    Cowboys have allowed 20+ points in the first half in 6 straight games. First team in NFL history to do that. Wow.

    sources say cowboys defensive end everson griffin is headed from the cowboys to the lions. i guess griffin didn't work out in the cowboys system because he's obviously been a very productive player in the league. we'll see if he can do anything in detroit

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    @The Product and @Boos vs. @KnobodyKnows and @Enigma

    Eagles vs. Cowboys

    the cowboys may be without dalton...can they win with ben dunnichi? will the cowboys continue to give up a boat load of points? can wentz lead the eagles to another win and get a stronger lead on the divison? who wins this one? thoughts?


    @Tom Brady vs. @Detroit24

    Patriots vs. Bills

    can cam get back on track or will the bills tough defense be too much for him? can josh allen muster enough points to overcome that stingy pats secondary? who wins this one? thoughts?

    I still have a little faith for salvaging the season for the Pats. 9-7 could get it done. If you can take down a Buffalo, you have NY the next game; very ample opportunity to get back to .500. Cam really has to get back into the swing of things here. This has been a very important 3 week stretch, and they absolutely puked all over themselves the first week. Let’s see how it goes.

    If the Eagles don’t beat the s--- out of us with a rookie 7th round QB starting, I’m gonna be so pissed.

    the pats look terrible the last few weeks but I can’t count out Belichek to come up with a good gameplan to disrupt Josh Allen...Bills haven’t looked good last few weeks but I think we are more talented than Pats this year...should win a close one...don’t think it will be easy...

    28-24 Bills

    This is how I feel as well. Not just because of losing to the cowboys but because this division literally can't seem to do anything right. How do you feel about Elliot only maxing at 45 yards a game? RB is one of my favorite positions but o-lines are grossly underrated in the success of some of these dudes.

    I still support Wentz. I think he has been much worse than expected in terms of accuracy and decision making at times but at other times he makes throws that are reminiscent of 2017. I think Doug and staff pushed getting the ball down the field with all the speed we were bringing on and it has negatively impacted the offense. The defense is solid as always on the line but one of the least aggressive defenses under Shwartz. I hope for a blowout but I imagine this one being close. Expecting the eagles to pull it off though

    That last sentence is an understatement. RB production is entirely reliant on 3 things: run blocks, scheme & box count. All these guys, even the best RBs, are largely replaceable. Sure, CMC may provide extra production in the passing game & may even be a more explosive runner but when it comes to scoring points or wins/losses, he doesn’t contribute much. That’s not a knock on him, incredible player, it’s just the reality of the position he plays. I mean look how good Carolina has looked when he was hurt.

    I’ve said before, Zeke is a good to really good RB. He’s having a bad year. Under Jason Garrett we forced him the ball way too much & it really hurt our team. Kellen Moore has done a fairly good job at not forcing Zeke touches but he does fall into the bad habit some times & it’s frustrating. You’re definitely seeing it more since Dak got hurt but we can’t pass the ball either with this O-Line so...it’s tough.

    Wentz out there leading game winning drives with two undrafted guards, a LT who never played football until three years ago, and a late round pick at RT

    Hoping the Texans can trade Fuller and Watt for some decent draft picks. Will Fuller is good when he’s healthy but that’s rare. Watt seems like he’s fed up being in Houston. We should trade him to a team that gives him a shot at a ring. Either that or trade him to Green Bay or Chicago or Pittsburgh so he can be closer to his family.

    Whole team needs rebuilding smh

    Y’all are absolutely f----- on assets. I feel like you have to make those trades to recoup some of the draft picks BOB gave away for nothing, but I feel like neither will happen. Maybe Fuller. I feel like the only thing at the moment that makes you an attractive destination to a future top echelon head coaching hire is Watson. Without any draft capital right now, idk who might want to go there or not

    Meant to respond to this when you posted it.

    Yeah we’re never going to get those picks back. Only way we could is trading Watson while having a smart gm. I’m not entirely opposed to that idea. Dude is too good to waste his career in Houston. Hated seeing Andre Johnson get more and more visibly frustrated over the years. Watt wasted his career here also. Back to the main point.

    I honestly think we may need to just go nuclear and go into full-blown rebuilding mode for a few seasons (after Miami uses all of our draft picks smfh). Make trades to get as much back as possible. I’m sure if you shop Watson around you could get some first round picks easily. h--- maybe New England would want him. @Tom Brady how would you feel about hypothetically having Watson for qb?

    How do you feel about Wentz currently, Boos?

    cook was obviously great with the 4 TDs he scored today. that TD he scored on the screen pass was so exciting. but our defense stepping up was what really surprised me. a lot of our guys are young, unproven players. but they had a good day today especially given who they were up against (rodgers)
