This is uncharted water for Panther fans. We've had some pretty good teams before, but have never been the favorites to win the conference. I just hope they haven't peaked too early.

I feel sorry for any Cinderalla team this season, as your ugly step sister the Patriots are just gonna end up ruining the Ball. It's hopeless.

It's not like they haven't done it to us before.

Holy fuck.

I'd actually forgotten the Panthers had been in a Super Bowl.

I'd actually forgotten the Panthers had been in a Super Bowl.

I'll never forget it. Aruba, buckets of beer, probably around 80 Patriot fans and 6-10 Panther fans. No assholes, just fun back and forth and a game to match.

It's all fuckin coming back to me.

Another great Redskins player who was chased away by Dan Snyder helped power Carolina to the SB, Stephen Davis.

Is this funny or is this classless? Rex Ryan has elected that former Jets player that broke Geno Smith's jaw as a co captain for their upcoming game against the Jets.

Well we know Rex Ryan has no class so I'd have to say that's pretty fucked up.

Jeff Fisher's response to Rodney Harrison is pretty fucking funny tho.

Here's the thing...Rex ALREADY trolled the Jets when he signed that guy in the first place a couple days after he broke Geno's jaw. So to do it again with this move just seems kind of like beating a dead horse. What's he gonna do next, have this guy move in next door to Geno's house in the offseason?

Enough already.

Bills 22 Jets 17
Bills' defense delivers win for Rex Ryan in showdown against Jets.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Jilted by the Jets, Rex Ryan got even.

Thanks to his pride and joy, the defense, Ryan's return to the Meadowlands was a successful one Thursday night. That defense shut down Ryan's former team for much of the game, and the Bills scored on offense and special teams in a 22-17 victory over New York.
Ryan was fired by the Jets after six seasons and immediately hired by Buffalo last January. His defense had two interceptions, recovered a fumble and stopped the Jets inside the Bills' 10 in the final minutes -- prompting some vigorous fist pumps Ryan repeated, along with a flying headset, when Bacarri Rambo clinched it with a last-minute pick.

Cowboys star Dez Bryant goes on tirade directed at reporters.
Star wide receiver Dez Bryant left the Cowboys' locker room after going on a tirade directed at members of the press.

Dez Bryant left the locker room Thursday during the open media access after a prolonged rant aimed at reporters.

Initially, Bryant was upset about a story written last week by ESPN's Jean-Jacques Taylor. The two exchanged words before wide receiver Devin Street attempted to get involved. Street then claimed Taylor used a racial epithet.
Taylor, who is black, denied using the slur. Three others present in the locker room said that Taylor did not use a racial epithet.

"Busting out the race card........Can Dallas go a game, a week or even an interview without getting into drama. It's a fucking soap opera. Like sands in the hourglass."

@RobertKlemko
Dez Bryant just blew up on reporter, went on 10-min rant. "Until they stop disrespecting this team I don't give a f---. Mother------- sick!"

After the media access was over, Bryant responded on Twitter:
"Yeah, I blew up on the media but report why I blew up on ya'll ... Saying I don't give f--- about me and calling players n----- is not professional."

Dez came back again with......

Dez Bryant
@DezBryant
If you going to tell something tell the whole thing...I'm done with the situation... I hope everyone is having a great day

Then after Dez said he was done with the situation he came back yet again...

Now I guess I'm the bad Person??? The Media comes in our locker room with no restrictions....I guess they can say whatever and it's cool...Let me remind all of you.. WE ARE HUMANS AS WELL..WITH FAMILIES....we have to live with a lot of false talk about us....I chose to stand up for me and what I represent......I'm so sorry if a lot of you can't handle being talked to direct.

-------------

If Dez is the one who went off over something said, throws a tantrum in the locker room, comes back, leaves again then goes on twitter three times after he say's he's done....I'd say he's the one with the problem of not being talked to direct.

[Bludegeon]

If I were Dallas Management. I would take the fines and close off my locker room to the media.

They know these players are beyond pissed. Why feed em to the dogs? LOL...

I know how I am feeling after this fucked up season. I can only imagine the anger in that locker room.


Yes, I guess I am siding with Dez. NOT for the reason you think though.. lol

Jaque Taylor is a hack, always has been a hack. He makes Mickey Spagnola look decent. Now, that is hard to do. lol I can't stand either..

[UtahRatt]

Hack or not I knew machado but I guess I'm kind surprised with you siding with Ryan Leaf......I mean Dez.

I don't think there's one likable person on Dallas..........Witten.......?

This team is out of control like a bunch of cry babies.

Forget the locker room they can't even handle their twitter accounts. This week alone Hardy goes bipolar then Dez pulls the I'm done.......Then comes back with a full on bitch fest.

