Shouldn't be though...
look at the craptastic teams that have a bye this week.

yup
you can say a lot of weak games every week.
I think there are some really intriguing games this week, especially Hou/Ind.

Chicago/Arizona is probably a snoozer
But those others are interesting.

Question for you gamblers out there
I see and hear all of these services and people like Hitzges offering advice and wonder where do these folks do their gambling. Bookies? Online? Vegas?

He's been amazing.
Getting Barwin and Cushing to go along with Williams and Ryans has really set them up well.

I'd rank him slightly above Romo
But I think Rodgers’ numbers are inflated, as he has a tendency to hold on to the ball too long looking for the optimal situation. The GB o-line situation isn’t a good one, but he compounds the problem by taking forever to get his throws out.
I like steak.
I love Romo
I truly do. I think he makes everyone around him look tons better. But Rodgers’s supporting cast isn’t one I go wild for and he puts up some great stats.
I like steak.
They need to trade for Marion Barber this offseason and they'll be good to go
And get that offensive line fixed
Antrel Rolle!!!!!
Made some awesome moves, returning a partially blocked FG, looked like there was no way in hell he could return it, then you think, holy shit! he’s gonna make it, and then he lets the kicker trip him up
Ahman Green is still in the league?

cowboys
continue to get a lot of help with teams they need to lose losing. a win tonight would basically wrap up a playoff spot.
they'd be looking extremely good.
at worst they would be sitting 8-3 after thanksgiving with two doormats coming up after green bay. packers and bears losing is huge. they already have the tie breaker over the falcons.
Just stop it
There is nothing to indicate that this team will beat any “doormats” just because they show up.

not really
but still you just get down and end the game. no point, crazy shit can happen.
He should have just hit the ground
To avoid a fumble. At least 2 of his teammates were telling him to get down.

IF its the Cowboys...yeah
But a team thats as bad as Tampa is scoring that TD feels good. They are gonna get the win no matter what why not let them have some fun while doing it?
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 fumbles there...
while his team is motioning for him to hit the deck and the Packers are trying desperately to strip him and have their best chance to win the game by returning a fumble, you have to get down.
by ghostofErikThompson on Nov 8, 2009 3:26 PM CST up reply actions
I know all about the what ifs
But jesus you guys are talking like it was a mortal sin for the guy to return an INT for a TD.
Should he have gotten down…yeah probably
Is him not getting down and going for the TD a huge mistake…no its not
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.
It is a big mistake...
It’s stupid football. It’s what a team that is 0-7 wants to avoid.
by ghostofErikThompson on Nov 8, 2009 3:30 PM CST up reply actions
No a big mistake would be trying to lateral the ball to score
Running it back, when he wasn’t hardly touched, is not a big mistake. Its something im sure the coach will talk about in film sessions and in practice but its not something thats gonna cause much of a fuss. For a team going for its 1st win I don’t see anything wrong with what they did
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.
It's something...
a winning, disciplined team doesn’t do. Why take the risk? You drop down and you win the game. Why put all of the effort and hard work of your teammates at risk just to get the touchdown when it isn’t exactly a given and presents an opportunity for your team to lose that just falling down doesn’t?
A team that doesn’t know how to win does something like that and it will come back to bite them if they continue to play undisciplined like that.
by ghostofErikThompson on Nov 8, 2009 3:37 PM CST up reply actions
Yes exactly
Is TB a winning, disciplined team? No they were winless before then. Exactly why I said if Dallas did something like that it would be something to complain about. But TB, a team with a rookie QB starting his first game, a rookie HC looking for his first win is not the kind of team I expect to just drop down 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
You are bitching about a winless team doing something a undisciplined team that doesn’t know how to win does.
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.
No...
I’m pointing out that it was a dumb play that could have cost a team a win and even the teammates of the player who made the play agree that it was a dumb play considering they were frantically signaling him to drop to a knee to preserve the win they struggled for.
For some reason you’re playing the part of the contrarian about a play that ANYONE would agree was dumb but you’ve said you don’t really see a problem with it for some unexplained reason but that seems to be par for your course.
by ghostofErikThompson on Nov 8, 2009 3:53 PM CST up reply actions
haha...
yeah, his teammates weren’t even blocking for him they were trying to get him to go down.

