    The Dallas Cowboys Memorial (2015 Off-Season) Thread

    Agreed home field in AFC matters a lot when Pats are in the mix. You will obviously want to be able to play solid D and run the ball up there in January, but the Pats manage to let Brady air it out still. Not trying to say it's a bad thing to be ranked higher in rushing/D, just that the...

    Don't disagree with any of this, just pointing out that the main key is getting hot at the right time. No top 10 placements in either category from 3 of the last 4 winners is pretty crazy. Also ranking can be deceptive in the regular season. Even using the Colts as an example, Manning's 1 SB...

    Flacco played well that playoffs (especially 2nd half of AFC title game against Pats), but he benefited from a few dropped picks. Of course, there was also this.

    I thought Kitsch did pretty well with his role, even if he was relegated too often to just "warrior bad ass" of the group. While quite a bit of the VV dialogue has been tough to watch (still no idea why the fuck some of his shit gets so much screen time), I don't get the hate on him for the...

    Basically, it really helps if you get hot at the right time. Giants 2 recent Super Bowls and Ravens Super Bowl are great examples of that. Even so though, the old formula of having to be able to pound the ball and having a great D for success in the playoffs isn't a completely hard rule...

    I think there are definitely some valid complaints about this season (I have a few myself), but it's nowhere near as bad as you've made it out to be. Again, for reference, no one is putting it anywhere close to S1 either. Literally a tier or two down not even sniffing that level. But it's...

    Actually enjoying this season. The Jack dynamic and where it could go makes for interesting drama in the office, and the Donna/Harvey issues have made for a nice break from the "every episode is about Mike's secret" bs. Although it was brought up briefly in this latest episode again, but...

    I doubt it, they've gone too far trying to portray a real bond between Frank and Ray. Frank seemed genuinely pissed that Blake fed him a false name for who raped Velcoro's wife.

    Considering she said she was absolutely not going to testify to anything, not a whole lot of help backing up their case. She didn't even want to go with her sister, but realized she would be in danger otherwise so was forced to go.

    I think he respects Brienne, and in some ways wishes he had some of that purity of purpose she does (or seems to, at least). Definitely something there, but I don't think he's got the full blown feels for her. I don't remember boner either. Astro or...?

    See in the show, they're still kind of clinging to the fact she was in love with Renly, or at least, the IDEA she had of Renly after he was kind to her at the one party. Obviously back in Season 2/3 when her and Jaime were traveling back to KL you could tell she was getting it in the feels, but...

    Fucking Pens signed Eric Fehr to a 3 year deal around ~$2M per. Also unloaded Sutter for Bonino and Clendenning, along with swapping a 3rd round pick for a 2nd. Great trade for them. Metro is going to be stacked this year.

    The one line from the show was pretty good, when Qyburn is justifying his methods by noting how many people his research has saved. He asks Jaime how many lives he has killed/saved.

    I feel like the books leave this theory as far more plausible than the show has. Not having the scene (unless they plan to do it next season) where Cersei sends the note to Jaime to come fight for her and he throws it in the fire is a big deal as far as his character development goes. Show...

    I should have clarified, because even if he goes down the next guy was still taking as many/more sacks a game last year. Hopefully whoever is at QB stays upright for at least part of the games.

    $6.1 a year for a goalie hurts though. We have just a bit below $5M left under the cap, and you have to figure Johannson is going to get somewhere in the 4.25-4.75 a year range. Think GMBM wanted to have at least a $1M cushion for whatevs or just to bank up as the year went on to be able to...

    General feeling I got is that we hired the right guy for GM, but hope he can get something done in 3+ years. Anyone who thinks this year is "the" turnaround year is nuts. 8-8 would be an amazing record for the team this year.
