These games are so dumb. They could have the two best teams in the league playing over there and it would suck.

You know what, I agree. I live in the UK and have been to two of those games, one of them was the Cowboys game.

There is so much hype here over these games, and usually they are terrible. The NFL agenda of globalisation doesn’t take into account player welfare. How can you play at such high level when you are so jet lagged?

how are they jet lagged? They are there for DAYS prior to the game. Im so tired of EVERYTHING seemingly making the game unsafe for these guys. I wonder of the pregame meal is unsafe?

Dallas at NY at 3:25 and the chiefs texas at noon.

Why? This should be reversed.

Of course but the chiefs are the biggest draw of the year and the texans are playoff caliber team. I get that this is a 3:25 game because its CBS chance to broadcast a cowboys game..along with thanksgiving. It's just odd to not have watson vs mahomes in a prime spot.

I agree with you. Just playing devil's advocate

Couple good morning games. Likely watch Chiefs vs Texans on TV and stream Eagles vs Vikings on the laptop. LOL or go for a run with the dog.

Romo just said something the I have been saying for years....The 07-09 offense garrett brought to Dallas was vertical and wanted big plays...he said he see's Jason Garrett's fingerprints all over this offense!!!

The Kellen Moore people are going to be so upset.

he also mentioned how the offense changed as the offensive line did. Said he is going to talk about this and explain it today during the game.

It is part of scheduling lol, you cant have all the good games at noon, or some teams only play at noon!
KC like every other team has noon games and afternoon games, sun nite thur nite games, and 1 mon nite game.
on Sunday they are all prime spots.
I actually think more watch the afternoon games if good than a noon game.

Romo front and center with the CBS crew on stage right now.

Some interesting commentary.

They asked about Dallas going down field more and he mentioned time with line for deeper routes to develop. Said, belive it not, Garrett wants to push it downfield like his Turner roots. Moore involved of course.

They laughed and asked him about ever having to scrap the game plan early....knowing we had no oline at all from 2010-2013. He just laughed and said that almost described entire seasons, but left it that.

yea I get it..lol? Its just that the chiefs texans have had repeated playoff matchups, have two of the best young qb's and seems they should be the 3:25 game.

I have many times before.

Defensive DVOA, yards per drive allowed, points per drive allowed. In that order.

And those show that the Dallas defense is right in line with what the Panthers defense is doing and slightly better than what the Tampa defense provides. They are all very similar with no great separation between the teams. The original statement made it seem as Dallas was light years behind both Carolina and Tampa. That just isn't the case.
