Eh, I feel really iffy about the Packers game.
I really don’t know why, because logically, even at Lambeau, the Cowboys should win.
Remember to retire Fin's number, Mark.
I dunno
It’s weird that the line started at pick, and has only moved to Cowboys -3.
I mean, you would think the Cowboys would be favored by more, maybe like 6.
But I want to know how people post that dynamic schedule, with all hyperlinks, (tickets, travel) and such in official GD threads???
Cowboys should win though imo
Cause the defense is playing so well. Should get some drive killing sacks on Rodgers and some INT’s, to go with the usual solid offense. Should.
I mean Miles Austin’s killshot in the Philly game was great, but it was only so monumental because basically, you could tell it was going to be very hard for Phlly to score as that game progressed. And that was Philly with the alledged fearsome offense and all DeShaun Jackson’s speedburner 50 yd TD’s going in.
No, it wasn't Sharky.
And that was Philly with the alledged fearsome offense and all
Brian Westbrook has been out for them, dumb shit. The guy nearly averaging 5 yards a carry.

Uhh
So, Jeremy Maclin, LeSean McCoy, DeSheaun Jackson, were chopped liver?? Pretty sure all I heard was the media hyping those guys up.
“Dumbshit”
And 5 yards a carry, boy, that’s only 3 yards less than Felix Jones was averaging. Big whoop.
And whatever odds were listed in the DMN listed the opening odds at pick.
Smells like a trap
and that bookies are dying for people to take the Cowboys.

I don't know
The general rule of thumb is, if the line moves significantly and there’s no injury or other big event causing the line to move, pick against the move.
Las Vegas is usually smarter than the mob.

There is absolutely no rational basis for taking GB +3 given the recent performances of the two teams.
Vegas always baits folks with the Cows (laying 4.5 against ATL a few weeks ago comes to mind, even though they covered comfortably), but this is a safe line.
Well, 7 more weeks of the NFL, then about a month of playoffs
Around which time pitchers and catchers report
We need to integrate
A countdown clock into the site. I know BTB has one they set for the next kickoff.
I like steak.
Yankees/Lakers/Cowboys
Who is it in the NHL?
I think Luke French has a lot of potential. TORP potential.-Dstar
Probably. I was thinking either the Red Wings or the Blackhawks
I think Luke French has a lot of potential. TORP potential.-Dstar
OT: one morning i was listening to espn radio
and there was this national idiot, that was was talking about cutting down the sizer of the NHL. In that, he included the Stars as one of those teams whose fans dont really care about them and to just disband them. I wwas wondering what everyone here thought about that? If you live in the DFW area, do you care about the hockey team??
After Fuentes blows a save and an Angels loss to the Indians:
"Angels still in first place" - UCI Halo
"Hey you know who would have gotten those 3 outs in the 9th?
Darren O’Day." - FirebatM3
LOL
Sure, I care about the Stars
They’re one of the top ten most valuable NHL franchises so they’re not going anywhere
I think Luke French has a lot of potential. TORP potential.-Dstar
i guess i "care"
about them, and would hate for them to just be got rid of i wouldnt call myself a fan, especially one who follows them day in and day out
but the people who do follow the team are extremely passionate, i worked at the AAC for a season and you could definitely tell they cared about them. plus it appears that playing hockey down here has grown exponentially over the past decade

The Stars are a badass team
Playoffs I think 8 of the last 10 years. A few conference finals during that time. The lockout seriously hurt the NHL and it did hurt the Stars but they are bouncing back and have put together a very nice young nucleus that the fans can support for years to come
Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.
Pitt by a pretty good amount
They are playing great and want revenge for losing earlier this season when they should have won in Cincy. In Pitt I think this game is a 10+ point win for the Steelers
Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.
The Patriots will not beat the Colts
I think Luke French has a lot of potential. TORP potential.-Dstar
I'm so unimpressed by the Pats so far
I think Luke French has a lot of potential. TORP potential.-Dstar
I think the ATL -1.5 is about as close to a lock as you can get
Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.
I think ATL is above average
Losses to NE, DAL, and NO aren’t that bad. All their wins have been by at least a TD
Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.
agree to disagree I guess
they have had 4 road games so far. Those 3 losses and then blowing out SF in SF.
Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.
ok that was last year
last year they were average on the road
This year they have had a really tough road schedule
Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.
Hes the punter
its the NFL trying to over protect players
Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.
Oh snap, NO with a scorless 1st quarter
I think Luke French has a lot of potential. TORP potential.-Dstar
I thought that was kinda their MO
Get behind, then reel of like 30 points in the second half
Look at the comments under Jeff Wilson's blog post on dallasnews.com. What a bunch of rocket scientists.- Keith Law
how the hell
did that one ref give holmes 3 yards ahead of the actual spot? it was clearly before the 1st down marker and now marvin had to waste a challenge
I saw an artilce the other day that said Johnson was the best rb in the league, stats back it up
I think Luke French has a lot of potential. TORP potential.-Dstar

Yeah he has been open the entire game.
He should be doubled the entire time.

