They can't slow it down it will be worse.

There is literally nothing for them to do but hope this gimmick works on a few bad defenses, They stink at QB, OL, WR and TE.

His system is high school level in construction and needs to be fast to work. That is why they struggle so bad if a play fails. The simplicity also messes up their red zone offense.

When Maxwell is quoted saying the last TD was because he was too tired shows just why Chip isn't a genius. It is not some complex scheme it is all about getting a defense on its heels and moving the ball because of it. If they can stack good plays it works, but even if it works it tends to struggle in the red zone and it wears out his own defense. When it doesn't work and the opponent controls the ball and scores his defense still gets worn out and the opponent's D stays fresh.

How good is a system if it requires defense and special team scores to compensate for getting FGs instead of TDs on offense? Requires constant success to fool the defense? And hurts the defense if it works and when it doesn't?

New York is the largest television market in the U.S. Philadelphia is 4th largest. DFW is 5th largest and just happens to be home to America's Team. Washington is the 9th largest television market in the U.S.

If Fox were not hanging their hat on the NFC East, you'd have to wonder what the hell they were thinking. Even if the NFC East is worse this year than the NFC South was last year, no other division in the NFL is likely to draw nearly as much interest.

If Buck, Periera and Aikman keep sounding like hateful hacks during Cowboys games, ima pull a Trump and boycott Fox

I don't recall exactly, but probably.

I'm trying to remember what year this was. The Cowboys-Giants game has been on NBC a few times. Last year, this year and the first year of Jerry World. Although, that may have been ESPN. I totally forgot about "Monday Night Football." Truth be told, though, when "Monday Night Football" moved to ESPN, it lost a lot of its luster.
Unless it involves the Cowboys, I'm not all that amped to watch it. It's like it has been designated to the UHF dial on Channel 63 in the days before cable and satellite.