Same
But I also put 13 on Green Bay so what do I know
I think Luke French has a lot of potential. TORP potential.-Dstar
So
The c.w. has been that Jerry Jones would bring Mike Holmgren in after this season.
But Randy Lerner is apparently reaching out to Holmgren. And if Holmgren were to go to Cleveland, he’d inherit a team that is a mess, but he’d also be given complete control.
If Holmgren were to come to Dallas, he’d inherit a team that has a lot of talent, but he’s not going to have control…he’s going to have to take a back seat to Jerry and Stephen in that regard.
Right
But at the end of the day, Parcells could coach in Miami if he wanted to — he just doesn’t want to at this point.
Similarly, if Holmgren gets hired in that sort of role, and he wants to coach as well, he’s going to have the power to hire and fire the head coach.
by Adam J. Morris on Nov 8, 2009 4:03 PM CST up reply actions
He would have the power to hire and fire, sure.
But why bring him in through the back door? It’s not like Mangini is anybody’s best friend in Cleveland.
Personally, I hope he falls in love with Cleveland, cause I sure don’t want him in Dallas.
I think Shanahan to Dallas is pretty much done

Only to find himself in the middle of that mess?

They have no offensive talent
Are old, constantly loaded down with expensive players past their prime, and have the 2nd worst owner in football.

One playoff win
I think is the cutoff for Wade to stay for sure.
I think there might even be a chance for him to stay if the team finishes out a good regular season, say 10-6 or 11-5, and loses in the first playoff game again.
I was looking more at Wade, I think fact is he’s a good coach, about all you can bitch at is a lack of playoff success, but he’s got a proven track record of winning. He’s now 27-12 regular season in Dallas.
Look at Parcells 4 years, 10-6, 6-10, 9-7, 9-7, 0-2 in the playoffs, versus Wade’s 2.5, 13-3, 9-7, 5-2, 0-1 in the playoffs, Wade’s clearly had the better run so far. Lets say, just in games over .500 (counting playoffs), Parcells was a combined 2. Wade so far is14.
Should be
Plus 2 and Plus 14 for Parcells and Phillips respectively. I guess LSB doesn’t like plus signs. HTML thing?
But the key to the Cowboys being good lies in having Wade at DC and Garrett at OC. You lose either of those factors, well you have to replace them or you’re not going to be good anymore. If Wade stays and Garrett goes, if you dont replace Garrett well the team’s winning dynamics will be gone.
Garrett is having an underrated great season. 2nd in the NFL, not the conference, in yards per game. 2/32 is statistically immensely impressive. I’d imagine he’ll be back on head coaches talk around the league unfortunately.
BTW, I read something I thought was awesome about Wade a couple weeks ago, some writer, I think it was Matt Mosely, after the Atlanta win after the bye week, said something like “well I said it before the game, giving Wade Phillips an extra week to prepare almost isn’t fair” (I’m assuming Phillips has a good post-bye record). Heh, love that. Going against the grain. You never hear Phillips talked about as a good coach, yet all he does is win.

If Holmgren were to come to Dallas, he’d inherit a team that has a lot of talent, but he’s not going to have control…he’s going to have to take a back seat to Jerry and Stephen in that regard.
well you just said he’ll be coming to a team with a lot of talent…why would Holmgren, who got fired from acquiring talent, want to do something that the status quo does a better job at than him?

Mentioned this (with more detail) in the AM thread, but here, too.
I asked four people in Rangers gear today if they knew who Martin Perez was, per an earlier discussion. None had ever heard of him, one thought I meant Neftali Perez.
I didn't ask any of the 5 people a minute I saw in Cowboys gear.
Just the two A-Rod shirts, the Hamilton shirt and the Rangers hat.
When the Cowboys sudden became good in the early 90s...
…I would ask people in Cowboys gear in Austin if they knew who Phil Pozderic was, in an effort to determine if they were real fans or bandwagoners.

Why would random fans of the major league team know who an 18 year old kid with a handful of starts in Frisco is? I don’t see this as a problem.

