| Man those Dallas Cowboys looked bad in yesterday's opening game. They didn't convert a 3rd-down until the 2nd-half. Zeke only had 15 carriers, but all Teams will try and stop the 'Boys running game this season, because we can't throw the ball. Dak couldn't hit me with a pass, so this is going to be a long season. | |

| Didn't watch the Cowboys. Watched some of Steelers Browns. Left the bar thinking the Steelers had it. But no! Neither team played substantially well but I call it a net win for the Browns. As for the Cowboys they should beat the Giants next week. | |

OR start off in gear, and later suck for 3 games in a row. | |

Speaking of NO, is their defense going to return to its usual self this year? Last year they made such strides, and everyone started talking SB again (including me). Then it was another 80+ point special last week, with the Saints on the losing end. Can't they get it together on D? | |

| I think NO's D will pull it together again this year. The fluff papers are still saying they have two "impact rookies" on D, who need a little time to adjust to the speed of the game, etc. It's difficult to accurately predict, honestly, with as little as i've really watched the last several seasons. Baseball and basketball have really been getting a lot more of my attention. The Saints put my eyes on the screen a bit more last year than the few years before that, during which i rarely saw them outside the PrimeTime games.
But from what i have seen, i expect the Saints' D to improve a lot over the course of the season. I wouldn't be too surprised to see some peaks and valleys in their play. I think they'll be somewhat unpredictable for opposing offensive coordinators, which is something of a double-edged sword, but it's a hell of a lot better than a dull rusty sword.
How are you feeling about those Pats, Peggy Sawyer? Thinking Ringkings? | |

| I'm pretty confident this year. The defense looked solid in the opener. The OL is unproven, but I trust Scarnecchia to make something serviceable out of it. The wideouts are a concern, but at least Edelman will be back on week 5. If we stay healthy, we should have a strong year, especially in this division. | |

| So... in news relating to other teams...
The Saints beat the Browns, but not exactly comfortably. And, um, it's the Browns. A win is a win in this league though. But still, the Browns gave us a game. Not exactly brushing shoulders off after that win.
A loss is a loss too. Those Jags looked MIGHTY convincing. | |

Jerry mentioned today, in his weekly radio broadcast... "The Cowboys haven't had a #1 Receiver in several years." Just damn! My 'Boys are so bad, it's tough watching them on a weekly basis. Add to that, the Head Coach has no huevos to try and keep the team in games. Damn Cowboys! Damn Jason Garrett! | |

| The Dallas Cowboys acquire Amari Cooper from the Oakland Raiders. The price...a first-round pick in the 2019 draft.
I guess its a good pickup. At least it'll give us Cowboys fans a chance to see if Dak Prescott is the future of the franchise. | |

Can't believe they're the favorite as well. Oh, wait a minute! They're on the road, plus this week they're scheduled to win. | |

| Going back to the Cooper deal...Not sure I like the price paid. What I said when Dak and Zeek were rookies, that great O-line, the best in the NFL, and guys like Witten, Dez, other skilled veterans to throw to, Zeek to hand the ball to, the NFL was an easy life for Dak Prescott. But what was going to happen when that line thinned out, Witten and Bryant retired, etc, I asked as I watched Russell Wilson dodge oncoming rushers like he was playing football on I-5. I think it is indicative of just how much Tony Romo was damaged goods that he could get to a Super Bowl surrounded by all that talent. Not Elliott of course, but he had solid RBs too.
Cooper giving Dak a nice veteran target is a great storyline, but I don't seem to recall his name getting mentioned much a couple of weeks ago when the Seahawks and Raiders played at Wembley. Might have had something to do with the fact that Carr was under so much pressure that 90% of his attempts were to 3 yards or less downfield. | |

| TBC, Cooper didn't look bad in last night's game. It was the other 45 players you bring to a game that sucked. I'm going to put this out there...I don't think Dak is a franchise-QB. JMO! He missed to many throws in the game, and turned it over twice. He now leads the League in QB turnovers. It was a truly disappointing game. Especially against a team with the same record. | |

| Um. The Brock Osweiler comparison is getting grimmer and grimmer. The 'Boys violated their "win one lose one" quest for mediocrity, Hodge. I'm sorry to see it, too. The next couple games don't look to offer them a lot of opportunity to get back to .500 either. I saw a rumor today that Dez Bryant is in talks with the Saints. | |

