    Im waiting on that coming back to earth game for the Eagles since they have come out on fire this year but I don't think this will be the game. Going to be bad weather which could keep it lower scoring but plays to the strength of our team anyway. I do like what Jacksonville has been able to do so far this year too. I think they are showing a ton of potential.

    Of course Wilson looked like Mahomes the last minute of the game, darting passes downfield. But please at least stick with Pickett or Mason. I’ve never seen a qb as bad as Trubisky tbh. He won’t throw more than 3-4 yards at a time. Tomlin finally pulled him after only getting 3 points against the f---ing jets. And going to pretend Pickett’s int’s never happened.

    @Enigma Skip has a lot of confidence in Cooper Rush. he didn't straight up say that Cooper is better than Dak, but he did say that Cooper has been playing better than Dak as of late. even before Dak got hurt, he didn't play well vs. Tampa. and not just that one game, but also going back to games last year in which he didn't perform well. Skip basically wants you guys to keep playing the hot hand (cooper).

    you are about to get your wish. steelers are starting pickett on sunday versus the bills. tomlin has never had a losing season since he became the head coach in pittsburgh but this will probably be the year it finally happens. ain't no shame in that. he's been there since like 2007. i still remember when tomlin was on the vikings as a defensive coordinator. :)

    speaking of that, bills vs. steelers AKA @Detroit24 vs. @dna hits who wins this one? thoughts?

    Cooper Rush is playing himself into a starting job....somewhere else...since they paid Dak lol

    i expect the bills to get a comfortable win. Pitt losing watt to injury is huge...I don’t think their the same D without him...not sure what to expect with Pickett...almost feel trubisky would be better since he was backup qb last year for the bills...

    Kenny Pickett against this bills d and pass rush will really throw him into the wolves with top D...

    The bills will probably win this one. However, it’s the only year I can remember picking the bills against them. I think the Steelers o-line is just too bad to be consistently good at anything on offense.

    Enigma is a big Skip fan on cowboy takes. Curious on his opinion, even though I know it’ll be a terrible opinion. Cooper may look half a--- against trash teams. He’s about to get his a--- beat.

    Skip Bayless is also a fucken idiot so there’s that too. Cooper Rush has played as well as you could expect from a back up QB. He’s had one great game (vs the Giants) but the rest of them he’s basically just been playing bus driver. He avoids mistakes (though he got lucky last week with 2 ints being overturned by penalties) & will make 1 or 2 big throws down the field. Cowboys have been able to win like this because the defense has been balling out but it’s not sustainable. The offense hasn’t been “good” but it’s been “good enough” to beat some of these struggling teams. Dak is head & shoulders a better QB than Cooper Rush, anyone suggesting otherwise is clueless.

    Russel Wilson must have a contract stipulation or have concussion symptoms...he says broncos country...let’s ride...whether they get blown out or lose a close one....he must get paid or he’s losing his marbles

    @Enigma i strongly agree with what you said. cooper has played well but the lion's share of the credit should go to the cowboys' defense. i also agree that the offense has to be better if you guys expect to go far this season.

    as far as the dak vs cooper thing, it's hard to even compare because one guy has obviously played a lot more games than the other guy. but even if dak never got hurt versus tampa, i think it's clear he hasn't played good enough. just cause i'm curious...why don't you like skip?

    @Detroit24 i totally agree with you. its football so anything can happen, but the bills will likely beat pittsburgh by at least a few scores.

    @Inbred hillbilly you should post more often in this thread. Hackett has definitely made some questionable calls and not just in that game versus the colts but other games as well. but russell wilson has not looked good either. i think its too early to hit the panic button, but so far russell wilson doesn't look like the same guy we saw in seattle for all those years

    They’re not playing Dak against the Rams so when the cowboys lose, they can blame it on a backup qb. I’m not convinced Dak could have beat the Giants. The big blue is back. Dak is terrible playing from behind relying on him for a final drive. And Enigma is a Skip Bayless fan, he just won’t admit it. A lot of his cowboy arguments come from whatever Skip says on his show.

    Gotta respect the Packers fans. Can't move round where I live because of a sea of 10's of thousands of Packers fans. Nice bunch of people as well.

    Wish I had tickets.

    I don’t think anyone is denying Dak didn’t play well vs Tampa Bay. It was arguably the worst game of his career. That being said—it’s 1 game; and Dak has played at a top 10 QB level for most of the past 3 seasons.

    Skip is a persona; an entertainer. He says things to create controversy. He doesn’t actually know football.

    Cowboys are 9-2 vs the Giants with Dak as a starter.