That Jet's defense is getting worse by the week
I knew I would regret benching Sims-Walker in all of my leagues
idk where my team
would be without him, somehow my team is 7-2 and after peyton my team is fairly average

I still have great respect for Simms for what he did the last time he started a game.

i was afraid they’d some how lose after lewis decided to play it safe and not go for it on 4th and inches
but man 5-0 in the division and only cleveland left to play, so a 2 game lead on both pitt and baltimore
There's actually a chance

What a shitty half of offensive football.
Maybe Cupcake will get ‘em fired up during the break and they’ll play better in the second half.
it has been shitty
but as usual, it feels like the Cowboys are really close to putting together drives.
It always feels like that to me, maybe it’s homerism.
cant believe
i called in sick for this shit
hopefully the indy/ne game is good so it makes it worth it

Sicks to be wasting all this defense
We really need to win this game too, if SD holds on, to open a 2 game division lead.
Big play of the first half was the Roy Williams fumble, that’s about it.
I guess on the flipside
It’s kind of a game that doesn’t hurt you that much to lose, if Philly loses.
Better than UT, I think
And I think they could easily go toe-to-toe with Bama or Florida.

It looked like to me he went to the ground on his own and his left knee touched. However it then came off the ground before he was touched/fumbled so I thought it would stand.

3rd and 23 you knew it was gonna be a risk-averse play
either a draw or screen.
Had Romo made a good throw we could have gotten a few more yards. Low throw no chance for Ogletree to run after catch
Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.
Because we can't protect long enough to make a deep throw
Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.
You whine a lot
I would think maybe Wade would have a hand in strategic decision type of things too. Garrett might call the mechanical play but I would think he’s making decisions like, try to get 5 yards for a better punt.
But I dont know, I could be wrong.
The problem is...
…with 3rd and long and a o-line that is having a hard time blocking, you’re going to have problems…
Not a bad idea, really, if you think they are blitzing, as compared to standing back there and letting them tee off on Romo.
by Adam J. Morris on Nov 15, 2009 5:20 PM CST up reply actions
Then run a damned slant ...
or something designed to get positive yardage. That call was shit.
a good throw gets you probably 8-10 yards there
the throw was low and Ogletree stumbled because of it. We had blockers out there
Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.
Sure.
I love plays where the best case scenario results in a slightly better spot to punt from. That’s great if you’re winning comfortably, but it sucks if you’re behind and running out of time.
Dude got about 20 on the same call twice last week
Safe, with a chance to get a first.
Look at the comments under Jeff Wilson's blog post on dallasnews.com. What a bunch of rocket scientists.- Keith Law
with 5 minutes left in the 3rd quarter its not do or die
Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.
We are down a FG chill out
Our O-line hasn’t been able to protect long enough for us to run deep routes or anything long enough to get a 1st down on 3rd and 23. It was going to take a catch and run to get the 1st down there.
Calling a play to get you 8-10 and possibly 15 or 20+ is alot better than a deep pass play where the likelihood of sack is high and you lose 6-10 yards.
Hidden yardgae is the key there
Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.
When your offense is playing like shit ...
give up plays are not going to get them moving. You run quick slants there and take advantage of man coverage. You give your wideouts a chance to catch the ball on the run. It’s a quick hit play, you don’t need a lot of time. If you hit it right you’ve got a big play.
what do you think a WR screen is?
Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.
Like you are with a slant
A slant and a WR screen are both give up plays there. A bad throw on the WR screen means the guy falls down and you gain nothing. Chance of a turnover is very very low. Bad throw on a slant has a much much higher chance of a turnover since you are throwing into the middle of the defense
Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.
What a fucking disaster
Of a promising drive.
Nice pussy give up play on 3rd and long Wade/Garrett. Why not just give up.
3rd and 23 with all the pressure/blitzes GB has been bringing it was going to be either a draw or screen
We couldn’t protect long enough to throw a deep route

That’s true, but if that one bad throw is the difference between winning and losing, then the rest of the gameplan was flawed.
alot of games come down to one play
A bad throw or a drop or whatever. It doesn’t necessarily mean the entire gameplan is flawed.

fingertips lets be clear here
Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.
Why chalenge this?
He got the 1st down. This just loses you a timeout. I would rather take the time off the clcock by running a couple extra pays than waste a TO here
Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.
If he wins, it's 6 points.
If he loses or doesn’t challenge, then they have to snap the ball again. And bad things can happen everytime you snap the ball. Always take the points, or try to, in that situation.
He did it so fast though
It was an emotional challenge not a smart one. The video was very clear.
And I understand taking the points but if you have faith in your offense from the goalline then you don’t worry about that you worry about keeping the clock running
Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.
But then when you fumble or throw a pick and get nothing, where are you? If you challenge and win, you eliminate that possibility.
There was no chance of winning though thats the point
none, zero, zip, zilch

