We're only 3 days away from Football season upon us....are you guys excited for the beginning of the season?

Carson Wentz was named Eagles starter officially today and I'm excited for the unknown.

I've got some high hopes for the Chiefs this year.  Although many of the players seem to be held together with duct tape at this point.

A couple dirty hits to Cam in that game but that's exactly how you stop a player like that unfortunately, take advantage on a guy who can get shook after a few big hits. Kudos to the Broncos and an excellent running attack.

If I know Birds fans... and I do...

It's the Super Bowl this year!

But really... the kid is damn impressive. Calm and cool and reads the defense like he isn't a rookie. Still too early for me to say the Eagles are a team to beat... but thrashing the Steelers definitely opened up some eyes.

And the once thought impossible has happened... the Rams have indeed scored a touchdown. 5 of them now! And we're 2-1! We have to be the worst 2-1 team, haha.

what would make you think they would butcher the decision... Dallas has two damn good QBs , it a decision a lot of teams wish they had. quite frankly it a win win .  Right now smart move would be stick with the hot hand which is Dak , keep riding the momentum. Some point down the line there going to need Romo. so right now just let him rest and get healthy. But if they decided to insert Romo back in , not going to be upset to be honest.   Can not go wrong either guy in my opinion.  I like the spot we are in... plus defense had been playing better than I expected.  At the moment we are sitting pretty.  I am quite happy right now.
Title: Re: 16-17 NFL Discussion Thread
Post by: Cory on October 17, 2016, 05:08:51 PM
Face it man, Dallas is going to have a QB controversy and they rarely, if ever work out well.

One has a bad game, then there becomes pressure on the front office and the coach, ESPECIALLY for a team thats so desperate to win like Dallas to second guess themselves and make a change.

Clearly they should stick with Dak and continue to play behind that o-line and hand the ball off 25 times and control games, make it as easy as possible for Dak. He's been winning even without that big baby Dez.

However, Jerry Jones wants Tony Romo as his QB....and you've been a Cowgirls fan long enough to know what Jerry wants, Jerry gets.
Title: Re: 16-17 NFL Discussion Thread
Post by: Black Death on October 17, 2016, 05:23:23 PM
lol...  like I said  at the moment all signs point to Dak starting , if not. I am not going to get mad because I like Romo at QB also.  So for me I can go either way.  Also long as we continue to win ,  I am fine with who under center.

I'm the last person to blame the refs, but Eagles got robbed vs the Lions. There was enough missed calls that the front office sent in multiple tapes to get reviewed by the league, just so happened it was the same ref crew that got separated last season for poor officiating. Eagles were the better team in that game.

This week, Washington smoked us. Our Right Tackle is suspended for 10 games and we played a 5th round project player who got beat like a drum all game.

Only positive is Carson Wentz is looking every bit a franchise QB if our o-line doesnt get him killed. Sucks he doesnt have any weapons either...would be nice to have a Dez or Zeke or....o-line lol.

It's a fun time to be a cowboys fan for sure.

Do you think they should trade Romo? Or even trade Dez?
I can't see almost any situation where they trade Dez. Trading Romo is gonna be a bit difficult, because his contract is pretty heavy on the back end. If they can get a good deal that brings them a top level defensive player (ideally either on the line or the secondary), I would say make it, if not keep Romo. Having him around is only going to make Dak better and I think they would push each other in training camp.

Well, my Seahawks are out of the playoffs, but that said, if they couldn't be in it any longer, I think this is probably one of the best final four I've seen in a long time in terms of fun games. All of them are super offenses so will probably be high scoring exciting games as well as a high scoring Super Bowl.

What are everyone else' thoughts on the final four?

My thoughts exactly. As long as anyone but New England wins I'll be happy with the eventual winner

run the ball 3 times, kick the FG its over. That drive was as bad as Seattle throwing it on the 1.

EDIT: Also snapping the ball with 20 seconds on the clock was excellent.

NE should have got the ball down 11 with the 2 minute warning gone.