...They loose a game they should've won against the Titans, then win one against the reining Super Bowl Champions. And, as you mention, they go against their loose-one/win-one MO. Needless to say, I picked them to loose against the Eagles. It was so easy win they were predictable. - His Royal Dorkness wrote:

In their demolishing of the Bengals, I noticed the recipient of the TD threw-up the X-sign as a shout out to Dez. I thought that was a nice jesture. | |

| Did Sunday night's game show us that the Philly Eagles are a worst team than the Cowboys?
I thought the 'Boys "D" played an excellent game. Although, they only sacked Wentz twice, they harassed him on a consistent basis.
Then, the Offense decided they'd play a much better game then we've seen throughout most of the season. Plus, Zeke ran off 151 yards. Something he's found hard to do. | |

They looked pretty good, HRD! But, as I mentioned in another post, the Saints are the "Best" Team in the League. I've suspected their Defense, but "it" has come thru over the last couple of weeks. Personally, I think Brees has taken over the lead in the MVP race. Plus, the League likes to give it to all-around great guy too. | |

| I've heard it said that a happy wife makes for a happy life. So peace reigns in Casa De Mo.
Obviously, i'm not thrilled that the Saints lost this week. I earnestly hope that they recover from this loss, and learn from it. I also earnestly hope that there's not a postseason rematch this year. Sometimes a good team needs a loss in the second half of the season to remind them that they're human and that they play in the "Any Given Sunday" NFL; hopefully last night's game was that wake-up call that the Saints need to remind them what it takes to consistently win in that man's League.
With that said, congratulations to the Dallas Cowboys and their organization and fans on a hard fought and well earned win. The Cowboys' defensive unit has truly coalesced and in my opinion has been playing at a level equal to the best defenses currently in the league. | |

This was the debate on "sports-radio" this morning, will this be a wake-up call for the Saints. I'm more worried that the 'Boys gave a recipe to the rest of the League on how to defeat New Orleans. Make no doubt about it, I don't believe Dallas is a Super Bowl team. Yet! So, I'm still pulling for the Saints to make it all the way. But, that "way" has to lead thru the Superdome. Obviously, every team is better at home, but this is more obvious for the Saints. - His Royal Dorkness wrote:

This maybe the best "front-seven" in football. But, our LBs, Jaylon Smith and Van Der Esch, are unquestionably the best tandem at the position. | |

I'm a little disappointed in the Saints right now. If they had won then that that result coupled with the Seahawks probable demolition of the yet-again-miserable 49ers would have put the Hawks in the driver's seat for the top wild card spot regardless of any other results. It's still going to take a loss by the Skins to accomplish that, but they are playing the Giants and I don't want to make any predictions there. | |

Plus, with the Eagles win last night against the 'Skins, puts the 'Boys 1 full game up in the Division. So, I'm thinking, even if we loose Sunday, the Eagles still have to play the Rams.

It would suit me like an expensive suit. What a great game! The game was under control until Dak's miscues gave the Eagles life. If he could just hold onto the ball. I don't care that muck about the INTs. Those come with the territory. But, the fumble turnovers. I scream bloody murder when those happen. Man, was the trade for Amari Cooper worth it! Over 200+ yards in the game, plus 3-TDs. You can't ask much more from the guy. | |