I have 4 things to say about this game
1) Bad games can happen to any team, and its pretty funny that some people will kill a team for not showing up to a random november game. but if they had won 44-0 and lost in the playoffs the same people would later say all the october/november games were meaningless. The game did suck though.
2) The injuries are the most significantly thing to take away from this game. That could hurt.
3) Screw you Roy. Let a critical pass go right through your hands and hit you in the face… and then seemingly complain about the pass being high? IT HIT YOU IN THE FACE! Maybe he meant something else but I doubt it. The TD just annoyed me.
4) That review rule needs to be changed.
the preceding post was a great success.

Every game that I have been able to watch when the OK State Cowboys were playing, I have been extremely impressed with the play of Russell Okung. So far he is projected to be a top 5 draft pick, I wonder how much ammo it would take for the Cowboys to trade up and get him? How about this, 1st round 2010 + 2rd round 2010 + 2nd round 2011 + Adams (as a throw in). Cowboys get top 5 pick 2010 + 3rd round 2011. Cowboys really need to get younger and better on the o-line; Okung could be the answer at LT for 10+ years.
No
That’s really not even close to enough to get it done. Even the flawed draft value chart says so.
Okung is not the guy to shoot your wad for, anyway. He’s good, but he’s not a Joe Thomas or Jake Long.

Figured so.
Probably take two mid to lower first round picks 2010 + few more draft picks. I don’t get into all the comparisons to current pro players, because lets face it, they are already established. You never can tell what players will be a bust coming out of college, but the success rate for 1st round o-linemen seems to have been fairly solid the last few years. I still think that Okung could be a great offensive lineman, he just doesn’t have the notoriety of coming from a supposed prestigious school like Wisconsin or Michigan. Even though both of those schools have went downhill.

I made the comparison to those guys more because of their prospectiness coming out of college, not necessarily because of the way they’ve played in the NFL so far.
In other words, Thomas and Long were guys everybody projected to be great. Okung hasn’t gotten those same reviews. This is just a down year for offensive lineman.

Agree.
This draft class is pretty weak in the O-line department. There’s Russell Okung and Trent Williams and that’s really about it as far as true stud tackles go, and I don’t know that I would even put either one of those guys in that category. Our starters are fine, we just need better depth there. Our backups flat out suck. I think we need to find some quality depth on both lines, but I still think our biggest need is a ball-hawking free safety.
Jimmy Johnson for GM.
Theory: Jerry doesn't draft linemen high because they aren't as marketable.

Bold move, but bad move.

Belichick is going to catch HEAT this week...
Wow.. worst call in NFL history? Off the top of my head I can’t think of too many that were worse than that.

Spot was perfect
He was juggling, when he brought the ball down the ball wasn’t close to the first down line. He was in midair getting pushed back and already behind the first down line.
Put it this way, there’s NO way you could justify spotting the ball such that it was a 1st down. No way.
Anyways, Pats losing, in such a shocking fashion, I think actually pretty much makes up for the Cowboys losing, I end the day pretty happy on balance.
I don't think it would've been a first down
I’m merely saying I think Pats fans will be bitching about it.

Interesting stats based analysis of Belichick's gamble
They conclude that the Pats had a slightly better chance at winning by going for it, but it’s close enough to essentially be a tossup.
I seem to remember some article
Saying that it’s almost always advisable to go for it on 4th down, but nobody ever does.

It would be
A very rare situation that I would want my team to go for it in their own territory.

Gregg Easterbrook who writes TMQ on ESPN
has talked about that alot in the past. He praises Belichek for it in his article today

And every one of ya'll
Would be calling Wade Phillips the dumbest coach who ever lived, if he made the same 4th down call Belichick did. And there wouldn’t be a rush of stathead columns defending him in the media afterwards, either.
Just sayin’

Always going for it on 4th down
Bullshit, If you really did that in a game, you’d find yourself down about 28-0 very quickly. Just not make a first down deep in your own territory, which would pretty much be the default outcome, and then they would likely score of course.
Believing you should always go for it on 4th down is underestimating defense. Most times defense will prevail, and in sports, the macro trend is for that to increase. Scoring will be down long term in pretty much any sport with stable rules (eg, hockey, soccer). Of course the NFL can mitigate some of that with pro offense rule changes, but the trend remains.

All I can say is fuck MJD
Dude’s carried two fantasy teams for me this year, but his knee-down cost me a matchup. I lost by 0.24 points.
