As I said on Facebook...

I would be betting on NE -3.5 and NO outright hardcore. I don’t think it’s going to matter that Wes Welker won’t be playing. Pats by 10.

betting on the nfl

is borderline impossible. everyonce in awhile you see an intriguing line. there was nothing this week i would have touched with a 10 foot pole. college football is pretty easy though

Really?

NO was an easy pick.

NE was a nice pick @ 3.5, not at 5. They sucked. It happens.

Earlier this year

There was as dead solid a lock as I’ve seen in a while..Florida was favored by 73 over whatever scrub team they played in wk 1.

Knowing college shortened up the game clock rules last year, no WAY they were gonna cover that.

And sure enough they only won 63-7 or something. Not close to covering.

florida having to cover 30

was pretty easy yesterday too. thats way too vicious of a rivalry to be that much of a blowout.

by selppuc on Sep 20, 2009 5:48 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yeah

73? I mean really, 73?

You’d figure the Gators coaches would call off the dogs way before 73 anyway, worst case scenario.

I mean, if the other team scored 7 points, the Gators would have to score 80 to cover. When does that happen. Dead lock.

Sean Payton

Impressive.

I thought he was a decent OC in Dallas, but I wasn’t that torn up about him leaving or anything. If anything he’s outperformed what I thought a little bit. Theyre perennially a explosive offense. I’m sure Parcells was holding him back some.

Steelers and Pats

Both suck.

I was disgusted about how the various power rankings usually had those teams 1-2, even after week 1. Mostly due to AFC bias. Both these teams are pretty mediocre imo. And I’m so sick of hearing what a amazing clutch QB Rothlisberger is.

Why would you trot the back out of the backfield on 3rd and 2.

Incomplete pass.

If there's one thing that annoys me about Garrett

Is why he doesn’t take the downhill play calls.

3rd and 2, you run, you make it 90% of the time.

Why make it hard?

The other is that he loves to run on 2nd and 10 and set up 3rd and long..EVERY TIME.

OT

One thing I really like about the Cowboys this year is how they focused on special teams, and even brought a special kicker for touchbacks etc.

Last year field position killed us to an insane degree.

But it’s just heartening to see the Cowboys are taking rational, proactive approaches to improving key areas like that.

by Sharky on Sep 20, 2009 7:46 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Romo

Surgeon.

One thing I think will really help this year is Romo, another year of seasoning, familiar with Garett’s offense, a veteran, but still young and in his physical prime.

As worried as I was about Eli in this game, I at the same time think Romo should theoretically not be giving a thing up in that QB matchup. They have a great QB, but so do we. That’s nice.

Big if

But say we win this game.

The next schedule is

Carolina
@Denver
@KC
Atlanta
Seattle
@Philly

I guess your opinion of each NFL team changes fast each week, but right now, that looks like 7-0 going to Philly to me. Probably the scariest team to me in there before Philly might actually be @Denver. The rest look pretty winnable.

If we do lose it’s not too crushing. We’ll be 1-1, a game back. With a easy schedule coming up. And didn’t Washington lose today? Philly losing helps a lot. I think we can beat NYG up there too, depending on how well we play the rest of this game.

Do you even watch football?

Our defense has been pretty good and kept this from being even worse. You cant run the ball AT ALL and the only thing you have is Eli being Eli occasionally, a bunch of turnovers and lucky plays to have the lead.

I dont

Even think Eli is having that good a game.

He’s just hit a few long passes. You’re not going to stop a good QB and sophisticated passing game like the Giants all the time.

This score should be Dallas leading by a bunch, period. Then you wouldn’t be thinking Eli is having a good game even if had made all the same throws.

I mostly disagree

If the turnovers weren’t putting us in such bad positions we wouldn’t be behind, and the defense would be fine.

Like I said, you’re not going to stop a team like the Giants all the time.

I’m not looking at this game and saying “our defense sucks” at all. I’m looking at it and saying wow, we’re dominating this game and theyre winning due to some freak plays and turnovers.

by Sharky on Sep 20, 2009 9:19 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

So?

I gues he should be open more because you should be behind by two TD’s right now. The end.

Somehow I had a premonition the play was going to break down and Romo run it in if we scored there. But wasnt expecting a designed sneak.

