Harvin definitely looks good going forward, and looks like he's finally going to break out of his average 600-800 yard production, as he's almost already topped that mark through 6 weeks this year. But Fitzgerald is still pretty much in his prime, and still has the talent to be putting up well over 1,000 yards and, if he had a half decent QB/team around him, could be putting up the touchdowns to go with it. But I don't think Fitzgerald is anywhere close to falling off, I think he's still got another 3-4 years of great production left in him before we start to see him declining.

once again you bounce to something im not even talking about....that is old news, which i had already admitted i wasnt paying attention to it full time like yourself, sorry.
this is what i was refering to
By bosox [278767]
I just find it funny that you and Luke are so quick to defend shady and outright disrespectful in-game tactics, coaches slapping other coaches on the ass belittling them after a win, shit talking coaches who run their mouth and continue to not win anything, and owners who act like little kids but if Belichick doesn't shake the hand of a man a certain way you guys call him a dick. To me, I think your priorities are very backwards and puzzling. |
where did i say any of that? you wont find it because i didnt, i just showed how bias your pathic view can be....idiot....

Luke, you WERE defending it. You positioned it against what Belichick did and you made it clear you felt Schiano rushing an opposing team taking a knee was "playing until the end," which is so totally wrong. You seem to think that's not so bad when the rest of the league thinks it's cheap, dirty, and disrespectful. you also seem to not have much of a problem with the way Harbaugh acted last season, slapping Schwartz on the ass while basically jumping and running around celebrating his victory... which is childish at best. Yet you see no problem there. That was what I was referring to.
And when will you understand this... I have no reason to be bias to the Cowboys. My youth was filled with John Elway with the Broncos and Marshall Faulk with the Rams winning, and then, of course, my Patriots. The Cowboys last won in the 1995 season--when I was 6 and don't remember it, they play in the NFC so the Pats barely play them, and they have been sucky, irrelevant, and a .500 team since then. I have no preconceived bias towards them, this is the part that a lot of Cowboys fans don't get... there is a generation of kids growing up that ONLY know the Cowboys as a mediocre ream with a proud history. I couldn't care less if the Cowboys win games or not, I have no stake in it. Their seeding doesn't affect the Patriots or any of the AFC teams they compete against. They have never met in a Super Bowl, and the Pats have no real history with them. The reason I prefer to see Dallas lose now is because I'm tired of certain Cowboy fans thinking it's 1998 and they are still America's Team. But if you match the Cowboys up against the Jets, Ravens, Steelers, or Giants... I'm hoping the Cowboys win. I don't blindly hate them like you think I do, I call them what they are: An average team. And that seems to upset you and many other Cowboy fans.

i didnt say to the cowboys did i? no, stop putting shit in my mouth that i havnt said. I never said slapping somebody's ass was okay, and yes i do think rushing the "victory" formation is okay. No where in the damn rules does it say when theres about 30 seconds left you must give up. You can cry and whin about it all day, that doesnt make it dirty. thats the only thing i said was okay, but you seem to connect some imaginary dots and think everything you listed i think is okay. I by no means defended anything, i just named some other things you forgot to mention and seem to think they are just fine......but id love to see a quote of me defending anything/body besides the victory formation buster.

Besides the Giants and Ravens game, which only 1 were a victory, Murray hasn't exactly been a team savior. In our only win besides the Giants he only had 38 yards. He will be missed, but as the Ravens game proved he's shown to be replaceable. Whats REALLY breaking us is losing the turnover battle and penalties. We are -8 on the turnover differential and one of the most penalized teams in the league. You simply can't win if you're constantly giving up the ball and never taking it.

