yeah, a lot of our wins at this time of year is becaue we are out of contention.

I'm sorry, but this doesn't make any sense to me. Could you explain how being out of contention makes it easier to win?

It seems to me that being out of contention would make it easier to lose. Less to play for, easier to pack it in, and getting a wtf attitude would seem to make winning more difficult once you are out of contention.

Getting players to play well when they have nothing to play for is remarkable.

I think it has to do with presure. Before last season we seemed to fold under pressure. When that pressure is removed, we seemed to do well.

I can see how some may see it that way. To me, that is just too simplistic. NFL players are at the top of their profession. The vast majority thrive on pressure. Until you get to the playoffs, all games have basically the same level of pressure.

It is difficult enough to win in the NFL. Which makes it just that much more puzzling as to why we can win late in the year, and struggle early in the year.

To me, this year was just a clusterfug of a year. O-line problems. Cam not being 100%. Whole new WR corp. RBs not being/staying healthy. Defense not playing to expectations. A poo ton of things went into our lackadaisical season.

Ah hellz, what do I know. Maybe it is just as simple as our Coaching staff is kildos. Which I don't want to admit.

      I remember the Huddle consensus over the course of last season and the previous one. Lots of Bryce is a bust, we should've drafted a 4th slot WR, should've kept Wilks, should've kept an armless Cam, etc etc. So... yea... already thought about that. I wouldn't trust the Huddle to detail my car, let alone run a multi-billion dollar professional sports team. 😛

      bold prediction, I think Mike Green will be the best pass rusher in this class, and thats even with abdul carter.  He reminds me of demarcus ware, not just in size and prowess, but even coming from a Sunbelt school (Ware from Troy, Green from Marshall).  I think he is passionate about the sport where I think Carter as the physical freak might not have the heart.  Thats the guy Im sold on and am gonna hammer the table for, I know he's not projected 8, but he is projected like 12-13, so if a slide back can happen and we still get the guy I want, I'm 100% on board. All that said, it takes 2 to tango, I think the Cowboys are the tango-er.  IMO theres a VERY good shot that Jeanty is available at 8.  Why does that matter?  Not only do the cowboys NEED a runningback (dak sucks without a run game), but MORE importantly, gee where did Jeanty play in high school.....Frisco TX, literally Dallas Metro.  Soo, RB is a position of need and the best RB and most blue chip draft selection that  could improve the offense immensly played IN dallas metro AND will be in range for them to move up and pick?  Do ya think Jerry Jones is gonna just say no to the Jersey Sales?  Jerry might have sexually assaulted a woman and attempted to prevent black people from going to school, but he's no idiot (he is).  IMO, we get a good enough package, prlly their first and third,  maybe a conditional later and we move to 12.  We get Green, they get Jeanty, everbuddy happy.
