I figure I jinxed Eli last week...

so this week I might as well jinx somebody who deserves it. Rae Carruth will have a sore ass at the end of this day.

If the Cowboys lose I'm burying my son's Romo jersey.

Since I bought it last year he has been sub par.

Aren't Aikman and Buck the number one team?

Why are they calling the Cowboys game? I was really hoping to avoid Joe Buck. Yikes, and the Cowboys 3rd uni’s.

Another conservative gameplan.

Haven’t they figured out that when they are playing a crappy team, conservative gameplans always favor the crappy team because it keeps them in the damned game for 4 quarters?

You have to bury shitty teams early. The longer they stay in it, the higher their confidence gets.

Yeah

he didn’t do anything intentionally. In fact he was trying to do the right thing by not leading with the helmet. All these rules the NFL has implemented the last few years have taken alot away from the game

And watching the replay just now the shoulder went into his chest and the WRs head is what hit Balls helmet

For pure entertainment value, I agree.

But I don’t want college style in the NFL. I want something that makes more sense than sudden death or college.

id like a twist on the college game were you can get the ball after the other teams scores

but use Special teams too. Kickoffs and Punts still apart of the game, but if/when the first team scores, the second team has a chance to match the score

Than the teams should each pick one guy and have a 40 yard dash to determine who gets the ball first. I like that idea. If not that specifically, just something where it’s not a coin toss that determines so much.

It's top-heavy talent.

And a QB with good skills and a penchant for insane decisions. He needs a stronger coach in charge of him like Favre had with Holmegren.

Yup.

The best way to build is like the Patriots with an anchor at QB and interchangable parts everywhere else without sacrificing depth at one place for talent somewhere else.

Sure, you’re going to be even better if you can land Randy Moss, but that’s beside the point. The Colts have done the same thing with more emphasis on stars at a few positions, but it’s still fairly similar: evenly spread talent and depth.

I had been okay so far this year.

I thought this was a 9-7 to 11-5ish team that was near the top of the list of teams that could make the playoffs. With some luck, I could even see them winning the NFC 2007-Giants-style.

Playing the Giants close and losing close in Denver didn’t change my feelings on that. But now this shit this week. I know that football plays with your fucking emotions, but all my hopes for the Cowboys living up to my expectations are probably shot now.

No, the fact that Austin just did that while I type this doesn’t change a thing.

Yeah.

Right now I still feel great. But once the beer wears off, this will fall squarely into the “moral victory” category. I had the same pre-season expectations as you. The only thing that I’m holding out hope for is that this is a team without it’s top 2 threats. It’s not like the offense of 2007 which could just keep chugging along due to TO’s beastliness. It can’t withstand those sorts of injuries and put up 30 pts/game.

Also, Cassel isn’t just a system guy. If he had an NFL starting O-Line (and RB), they could hit 6-8 wins with their passing attack. Too bad getting a good O-line is a lot easier said than done.

“Yes, we know we’ve lost ‘talent’, but the improved locker room is going to help more than you think. Just you wait and see.”

We heard that over and over again, so most Cowboys fans hoped for more than the 7-9 to 9-7 that most non-local people were predicting. They may end up there, but I doubt it. Let’s just say it might be worth paying attention to college football to see which guys will be drafted in the 10-20 range. (Sergio Kindle, Brandon Spikes, and other intriguing names looking to go around there or lower).

Most receiving yards by a receiver in a single game this year, and a Cowboys record!

You know...

…Troy just said that ‘sometimes you need to win when you aren’t playing your best.’ I totally agree with that, and that even the best teams have 3-4 off games a year. But the Cowboys Offense and 2-minute defense have been pretty bad the past 2 games. Let’s hope it gets better after Felix and Roy Williams get back.

Romo is going to play better

i know people hate him, but he’s going to get close to the numbers he’s had the last two years and those numbers are really good. He’s gonna be better in most games than he has in our two losses and this last game. I know people hate to admit that, but Romo has proven to be a pretty good QB

Feliz says his greatest thrill was striking out Boston Red Sox DH David Ortiz, one of his heroes. Yet, when he called to tell his parents, his mother had a request: Strike out New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez, too.
"So when I did that," Feliz says, "I told my mom, 'There you go. There's your present. Don't ask me to strike anyone else out, OK?'

I think

Garrett needs to be fired. We choose the wrong guy by keeping him instead of Tony Sparano.