Packers suck
Yay! Love it when my hated teams, Packers, Texans, or Patriots, lose..
Aron Rodgers is awful. LOL.
Looks like Texans get to keep their politically correct image by pushing Indy to the wire. I looked at their schedule they have some easy games left. Hope they dont make the playoffs.
Why, unlike everyone else on the planet...
are the Texans even on your radar?
by ghostofErikThompson on Nov 8, 2009 5:15 PM CST up reply actions
I dunno
Just started hating them somewhere along the line. Mostly because of AJM and Cahill’s moronity from a couple years ago about how the Texans were run like a real NFL team should be run with a real GM and all that stupidity I guess. Of course, they have the same or less success than the Cowboys year in and out.
Also, I hate most Houston teams, also hate the Rockets and Astros. Also stems from real life where I’ve known a few obnoxiously die hard Astros fans that I’ve battled over the years, back when I was a Ranger fan lol.
I hated the Yao/TMac Rockets
But these Rockets are entirely composed of scrapheap players who are extremely versatile and surprisingly good together.
Will you be a Rangers fan again...
if they win a couple of playoff series? Or was it Juan (Gonzalez) and done for you?
by ghostofErikThompson on Nov 8, 2009 5:23 PM CST up reply actions
Well
He’s awfully overrated.
He’s done jack since he’s been in the league as far as big games or playoffs, yet the media cant praise him enough due to anti-Favre backlash. In short, he’s politically correct.
I just hate it when some QB’s are judged by a different standard. I like how when some QB’s lose, like Favre, it’s because they throw INT’s and it’s their fault, but when other QB’s lose, well they’re great and it’s just the team around them that isn’t talented enough or whatever. There is a strong double standard in the league and Rodgers is a big offender. Jay Cutler used to get that in Denver too. Cutler never really did squat, but he was praised a lot.
Any chance for Cowboys to win tonoght?
Boy, this game scares the crap out of me.
Homefield is big here, it’s going to be very tough to win, sucks. In Dallas odds would be good. In Philly it’s uphill.
I’m still always playing the break down the schedule game with us. I look at it as 5 wins, and imo 3 more easy wins (2X Wash, Oak) left. That’s 8. Then you have 6 difficult games, (2X Philly, NYG, SD, @NO, @GB). You need to win 2 of those to get to 10, as well as make sure not to slip up in the easy games. Seems very doable. The Packers game is looking easier now too.
A shorter term way to break it down is, if you go 1-1 against GB/Phill, then beat Wash/Oak, you’re 8-3, sitting well. If you lose to BOTH GB/Philly though, you need to beat two patsies to even get to a lackluster 7-4, which would be disappointing, and not much better than we were sitting last season.
But
The real reason Rodgers isn’t that good is because McCarthy is pretty average up there in GB. I hope it stays that way and they dont get a good OC.

Hate that SNF intro with Faith Hill
That’s an example of what happens when women get involved with football.
Just like all the stupid crap that surrounds the super bowl, “themes” and shit like that. Only women do themes.
Some female exec thought it would be a good idea to have Faith Hill sing some gay intro. Guys, we would just have game stuff. Women, they dont care about the game they have to introduce a bunch of stupid crap to it.
Faith Hill...

Next possession
We’ll likely see a split backs setup in the backfield, giving Dallas the option of keeping extra blockers to protect against the blitz or send them out for screen passes and use the Eagles’ aggressiveness against them.

Good field position
At least, we got to the 46 to punt from.

No longer know how to run a traditional offense, they’ve become so dependent on the Wildcat.

There are a few respectable minds I agree with who think that's a great spot that every single team should use the Wild Cat in.
In an obvious run, just get it to the back as quickly as possible. If you can get an extra blocker, all the better.
Yes...
that was very well designed.
by ghostofErikThompson on Nov 8, 2009 7:48 PM CST up reply actions
I'm not even sure I want to call it Wild Cat, I dunno.
It’s just getting the ball to the guy who’s going to run it when there’s no need to pretend he won’t (though the fake hand-off is a nice option). Something I use to do on QB club back in the day.
Absolutely.
I like what I’ve seen the Falcons do with having split runningbacks, so the D doesn’t know who’s going and who’s blocking. They know it’s going to be a run, but they’d know that, anyway. It’s a tremendous option for short gains. And I’ve spent this many letters on the subject because I’ve always been dumbfounded that it’s not more common.
Garrett's playcalling
Just gorgeous that drive..
You wanna play around on defense Philly, Garrett is going to eat you alive
I don't mind Leno

at least he is getting beaten by the likes of America’s Next Top Model and Top Chef to prove his “comedy” show is worthless.

