Here's your biggest worry with the Panthers

[Whirlwin]

Oh I did not know that.

So basically we are unstoppable Sunday.

No basically. You don’t know the basics. Lol.

 

[Whirlwin]

i live about 30 mins from the stadium just south of charlotte - its going to be a wet day tomorrow....

Coming right up the coast to New England, where I am. Nasty weather next two days.

 

[shabazz]

Somebody with the brain thank you

And really just a part of one. I had a lobotomy some time ago.......just cant remember when for some strange reason

 

[Typhus]

Will get 20 this week. Look at his other games.

Hope you are right Jazz

0-2 on grass this year. Losing to the Eagles and Bears.

This is my one concern in this game in this week to week league where teams are all over the map looking like contenders one week and pretenders the next.

I wonder if this becomes a significant factor in this game playing on their grass field. They'd get smoked in Dallas but maybe not in Carolina.

Big Fail,,,,again.

 

[xwalker]

I remember Randy Gregory used to be pretty good on grass.

Lawrence Taylor said why waste your time on grass...

 

[zrinkill]

Rico Dowdle is their biggest concern, put up over 200 yds vs Miami last week.

He has played well one game.

My biggest worry would be taking the Panthers with the 3.5 points and taking the under at 49.5

I'm happy to say I have no worries as I am taking the Cowboys and giving away the 3.5 points and I'm taking the over. Eber's no Uber

Cowboys win 41-31

I am staying away from this one, don’t like either line but might do some props.

The Cowboys only play on grass fields when they play away games, so that in itself lowers the win rates for most teams, especially over years of games.

That's not to say the Cowboys don't play worse on grass fields, because it likely has to do with the fact they don't play or practice on them very often and turf fields make players faster and makes their cuts more defined, etc.

That said, people tend to forget though that a lot of Cowboys players played college ball on grass fields and many signed free agents came from teams with grass fields.

Other factors that play into grass field performance though that seem to always be ignored are things like rainy/snowy weather, high or sporadic winds, hot/cold temperatures, etc. as some of the extremes of those can have a much bigger impact than grass fields.

 

[Jipper]

thank you bro. Keep us updated. Seriously. The local Mets will have a better handle on the weather there then the national ones.

Ha yeah, its 64 and very overcast now....funny my in-laws are up from Florida and acting like its 30 out!!!

I think their field is turf

Hope you are right Jazz

Me too.

In the NFL that is actually all you need.

 

[Ranching]

Hey Coach- be sure to wander over to the off-topic section and wish your buddy @Coogiguy03 a happy birthday.

I hope he wears extra flammable hairspray and get very close to blow out the candles. Please share your thoughts

lol you are AWFUL lol

 

[GoCowboysGo]

Carolina’s secondary is my biggest worry with that team.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

Rico Dowdle is their biggest concern, put up over 200 yds vs Miami last week.

But that's miami...sames as that's just the jets.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

You can't be serious! Too fast, please, our defense is slower than slow. Sanborn needs to be replaced ASAP, he's got to be the slowest backer in the league. As for our offense, we do have a couple of players who could have trouble because of their speed, but the real problem is this offense performs better on turf than on grass because it spends more time practicing and playing on turf.

Technically "slower" is slower than slow...just sayin

Lawrence Taylor said why waste your time on grass...

relief pitcher Tug McGraw had the best quote...back in the 70s.


When asked if he preferred grass or Astroturf, Tug McGraw famously said, "I dunno. I never smoked any Astroturf". This classic quote from the relief pitcher was a witty response to the debate over playing surfaces in baseball during the 1970s.