And what the fuck was up with giving most of the carries to Barber instead of Choice, everyone and I mean everyone could see Choice was running the ball better than Barber. It doesn’t take a freaking scientist to figure this out from watching the game.

Way to go Miles. That was beastly.

Having Barber in there in the first series of overtime

nearly cost them the game. You gave KC the ball back at the 50 and they’re so bad they can’t get 15 yards to try a field goal.

Then choice comes in and we score (largely in part to Austin, but Choice had a couple key runs before that pla). How many series was Choice in the game and how many of those series did we score? Barber is playing hurt at this point and shouldn’t play over Choice.

A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.

I think it's one of those...

..play the hot hand things. KC was collapsing the inside and Barber didn’t have the speed to punish them for it. Last week, Denver was swarming so much that Choice looked like a standard productive back. I just think it’s more complicated than “play the other guy”.

But I do agree, Barber was pretty bad that first OT drive.

It's amazing how important offensive coordinator is

Garrett single handedly ruins the Cowboys, even when they win.

Just amazing how important offensive coordinator is these days. All those times you guys told me it didn’t matter, that it was about the talent, well, I guess you didn’t really mean it.

Obviously

the OC that the Texans got that you said were great suck. It shows that Sharky doesn’t have any idea about OCs.

Heh

Nice weak try.

I’ve explained:

Shanahan had no track record. He’d never playcalled before. I was assuming. Anyways,. I never said for sure, because of that, I only said things like “probably”. The Texans will “probably” win with Shanahan now.

But I dont follow Houston closely, I wasnt aware they have a suckball DC until a few weeks ago. That’s almost half the battle. I dont watch their games so I cant say Shanahan is good or not, I dont know. I do know it’s really tough to win when your defense sucks.

Texans story isn’t written anyway, maybe they will win a good amount this yeat. They will have an achilles heel of poor defense though that will ultimately limit them, we know that.

Their are lots of OC’s in the league that are good enough to win, but only with the right defense. Schottenheimer with the Jets, Ron Turner with the Bears, there are lots of examples. Hell, pretty sure even Gilbride in NY is in that category. Does Shanahan suck, is he great being let down by the defense, or is he decent being let down by the defense…the season isn’t old enough and I dont watch the Texans at all to say…

by Sharky on Oct 12, 2009 9:33 AM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

No,

you thought Jason Garrett would be a good OC too. Shows how little you know about OCs.

Obviously, the Cowboys would be better off with Jimmy Raye

Thoughts

Some guy called the postgame show, typically whiny fans after a loss, and asked when the last time was a Boy receiver made a catch he had no business making. Well, I guess Austin did it this game for sure. For whatever it’s worth.

Anyway, sure glad we won, bye weeks after losses are torture. Now we are in good WC shape, basically.

The teams we’ve beat have a combined 1 win. The teams we’ve lost too are a combined 10-0. However, nobody else has even tested the Giants, they needed a last second FG to beat us afer we spotted them four TO’s. Just sayin, this team could be 2-3, but it also pretty easily could be 5-0. Can you imagine the praise if we were 5-0? Instead of course, we’re the worst team ever to lace up cleats.

How bout those Pats, laugh. Theyre done without McDaniels. Belichick should be interviewing OC’s any day now. Orton=Brady? LOL.

I noticed before the game, boys still averaging a sick 6.0 a carry, but Choice was the only laggard at 3.6. Guess he brought that up today. Choice is the only one who can stay healthy and he’s young and fast. The epitomy of the fact players in the NFL are replaceable.

Rest of the season…we’ll be favored by 7 or so against ATL.

Rest of the season no chance theory: We cant beat the Eagles or Giants, so thats 3 losses. Need to go 7-4 to get ten wins and have a good WC shot. So this inconsistent team needs to go 7-1 against everybody else, starting in two weeks with ATL.

Rest of the season easy money theory: We’ve got Oakland, 2X Washington, Seattle. 4 wins easy. That means this talented team needs two wins in the other 7 games. Too easy.

Take your pick, lulz.

Anyways, crazy theory, I think this team might put about 45 on ATL. I dunno, just seems we’re due.

Once again Garrett didn’t throw any true deep balls that I saw. In the highlights, Austin’s long TD’s were again only on broken tackles, not true long bombs.

And how bout them Texans, laugh. Remember kids, if your owner meddles, you’ll suck. Just not necessarily as much as most of the other teams who’s owners dont meddle, such as Houston.

Wonder how many OC’s they’ll hire THIS time. I think it was 8 last time Kubiak, Shanahan, that ex-GB OC/coach, and a few more). Because the Texans know, it’s all about the talent.

