Mr $100M man Sue finally got his first sack of the season.

And Clowney finally got his first sack of his career.

I disagree. You don't win playing conservative. Does Cassel need to try and protect the football sure, but if you have Brice Butler have a step on his man on a vertical route or you get T-Will on a deep drag route you have to let it rip. We need those big plays. I don't believe the defense is gonna be dominant enough to win without any big plays from the offense. Our pass rush should be fiersome and I believe the line backing core can be as good as any, but the secondary is what is holding the defense back. The horrible safety play, the horrible angles, the lack of play makers in the secondary outside of Byron Jones. We basically have two guys playing at an above average level back there. Mo and the rookie. I don't think that's good enough to field an elite defensive unit.

If you divided the group of all NFL QBs in history in half with the most and least conservative groupings with Weed as the most conservative ever and Farve as the least conservative ever, Aikman would be in the conservative half.

If Butler is single covered on a 9 route and has a step, it's not abandoning a conservative approach to throw him the ball. If you throw him the ball when he is double covered then that is abandoning the conservative approach (unless you do what Weed did and just throw is so far past Williams that it was impossible for him or anybody else to catch it).

Throwing to an open receiver in the NFL is not being non-conservative, it's just being an NFL QB.

What Cassel can't do it try to be a hero and start flinging it around into double or triple cover like he thinks he's Brett Farve.

Obviously, if they get significantly behind on the scoreboard then he would need to take more chances; however, to start the game he needs to minimize the risks and give the defense a chance to step up to the plate now that they have all hands on deck. If they don't get significant pressure and rattle Eli with Hardy and Gregory now playing, then the Cowboys have problems beyond this game.

Miami finally has a head coach that demands that use Lamar Miller and the entire team be accountable and physical.
Dan Campbell just might end up keeping this interim job.

 

[joseephuss]

Miami up 41-0 and it's only 2nd qtr?

You know some gambler somewhere is cursing the Dolphins kicker for missing an extra point that would have made it 42-0.

And Clowney finally got his first sack of his career.

Now they can breath a sigh of relief in Houston.

The colts are going to learn what what we did about 5 years ago. You can have a great QB and lots of shiny toys but if you don't have a good OL, it doesn't mean jack squat

 

[camelboy]

The bucs/skins game is gonna go overtime and fox will go extended coverage .. i just know it

 

[KJJ]

Another interception for luck.. he's all messed up. His confidence is shattered.

He's got some demons wrecking havoc in his head.

Cleveland was doing a great job of keeping Gurley in check, but the dude is just beast. Wearing them down and heading for another big day.

 

[CowboysFanSince88]

I thought the Bucs and Dolphins were crappy, looks like the Cowboys will have their hands full in November

 

[CowboysFanSince88]

If I live to be 105 years, I will never ever understand why a NFL CB never turns around to make a play on the ball while it;s in the air. Why do they all stare at the receiver instead of turning around?

After how the Browns played with my emotions last week, their games are no longer allowed to be shown in my apt lol

Eric Decker is better than twill.

He's got some demons wrecking havoc in his head.

How about a Luck for Weeden trade. Weeden does have a better QBR this yr. win/win for everyone.

 

[Mr Cowboy]

The Luck contract negotiations are getting trickier by the game.

I hope they let him walk!

 

[Carson]

3 personal fouls on the Bucs today. Skins about to score

Why wouldn't weeden just be cut? Why would another team want him?

 

[LocimusPrime]

Patriots 6'7" TE chandler is how Escobar is supposed to be utilized.

 

[Carson]

Now a roughing the passer. About to be 24-14.

Dry humor / sarcasm Just my daily jab at weeden