Cowboys and Pats with very close wins. I think it's safe to say both teams are still on a bit of shaky ground as of right now.
Pats REALLY "lucked" out with that rather lame, imo, pass interference call from the ref 30 yards away when the one 5 yards away didn't call it. Anyway, the Pats just really don't seam to want to finish games these days. Most people have always thought of Brady as MR. 4th quarter but I haven't really seen that lately honestly.
Pats got lucky with a call that shouldn't have been, but the Cowboys also got luck on a no call that should have been. Mo got there early and it should have been first down. Instead, they end up on 4th and gave it up. Those calls are seldom going to go our way so we really need to get our shit together. We didn't have a great rushing day, but Murrays absence was negligible. We just better hope Sean Lee isn't going to lose time with his foot injury because our D was noticeably different without him.

The only game that surprised me today was the Ravens/Texans.
Wow. Talk about shitting the bed, and then laying in it. Flacco got lucky that he was able to pad his stats some later in the game, because I'm pretty sure he went through at least 2 1/2 quarters with 50 yards passing, two interceptions and a 30 percent pass completion.
On a side note, I really haven't heard too much about MVP consideration this year. Who do you think has a legitimate chance?

Luke, the Patriot secondary sucks, and has sucked since 2008. Most teams in the NFL over the past 4 seasons have had much better players in their backfield, seeing as the Pats usually rank around 28th-31st in that category. So if you compare your team to the Pats' secondary and you think that means something.... then all I have to say is shame on you. The difference between the Patriots and most other teams the past few years is we have still managed to go a total of 48-16 (.750) during that stretch with back to back 1 seeds and the reigning AFC Champs. Now, if you want to tell me the Patriots' defense has cost them some playoff games and potentially a Super Bowl, then yeah I would agree with you there. But again, let's not compare anything the Patriots have done lately to what the Cowboys have done. And on top of that, from 2008-2010, when the Pats were either missing the playoffs or losing their first game, that was considered the dark ages of Brady...whereas if the Cowboys miss a few playoffs or go 0-1 for a couple years, you brush it off and compare it to teams that are going 13-3 to the Super Bowl. Hell, at least most of the Pats' young secondary today has Super Bowl experience..... how many Cowboys players can say that?
And Crow, the Patriots are definitely a flawed team, and much more so than I thought they were. I knew the defense was bad, but as I pointed out just now, the defense has been bad but that hasn't really stopped them from winning games and making a run. As hard as it is to say this, Brady is really just not the same as he used to be and will make a few bad plays that end drives or settle for FGs instead of TDs. And unfortunately, Brady really does have to carry this team if they have any hope of doing anything. The defense has not been good enough to win us a game for a long, long time. Really, you'd have t be going back to 2006 before you could really say we had a good defense; however, even then they blew the AFC Championship game against the Colts with a big lead in the 4th. So it's all basically been put on Brady for a long time now, and he's been able to cover up for some VERY poor defenses.... but he's 35 years old, been in the league for 11 seasons, and it's starting to show a little. And when that starts to show, the team usually loses.

Also, I cannot really say I'm surprised that Baltimore got blown out by Houston. Houston is hands down the best team in the AFC and, as I said before, probably should have beaten both the Ravens and the Patriots last year on their way to the Super Bowl were it not for crippling injuries to their QB, WR, RB, and defense late in the season. Baltimore, on the other hand, had the benefit of playing against a Steelers team that albeit went 12-4 but really only beat up on mediocre to bad teams, losing twice to Baltimore and then the Broncos in the Wild Card Round. And say whatever the hell you want about Flacco... he sucks. Sucks, sucks, sucks, sucks, sucks. If he played on almost any other team other than Baltimore with their defense, he would be lucky to be winning 6-7 games a year. In an era where 4,000 yards and 30 TDs is pretty much considered average, he is still throwing for 3,500 with 20. His playoffs rating is 70 and has 8 TDs to 8 INTs in his 9 games (going 5-4 in them). He is Tony Romo with a few more playoff wins and a little less regular season stats. So I am not at all surprised that an actually ELITE team blew the doors off of them really.
And oh, before you tell me "Flacco beat you in 2009 and only lost becauase his kicker missed a chip shot FG at the end of regulation last year".... take a loot at his stats. He posted a rating of 10 (that's right, just 10) in the 2009 game, against a Patriots team that was 10-6, throwing 0 TDs and 1 INT. Ray Rice and their defense were solely responsible for winning that game. And then again in this latest AFC game, he played well, posting a 94 rating, but still threw a pick and really should have shredded our defense a lot more than he did, seeing as we were the 30th ranked defense that year and QBs who are no longer in the league this season torched us for nearly 500 yards and multiple multiple TDs (see Chad Henne). But even if you average the two games out, he's 1-1 (with the loss coming in the most important game) with a rating of 52, 2 TDs, 2 INTs against the Pats in the playoffs.
Oh, and before someone says "Brady sucks against Baltimore," that's fine. It's true, he does. But he's also got 3 rings with a combined rating of 93 with a 9-2 TD/INT ratio in his 5 Super Bowls. So again, let's not anyone start to try to compare the two.
Flacco sucks.

