General thoughts

Galian Beast · Oct 20, 2015

With the Giants likely to lose at this rate, we're certainly still very much in this thing, especially if we can pull out a win against them next week.

The Giants loss yesterday, I hope would compel Jerry Jones to make sure this team can make it through the absence of Romo. The Chicago Bears are now 2-4, I'm still hoping we can take some things off their hands. Namely Matt Forte or I'd like us to get some wide receiver help, but I don't see that really happening.

Players that need to go next year:
No surprise the players that I said needed to go this year: Carr and Free.

I'm trapped. Part of me wants to focus entirely on upgrading the secondary, the other part of me wants us to do whatever we can to draft Ezekiel Elliot. Really wish we had signed Cromartie and Tillman.

Running back notes:
Matt Forte - 507 yards (1st in the nfl)
Todd Gurley - 314 yards (16th in the nfl)
Melvin Gordon - 299 yards (18th in the nfl)
Joseph Randle - 289 yards (22nd in the nfl)
DeMarco Murray - 239 yards (31st in the nfl)
Darren McFadden - 129 yards (57th in the nfl)

Lol... Demarco gave Randle a running start and he's still going to end up lapping Randle's sorry butt.

They are not going to make any trades at this time. We do not need Forte
They are not going to cut any players, except for Moore when Romo returns. Or a player lower on the depth chart if they don't work out, like Rod Smith or one of the OL, like Brown, if they activate Green.

Why show a chart comparing RBs when we have RBBC, of course they will be lower ranked. That is like having an agenda against them. A RB that has few series a game will be near the last. Your chart is biased IMO.

As much as I a want them to get Elliot next year, the only way that happens if we don't win another game, or only a few, or we trade up. Which I am for trading up to get him.

And we will be getting WR help, Butler will be back this week, and possibly Dez, if not this week then the next week.

Have a feeling this will turn into another hate our RB, should have kept Murray thread....

That's if Murray can get our of his own backfield, or doesn't end up with his usual hang nail.

RBBC = 418 yards. Good for 2nd. Don't forget the bye week also played a part in this. Odds are, they would be in first.

So now we have the best run game in the nfl...

I have a general thought, the NFL this year is one of the worst years i can remember in a long time. It's bad enough the Cowboys are struggling to stay afloat, but all these games so far have been terrible.

I think a lot of it has to do with the CBA and how much they are allowed to practice, or not practice.

I've been feeling this way as well.

I was thinking I felt that way because Romo was out of action, but Im really not digging it this year.

It's a mess, undisciplined, out of shape players who are getting injured at a horrible rate. Although the undefeated teams seem to look a lot better than the rest.....go figure.

As for needs next year...QB...

tyke1doe · Oct 20, 2015

No need to trade for Matt Forte. He wouldn't be a vast improvement, especially not for the pick we'd have to give up to get him. Besides, we need Romo back. Everything else is secondary.

Furthermore, if we miss out on Ezekiel Elliott, Derrick Henry should be available. He's not as elusive and can be taken down easily if you get him moving side to side. But if you can get him moving up the field with his speed behind him, he's tough to bring down. I think he'd be the perfect fit for this offense behind this line.

Yakuza Rich · Oct 20, 2015

I don't see a trade happening. And the defense isn't exactly out in the clear either. We looked good on defense for roughly 3 quarters against the Patriots. You hope with Hardy, Gregory and McClain coming back that the defense will really turn it on down the stretch, but I'll believe it when I actually see it.

I actually like the addition of Rod Smith.

I haven't watched a game live since the DVR came out. I usually wait an hour or two, and then usually catch up to the game. It's very hard to watch all the flags, commercials, replays, reviews, etc. Ugh.

I do however pay attention to the game day thread...priceless.

This feels like the '99 season to me.

I think that is a huge part of it, but, also, QB play is just downright bad.

The 3 best QBs in the league (Rodgers, Brady, Romo) are all undefeated. Roethlisberger only lost to the Pats.

I love how Demarco has one good game and you're out here thumping your chest.
