Seriously, after all the doom and gloom talk of the offseason, that 2-0 start was fucking ambrosia. Of course, the two blowouts that followed reset my expectations again. I'm more cautious now.
Still think we win the division at 8-8!

In the first 5 or so years of his career, we didn't need him to throw to win. We had a dominant D and an above average running game. I can't recall the exact stat but at one point if Ben threw more than 30x or for more than 300 yds it meant we lost. Deacon probably has the exact stat in the rolodex of his brain.
By the time we reached the Superb Owl vs the Cards, our D was in the habit of blowing leads, our running game was suspect due to the o-line being riddled with holes, and we needed him to put the team on his back to win it.
Maybe. It's a marginal upgrade. Perhaps Orton tunes up a bit throughout the course of the season, but it won't be a revelation. The Bills need something much better at the position. I become more of a fan of Watkins with every game that passes but the Bills could have definitely used that first rounder to get some new talent under center.
I also think Manuel is on the roster through next year. He'll probably compete in camp - might even start another game.

Is that that weird stuff that has disgusting okra in it?
Watt guesses at times, educated guess. He'll cross the face of the T and try to dive inside, and sometimes that takes him completely out of position on the outside. Remember the spin move you commented on last week, I'm not sure if it's design, but he gave up the outside only to make a ridiculous play to save it from being bounced. When he beat Smith on that would be sack, not sure if he had the snap count, he got off the line so fast, it was unreal how he beat Smith. He can be too aggressive, trying to do too much, but his athleticism allows him to make up for mistakes.

Hold up now, fried okra is delicious.
They knew the snap count. When Dallas had to go to a silent count (lol) Texans defensive players picked up the guard tapping the center on his leg to snap the ball. At least that was said to a reporter afterwards.
Watt taking risks and rushing inside is ok if we had one OLB'er who could hold the edge on a run.
Watt is just plain fun to watch at times. What will really be great is when his experience level matches his talent. Mistakes will be made less often, and ideally he'll still have his physical gifts.
I'm off to work! Have a good one guys.
I think I've had it in soup and it's slimy garbage.

True. I might have some today, and it will not be fried.
I am hearing rumblings of Garrett getting extended and I wouldn't be mad. Although I do think the current success of the Cowboys could be attributed to the coaching pieces around him. An example could be the run game. Callahan and Frank Pollack have done a wonderful job developing the offensive line. The run schemes are simple, a lot of inside and outside zones/stretches, mixed with in with the odd one back power, but the offensive line is executing and that is on Callahan. TE coach Mike Pope is another addition that I think has helped improve the run game. Just pop the tape of the Titans game and watch how well Hanna and Witten are executing their blocks.
Garrett had a part in bringing in these coaches to oversee his program, and I do think you have to give props to him for getting the roster younger and retooling the offensive line. Before Garrett, Jerry had never spent a first round pick on an offensive linemen. Personally, I would like to see Garrett see through his rebuild of the Cowboys program.
Romo even admitted that the pressure from the front 7 rushed his reads. He could not wait for plays to develop. Texans front 7 played extremely well and were disruptive, even if it doesn't show up on the stat sheet.
Edit: Romo's quote discussing Watt and the Texans pass rush.

So after 5 weeks who are the actual really good teams? (I think we can agree Seattle is and Washington isn't)
Seattle
Denver
San Diego
Cardinals? Bengals? God forbid, an NFC East team?

sounds like they overcooked it because it will become a slimy disgusting mess.

There were several plays where you saw romo chuck it and duck for cover because of the pass rush, the big 3rd down pass to dez in OT was one of those.

Chargers are cool. I've always liked Philip Rivers. Do your duty and take the division title from the Broncos this year.
There were a couple before they just don't post very much. That one guy with the Rivers goober face as his avatar.

It hurts more than you care to admit with the whole Dallas vs. Houston thing that these cities have going on.
Fort Worth still wins though.
Kurasagi or something like that?
Yup, on the play to Dez, Romo couldn't even read the closed side because of the pressure . Romo changed Dez's route on the play because of what the Texans were running. Texans were in dime, single high safety. Romeo brought pressure (cross blitz from the inside backers), and Romo knew Dez was one on one. Romo also knew the safety was cheating on the closed side (formation was double slot, on the closed side they had Witten, Beasley and Williams), so he was able to put air on the ball to give Dez a chance to make a play, and god damn did Dez make a play.

well having jimmy g on our side certainly can't hurt
I take the divisional game over a non conference game every week.
This is like saying that water is wet.
And I will follow that up by agreeing with a Pats fan.
Good fried okra is amazing.
Hard to find good okra in the northeast though. Usually we get some shitty stuff at wegmans and most grocery stores. I think you have to go to an indian or asian grocery store to get the good stuff up here.
yeah, definitely not buying AC:U at full price. Might buy it used if I get the urge to play it.
thanks God for the South
Hey now, NFC Beast has a combined 12 wins, more than any other division and the sole division with with two 4 win teams. Don't hate man. That being said Fuck the eagles and fuck the giants.
