“@AdamSchefter: Broncos’ HC Gary Kubiak on Denver’s win today: ”It might be the greatest defensive football game I’ve ever been a part of as a coach.“”


What ever you say coach.

He might be right, just not for the reason he thinks.

Tony Romo
 
Witten doesn't bat the ball up the air like a dope and it's just an incomplete pass.  But I know that doesn't feed the meme that every Cowboys turnover is Tony Romo's fault.  He caused Beasley's fumble too.

How are the Gmen leading this game?  Is Eli sad because older brother looks cooked and thus he too is sucking as hard as possible at throwing the football?

Dallas has dominated this game. Turnovers and red zone conversions are the two things that can turn things around quickly for teams that are being outplayed. The Cowboys are outgaining the Giants over 2:1. I wouldn't say they "look like garbage" when their defense against the GMen, and specifically, ODB has been pretty impressive so far.

The pass was badly behind Witten and may have been intercepted by the same giant anyways, but I agree with your point. He has had a few good to great years in a row and everything bad that happens on offense is his fault. It is remarkable.

[SIZE=14pt]He should be ashamed. He has Manning, Thomas, and Sanders and no offensive TDs. Embarrassing. All the rules are tilted toward the offense and his team plays like that[/SIZE]
 
[SIZE=14pt]The NFL and ESPN goes after the Pats, at least the Pats are competent. They have balls calling this pro football after some of the shit I saw today. A bunch of teams looked unprepared to play today.[/SIZE]

This Dallas game reminds of last year's when they played Washington at home. Dominated, but lost to Colt McCoy because of dumb mistakes.

No, Cris, the rule isn't the back foot must be "anywhere close" to LOS.
 
I know what you were trying to say, but you should actually say it.

Pats open up as 1 pt favorites in Buffalo.
 
I'll be in Vegas next week and won't be touching that game, if anything I'll put a small amount on BUF as solace in the event Rex wins his SB.

Let's see how Brady does with his new O-line there next week before we completely judge, right now Buffalo looks like a house of horrors.   They have playmakers all over the field and this is Rex's Super Bowl.
By saying this is Rex's Super Bowl, you may be underestimating the Bills. I think they are a likely playoff team. This is probably Rex's best defense ever, and given decent QB play, the offense is at least equal to anything he had with the Jets.

But if you're going to put Luck on the pedestal, you should expect a better showing that he had today.