Things may be going a little downhill in NE, but it's certainly not mostly on Brady. I only said that because we all know the next thing out of probably Luke's mouth, especially since I compared Flacco to Romo, would have been how average Brady has looked against NE. I just figured I'd save us all some time, and probably a semi-coherent response from Luke, and just put it out there before he got the chance to say it. Espeially since Luke felt the need to try and compare the Dallas secondary (see how "the Dallas" can be used appropriately, but only in that context?) to the NE secondary, as if that really means anything. Most of what I say on here about anything comes back to someone telling me the Pats are overrated and/or aren't good I was just being proactive.

idiot....i was comparing our secondary to yours because last year you talked about they were decent, but then want to trash the cowboys secondary which actually IS decent....but i should have guessed you would have overlooked that seeing as your good at it....

Luke, perhaps you should stop calling me an idiot because every time I disprove everything you say. For one, I have never said the Patriots had a decent secondary. I said the numbers were deceiving last year because the Pats typically were up 34-10 in the 4th quarter and teams would just chuck it up and score garbge points and end up losing 34-21 by scoring two TDs in the last 5 mins of the game. That's a fact. I also said they don't get enough credit for the turnovers they produce, but I have never ever said they were decent. You can try to find the quote if you'd like. The front 7 is pretty good, and has been pretty good at stopping the run and average at getting to the QB, and I said Sterling Moore made two great plays in the AFC Champ game and then played pretty well in the Super Bowl, but please don't mistake that for me thinking we have a great secondary.
The Cowboys secondary isn't that decent though. Because YOU and Crow have said to me the number 1 thing stopping Romo and making him look bad is the fact the defense can't hold leads. I can go back and probably find you 5 quotes apiece of you two saying that, and then this season your defense isn't really improved at all, as both the Cowboys and Patriots rank 9th in their respective conferences, in terms of points allowed. That's about as mediocre as it gets really. So if you want to brag about having a mediocre defense then... well... I guess that sounds about right for a typical Cowboy fan these days.

Actually, more often than not I blamed our terrible oline. I have said the D was a huge problem and that it has improved, which it has, but I never said our only problem was defense. Try not lumping is in together just because we root for the same team.
Our D HAS improved. Lee and Carter are better than James and Brooking.. Carr, Claiborne and Jenkins are better than Newman, Jenkins and Scandrick. Our line still isn't that great, which I've pointed our befor. Our line on both sides of the ball really disappoint.

Crow, here are just some of the references of you pretty much directly blaming the defense and/or using it as an example for the Cowboys' struggles and why it's not Romo's fault. And also, it's funny how you criticize the Pats and Brady for "running up the score" (like this is middle school soccer), yet you then tell me no lead is safe with Dallas and it's not Romo's fault. Perhaps if Romo was.... hmm... a better QB, he could afford his defense giving up some 4th quarter points... similar to what... Brady and Rodgers have compensated for over the past few seasons--oh wait, I forgot. You're not allowed to run up the score because it's "mean" but if you don't score enough points and then get outsocred over the 60 minutes by your opponent then it's not your QBs fault either? Again, this is sort of why Dallas fans are annoying.
Anyways, here are some of your quotes where you bash your defense and blame them for Romo's shortcomings when it matters most;
By _TheCrow_ [686314]
Romo can't help it if the defense constantly lets up after half time... |
By _TheCrow_ [686314]
Romo can't control the kicking game or the defense letting up 2+ scores in the 4th quarter... When our defense is letting Kolb and Sanchez look like all-pro's in the 4th, you can't hold that against Romo... but you will, somehow. |
By _TheCrow_ [686314]
He could throw 6 TD's in a playoff game and if our defence gives up 7 TD's YOU will claim Romo choked.... |

