Dallas is going to lose next week, entirely due to the injuries they have. With all of their horses in the stable? Eagles get worked. Hell, they still might since the Dallas D is a lot more competent than that of the Falcons. Chip is going to have to start taking a more balanced approach if he wants to coach long term. You can't plan your entire game around outscoring the other team, especially with Captain Glass Jaw Checkdown as your starting QB. Believe me, as a Packers fan I know this to be true and we had Rogers in seasons where our D was criminally neglected. Luckily, they get to play both the South divisions this year, in addition to four games against the Gmen and Deadskins, so odds are they will at least reach 500 and maybe sneak in to the playoffs.
Vikings, oh my god, I thought they were going to be our hardest competition in the NFC North, but they have systemic problems on both sides of the ball. Until that line actually heals up, they should feed Old Nut Duster the ball and get their money's worth out of him. People have tape on Bridgewater and the line is non existent, so trying to make him replicate the tail end of last season is going to get him killed. And the Defense, holy shit, I don't even know if that is fixable. That secondary is going to get lit up week in and week out unless they start getting some decent play out of their corners.
Falcons looked decent, but no clue if that's just because LOL Eagles or if they actually improved on D. Maybe a little of both? I see them competing with the Panthers for the coveted 8-8 division winning record in the NFC South, but probably not winning it. Last night's game may be huge down the road if they get into WC tie breakers with the Eagles, however. They do seem to be one of the most balanced teams, if not great. No huge strengths, but no big weaknesses either. Well, aside from a complete lack of underneath coverage.
Actually a fairly good week one, with not many blowouts and only two completely unwatchable games. My biggest takeaway is that while the Fins and Jets have some serious question marks, the AFC East is the strongest division in football right now. The Asterisks are going to have to cheat even more to get their free wins this year. I like my teams chances, but even with the Roidhawks getting trolled by the Rams (again), I don't think we make it past them, especially without Jordy. If they stop playing down to shitty teams, this might be the Cowboys year after all.

Pretty sure if we just took any Brosyar post from last year and swapped the words "Cutler", "Chicago", and "Bears" with "Romo", "Dallas", and "Boys" no one would even notice.

Actually it's "Murray", "Philly", "Iggles" but otherwise pretty much this. I would add that the parallels between comrade Araysar's trolling for Prometheus and your trolling for Pantheon are eerily similar, but apparently you are stupid or naive enough to think that the Vicodin Kid is going to save the MMO genre by purchasing stock assets from the Unity store.

Well, I did say that was the winning touchdown before I decided I liked sleep better than week 1 sloppy football. "Special" teams and penalties, whoo.
Hyde coming out as a beast should be a surprise to nobody. They just took Gore and de-aged him by a decade. Some called him the steal of the draft last year. I'm more impressed that Davis managed to catch 3 passes and herpes in the same game. Last year he would have dropped at least 20 to reach that mark.
The one thing we all got terribly wrong was Peterson did not slap around the children on the 49ers defense. Christ, half those guys still need directions to find the stadium. I think they made up for it by locking Bowman in a cage and feeding him the whip all week. That will only work for so long.
They aren't as good as the Vikes made them look (2nd year QB skerred of the blitz) but the quest for six (wins) is looking up.

Did you actually read what I wrote? I said they did fine without Dez and I expect them to be fine without him this week too. Yeah, it sucks to lose him, he's a guy teams have to shadow with a safety over the top. This leaves other people open. Dallas won't have that this week. But... they didn't have it in the 4th quarter on Sunday either.
Re: Falcon's defense. It's hard not to improve from worst in the league.

So you're just referring to my push back against arguments being made by Cowboy fans that I don't necessarily agree with. You're reaching dude, It's called a rivalry for a reason. I don't agree with the Murray comments or that Dallas is the best team in the division once the smoke clears. And yes, I'd like Dallas's chances more next week had they still had Murray on their team.. You wouldnt?
Why do you faggs keep bringing Pantheon up in here? It's weird you can't separate threads. It's going to be such a mind fuck for you guys when you're wrong about that project.

Giants defense is pathetic, especially against the no-huddle.
Not that the Eagles are worldbeaters but. You get my point. TEs and RBs will have a field day against NY, so I suggest anyone and everyone to start any TE/RB(receiving) who plays NYG.

The 49ers will find out how good they really are on defense next week. Sure, the Steelers don't have Bell or Bryant, but if Brown/The Berger can't make the 49ers look like buffoons, I think that will mathematically eliminate all other teams from playoff contention and you can book the 49ers as your 2015 Super Bowl Champs.

You're a big homer dude. About everything you get into. You're far easier to get along with about it than most people, but still a homer.

Gotta ride for yours! But you can sum up my posting in this thread with I think Murray is a better player than Dallas fans are willing to admit and that Dallas as a team is not as good as some of the posters here think. I'm not being a homer with those comments. I just think they are true lol

Would you have this same opinion about Murray had he gone to say, the Giants? My guess is you wouldn't. Now you probably can't admit that to yourself, but that's where I think things stand.

To put it mildly, when it mattered most Romo went 24 yards, 16 yards, 13 yards, incomplete, 8 yards, 11 yard TD.
When Bradford had about the same amount of time to drive down, and only needing a field goal to win versus a TD, he went 2 yards, incomplete, interception.
Romo > Bradford.

How does my post suggest I'm mad? Are you mentally retarded?
If you think Dez missing time doesn't hurt the Cowboys... I literally have nothing to say to you. It's pointless.

Can't argue that. Romo brought it that drive. I'm certainly not sayin bradford is better than romo. Bradford has accomplished nothing.
Yea, Murray would be a great addition for any team. My issue right now is chip is using him out of the gun. I don't agree with that approach.
