Technically, no. Because Italy is part of the African continent from the standpoint of plate tectonics.

Italy is not part of the European plate. In fact, all land South of the Matterhorn in the Alps is part of Africa.

You know the football is bad when there is an opportunity for a history and geography lesson.

Bro, that's no laughing matter.

It's why I couldn't get on board when people were trying to give Jerry and crew full credit for getting Dak. He was like the 5th option we wanted for a QB and like the 135th pick. He made them look great but any team could have easily taken him instead, and if many things didn't fall through and Romo and Moore didn't get hurt he'd still be on the bench. It was incredibly lucky.

It is not just smarts.

I bet Osweiler can draw up a play on a dry erase. I bet all lousy QBs can. A lot of them stay around and become pretend coaches.

How they physiologically process is something that I think distinguishes some things. The player can be book smart, draw it all up, but when the bullets are flying, their brains don't work quickly. That is very much an individual talent.

Well, that is what I meant. lol Maybe "smart" was a loose term but I figured you'd pick up what I was putting down.

Shhh.....
Don't say anything to ruin it for Jerry and Garrett homies

The Cowboys really really believed in Dak

The Raiders offense minus Carr is my favorite comedy act.

 

[punchnjudy]

Coming out in the draft, the complaint on Cook was that he had "slow eyes", in other words, went through his progressions too slow and deliberately.

That sack was a result of that. He should have had the ball off. Biggest and most underappreciated quality for a QB is how fast they can think and process.

If I was a Raiders fan, I would be happy if he could just show enough to bring a decent trade. They were cooked after Carr went down anyway.

I'll take luck over what Cook is showing me.

Texans are going to regret that penalty.

 

[Alexander]

That was an incredibly bad penalty.

They didn't give them roughing, which is important.

Of course, but they were going to take Cook if Raiders didn't trade up for him which was weird because they had Carr. The Raiders saved our butts.

 

[revospeed]

I haven't seen a roughing the kicker call in a while. Everything is running into the kicker, no matter what.

At this stage, this is just two bad teams playing a playoff game. That's all it is.

 

[Avery]

Those are the kind of bounces that we never seem to get.

Just like New England got lucky with Brady 16 years ago. I'll take the luck.

 

[mattjames2010]

LOL this game. What a freakin' crap show.

 

[Alexander]

I would pay big money for Osweiler to just cut it out with the fake Manning imitation.

Nobody is impressed.

Quit gyrating and call for the snap.

I can't believe this is the playoffs. Wow. I've seem more intensity in preseason. Game 4.