Whoah, there's a hurricane about to hit Florida?
Why was I not aware of this? Does anyone know much about hurricanes? If it hits north florida am I going to get any of it in central?
It's going to hit Louis, Miss first land fall
Then turn right and be pretty weak once it hits florida, as projected right now
You'll get some rain and some wind...
but it should be alright.

Philly's backup LT
Is named King Dunlap.
I know nothing about him, but thought that noteworthy and amusing.
I like steak.
ha
but that was a terrible call
"I just want to comment on how it’s become like a common thing in the [MLB] for guys to fall in love with [the Rangers’s] sloppy seconds." (thanks cstorm)
Long yardage against the Eagles scares the hell out of me.
So many terrible memories of McNabb running around for five minutes and then chucking it to some wide open douche for a first down.
nice
maintain field position advantage
"I just want to comment on how it’s become like a common thing in the [MLB] for guys to fall in love with [the Rangers’s] sloppy seconds." (thanks cstorm)
Some Eagles fans came in to my stretch today and I said "go cowboys" as they walked in.
I said it in such a way that only they heard it. They then proceeded to spend the next several minutes booing loud enough that every guest could hear them and they successfully drowned out the “ghost host” audio.
It was the least surprising thing ever.
what?
"I just want to comment on how it’s become like a common thing in the [MLB] for guys to fall in love with [the Rangers’s] sloppy seconds." (thanks cstorm)
Sorry.
If you’ve ever or never been to the Haunted Mansion, there’s a little part where about 90 or so guests come in to a little foyer, then they go in to the room where the walls stretch, then they go and get on the ride. A cast member (at this moment, me) takes them through those rooms, that’s the “stretch” person. Guess I didn’t think about the fact that you wouldn’t automatically know what I’m talking about. Heh.
Anyway, there’s a lot of dialogue from the “host” of the ride in those rooms, and just for my soft “Go Cowboys” comment, they booed loud enough through the whole thing to drown him out. Several guests were visibly angry at them. And I was most stunned by how not-surprised I was.
what about the part where we have no idea that you work at a haunted mansion?
but i think i understand
"I just want to comment on how it’s become like a common thing in the [MLB] for guys to fall in love with [the Rangers’s] sloppy seconds." (thanks cstorm)
one thing that is nice
eagles are passing a lot. no run getting established. bad things happen to the eagles when they do that
"I just want to comment on how it’s become like a common thing in the [MLB] for guys to fall in love with [the Rangers’s] sloppy seconds." (thanks cstorm)
Is it just me
Or did it seem like Newman had a chance to pick that throw off if he hustled a bit?
I like steak.
I'm gonna be sick
This is why I kept harping on only 7-0. Dominate all game and 3 plays and theyre back in it.
Sigh.
Cowboys are all over the place
Even there completions that drive were covered tight as hell, a good sign.
I’m loving the coaching this game, the defense is moving around so much, we are just not getting outcoached. Go Wade.
I've been thinking
That Jason Ferguson injury was a complete Wally Pipp situation. Ratliff has been nothing but dynamite since stepping in.
I like steak.
yeah
i don’t think anybody had him being a NT. DE maybe but not nose
"I just want to comment on how it’s become like a common thing in the [MLB] for guys to fall in love with [the Rangers’s] sloppy seconds." (thanks cstorm)
Or a DT in a 4-3
I still wonder if he wont slide over to take Spears spot next year, and we bring in a true NT
the type of thing that can change a season
"I just want to comment on how it’s become like a common thing in the [MLB] for guys to fall in love with [the Rangers’s] sloppy seconds." (thanks cstorm)
that's about right
but i like that guy in the other commercials
"I just want to comment on how it’s become like a common thing in the [MLB] for guys to fall in love with [the Rangers’s] sloppy seconds." (thanks cstorm)
gurode hurt
not good
"I just want to comment on how it’s become like a common thing in the [MLB] for guys to fall in love with [the Rangers’s] sloppy seconds." (thanks cstorm)
the pick-em league is now mine to lose
10 of 11 against the spread today (would’ve been 11 for 11 if not for Seattle’s last minute int-return for a TD to cover).
Greatest Inventions Ever? 1. TiVO, 2. Boobs, 3. Baseball
And so their samples should probably become larger until they show themselves to be lesser backs.
Go to what option is most successful.
Yeah, and I would accept perhaps limiting his touches for that reason.
But not because of Barber being more “physically impressive” or because of his recent seasons or anything, as much as I love him.
gurode
please
"I just want to comment on how it’s become like a common thing in the [MLB] for guys to fall in love with [the Rangers’s] sloppy seconds." (thanks cstorm)
they rarely call that on offense
"I just want to comment on how it’s become like a common thing in the [MLB] for guys to fall in love with [the Rangers’s] sloppy seconds." (thanks cstorm)
If that wasn't interference, I think it might have been a huge play, so I'll take it.
THough I’d prefer better coverage.
So when the refs don't call blatant holding and it resutls in a first down. . .
. . . they should be violently murdered.
I've counted four calls going against the Cowboys that were questionable at best
Wonder if they’ll Dongaghy things after the half
Look at the comments under Jeff Wilson's blog post on dallasnews.com. What a bunch of rocket scientists.- Keith Law
A sack on third down several yards ago would also have been nice.
There was going to be one before an Eagle tackled one of our linemen. NBC won’t show which one.
what we really need is a couple seconds to throw hte ball on offense..
the preceding post was a great success.
This team's selling out to stop the pass
That being said, It’s a good strategy. The Eagles don’t like running.
I like steak.
I can agree, I do think the defense is doing alright.
If not for a horrible no call and spot, this drive would have been over a while ago.
that is absolutely not true
"I just want to comment on how it’s become like a common thing in the [MLB] for guys to fall in love with [the Rangers’s] sloppy seconds." (thanks cstorm)
I agree.
I used to think Jason’s Deli was awesome, but I went back recently and noticed it’s basically the Cici’s of sandwich places.
Their Monte Cristo
one of the worst things I’ve ever eaten

