Itll matter again when Uptown is filled with a bunch of obnoxious fat asses in green and white sweat stained jerseys on Sunday morning

My barber in uptown is a Cowboys fan (of course right?) on Saturday he felt good because he said if both teams played their best games then the Cowboys would win. It was hard for me to argue yesterday i felt like the Cowboys played about as close to a perfect game as possible. Dak didnt get sacked one time, he got the ball out quick and I dont remember him missing a throw. Zeke and Pollard had tons of room to run it felt like every play. No turnovers, no back breaking penalties, and they got after Sam on the other hand while we did some good things on offense, we also had 2 killer INTs by Sam - one was a TD if he throws to Marshall instead and the other swung all the momentum in the game and felt like a killshot. The missed field goal and the terrible call on the Chinn fumble were 2 huge bad breaks I think as fans we get too emotional and passionate and assume the strengths of our team should always work in our favor and forget the other team has its own strengths as well and get paid to play just like our guys do. It’s also dumb to bring up injuries because Lawrence, Collins and Gallup are significant missing pieces for them as well THAT ALL BEING SAID. I came away pretty optimistic about the rest of our season after yesterday. I felt like we got every bad break and felt like Dallas played their A game while we played our C game and it was still a tight game. 3rd quarter was a disaster but every other quarter we either tied or outscored them and when you look at the box score the yards and first downs were about even and we controlled the time of possession. Those looked like 2 evenly matched teams and one team got all the good breaks and we were the ones that made too many mistakes which is why we lost. At no point did I feel like we were overmatched and thats one of the more talented teams in the league. compare that to last season where we had to play our A game and good teams had to play a C game for it to be close like the Packers or Chiefs games

Exactly. Happens all the time. Guy is on shitty team and looks checked out then goes to a contender and all of a sudden hes been revived

Dak is an elite QB and Cooper and Lamb are a great tandem. The OLine is not the dominant OLine theyve had in the past and Zeke is a shell of himself. On defense they have some big names but they do not play very well as a whole

They spent the last 3 years maxing out their salary cap and putting all their eggs into a 40 year old QB while we spent the last 2 offseasons stacking our defense with Avengers characters. The next decade will be ugly. Our oldest core player is Shaq and he’s 27 lol

Because they have a delusional fanbase that thinks their program’s past makes them still an elite program, like Michigan Football and Indiana Basketball fans and that any coach that wouldnt come crawling to them is a fool they dont have the resources teams like Bama, Ohio State, Oregon, Texas etc have and the whole “recruiting hotbed” argument is moot because all of the elite programs these days recruit nationally anyways

The job and being in LA isnt what people wanna make it out to be. Their stadium is ancient, facilities are not on par with SEC and Texas programs, and no matter how good USC is theyre always gonna be at best the number 3 show in town behind the Lakers and Dodgers, compared to places like Bama, Clemson, Ohio State where the entire area code revolves around the football team. Not to mention the campus is about 1 or 2 wrong bus stops away from being in Compton

Its something to consider to that CMC has such a great skillset as a receiver that even if he cant be a bellcow for more than 3 more years you can easily move him to the slot full time and he spends the next 5 years as a Wes Welker or you move him around like we used Curtis Samuel where he lines up in the backfield sometimes. I truly do think we’ll get a solid 10 years out of him. He’s basically only played 3 full seasons because his rookie year he really wasnt on the field much and last year only got 3 games. 2018 he also had Cam taking alot of the punishment. So really at this point 2019 is the only season where he really had to carry the offense

Hes getting touches but its not like hes getting used as a battering ram 30 times a game like Derrick Henry. I think getting like 15 carries and 10 catches out of the backfield per game is pretty healthy workload. As someone said his catches are in the open field and hes not having 300lb falling on him

The pregame lineups! what in the actual hell looked like they had never gone over it before. Players getting introduced while still in the tunnel and out of order. The comms person with the headset looked like she was scrambling like crazy

I really didnt have an issue with it. Up to that point the Jets had run 9 plays and including penalties had a net of negative 16 yards and hadnt even made it to their 40 yard line. Why risk an unknown kicker missing and giving the Jets field position they otherwise wouldnt get on their own? When we played the Chiefs last year we saw Rhule pull out every imaginable risk with fake punts and 4th down attempts because he knew we would need to score at least 30 points to win. Yesterday he probably knew 17 should have been enough. We complained that Rivera had no situational awareness and would have the same gameplan and approach for every team we played yet were getting pissed at Rhule for actually understanding the situation?

We played a team that had zero chance of beating us straight up. When thats the matchup you play conservative and try not to beat yourself with unforced turnovers. This game was never in doubt and it was like 2 plays from being 27-7. Just be happy with the win and hope we bring it against NO next week

Theyre gonna double Olsen and keep Cam in the pocket

Its not as uncommon for NFL players to dip as you might think. Alot of them do it just to simply stay awake during meetings

Were really trying to draw conclusions from a preseason game where our QB1 threw one pass and our running back that accounts for like 70% of our offense is on the sideline with a backwards hat the whole time lol the only logical conclusions you can make is that Slye is not the man for the job and Brady’s red zone playcalling is concerning

Im not a GM but Ill never understand how teams seem to not value the position in the draft. If someone like Justin Tucker was available and you picked him in the 4th round wouldnt you do it knowing your worries at the position are gone for the next decade? Versus maybe getting a backup receiver or linebacker like 4th rounders usually are? How many losses do you think the Ravens have avoided the last decade by not missing kicks? How many games did we lose by 3 or less last year where Slye missed at least one kick? I know Vikings, Saints, Chiefs for sure. Poo adds up

Same. Hes my next door neighbor though so im biased ha

Thats exactly why we picked a shutdown corner that can press. Our lack of personnel that could do that forced us into playing soft zone or huge cushions which essentially neutralized our biggest strength which is our DLine and the pass rush. Having DBs that can blanket someone an extra second allows your pass rushers to have an extra second to get to the QB. Watch some 2015 Broncos tape

Theres like 8 all pro caliber receivers in our division not including ours and weve gotten absolutely abused by putting JAGs against them and now we finally draft a legit shutdown corner and this board melts down lmao

Lets check in one the hog molly receiver he drafted

Draft Etienne or one of the UNC running backs in the 2nd round problem solved

This Gonzaga team is a few notches above everyone else gonna be interesting to see if they finally get over the hump because they are usually perennial chokers

Yeah yeah not Panthers related but its the offseason and college bball will always be king in NC enjoy the NIT dookies, cant blame Coach K for wanting the season cancelled I wouldnt wanna coach that team either

Love Tre he seems like a great guy and players respect him But as much as he wants to believe this is due to “rebuilding” or “dead cap” reality is we are building a defense of young, athletic players that play with an edge and play aggressive and a safety that seems to shy away from contact and is limited athletically doesnt fit those plans you dont build a nasty OLine full of road graders and then put Reggie Bush behind them

i told my friends theyre the Brooklyn Nets of the NFL
