Dallas is notorious for playing extremely well in September and October and then completely shitting the bed in November and December. I wouldn't be surprised if they lose a player or two to injury and/or completely collapsing during the more difficult part of their schedule. I think they have a good core of young players, but some of their vets like Cooper and Zeke just fall off the face of the planet when they start losing.
Not that I think any of the other teams in the NFC East deserve to win the division or anything. Dallas is the only team constructed and coached well enough to do anything in the playoffs, so it would be the biggest choke of all time if they some how lose it.
And boy do I hope they do, lmao.

How rude!
We recovered from the Broncos loss well enough, and between Moore and Quinn i think the coaching is good enough to keep motivation high. Also, I think we got our injury bugs out early this year between Tank, Randy, Cooper, Dak and Tyron. Next week will be a test seeing as how the Chiefs seemed ot have found their mojo again. Wish we had Tank and Randy for that.
Don't mind me, I'm just showing my extreme bias as an Eagles fan. When I remember Howie Roseman is still employed and start to feel depressed, I head to YouTube to watch Buddy Ryan run up on the score on Tom Laundry in the last minute of a blowout.
I'll believe the Cowboys have turned a page if they beat the Chiefs. Considering how awful Kansas City's defense has played (and how well the Cowboys defense has played, it's unfair that you have Micah Parsons and Diggs) this year, I'd say they have a real shot.

Thing is the east has been slated as the cowboys’ to lose since like 2013.

He had some ridiculously risky throws from the 1 quarter I watched. That td near the end should’ve been an int but his receiver attacked it to rip it away from the db.

Some of these Stafford turnovers are painful, both last week and today already, a lot that just aren’t his fault. Doesn’t help they’ve been inside his own 20.
Yeah can he just hand the ball off to Henderson.

It feels like the Rams aren't even trying.
They shouldn't let the Rams on prime time any more.

I feel like NFL needs a ref like boxing and UFC to tell players they can't play. Something is just wrong with Matthew Stafford and they are wrong for letting him play
I'm talking the past two games? Yes, I watched the past two games where they got shit on and he played like garbage.... which is why I said the medical staff should pull him. Listening to Stephania Bell, she also thinks there is something medically bothering him. Did YOU watch Monday nights game? He looked like shit.
Titans
19-27
143 Yards
1 TD 1 INT
49ers
26-41
243 yards
1 TD 2 INT
You are literally posting the wrong stats...
He was 31-48 vs Titans.
294
1 TD 2 INT
As far the the 49ers game, he had one "punt" INT and the other higbee literally caught it then tossed it to the DB. He halso had 3 different recievers drop first downs that hit them in the chest.
He hasn't played great the past 2 games, but compared to other QBs they aren't even the worst games of the year. Even just comparing these last 2 games to the top tier of QBs this year they aren't bottom 5 games of those players. He hasn't looked hurt IMO, and his play mostly backs that up.
My mistake on that first part.
Either way, I will take the opinions of multiple medical experts, and you know, that MASSIVE downward trend in his play versus a mediocre Titans defense and a bottom of the barrel 49ers who were previously 0-4 at home. The Rams were 4-0 away before Monday night.
And for the record, I like Stafford, you can probably look through this thread and see posts where I am saying he is great. My original point is that I think he is playing hurt and needs to just heal. He is known for doing that.

It may be possible he is playing through injuries, but I havent heard about it so I just assume he had a couple of bad games. Hell 49ers are 5-0 last 5 games vs Rams even though Rams have had a good record during that time. But 2 bad games in a row don't even mean that much. Is Brady injured now? Was Mahomes injured during a few games earlier? Herbert?
I've watched both of these last 2 games, and it just looks like a hyper efficient offense hit the wrong side of variance and they had some a few key bad throws/drops each game. Plus both games had the turnovers occur early which led to them being down fairly big early, which always causes offenses to look and play differently.
Did it air? Was a big fan of all or nothing because it was in season. Hard Knocks this preseason was incredibly boring.
The only time I watched was when it was the Rams first year back in LA.

And this pivotal piece of our OL was put on the COVID list today. If he's unvaccinated (which would not surprise me, if you look at his Twitter/IG takes), he'd not only miss Sunday vs. the Colts, but Thanksgiving, a week from today, at the Saints.
Horrific. Our OLine has been so bad without him - so bad that we lost to the Jags and couldn't score a TD against them.
Boring Thursday Night game.
Is Atlanta really that bad? There defense played well, but honestly, it never looked like the Patriots struggled.
I am a Patriots fan, but I am not on the Jones Hype train right now. They are better than I expected, but they still haven't played the Bills. And they have the Titans and Bills the next two weeks.
I scream when Van Noy went for the TD, but the end with a freak pick anyway.
Peace is a lie. There is only passion. Through passion I gain strength. Through strength I gain power.
Through power I gain victory. Through victory my chains are broken. The Force shall set me free.
