- I respect Dan Campbell's teams. Very easy team to get behind. Lions have been darling of NFC for last few years. Normally Cowboys come in banged up this time of year but healthy.
- Philly on Monday Night against Chargers. (My Game) I feel that if Dallas beats Detroit and Philly loses to Chargers, I would predict the Cowboys to win the Division.
- Very impressed with last several wins for Cowboys, coming from behind against last year's Super Bowl Teams. The trade with Jets felt like the Amari Cooper trade during Raiders game. Looks like it is coming to fruition. Team is different this year when facing adversity. No finger pointing. No on putting their head down. They play as a team.
- Bad news is how behind the Cowboys are. But good news is if they do get in the Playoffs, they are on a roll and will be challenging for any opponent.
- Cowboys Defense looked dramatically different than one saw against Arizona. Q is a hell of a player but there are a lot of other moves too. I like the way they are using their personnel that came back, Overshown and Logan Wilson. I think it was a collection of things coming back at right time. I'm a big fan of Coach Eberfluss, he has had some good defensive groups. Wasn't about him not knowing how to coach D, there was a lot more to it.
- Blows me away that people are suggesting Nick Sirianni loses his job. It's as good a first time head coach resume as you'll find. I don't understand the drama. When he first came to Philly he ran the same offense he did with Phil Rivers, but he pivoted and went to run heavy offense. They were off and running the next year. That was their key to success last year too. Other problem is they continue to lose coaches. But that's what happens when you win. Their OCs are now head coaches. Kevin Patullo their OC, I don't put it all on him. I think part of what they do is for Jalen Hurts comfort level. Not a lot of shifts or motions that you see around the league. Not much play action or screen game either. Not much scheme, and not a lot of easy throws, and really about your WRs being able to win on the outside and that's hard when there's not a lot of disguise to what you're dealing. I haven't figured out yet though if it's because of their offense, or because of what Jaylen Hurts is comfortable with. But biggest weakness has been Sequon Barkley this year, just not able to get the runs this year.
- I guarantee you Dak isn't even thinking and just playing when those calls come in. But it's a hard way to play QB when every play you have to fret over down and distance.
- Justin Herbert gets hit a lot. Their offensive line has been decimated with injuries. 9 different combinations in 12 games. Herbert had the hand surgery. Huge game for Chargers next week too trying to keep up with Denver. Will be.a Playoff atmosphere MNF with Philly and Chargers. Don't know yet if Philly will get Chargers with Herbert. Think it's actually good that Philly is on the road. Their fans have been booing them. But Chargers have a hard time getting fans in new location. So we'll see. Called many games where other team had more fans than Chargers.
