    The Dallas Cowboys Memorial (2015 Off-Season) Thread

    So on to the Draft...I really want the Skins to focus on the O line and get some good young guys in the next few drafts. Our D has so many holes though just don't have enough picks to realistically fill all (or even most) of the gaps.

    Edelman talked to the press after the game so if he underwent any testing it wasn't until well after. Doesn't really surprise me though. Was a story going around about Wilson playing a large part of NFC title game with a concussion too and that's why he looked so shitty until he shook the...

    They missed some stuff both ways, wasn't there a running into the kicker on Seattle that should have been the roughing for 15 and automatic 1st early in the game too?

    Not disputing it, I would have handed the ball off or had Wilson sneak it. Can throw on 3rd down and run it again on 4th if it came to that. Honestly I think Butler just deserves all the credit. 99 times out of 100 it's a TD or incomplete and it's never questioned. Butler made an incredible...

    I can see the thought process. 2nd down, only 1 timeout left. There was actually only like 26 seconds left I believe? If you run the ball on 2nd and get stuffed, you obviously burn your last timeout. You're probably sitting 3rd and goal with no timeouts and about 20-22 seconds left. At that...

    Barnwell throws out a crazy stat "Before Sunday, NFL teams had thrown the ball 108 times on the opposing team?s 1-yard line this season. Those passes had produced 66 touchdowns (a success rate of 61.1 percent, down to 59.5 percent when you throw in three sacks) and zero interceptions. The 223...

    In some alternate reality Wilson hands off to Lynch, who fumbles and it's recovered by Butler. Everything stays pretty much the same except the only interviews in the Seattle locker room go "You all know what happened".

    Yes those Niner teams were pretty stacked talent wise, but part of the reason they did win so much also was because of the guys under center. Montana and Young were NOT like Trent Dilfer managing a game behind the 2000 Raven defense. I don't care who you had around you 11 TD's and 0 picks in 4...

    Sadly you have to admit there is something to this statement. Say Seattle hands the ball off and Lynch scores the winning TD...it would have been the 3rd straight Super Bowl for Brady handing a lead off to his defense with under 5 minutes to play only to watch them give up the game losing TD...

    Christ, Peters in net today for us against Blues. Ovechkin from his spot to tie it early. Might need a few more of those today. I love how no matter how much teams know it's coming, if Backstrom and Green move the puck that quickly they aren't going to stop his shot when it's that deadly.

    No, not really. I see his arm almost stay motionless just shielding his body, at most just pushing outward as force to protect against the incoming check. Any motion of it is due to Erhoff's contact, and not any action by Ovechkin. I think seeing any "pulling" is blind homer shit on your part...

    Simms did go 22 of 25 for 268 and 3 TD's though. Maybe not the biggest stat line but that's about as efficient as you can get in the big game.

    This is true...and frankly he threw up 2 of the great passes (at least for timing and drama and "big play factor") in Super Bowl history. Seattle got their breaks last year (and hell if they win it this year just look at the Green Bay meltdown), and Flacco had Rahim Moore watching his back 2...

    Erhoff was trying to check him off from his pursuit of the puck and Ovechkin essentially braced himself. 2 minutes for not getting knocked off his feet and Erhoff being an idiot and landing badly. At worst his arm lays on Erhoff's shoulder. There's no clutch, no grab, nothing. This is...

    Shit I don't even remember them mentioning him getting that? Must have been after his fight when Latta kicked his ass for running around like the piece of shit he is all game. Edit: Although nothing was as stupid as Ovechkin getting 2 minutes for being too strong.

    Hilarious penalty on Ovechkin there. Erhoff goes to hit Ovechkin who basically shrugs him down and gets called. Given the state of the game (4-0, Ovie with 2) maybe it was 2 minutes for making the Pens look bad on National TV. Pierre is trying to sound all enthusiastic about the Caps but...