At least we play seattle here.

Still, with Hasselbeck back running the west coast offense with burlseon and housh, you have to think that game isn’t a cakewalk. And thank goodness we have an extra week to prep for Atlanta because they just beat the stuffing out of SF. Similar offense to ours really…1 good WR, 1 great TE, some decent RB’s and a QB that can win or lose you the game. It sucks that we have to play them there because (SF aside), Turner is better at home.

TO, what a douchebag

You think he might be happier:

Being in Dallas, premier team in the NFL, basically being on national TV every week. Knowing how he craves the spotlight. As opposed to buried in Buffalo, possibly the least cared about team in the NFL.

Being in, maybe not the most explosive, but at least an offensive scheme where Austin can put up 10 catches for 250 yards, as opposed to whatever joke theyre doing down there in Buf, and have that be all over national TV.

All because he couldn’t keep his big mouth shut. I remember when he started criticizing Garrett, last year, he said the team has to get him involved to succeed, rather than reprimanding him, Wade and Jerry both basically came out and said “He’s right. He’s got a point”. I mean how fortunate he was too be with bosses that cool. And he pissed it away. What a maroon.

OT

Texas sucks.

Year after year Texas plays the worst non conference schedule EVER. Especially early.

Being a Miami fan having to hear it from Texas fans, it really gets on my nerves.

Texas played Ohio St. early one of these last few years, I give them credit for that game. That’s it.

Lets see, while my Canes were busy STARTING OFF with four games in a row against ranked opponents, Florida St, Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech, and Oklahoma, Texas was feasting on their usual early season menu of complete and utter patsies, that they have zero chance of losing to.

Louisiana-Monroe, a typical Texas non conference opponent, boy, there’s a tough club. Wyoming, boy, that’s stout. Finally play a team that actually is in division 1. Texas Tech, that’s not ranked and on a down year, and doesn’t have near the talent Texas does year in year out, in short is no real threat at all. Having bested the brutal part of their schedule, they resume in week 4 with UTEP.

Finally they play their 2nd team that actually is any kind of semblance of a football team, but still one with no chance to beat them, Colorado.

I’m sitting here as a Miami fan, watching Texas pound patsies, be the #2 team in the country without a chance in hell of losing for the first SIX WEEKS of the season (counting the bye), and their fans talk trash after they pound the likes of UTEP. OK, it’s not like this is a one time thing. This is Texas every single year.

And the Big 12 sucks this year, so I looked at their schedule a couple weeks in, and noted, Texas really doesnt play ANYBODY this year. At all. I mean, the one “tough” game theyve got is Oklahoma. One. Never mind that’s basically a home game for them too. Never mind OU kinda sucks this year and already has two losses. So oh, their one tough game, kinda equals zero tough games. And yeah, they have Oklahoma St, you know, a 20-25ish team, that really shouldn’t beat Texas. So the few sort of, kind of, a little bit, competitive games Texas plays, are not really against the type of teams that can really beat a Texas.

I mean, fuck. I know the Big 12 sucks, but geez.

BTW, was the Big 12 EVER really good? Even when they were considered good? I mean, the third best team in that conference year in year out is probably Texas Tech. Texas Tech is a nice 20-25-ish team, but they dont have the talent of the Penn St, Bama, Texas type schools, year in and out. There just aren’t enough big schools in the Big 12 imo.

i mean seriously, I’m a top 25 voter this week, I rank Texas no higher than 15th, just to make a friggen point. Period. There’s no way Texas should be ranked higher than Miami, one loss or not, Miami has played 4 teams far better than anybody Texas has.

Trading Marion Barber

Any chance the Cowboys will trade him in the off-season? What is his value? Tashard Choice and Felix Jones is a pretty good tandem to have.

by Monkey Brain on Oct 12, 2009 2:42 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Very Little.

He’s on his second contract, so he’s not a bargain. Plus, he’s not as bad as he’s been the past two weeks. He’s just been hurt. Punishing runs plus best on blitz pick up for a team that gets enticed into throwing too much means he has more value to us than to another team.

Plus, if he was so easily replaceable through the draft, the potential trading partners could just address it through the draft.

Finally, what I have been waiting for since the Giants playoff loss
Wide receiver Patrick Crayton might get benched in place of Miles Austin in the starting lineup.

….

Crayton is also on the verge of losing his job as a punt returner. He muffed a punt Sunday at Kansas City and looked tentative in calling three fair catches.
