Thoughts/Opinions about wildcard weekend!

The cream rises to the top, and the *urds fall to the bottom.

We get the 20th pick, this is big for us.
If Panthers would have won, it would have been the 19th pick.

GB out, Eagles out, Great. Too bad NE won.

Next. Eliminate Steelers tonight.

Then next week eliminate NE, SF

I hate Brady and the Pats with all their SBs... BUT now that I know it's eating Jerry alive that Kraft has more SBs than him, I'm kinda low key rooting for them lol.

The Cowboys need more than one good offseason. They need to hit home runs with coaching hires, free agents, and the draft. You know Jerry is going to do something goofy so you have to prepare yourself for that.
I guess you didn’t notice how powerful the NFC North and West over the weekend. Seven teams that are superior to the Cowboys organization from top to bottom. Arizona, the worst of the bunch, walked the Cowboys like a dog in Dallas.

All they need to become is an average defense and figure out the tackle position. Fixing the pass rush will get them there in a hurry.

It’s not that simple. The Joneses talk a good game but continue to disappoint. I keep hearing “All in” and they do nothing. I also don’t believe the Pickens situation is going to go smoothly. If that blows up like all our holdouts seem to do, it’s gonna cause issues.

For Cowboy fans, this has to be the best weekend we will get - packers, beagles, and steelers all losing same weekend.....

Just look at the Bears this yr post Eberflus, defense still isn't elite but it has vastly improved.

...I learned that Texas has REAL good defense.

Rodgers should just retire. He has no legs. Still has arm though, but in this league having legs goes long way.

I love it that the Steelers now hold the all time NFL record for most consecutive playoff losses, that is GREAT to me as a 50+ year Steeler hater.

On a positive note I believe if you bring back Clowney, bring in a free agent safety, and add Hendrickson. I think we could have a solid front 4. I would love to be able to draft Mansoor and Allen. Those guys are professional on and off the field.

Just wrote a post on the draftzone about those two positions.

I love me some Styles potential but I don’t think he fits the teams time line. We need real pros who take stuff seriously.

Always like Demeco and loved Stroud coming out of college. Glad to see them beat the squealers although I have a ton of respect for Tomlin.
I think Houston could make a real run, CJ has to take care of the ball better than he just did though.
Overall, couldn’t have gone better unless there was a chance that the eagles-SF game tied and both got eliminated. However, I think losing Skittles reduces SF chances significantly of making a run.

He skillset is a better fit as they need a rangy linebacker

I think the games this weekend put a cherry on top of a concept that far too many people miss. Carolina and the Bears were considered “bad losses” by the Cowboys.
Turns out both teams were significantly better than most thought they were. Those losses don’t look so bad now.

Also, the Eagles don’t look as formidable as many made them out to be earlier in the season, and Green Bay also falls into that same class.

They were bad losses. Carolina was 8-9, enough said.
Vs Chicago we were never in the game. They kicked our butt. Chicago is not that good, but they are clutch.

 

[ConstantReboot]

Yup... everyone knew he was available but Jerry was being Jerry.

If your talking about Kendrick...bad move that we didn't retain him. But some here say that he was just too old and won't amount to much. You know who you are.

Bills vs Rams Superbowl incoming.

 

[KingCorcoran]

I kinda wish Philly had won, and even gone to the NFC CG, and I'll tell you why.

If they had gotten to the NFC CG, or even the SB and lost...they might have been tempted to bring back their bad offensive coaches, convinced they were just 1 win away.

That didn't happen.

The fact that they went 11-6, won the NFC East, and lost in the Wild Card will be seen as a colossal and unadulterated failure of a season to them. To US, it woulda been a pretty good year.... but they will take this as fuel to do whatever it takes to get back to the top again. And they wont wait. They did the exact same thing 2 years ago, and then won the SB.

Them being motivated to "get things straight" is NOT good for us.

Even more so for the Commanders. They almost reached the penthouse in 2024 only to fall all the way to the outhouse in 2025. They only have five draft picks, no 3rd or 4th. They’ll be aggressive in free agency.

Jerry is going to have to take swings to stay competitive. Starting with signing Pickens.