By _TheCrow_ [686314]
Romo can't control the kicking game or the defense letting up 2+ scores in the 4th quarter... When our defense is letting Kolb and Sanchez look like all-pro's in the 4th, you can't hold that against Romo... but you will, somehow. |
By _TheCrow_ [686314]
He could throw 6 TD's in a playoff game and if our defence gives up 7 TD's YOU will claim Romo choked.... |

Crow have said to me the number 1 thing stopping Romo and making him look bad is the fact the defense can't hold leads. |
I have agreed that I said defense was a problem and you can find 100 quotes that assures that. But you are being EXTREMELY selective while quoting me. As many quotes as you can find of me dogging our defense, you can find just as many or more of me blaming our oline. Complaining about a problem is not that same thing as singling out that problem as the "ONLY" reason we lost like you seam to insinuate. Our D sucked last year and blew some games... our oline sucked last year and made shit harder for Romo to keep us in games. I blame both equally but IMHO the O line is more to blame than the D.
I'm kinda starting to lose respect for you man. You are acting pretty butthurt that Brady and Co don't look like the cream of the crop anymore and you are on the attack as a result. I gave an evaluation of our games and you went butthurt crazy against me when you didn't like what Luke said. What goes up must come down, and your gods of the gridiron are slumping just like mine. Take it like a man.... Stop being so goddamn defensive in EVERY comment just because you have fallen back to earth about your expectations.

I'm not acting butthurt about the Pats sucking, and if that's what you take from this then I'll tell you straight up you're missing my point. My point is Luke, in particular, holds the Cowboys and Romo up to a level that simply is not true. And in general, many Cowboys fans still think it's 1994 and they are America's Team. Also, every time I've posted anything about Romo being overrated by many people, I get 15 responses about how basically every single loss late in the season over his 6 year career can be blamed on just about everything but Romo. Be it the defense, the oline, the coaching, whatever. I have yet to see you or Luke tell me that maybe perhaps Romo is prone to choking and needs his defense to be shutting teams down in order to win when it counts, and that he is, at best, a middle of the pack guy, if not lower, when it comes to picking a QB you want to start a must win game. I was also responding to the part where you and Luke seemingly took offense (no pun intended) to the fact I was calling your defense kind of sucky this season, and not really much improved. To which Luke basically told me he's been the defense's number 1 supporter and that they're better than the Patriots... which they probably are, as it's really hard to be worse than the guys NE has roaming about back there.
I am no fool, believe me. I get that Brady is old, his window is closing, and the Pats did not intimidate teams like they used to. I thought they were much better than they were this season, and on paper they should have been, but we are 7 games in and it's beyond clear that NE is a click below the elite teams this season, and that while Brady can still be great, he can look very mediocre at times. I can admit that, but... for some reason it's like pulling teeth sometimes for Cowboy fans to admit that their team really is a click below average, and that they've been nothing but an average team for 15 years now. That is the point I'm making. And when I was talking about Flacco, I was comparing him to Brady because, well, it has come down to Patriots/Ravens a few times for critical games over the past few years, and Flacco has actually gotten the better of Brady in most of those games, despite having the losing record. But that does not mean Flacco is an elite QB, or that he's great, or that he's a guy you ever want to start a playoff game for you, and I was simply providing those stats.... seeing as 2 of Flacco's playoff games have been against NE anyways, it'd be hard to not bring up those stats.
I am not on the offensive at all, I'm more than aware of everything you're saying, and I am not saying this is a great team this year. Pleae, at least take it from me that I'm more open-minded about these things than, say, Luke is

