As I said weeks ago, GOOD!! No matter what @Ambiturner wants to say, this defense is not ready to make a deep playoffs run. Depending on how this secondary progresses, they may not even be ready next year. But we'll deal with that next year. This team will be far more ready for a playoff run...
I debated whether to put this stat in the MLB thread or this one since it is a cross-over stat. I decided to put it here, since the stat seems far more impressive (or depressing, depending if you're a Browns fan) in a football sense:
In their last 49 games the Cleveland Indians are 40-9. In...
I won't be convinced that they are serious about uncovering this shit until they go after some bluebloods: Kentucky, Kansas, UNC, etc. Until then, they are just picking off the schools that will grab headlines, but won't actually change anything.
I'm not. These guys are terrible at prediction busting. No one is asking for specifics as to what will constitute a "crisis" to properly fulfill the prophecy. No one is trying to pin down exactly what the prophecy contains and differentiate that from the daily bad shit that happens every day...
It's looking like the days before The Rapeman came to campus. Bunch of 3 stars that hopefully have up-side and can be coached up. We'll see how good Rhule really is.
Rapelor + losing an entire recruitment class to transfers + new coach that runs a more traditional spread offense and requires his players to know more than 2 defensive plays means you're going to have some growing pains.
I really think this is an over-looked dynamic when people talk about putting teams in LA and how it failed in the past. When Al Davis was trying to get a new stadium built in LA, ticket sales were still a major part of a team's budget. Those days are long gone. A team could sell 0 tickets all...
Solid division win at home. Zeke was great. Dak was aweful. Defense played well, but it's only the first game. We'll evaluate the defense more after Green Bay, Atlanta, and the Raiders.
I'd love it if you were right, but that means only 4 losses all season:
Giants, Eagles, Redskins, Raiders, Broncos, Packers, Falcons, Seahawks, Cardinals... where are your 4 losses?
Two questions for you then, both over/under:
12.5 wins in regular season?
The number of playoff wins Romo had in his career = this year's playoff wins? (2)
Returning starters for all 32 NFL teams
It was more than secondary players. Dallas can't even return HALF of it's starters on defense. This defense isn't even CLOSE to Superbowl ready.
Honestly, I'm conflicted on this. We saw how the Brady thing turned out: Go through courts one year, serve the suspension the next year. That means we can expect Zeke to be out the first 6 games of next season if this follows the same path. I'd much prefer Zeke miss games THIS year, as...
