    Ravens probably the best team in the NFL right now. They're a matchup nightmare for the Pats. I think any traditional offense will struggle vs the Pats defense, because of how good their secondary and pass rush are. But any QB who runs a similar offense to the Ravens (Seahawks, Ravens, Houston, etc, maybe Dallas) will give the Pats trouble.

    As far as Brady? He doesn't trust Newhouse at Left Tackle. I honestly think Newhouse is the worst lineman ever, dude can't block for s---. Thank God we're getting Wynn back this week. The offensive line is a mess without Andrews (who isn't coming back) and Wynn. Also, the tight end position has really killed them, just from a blocking standpoint. No running back can get to the edge now.

    I still think Pats are a top 5 team, and will obviously be in contention for a Super Bowl, but they have glaring holes right now.

    Dallas offense is going to be a tough task for y’all unless Jason Garrett tries to mimic the Ravens game plan. Dak/Cooper/Gallup have just been studs this season.

    I want to pick Dallas this week really bad. They have a better overall offense for sure. It’s just Dak couldn’t step up and beat a good team, yet this season. Losing to Teddy Bridgwater and the Jets. I’m just not sold enough on Dak taking the next step up. Great regular season qb this year? Yes. But him actually facing competition in the playoffs, I still don’t see him as a playoff caliber qb. This is his year to prove me wrong. And with Dak’s stats this year, if he keeps it up, Dallas is going to probably have to pay him close to what he wants.

    This would be horrible to do. Belichick literally studies games he loses for nights barely sleeping he said in a past interview. Dak won’t be able to just throw to Cooper mainly with patriots putting Gilmore on him. The cowboys need Zeke to pull off a surprise game and also have a running game going to beat the patriots. I think Gallup could be a huge threat to the pats along with Randall. It’ll be hard to cover all of them.

    also I did laugh and thought of you bitching about paying Zeke all that money, on a fantasy site every Zeke owner was bitching about him and they weren’t even good enough trade bait for him. They may vote him for the most overrated rb of the year when the fantasy season is over. Do you play fantasy football btw?

    @Sign Language vs. @BlueWorldOrder

    Texans vs Colts tomorrow in a very important game seeing as one of these teams will likely win the division

    Can Houston bounce back from last weeks rough game? Will Jacoby continue to impress seeing as he was inserted into the lineup on such a short notice? Who wins? Thoughts?

    Yeah I don't know why TY always goes off against yall. Wonder if maybe Houston told TY they were gonna draft him earlier in the draft and TY just held a grudge that they didn't and TY just plays extra hard cause of it.

    So the sport analysts on tv claim that got some intel from ties with the cowboy administration. They’re saying if Dak beats the patriots, the cowboys are going to pay him. If he loses the game, they’re going to just franchise tag him and not pay him what he wants because he can’t beat a good team. This is just breaking news. What’s your thought about it @Enigma I do see the cowboys point of view. However, if Dak gets extremely angry over being franchised tagged, I’d probably still try and work out a deal with him. You don’t want tension with your starting qb. And some are backing up the franchise tag, saying Dak is trying to throw the h--- out of the ball to get paid like a top QB. “If he does get 40 million, is Dak going to try and continue playing as hard as this year, we doubt it” That’s the words from Fox Analysts atm.

    @Enigma and @KnobodyKnows vs. @redsoxx and @Fitzy

    Cowboys vs. Patriots

    Will Pats offense get back on track? Can the Cowboys win in Foxboro where few teams do? Who wins this one? Thoughts?

    This is the typical game where everyone doubts the patriots and then they come out and blow the other team out

    f--- it I’m going with the cowboys this week. The patriots don’t play tough teams all season and when they play someone semi good it’s only a 1TD score. Patriots don’t have the offensive power the cowboys do. Or Dak shows his true side against a good defense and becomes a pick machine this week which is what worries me. I think as long as Elliot can also run defense against the pats, Dallas will win. Brady is struggling to even score td’s.

    We’ll probably lose because Garrett cannot be trusted in big games. Like I said earlier in the week, Garrett is going to watch how the Ravens beat the Pats & attempt to mimic that game plan. Would not shock me to see Zeke get the ball 20+ times Sunday. It’s likely going to fail miserably. The question is: how quickly will they abandon that game plan & move to letting Dak throw? How deep of a hole will we have put ourselves in at that point? Who knows...

    If by some miracle, we do come out aggressive & attack the Patriots D through the air, we have a shot. Patriots D, secondary in particular, is very good so Dak throwing an int or two wouldn’t surprise me. Even if that happens, nothing about the Patriots offense has particularly impressed me this season. Their offense as a whole has been pretty average so far. I don’t trust the Cowboys defense but this is one of the better match ups for them. If the offense can jump out to a fast start (something they’ve struggled to do all season) & we get like a 14+ lead on NE—I don’t think their offense is good enough to dig them out of that hole.

    Yeah but you know patriots have the best secondary. If Zeke is getting positive runs. You have to agree on them running the ball more. Now if Zeke is running like s---, yeah I agree to mostly pass. Dak is known to struggle against a good team. He’s not throwing all over the patriots. They’ll have to split it up. But with how good Gallup is doing I think he’ll be a major threat to the pats plus Randall can run some sneak routes and get some passes. Too bad Dallas didn’t have an elite TE. Their offense would definitely be dangerous then. I’m still saying the Cowboys win, because some teams they lost to are way better than the patriots who are struggling to score. And then Dak gets paid sometime soon during the next week or 2 after this game.

    I won all the games last week. I’m seriously a professional sport analysts for the nfl and info on penguins and s-----y pirates. But not professional for the mlb or hockey. And like usually twice a month a sports station lets me do the start em or sit em fantasy players. I don’t live in a huge area, but you can get this station in Pittsburgh. An old history professor I had runs a pretty big radio station and I finished top 100, out of 10k people in a playoffs fantasy like league. I was one player away from finishing in the top 10. If I went with DeVante Adams instead of who I picked back then for a WR, I would have been in the top 5. I gained recognition after that, since I was the first person in my county to ever come that close in a fantasy league with 10k members.

    If anyone wants to try this out for the playoffs lmk. It’s like $105 for a team. I’m doing it this year because I believe the packers are going to the Super Bowl and Ravens. Taking Lamar as my QB, Adams for my WR. Probably the pats defense. A wild card team kicker. I gotta study for the rest.

    Come the f--- on Odell. Please get me at least 15 points for once against the s-----y dolphins. Man I’ve never seen a WR fall off as bad as Odell did. Ik Baker is s-----y, but against the dolphins he’s throwing decent and Odell needs to come through with catches and quit dropping passes. @TimmyT was still raving about how Odell is the best WR pre season. Then once the season started I’ve never seen him even post anything good about Odell lmao

    Take that post down @Boos it’s too offensive for sxn80. This isn’t sl where you could do that s---. And now you know I was right when I said Wentz might be decent against s-----y teams, but he’s no Kirk Cousins. This season proved Kirk is the better overall qb. However, I was trolled by Wentz tbh. I thought maybe he’d break out this year making him one of the future elite qb’s. Sucks that he isn’t because I drafted him in several leagues. Maybe give him a better receiver next year plus having Ertz to throw to. I’m not giving up on Wentz yet.