With the very satisfied look on Philips face after that TD I actually wonder if Philips told Garrett to make that call.

by studcrackers on Sep 20, 2009 10:21 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yeah we didn't know any of that when we got there

Apparently our tickets were for the east side of the stadium party pass areas only. You can go to any of the 3 or 4 levels, but for most of the game they restrict you from going to other parts of the stadium. At one point, they had let too many people onto the upper levels so that if you went down to the bottom, they wouldn’t let you back up.

Anyways, I was there for 4 hours until halftime and I never saw the field for any game action. I was watching it on the video boards — and honestly, if I’m gonna do that I might as well just stay home and watch it on my comfy as hell couch.

But, the stadium is awesome — I recommend everyone checking it out once at least, even if you just take a tour.

if we were a rebuilding college football team

i mean i think we just showed we’re good enough to beat them but we beat ourselves and it seemed like just about every break went there way (aside from the missed fg)

Well

Since according to the media and fans before this season, the Cowboys were the worst team ever to lace up cleats, I think 33-31 last second FG loss to the Giants is big time moral victory.

Could be moral,but losing to an NFCE rival is never a moral victory.

Just gotta go beat Carolina’s inept ass next week.

Yep.

That was a performance reminiscent of the Pittsburgh game last season. The rest of the team plays well enough to win and Romo is bad enough to change the outcome of the game.

by Athos on Sep 20, 2009 11:02 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yeah

I wanna say Manning played so much better, like the game of Rothlisbergers I watch last week, he’s very tall, it helps a lot, straight passes etc.

But then you look at it and we had 4 turnovers and still almost won. So, I dont know. Does that mean Romo was really good, we almost won anyway?

I’m calling for Kitna. No way that’ll happen though.

This team just seems snakebit in big games now. We’re like Ohio St. At what point do you start wondering if it’s Romo?

by Sharky on Sep 20, 2009 11:05 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Obviously, one of those INTs (the one Witten kicked to the opponent) was a fluke.

But Romo simply did not play well tonight, and it makes me question those people like Bob Sturm who insist that Romo is an elite quarterback.

Romo doesn’t have to be a world-beater every time out. He just has to be consistently good to be in the top echelon of QBs.

And it’s games like this that make me think he’s not only not in that echelon, but he’s not close.

I hate Eli.

But he killed us in the 4th. He just picked apart that soft zone shit we kept throwing down. The defense didn’t do too terribly badly considering how many shitty spots the O put it in, but in the end, just couldn’t shut down Manning.

Well, he's right.

Can’t blame the offensive line, the receivers or the running backs. You could put some blame on the defense for their collapse down the stretch, but really, this one’s on America’s Sweetheart.

King of the obvious

by behindthebag on Sep 20, 2009 11:22 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

I'll give him some props on his interview.

Apparently somebody took him aside and told him that the post-game interviews he was giving during the December collapse last season made him sound like a gutless douche. If he has even an average game last night, the Cowboys win by two touchdowns.

by Athos on Sep 21, 2009 8:44 AM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

When it comes right down to it...

Your rush D was great for most of the game. Your running game was great all game.

However, Romo was bad enough and the Pass D was just absolutely terrible enough to give that away.

by cmkelly29 on Sep 20, 2009 11:14 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Their pass coverage schemes last night were flawed.

The left way too many open zones on the field. What was really frustrating was that they didn’t make any adjustments at half time to address it. Is Cupcake still running the defense? Or did they hire a real DC in the offseason?

by Athos on Sep 21, 2009 8:48 AM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

id say part of the blame

should go to garrett, i mean we all know romo sucked, but then why keep dialing up pass after pass when you were absolutely raping on the ground game?

Saw this on the DMN blog

Post-game party crashers
12:32 AM Mon, Sep 21, 2009 | Permalink | Yahoo! Buzz
Todd Archer/Reporter Bio | E-mail | News tips

We had some confusion in the post-game interview room with several fans, with credentials, sitting in the room right with us.

And you thought we asked bad questions. One guy asked Wade Phillips, “Do you miss Jessica Simpson?” which brought an end to Phillips’ Q and A. At least the guy waited until the end to ask the question.

By the time Tony Romo came to the podium, at least 15 or so fans with credentials were ushered out of the room.

It appeared a few of them attempted to get inside the locker room after the game without success.

Question:

How is it that Indy is only a 3 point favorite tonight? Vegas always knows something, but 3 points?

I would have started @ 6.5…

doesnt the home team

normally get 3 points for being @ home?

perhaps miami will be fired up seeing how they shit the bed last week
