Yeah they're good but when they go against a more experienced coaching staff they're going to get wrecked. As much as I like him don't think Pederson can win 4 postseason quarters against the Saints or Patriots.

"Motherfucking, what's that big dragon shit? That orange motherfucker. Charizard."

Reading this is funny because I’m positive the Saints get housed if they have to play the Eagles in Philly, which they would. Their level of competition has made them look better than they are.

Philly is the only team in the league with a hometown disadvantage

The weather in January in Philly would wreak havoc on our offense and we’ve already had issues protection against teams with a good pass rush. We’d probably lose in NO too though.

You pessimists need to adjust your vaginas and grab your ball sacks instead.

Eagles bye week. We somehow gained a 1 extra game advantage on the entire NFC East while Carson Wentz is drinking beer & exterminating deer.

18-1.

Dak Prescott will take the field next week without an offensive line. Radical new strategy, but it just might work. Cameos will be made by the recently upgraded Sean Lee, who finally accepted his lot in life and became a cyborg. He will still miss 4 games due to ruined cyber-hamstrings.

I've only been to one regular season NFL game, it was this tire fire. It's worth remembering that this is ~9 days after the Miracle at the New Meadowlands clinched the division.

When we got up at halftime to get food, the guys behind us said "maybe we'll win this game if our defense can actually stop someone."

The halftime score was 7-7. Minnesota's score had come on a fumble returned for a touchdown.

The defense didn't allow a single point in the entire half. It was such an incredible commitment to negativity in the face of all facts, reason, and observable truth.

This hasn’t been true for a while. Philly has been the best home team in football the past 2 years.

We've been the best team all year.

So long, Jerry.

quote:

They could, in theory, attempt to trigger forfeiture of the Dallas franchise.

A league source with knowledge of the situation tells PFT that multiple owners already have been discussing the possibility, which flows from Article VIII of the NFL’s Constitution & Bylaws. Specifically, Section 8.13 authorizes the Commissioner to determine that an owner “has been or is guilty of conduct detrimental to the welfare of the League or professional football.” If the Commissioner believes the available sanction (a $500,000 fine) is “not adequate or sufficient,” the Commissioner may refer the issue to the NFL’s Executive Committee, which has the power to compel “[c]ancellation or forfeiture of the franchise in the League of any member club involved or implicated,” with a directive to sell the team.

If Tyron Smith isn't ready to go against the Eagles, the Cowboys should probably just sit Prescott because it's going to be a bloodbath.

Start him, cause #NFCEastWackyGames. As soon as the slaughter begins, sit him.

Take same approach with Ertz.

I would. He's a starter and the most talented CB we have. The backups have done admirably, but having an extra man in that slot is a good thing. We want Darby out there.

Then again, I look across the league and see some of the other head coach options and it gives me a cold chill.

Same. Garrett is a really bad coach and it feels like his teams lead the league in boneheaded mistakes that can be directly blamed on the coach.

But also same re: other options out there

Reminds of the hundreds of drunk call ins to radio stations about "we need to get rid of Romo and get ourselves a Peyton Manning. Or a Tom Brady."


When the hosts would question where exactly we were supposed to find someone like that and how would we pay for them, the response would typically just be angry yelling.

all you need to know about jason garretts coaching acumen is how he made 0 changes to the playcalling after the backup LT went out, allowing for the most sacks given up by the cowboys since the 91 eagles (one of the greatest dlines and defenses in NFL history).

Hey now, he made sure he used all three of his timeouts and made sure his starting was out there for the entirety of that 4th quarter, getting sacked even more, while down more than 20 points.

Had Dak been injured, Garrett wouldn't have been fired. He would have had his soul yanked out of him by Jerruh.
