Early games thread

[Verdict]

The Cowboys football operations is run by cheerleader executives. They are far too loyal to players. For instance, I bet they have yet to even entertain the idea of replacing Jason Witten.

I'm sorry, make that Saint Jason of Knoxville.

They all need to go.

I am as big of a Jason Witten fan as anyone but they have kept him around for so long and he is eating up so many bad snaps they are starting to make me almost hate him.

 

[Risen Star]

Remember when there were ideas of having a Beasley/Switzer combo just terrorizing the league doing Patriot things?

Good times.

Meanwhile, we do the same thing we did three years ago.

Apparently it hasn't been the right time to unleash that yet.

Something to look forward to.

 

[Verdict]

There is not a guaranteed win on the rest of our schedule. Just come to grips with that and you might feel a little bit of relief.

I'm not sure why anyone would think any NFE East game is a gimme ever.

What's wrong with a 3 year extension for a 47 year old TE???

I learned back in 1991 that nothing in the NFL is a lock

Yes yes I know......but you know as fans we always try to be optimistic and count the eggs before they hatch.

If Dak got hit like Cousins just did then.....no flag, but Cousins got 6 flags.

 

[Alexander]

Really need the Ravens and the Bears to win

Pretty sad it is not even Thanksgiving and we are playing that "if this team loses" game.

 

[theebs]

Detroit has the most favorable schedule to me to steal a wild card spot.

They have like chi twice, Baltimore, Cincy, gb and Minnesota.

Even if they lose the Minnesota game they can get to 11 wins

I hear ya!

Why try something that might interfere with forcing the ball to Dez?

 

[Risen Star]

Maybe today is the day the Cowboys use Switzer with Beasley in 4 WR sets and have Switzer chip to help out the LT.

Blasphemy.

Kirk (with a k) Cousins is a legit QB. His problem is he was drafted to backup RG3. That label is slammed on him as long as he stays in Washington. Had the losers (and Danny boy) let Shannon do his thing (passing on RG3 and go with Cousins pick), I think they would have been in a far way better situation

Thank God for Dan Snyder

I admit. I was hoping they release him when his rookie contract expires and we pick him up. Until we got Dak

You know this is the early game thread right?

 

[Mr Cowboy]

How different would the Cowboys be with DJ Swearinger and Zach Brown?

3 yr/$13M (front loaded) and 1yr/$2.3 M. Is that too much for you Stephen?

They'd be sitting behind Heath and Jaylon! I'm not kidding!

 

[Aven8]

Maybe today is the day the Cowboys use Switzer with Beasley in 4 WR sets and have Switzer chip to help out the LT.

And Brandon Graham will have to get Switz off the bottom of his shoes if that happens....

 

[CowboysFanSince88]

They think they are still in it hanging by a thread. Mathematically they are still in it.

Mathematically alive means you ain't in the race

 

[unionjack8]

As an aside, I look forward to new receivers on the Cowboys including at TE. We've spent enough years with this group. Turn it over.

I know you're going to come back at me with well we have no QB and that's true but you still have to try.

Would be nice to have a modern playbook too...

 

[Alexander]

Why try something that might interfere with forcing the ball to Dez?

Even more diabolical than that.

It might mean, gulp, creativity, in the passing game.

Sounds like an awful lot of work.

 

[StylisticS]

The Saints could find themselves down by two touchdowns.