In theory, yes
In practice, another story

You don't want to see Michael Strahan, Jared and Justin Tuck exageratedly lip-synching?
And fuck Subway for employing douches and not giving us 5 dollar footlongs at work.
Good hold..
Now if we can just tack on a field goal of our own on the other end to get some momentum back..
the preceding post was a great success.
OT
The History Channel’s ‘World War 2 in HD’ show is incredible concept.

I like steak.
Boys were awful slow calling that TO
For a second I thought Wade was pulling a Parcells and not going to call a TO there at all.
Anyway, they lost 15 seconds there.
Someone at FO had a good point this week.
WTF is with separate bathtubs being the universal symbol of impending lovemaking?
Dammit
I had a bad feeling when Crayton got tackled that it just cost us a TD.
Come on Dallas, convert, we need 7 not 3.
wade with a bad call
"I just want to comment on how it’s become like a common thing in the [MLB] for guys to fall in love with [the Rangers’s] sloppy seconds." (thanks cstorm)
Ogletree
Too bad Jerry’s ruining this team with his terrible drafting and all
Look at the comments under Jeff Wilson's blog post on dallasnews.com. What a bunch of rocket scientists.- Keith Law
YAAAAAAAAA
Whew, we come away with 7 here, we are in control of this game.
I could tell good things were going to happen that last play by the pre-snap look on Tony’s face. Cool and not scared, surveying things.
At least it's pretty clear
That they’ve got money on the home team tonight

Fucking refs.
I don’t believe in conspiracies, but I do believe in human mistakes sometimes being one sided.
well PI just gives them one more pass play with so little itme left.
unless they’d risk the rush.
the preceding post was a great success.
On the plus side
If I was a philly fan I’d be scared as hell at what Romo and crew are doing to me, even if we didn’t convert that time, Romo was just talking potshots at the end zone.
10-6
All in all not a half bad halftime result, and a damn site from last year. Sucks Philly gets the ball first in the 2nd half.
eagles offense
the are starting to click with the running plays. i’d be scared of a really long drive to start the third quarter
"I just want to comment on how it’s become like a common thing in the [MLB] for guys to fall in love with [the Rangers’s] sloppy seconds." (thanks cstorm)
they drove it 60+ yards
that’s not bad
"I just want to comment on how it’s become like a common thing in the [MLB] for guys to fall in love with [the Rangers’s] sloppy seconds." (thanks cstorm)
Boy the Cowboys kept pushing it to RW in the end zone too
I dont know whether I think that’s good or bad.
But wow, stepping back, we’re in good position to win a game AT Philadelphia. If we close this deal, talk about ginormous.
Ten more yards I wanted to see if the Kicker could've chased him down
I think Luke French has a lot of potential. TORP potential.-Dstar
