Go Hawks!!! Let’s beat the giants next Monday and head into the bye week at 3-1!

[Mike0284]

Not a fan of how close that game was with the Jets, but we finally got a win.

[JDub1]

The Dolphins dropped 70 on the Broncos

[El Rey]

absolutely not taking anything away from MIA but the Broncos are garbage. Funny to see Payton flounder without Brees and Wilson without Carroll.
Also I get not running up the score anymore than it was but its not often you get to set the record for highest score ever, McDaniel should've went for it.
While the Dolphins look great, they better pray Tua stays healthy all season. Also they only eeked out a win vs the Pats last week so it will be interesting to see how they hold up against a team with a good defense.

Not all that surprised about ARI, they were in the last couple games but everyone knows they are in tank mode so they have to make it look not that obvious, which is what they did vs. DAL today.

Yes it was....part of the job of a supposed "franchise qb" is to motivate the team when its clearly flat.
We all know fat mike aint gonna do it so.

[Bigdog]

This poor guy losing his partials after having to endure another Zach Wilson game pretty much summed up the Jets day...

[Tony208]

feels bad man

Lost to a winless team that people thought was tanking for Caleb. Maybe Dallas thought the same thing.

Cowboys 2-8 in last 10 games against Cards smh

Potentially season-ending issues are lack of touchdowns in green zone and lack of good CB play with Diggs on injured reserve.

[El Rey]

I didn't see the Cowboys game and looking at Dak's statline nothing really stood out to say he was bad but damn Cowboys twitter was calling for Trey. I guess it was a performance you had to see to get a gauge of how unimpressive it was.
Whatever the case, I guess people thought the Cards were just gonna lay down but their two losses were only by a combined seven points, they were in both of those games. I think Cowboys fans were hyped by their two wins even though by week 3 we now can see how garbage the Giants and Jets are.
Speaking of the Jets, they should just go ahead and see what Minny wants for Cousins since the Vikes are now 0-3. Or maybe NYJ is just fine calling this season a wash now since MIA looks scary. Unless Tua gets injured again, the division is probably the Dolphins to lose.

Casuals were always going to be calling for Trey Lance the second we lost a game we were supposed to win.

Yep.
Redzone plays this wk:

KC 20 plays - 35 pts
SF 17 plays - 24 pts
SEA 16 plays - 29 pts

DAL 20 plays - 13 pts

I would always say we wont win with romo/the clapper & peeps would argue with me - howd that turn out.
Now i always say we wont win with dak/fat mike & i feel like im arguing with the same peeps all over again.

They barely made it passed the Patriots last week though who i think is a bottom 5 team in the league. I think the Dolphins just ran into a very unprepared team yesterday, yes the Peyton era is already becoming a cluster @##@ in Denver imo. Only way a team gets 70 dropped on them in this league is if the other team essentially quits.

[Batman1980]

Payton was never going to be the godsend the Broncos wanted, especially with the ghost of Russell Wilson at QB.

The problem is the grass isn't always greener. Romo and Prescott might not be Super Bowl caliber QBs but the league is littered with QBs who are worse, some much more so. You can move on from Dak but what are the chances you'll get someone better? Probably not high. Just look at the Bears, Dak and Romo are probably better than every QB they've had in their 100+ years as a franchise.

Also if you have Vance Joseph as your defensive coordinator.

is the green zone a new area of stat recording?

bruh, its more than "casuals" (see below). you are pretty much the only Cowboys fan I continue to see riding for Dak. I am indifferent to him, seems like a nice guy but has not shown anything to indicate he can take the team over the hump and to the next level. If you are good with decent regular season, eeking into the playoffs to lose in the first round with a meh, at best, QB performance, he's your guy I suppose.

not sure about DEN being unprepared but just think their defense is absolutely trash as evidenced by yesterdays performance. Not sure about the Pats being bad, they were in those games vs. the Eagles and the Fins. Even in "bad" years Belichick's defenses are decent.
Looks like Fins don't face another decent defense until week 7 vs. the Eagles.

IDK sid luckman is in the HOF.

On romo/dak to use that quote:
"We won 0 SBs with you we can win 0 SBs without you."

Also i am enjoying this taylor/kelce thing.
