Perhaps, but last night's game would have been twice as long due to how many poo poo calls would have been overturned.

That was by far the biggest whiff of a call last night imo. That was the very definition of leading with the crown of the helmet AND he even left his feet and launched. So bad.

As a fan of both teams, this game just made me angry. Very little positives aside from the two defenses.

Defense is half the game my man. That makes at least half this game a positive, maybe you didn't really think this through

Clown ball is so strong with the cowboys that it doesn't matter who they play. Someone is making GBS threads the bed, this time it happened to be the Saints while the refs were eating paste.

The Cowboys do this all the time too. Sometimes they come out and just look bigger and more physical than the other team and it's almost like they're playing two different games. Dallas didn't allow the Saints to play their game, they made it a physical slugfest instead which played to their strengths. I feel like one surprising Cowboys win per season is the minimum

Browns, drat, that was ugly. At least you adjusted after the half but goddamn. Goddamn. The score should have been 20-29 at least. 3 Ints for Baker suck since they came back to hurt.

Well, it was gonna be difficult, so let's hope the Browns come back next week.

I am pretty surprised at how great the BAL defense was today against a good offense

I am even more surprised at how loving inept ATL was against the run. they knew BAL was gonna run almost every play and it didn't even matter

With Jackson/Edwards dual threat it's probably hard to keep track of. And if Jackson starts completing more of those rollout plays it will be that much harder to ever do anything about. Was kinda disappointing he missed on most longer attempts today, that one play JOhn Brown was wide open.

Loved that last drive though. The Jackson fake handoff to Dixon was very convincing and having him in there as that threat makes it so much easier to close out a game.

No picks for Jackson today but he did have that bad fumble play. Griffin did good in his stint.

I said it in another thread, but a win today for Houston solidifies to me that people should take them more seriously. Yeah the Browns got unlucky a few times, but a part of that was Houston came in ready to play.

Considering the Browns record I know this sounds insane, but I do consider this the first standout win in the Texans streak that has me re-evaluating them and their chances in the postseason.

Fire Kelvin Benjamin and Charles Clay into the sun. Allen looks better every week. Once he gets receivers that know how to catch he might be ok.

Yeah I'm definitely back in. The defense also seems to have found itself after a small hangover post-Saints.

I think while Flacco is objectively the better QB at this point, Jackson just fits what this team is doing better. We can dominate time of possession and keep our D fresh which is super important for a guy like Suggs.

It's funny because I keep looking at highlights and thinking man, 4-7? Must have had a lot of bad luck this season.

Now I see why they're 4-8.

Also I just remembered that one of the Falcons' TDs was a fumble recovery and I'm even more impressed at this Ravens defense.

If we can add some great RB to our team this offseason (I don't trust the current crop to stay good) I think this can be a real great offense next year provided Jackson keeps improving.