Okay, so if the Seahawks win tonight and then again next Sunday at Leave Early, Guys (aka CenturyLink South, their home away from home where they have never lost) they will clinch a Wild Card with two weeks remaining and be more than likely headed for a Wild Card Game tilt against the Cowboys. | |

| Objective the first accomplished, but what a strange game. With 4 minutes left it was Seahawks 6 Vikings 0, the final score was 21-7
So here's the skinny on why the Seahawks can clinch a Wild Card spot with a win at San Francisco on Sunday. They are now at 8-5, which is not bad given that they lost their first two games. There are four teams still "in the hunt" at 6-7: Carolina, Green Bay, Washington, and Philadelphia. The Seahawks have beaten the first two. Next tiebreaker is division record. Seahawks are currently 7-3 in the NFC, Eagles are 4-6, Skins are 6-5. Keep in mind that there are 12 division games for each team, so Seahawks own the tiebreaker there vs the Eagles and one more division win (or Redskins loss) will lock the last one. | |

| You know TBC, I picked the Vikings in that game. The Seahawks have a much better run game then was advertised. Or, has the Vikings "D" loss its punch in 1 season? Speaking of Defense. Man, Cousins was running for his life throughout the game. Theilen (spl) is a superb receiver, but I don't remember him having multiple catches in the game. I will admit, I agree with Zimmer about the lack of a commitment to the run-game. He took it to an extreme and fired the OC. | |

| Nothing wrong with the Vikings' D. Seahawks should have been up 21-0 by the half. Or at least 17-0. Credit the Vikes defense for keeping it to a field goal. As for the run game, the season started with a pair of losses at teams with navy blue and orange color schemes, Brian Schottenheimer went to Pete Carroll and said "I really think ought to try a little harder to commit to running the ball.", since then the team is 8-3 with two of those losses coming against the Rams and the other against the Chargers by a combined total of 15 points.
This is still leaving people to ask whether the Seahawks are capable of beating a good team. Well, in three of the losses they have had to overcome shooting themselves in the foot in drives that would have put them in the lead late in the fourth quarter, turning the ball over in their own end leading to a seeming clinching score. The managed to score quickly in all three games, in one the on-side kick was an abysmal failure, in the other two they lost after regaining possession. The 8 point loss against the Chargers is so far the greatest margin of defeat this season. If you can play the good teams close then you can beat the good teams, simple as that. | |

When I say "catch fire," I mean actual flames from hell finally breaking through and consuming Snyder and his henchmen right there on the field, which could help Seattle in the long run. Maturin, I know you're being factitious, but Sanchez looked so bad in the 'Skins last game, he was benched. And, don't get me started on Snyder. I am being serious -- DC *must* be planning a no-quarterback offense, based on the fact that no one here seems to know how to do even basic qb things. And I apologize for bringing the S word into a civilized discussion. It's just so frustrating watching him ruin this team. But my main point was that Seattle (and the rest of the NFL) probably shouldn't worry too much about Washington winning anything for the next year or so. | |

| It's gotta be frustrating. D.C. hasn't won a playoff game since 2005 when Gibbs was in his second stint as HC, and including their loss in the next week, they've been 0-4 in the playoffs since. That was their only playoff win this millenium. Over the last several years, they've looked poised to break through a few times; they won the division a couple of times but then slumped the following year, and this was supposed to be a rebound year. A lot of folks had them pencilled in to win the division again this year, right up until they started losing quarterbacks.
New Orleans has three quarterbacks (*knocks on wood*). Maybe we can work out a trade in the off-season; the Saints will likely need more draft picks in the years to come. | |

| Yeah, sorry about my team ruining that kid from Baylor. And after the 'Skins traded away all those draft picks for him, even. Well, the consolation is that Fissure couldn't get a single good player from any of those picks. Meanwhile, I am hoping the 'Boys can keep the solid form going and pass the Bears for the #3 seed. A win by the Seahawks today not only locks up the post-season, it comes close to locking up the first Wild Card spot, as they will have the tie-breaker on everybody. Check off the boxes Seahawks lining up vs the Bears compared to vs the 'Boys, who would we rather face, it's no question. Solid defense, iffy second year QB with some good promise, just meh running game, or pretty good defense, nice second year QB and good running game behind an O-line that isn't what it once was. You take the team with the solid defense and make it a slug-fest. | |