Something's been bothering me when it comes to football.
I hate that the Bears are 5-1 and at the top of the North Division. Congrats, you've beaten the Colts, Rams, Cowboys, Jaguars and the Lions to achieve that insanely lopsided record. Cutler has been decent but not great, and hasn't made any key errors this season...Yet. The Bears defense seem to riding pretty high right now but what quality offense have they've played? The Packers when they were going through their early season funk, or the Lions who can't seem to get out of theirs? No one. On a different note entirely, I am happy that the Bears went out and got Cutler an actual target to throw to. There's a few reasons for that, because I took a flyer on the Marshall project in Chicago on my fantasy team (REAPING THE BENEFITS), and the fact that earlier in the season the Packers locked him down in their game. Makes it better to say we're the best in the divison, when the opponents are competent right? Right.
I don't see the Panthers being a threat, but here's hoping the stretch of Texans, 49ers, Vikings and Seahawks provide at least 3 losses so the record balances out. /Bears Rant
Also, to stay relatively on topic...Brady will be Brady, and will put up points while the Patriots win games. Tony Romo will play great football when it's not needed, but shit the bed when the game comes down to the line and rely solely on him.

The bears wont win anything this year because the biggest problem in their team is their QB. And the trend for the past 10-15 years has shown average teams/defenses can go far with a great QB but average QBs with great defenses lose in the playoffs before the Super bowl. It's no like this is the first year Chicago had a good defense, so I don't see much changing with then. Cutler is still his pissy, childish, follower and excuse making self who throws a lot of bad picks. Give it time and order will be restored to the world after a few cutler blown playS

I think after this week I'm just going to put out my own top 5 teams in each conference, instead of doing predictions.

hm....since when did mediocre mean being the 4th best D with the 3rd best pass D....please explain how dallas D is "average" at best.
you say romo sucks, take a look at his stats please.....you CAN blame most of his 4th quarter failures to the o-line due to sacks and getting hit every time he turns around. Sorry, but even lady brady would fail to pull out a clutch getting hit/sacked as much as romo.
now i shall wait for you to make claims of things i havnt said or take them completely out of context to fit what your trying to prove....

Luke everything I claim you said I go back and find your direct quote of you saying it. And the cowboys are average and they've mostly played average or sucky teams. You have no problem seeing when the patriots play an easy schedule but you can't figure out that most of your games this year have been against pretty sucky teams. So congrats for looking ok on defense (and still losing most of your games) this year. What do you really want me to say? You're what, 3-3? And according to you romo is great, the defense is great, so I guess it's just Gods fault you're below .500 for over a year isn't it?
How come I can accept the fact Belichick hasn't drafted good for the past few years, or that the defense sucks lately, or that Brady this year does not look like the Brady of old, the Pats aren't fearsome anymore and that we may just be an average to above average team.... but you admitting a 3-3 Cowboys team, that has been irrelevant if not BAD for the past 10 years, sucks? What will it take for you to say the Cowboys just aren't that good? Or that maybe Romo is overrated, or that maybe losing seasons are going to be the norm in Dallas? It seems you have an lame excuse for everything that goes wrong, yet you have no solution and no comprises and you feel an injustice has been done to the collective Cowboys team and fan base.

To be fair Bo, you're not that far off from cool (minus him over hyping the D). The Pats have losses to Baltimore, Seattle and Arizona. The Cowboys have losses to Baltimore, Seattle and Chicago. 3 losses each, 2 to the same teams and Chicago is better than Arizona. We've also beaten a legit team in the 5-2 defending champs, whereas your Pats have beaten 3-4 teams. Yet I notice the word "sucks" come from you A LOT when talking about the Cowboys, yet when discussing the Pats its "Bill didn't draft well, Brady isn't playing AS WELL as normal, etc." and calling them average to above average.
Our teams are in pretty similar situations at the moment with good offenses and sub par defenses and the Pats having a much better coaching staff. Saying 1 team sucks without question and the other is above average is being just as naive as Cool is..
