and I know we've had at least one other CB injury.

My biggest concern is that teams are eventually going to figure out that dink and dunk style is the way to beat us. Our CBs are not playing at the line so short curl and crossing routes are picking up decent yds. This should change once Darby is back but the Giants showed that you can march on us by doing that and the Chargers did it a couple of times

That probably becomes a bit less of a factor when the secondary isn't held together by chewed bubble gum and hope, but yeah, their insistence on playing off the line is kind of weird.

Both of which most people would have told you were pretty good teams before the season began, both of which have excellent albeit aging qbs, both of which had the benefit of only having half of our defense to contend with, particularly in the secondary.

Giants could easily be 3-1. Chargers could also easily be 3-1. Both teams only got trashed in 1 game so yeah. We had a few games like that last season.

I don't trust Wentz to throw anything but a medium slant or curl.

I trust Wentz to make any throw on the field as long as he's scrambling as pass rushers bear down on him. It's when he has time that the throws sometimes seem to go awry.

I think the packers game will be a good litmus test as to where the Cowboys stand this year. I figure it'll be another close game or maybe a blowout because Aaron Rodgers is going to make the defense look stupid.

There was a throw yesterday to Ertz in like, the 3rd quarter that was absolutely beautiful

e: it's a little wobblier than I remembered, but the placement is awesome
