    Always nice when D gets off the field 3 and out to start.

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    It's funny, have so many friends who are Ravens fans who were all "We're the shit!" when they were 3-0...who now are "not expecting much this year" after 3 straight losses. Told them all to buck up, I expect 3+ picks of Geno Smith today to fully put to bed the idea he will be an NFL starter...

    NHL 2016-17 Season

    Too many penalties killed all the momentum we had earlier in the 1st. Dogshit 2nd by us, just really bad. I thought we were going to tie it up in the 3rd but no dice. Was nice watching Ovechkin turn Staal into a pylon for that sick goal, but can't be blowing 2-0 leads like that.

    Ugh. Fisher in full effect. 2 games over .500...? Gotta lose 3 in a row. Eagles only Beast team without 4 wins, prior to playing the Vikings today.

    Munn so hot. This game, though, eh? Fucking barn-burner.

    Hahaha...in his defense, Cousins' numbers the last 4 games have been mostly good fantasy-wise. Also opposing QB's walk into Jim Bob Cooter Stadium and do very well.

    Which on one hand, is just more tiresome media coverage of Dallas (although at least currently, they appear a relevant contender)...but on the other, it's glorious chances for self-implosion.

    Didn't Dallas already say Dak is starting after the bye week? Although I haven't heard Romo's status lately, but I thought last report was the injury had healed he was just trying to work his way into game shape.

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    Ambi, to be clear. If it was a guarantee to get full strength Romo with no rust, and not at risk for re-injuring himself, I would agree he would give them the best chance to win. I'm just not sure that will be the case. And they already know they're winning convincingly with Dak. How Burfict...

    Obviously can only play the teams on your schedule, but we'll see how they do against some better teams. That said, it's nice to see the Oilers play up to their talent level against teams that on paper, they should be better than.

    And again...also because EVERYONE's stats have been going up since around then.

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    He was most of the offense, his play at least, in those early years. Also, as we've discussed many times of late in this thread, EVERYONE's stats have jumped the last 5-10 years. Brady is no exception to this, though he's obviously had more offensive talent around him since '07 with Moss and...

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    Sure, he can improve. As long as he isn't missing wide open guys for easy 6's like Cousins was against you guys in Week 2 though...can't complain too much. Especially when he's a rookie. His accuracy was pretty lethal when it needed to be against the Packers. His play is likely only going to...

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    Haven't heard anyone state it's all Dak. I certainly am not. It's a LOT easier for him behind that O line and with Zeke doing what he's been doing (also as noted, your D has played pretty well last couple weeks). But Dak IS doing some things on his own that are contributing. If you think you...

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    Moon, this feels like you were praising the Patriots just so you could raise Romo's standing vs. Brady by comparison by claiming Brady has always had much better teams around him. This, just isn't the case, although I agree completely they are a fantastically coached team. Half the time...

    NHL 2016-17 Season

    When you play a tired team that played the night before, you have to take advantage. Playing our backup, Grubauer too? Out shoot the Avs 40-18, win the game 3-0 (and could have been worse if not for Varlamov in their net). Ovie 1+1, Oshie a pair of goals. That'll do.

    I'd be curious to see how much overall profit Parker was making each season and how much he was able to save going forward. Designing his own wash plant and building it probably wasn't cheap.

    The Hank window will close eventually, there has to be some pressure to give it a go while you still have him

    Not really in the same bracket numbers wise if you compare Cousins, Fitz, and Osweiler last year. Cousins was 5th in passer rating, 6th in Total QBR, 1st in completion %, 10th in yards (broke 4k though in his first full season), threw 29 TD's compared to 11 picks Fitz: 24th in passer rating...

    Thing is, Dak right now is not just giving them a chance to win, they're winning big. They beat up on Cincy and Green Bay the last two weeks. Romo, while Romo, has to be a little bit of an unknown coming in because of threat of injury (lets not quibble, he's frail), and rust being out this...

    At the end of the season he wasn't playing better. When he got benched he looked like hot dog shit. Obviously I agree they must have thought Manning gave them the best chance to win in the playoffs, but that doesn't say much about Osweiler then. He showed flashes of potential, but in truth...

    Even if it's just for TV, I love watching Todd fail. Guy is a moron leaving sure gold to go on treasure hunts (unless just set up for TV). Always wanted Dave to break away from Todd and form his own crew.

    Lets not bs...it's not that he played "good enough" for that contract. It's that Houston was desperate as fuck for anything resembling a starting QB. The guy who drafted him (Elway) walked away from him when the price got too high. Not saying he can't turn into a decent or good starter in the...

    Oddly enough, it's because they try to match up all the good teams from the previous year, or who they thought were up and comers. Then new year comes around and a lot of those teams are struggling or suck a year later. Whereas Sunday nights seem to get more division rivalry games (usually...

    Man, Jets went from potential playoff team last year to blowing it in Week 17 and 1-5 to start this year in a hurry. Their schedule has been not friendly, but even so, probably never had a shot at their division, and 1-5 just leave you too far out of the wild card hunt already. Arizona right...

    Also, can we talk about how the Beast is back? Every Beast team played a team with a winning record this week, and the only loss was to another Beast team. Most wins in football, best winning %, no team below .500.

    All things considered though, it looks like they at least got their QB pick at the top of the draft right. Goff going to have a ton of pressure to perform whenever he finally gets on the field based on how the young QB's are performing this year.

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    The only way I see this happening is if Cousins puts up crazy yardage stats that make him ask for $20M plus. This also depends on how he plays the rest of the year. If it's more of the same, I think we have to sign him, especially looking at the QB situations for the present and future around...

    At first I thought it was just a little contact on the arm, but Julio literally had to go up one handed because he was preventing him from using his other arm. That's just a huge no call there when all they need is a field goal.

    As a football fan, what Dallas is doing is impressive. Separately, there is definitely something wrong with Rodgers, he didn't use to miss open throws like he has been. But I need alcohol to deal with the Dallas love fest this thread is going to turn into. Thanksgiving can't come soon enough...
