Time to start selling insurance!

The Cowboys strike me as an overconfident bunch, and they shouldn't be.

His credibility is totally *****!

That just shows that the powers that be haven't been giving the Cowboys the correct opponent!

I felt like Nantz, Romo, CBS and the rest of the football media people were playing catch up yesterday. The Bills threw their usually narrative a curve. Romo was the best at recovering, some of these other dudes were trying to recover from not knowing, watching, and creating the trash narrative of the Bills. He at least knew something real about Josh. It wasn't the usual lazy BS.

LOL,So have I. The Clown Show that is social media and now they all have a voice.

Yeah I agree, that is a popular thing these days that I find annoying.

Pats are one of the poorest running team in league 30th ypc at 3.3. Don't bother using facts.

A+

Uh that is not entirely correct as I understand it. There are certain sample sizes that become meaningful for different things base on trials. 16 sounds small, but for football it may be sufficiently meaningful. I don't know, but you could test it if you want to. I know that the infamous Tangotiger, has stated that for teams at the MLB level you need to add 70 games 35 wins and 35 losses to a teams record to show you how meaningful it is. Therefore if you're 2-0, you figure it as 37-35, or 0-10 35-45. See you are depending on the regression to tell you how much you know. So after 2 games not so much. After 162 games with 100 wins, you therefore can tell true talent level as 135 W and 97 L, figure the %. In football, he says the number is more like 12 games 6 W 6L. As I stated earlier, I don't know, and you likely don't know, what sample size is needed for 4th down %. But, it could be that it is a small sample size or not. And, it is the number of trials or attempts not games. Usually, the more trial the more accurate, but at a certain level you stop gaining new info.

Yes they are college open in many cases. As I've said before, these unstoppable offenses come along every now and then and are all the rage. The 81 Chargers, 88 Bengals, Greatest show on turf, 91 Bills etc. They all get figured out eventually or just out talented. That doesn't mean they become incompetent, people just figure out a way to slow it down and beat it.

Cribbs also returned punts for the Bills. I remember him trying to fair catch one against the Jets his rookie year. With his head and hand up to catch the ball, the gunner from the Jets stuck his helmet right on his chinstrap at full spreed. For some reason he may have fumbled it. I can't remember if he there was a penalty called, but just for a stories sake lets just say it wasn't called.

Man Joe B loves him some Jerry Hughes! Always has him at or near the top, week after week, season after season.

I actually have thought the same thing while watching Singletary. Cribbs was a good football player, didn't have breakaway speed, but could catch and make people miss and cut on a dime like Devin. Good call!

For me : Atwater, Holt, James, Polamalu, Willis

J.P.Allen nahhhhh reminds me of another JP too much!

Every D coach in the league, who has the opportunity to play them, is taking it as a badge of honor to beat these guys. That's how these guys are wired it's a challenge and I'm just the guy to do it. Don't they have to play a team from San Fran on Sunday? with a guy named Robert Salah as DC? And a really tough defensive front that can attack them? Might not happen this week, but it could and it will at some point this season.

Yeah that's my point, it's the ultimate team game, you need support.

How many QBs are there that have proven they can take a mediocre supporting cast and take it the playoffs? SB? Win it? I would venture a guess like very few, 3 or 4 currently, and even with them can you win a Super Bowl. I mean guys like Wilson, Rodgers and Brees right now maybe...Brady not anymore. Mahomes, Jackson and Prescott? they look good but we have no idea yet, they've had tremendous support. Even the really elite guys, have any of them done more than get a team to the playoffs with a mediocre supporting cast. Usually, when they win they have great supporting casts. I think the term elite might better be applied to a QB who can get a mediocre team to the playoffs. The elite QB who makes the mediocre roster "better" enough to win a SB seems pretty elusive to me.

All QBs are better when they have a good supporting cast and coaching. Even so called "elite" QBs -nothing to see here. And he seems like a JAG QB. Nothing special.

I was like 12 on that day and remember watching the game. The big thing I remember was the defense (which was weak), had a great game and sacked Jim Hart multiple times. The Cardinals O-Line at the time gave up less than 10 sacks the whole year.

They can ball wash a star and a team you mean!

I think this is correct.

Seen it my whole football life, someone comes up with an offense like this and it looks unstoppable forever. Until it isn't. Which usually isn't that long.
