We really haven't blown out anyone this year tho. Although if you look at the stats, and the games themselves it tells another story from the score at the end.

I can't see how Dallas doesn't win this game tonight, but who knows anything can happen in Football.

I'm just hoping Dallas doesn't have any major injuries after this game, especially since we have the short week going into Arizona.

Hard to troll when your team gets crushed and your QB gets exposed as one of the worst in the NFL.

That's odd, I just checked season QB ratings on NFL.com and Cutler is rated higher than Matt Ryan, Stafford, Dalton, Flacco, Alex Smith, Kaepernick, Cam Newton, Brian Hoyer, Nick FOles, Bridgewater, etc. etc. etc. etc.

Saw an interesting article at the SB Nation Cowboys blog by a guy who's their resident number cruncher. Was about how badly playing the Cowboys and Demarco Murrey have skewed their opponent's run defense ranking. Like how the Seahawks went from the #1 run defense to #6, but even taking in account the games they've played since Dallas, taking out the Dallas numbers leaves them at #1 (oddly enough STL got worse when taking Dallas away, probably because they held Dallas lower than everyone else). Made me think about how sometimes a really bad game can skew perception and even the stats a bit.

Woke up this morning feeling sick at the thought that Dallas loses tonight. Years of being shit on have cowed me into irrational fear of sporting success. Think Dallas wins, but think its really close.

Speaking to moontayle's post, I'd look for Murray to get shut down tonight. Haslett is really good at taking away the running game of strong running teams. He'll almost undoubtedly key in on the run game. But that means that Romo will have a career night. That's because, while Haslett is really good at keying in on one function of an offense, he's absolutely terrible at gameplanning for the entire offense. He'll shut down the run game without realizing that we have a horrendous pass defense with almost no talent. Not only that, but I'd look for the Redskins pass rushers to get almost no pressure the entire night.

I'm looking for Bryant to have 150+ yards and at least 2 TD's.

The line on this one is 9.5, and I think that's being generous to the Redskins.

After seeing the Colts, GB and Detroit yesterday I think the patriots likely come out of this 5 game stretch 4-1

Broncos - W
Colts - W
Packers - W
Chargers - L
Lions - W

Obviously I'm bias on the broncos there.

You are the worst. Remember the first few weeks of the season? Pats have looked awful too.

They haven't looked awful in a month. Just about the same timeframe the Bengals were relevant

Sitting on top of the best division in football is pretty relevant.

Is this proof that they're mediocre or? 4-2-1 and on top by default.

Bengals fan life, happy to be almost-good

You do realize that if the Bengals beat Jacksonville next week (almost a certainty) and the Pats lose to the Broncos, the Bengals will be ahead of the Pats for 2nd seed in the AFC? Yeah, totally irrelevant.

It's kind of surprising how bad the NFC South is this year so far. Not a single winning record to be seen. Might get another 7-9 division leader in the Playoffs at this rate.

Right, when the bengals get bounced in their 1st playoff appearance because they're not a very good team their temporary divisional ranking will mean a lot

That's how you recognize an elite team, right?

I'm as happy as any Pats fan with the form the team is showing the last 3 games, but it's still a long season and every game is different. Sure I'll hope the hot streak will last until February 2nd 2015, but that's not realistic.

if you think this is a hot streak, then you haven't been watching a lot of patriots games the past 15 years. this is a very good team in all facets. they can and should win most games the way they beat the bears and bengals.

the broncos can and should win most games like that as well.

Also any Bengals fan who says the Steelers aren't the best team in their division after last night is a liar

The Steelers gave the Bucs their only win of the season. You have to work for ESPN. Every team is as good as they played in the most recent week.
