NFL 2018-19

The trade for Cooper has definitely paid off for the Cowboys. I didn't think they had a chance of making the playoffs.
Jon Gruden deserves a lot of credit for that defense for giving them Mack.
PACKers play best game of season now that their playiff chances are around 3%. I predict they’ll finish 500, be the first team out of the playoffs, and have to settle for 15-20th pick in draft.
If the Cowboys offense was 40% as good as their defense, they'd be Superbowl bound I think. As is, they're one and done in the playoffs, I'm pretty sure. Same as always.
Dak is just WAY too inconsistent. Alternates between good and bad throws play to play. WAY too many missed throws that 80% of all NFL QBs would regularly make.
He has to commit to fixing that before they even consider signing him to a big deal. But its the Cowboys so they won't, they'll just blindly give him like Brees, Rodgers, Brady money. Dak isn't on the same planet as those guys regarding passing accuracy skills.
Shame that happened to Billichek, Gronk, and the Pats. The way it did, with fails from like 6 defenders on the field. Damn shame.
They had arguably the best O Line players IN THE LEAGUE at THREE of five front spots in Zach Martin, Travis Frederick, and Tyron Smith. Now all three are out or questionable at best. Discouraging. Just can't get near the push / holes they used to, and Dak is sort of a train wreck in a collapsing pocket. Holds it too long, is fumble prone

Ya, maybe they won't be a playoff team now...
Well there is virtually no way they don't win that perpetually weak division.... but it'd be nice if they missed out on a bye first round, and had to go in and win in a place like KC or Houston.

Watching Gronk trying to run that guy down was entertaining.
Former Tar Heel Eric Ebron breaks the Colts franchise record for touchdowns from the Tight End position. I'm glad to see him having success after being considered a draft bust. It's amazing what leaving the Lions organization and being around a real quarterback can do for a skill player.

Former Tar Heel Julius Peppers was nominated as the Panthers representative for the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award.
seriously!?...that’s crazy
meanwhile, i’m on the fence about garrett...if he loses out, he’s gone...win and get in as the four seed and you can beat anyone on your side.
I think if Clappy the Clown doesn't get past the first round of the playoffs, which likely would mean losing at home to a lower seed, he gets bounced. Plus all the coordinators. Which is OK by me I guess. At least the O coordinator needs to go. Like you said, most predictable, basic, dumb play calling in the history of football.
linehan is gone i do believe...he and kellen moore are gone.
the loss of wade wilson and the arrogance of this staff with this “all we need to do is execute” offense is going to be the downfall...if i see one more bunch formation with three tight ends on short yardage...ugh
sometimes you have to scheme...the colts schemed, clearly.
Two months later... and still not so good. This crew is just very average (at best).
Sad, because MNF used to be the best of the best.
I'm OK with them keeping the defensive coaches, and possibly the secondary coach (last name Richard who coached Seattle Legion of Doom?) - possibly could be defensive coordinator?
Their offensive scheme is horrible, but how do you go anywhere, against a good but not great team, and get shut out? So many games this year the Cowboys defense has had to play nearly perfect to win.... against Carolina (a loss), both Philly games, first Washington game (a loss), New Orleans, Indy, etc.
This is especially true if you look at the turnovers and short field that Dak and the offense has given to the opposing team. Those scores are on the Cowboys offense, not their defense. Dak is a good competitor, and seems tough.... but he's got miles to go with footwork and consistent throwing accuracy and reads.
Pretty unlistenable. especially Witten, and I'm a lifelong fan of his on the field. I'd say the same about Romo, too. And Aikman, too, for that matter. These guys make it clear that on-field intelligence and articulation is an entirely different thing than having those skills and abilities to come acrosss well on TV / radio.
Eric Ebron selected to the pro bowl. Very well deserved!
As they should.
What a crappy season this turned out to be. But that 6-2 start was fools gold with some of the games they won.
ETA: at least the Panthers will keep their steak alive.

This craps me up every time ... OL returns kickoff 70 yards.
I was at that game
Awesome! I bet the crowd was loving it.
Connolly has to be thinking... eh, I’ll just get my 7 yards and then, oh hell, this is HAPPENING!
Ya, they kept playing the replay of it on the big board for the rest of the game to get the crowd pumped up haha
In today's NFL, he's great. He can't block for shit but today's NFL doesn't ask that of TEs. Dude is a TD monster though.
yeah, Booger is definitely better than those other two. The pbp guy is bland, and witten is pretty lame.
the callas dowboys got the business end of the officiating today.
happy about winning the division...the nfc is wide open, but that offense is shit.

Kinda like anyone that plays in n’awlins.... they get the business end of that Saints home-cooking. You feel like you’re watching a dook game in H.I.S.
Don’t worry Sean Payton (you cheating ****er)... you’ll get a flag whenever you don’t convert on 4th down. Garaun-****ing-teed.
I hate the Saints. Ever since they got busted for paying players to hurt other team's players? Fvck'em
Sean Peyton should have been banned from professional football for that shit.