This team isn't any different then the rest yet they are, they're running wild.

[Crazy Levi]

Andrew Luck out 2-6 weeks with a lacerated kidney and ab tear.
I wonder what Sweet Kim charges to hold P13. It's gotta be cheaper if he promises not to snivel on her.

Andrew "the next Tom Brady" Luck...well lookee fuckin here he's fallin apart before our eyes.

Maybe it has something to do with that shitty line. Maybe it has something to do with him passing 60 times a game.

Regardless, I think his crowning might have been a bit premature. Are the Colts now going to tank the rest of this lost season so they can draft Luck's replacement? It's kind of their M.O. Though truth be told, the way Luck has been chucking INTs this season they may be better off with a wise old sage like Hasslebeck.

Dez Bryant is a fucking asshole and a nutjob. There's probably about 10 players yellin "Nigga!" at any given moment in that locker room and he's gonna take to twitter and accuse a member of the media of dropping N-bombs on him? What a cheap fucking shot to try to get some sympathy. Might as well have accused the reporter of being a pedophile.

I don't remember the last time the Cowboys were such a fucking mess. I love 'em for it, keep making the always dysfunctional Redskins look good you jackasses.

[UtahRatt]

All this Hardy, Dez, the team and everyone crying is making me sick. But it's fucking funny. BOOOOOOHOOOOO WE'RE LOSING. OMF WHAT'S THE WORLD COME TOO.

News flash, instead of losing in December you started early. Crybabies.

I hope they win vs Tampa, pull a game or two out with HOMO, get somewhat back in a race while Dez and HOMO get beat up even more and finish 5-11.

Dezter also had to toss in, were human too and have families!
Not to mention the 4 other people there who denied the reporter said anything racist in the first place.
Dallas is a hot fucking mess, it helps when all their reports are coming from their dysfunctional players instead of Opie Garrett. Their coach is like the little guy in the room being ignored saying "excuse me, excuse me" trying to get attention. Fucking Ginger Coach, no wonder they have no leadership or control.

Well they do have a leader, Jerry Jones said Hardy is a LEADER right after the pictures of the woman he beat up came out.

[Bludegeon]

Utah.

Having played football before like you have said. A six game losing streak and the frustration of the season going to shit. This is bound to happen. I am not sure I know of too many players that would be happy go lucky , everything is awesome WE ARE LOSING.. YAY!!!..

I don't think it's been handled correctly one bit, I agree with ya. I was just relating to the frustration and anger the players might have.

It could definitely be handled better, that's why I stated that if I were the FO, I am taking the fines and locking up my locker room. Fuck the NFL and the microscopic media.. Twitter , Facebook, these are dumbass tools for actors, athletes, rock stars to have.. IMO..

Utah is from the awful state where the citizens like to project everything is great, when it certainly is not.
Utah did not play football. He wore tight shorts and ran onto the field to give the players or ref's a water break. Shit, he might have gone the extra mile and wiped off their chins for good measure. But since he is challenged intellectually, Utah might have worn a helmet for his safety.

[Gritt]

So Matardo, that Saints team that is on fire that beat your Cowboys are looking pretty good today. You see the team that is slapping the shit out of the on fire Saints?

[johnk5150]

How on earth were the Bears such heavy dogs against St Loiis?

Forget get the shitty on fire Saints......How bout dem Buc's!

How bout Greg Hardy getting into another fight with a teammate?

What the fuck are you babbling about...Awful state....wore tight shorts...Have you gone completely mental or are you crying? I think you're squirting out some.

7 games and counting bitch, lost to the fucking Buc's in the last minute of the game! How does that make you feel?

Tampa Bay Buccaneers 10 DALLAS 6


If only your back up QB could lose as many games as he loses..........Wait. They have!

[UtahRatt]

How bout Greg Hardy getting into another fight with a teammate?

Hardy treats his teammates like his women. He's just showing his great leadership and passion for the game!

Tell um machado, it's normal for teammates to fight every week when that team is full of undisciplined prima donnas running wild and no backbone in the coaching staff let alone an owner who supports abuse.

[Bludegeon]

The inmates are running the asylum in Dallas.


Sit Romo, play out the rest of the season with shitbird # 2 or 3.. No difference. Hardy or Dez pitch anymore fits. Bench them.


So fucking sick of this team .

[eddie lee roth]

It's just that 1st place schedule that's giving the Cowboys the fits.

[AliceManson]

Manning benched.

[Gritt]

The GOAT sticks it to a Manning again. I love it.

[Kamikaze_Russo]

Manning benched.

In the next week, we're going to get the... "Manning has an injury and might miss a week or two."

It gives them time to see what they got with Osweiler... and also allows Peyton time to rest his noodle arm.

If Brock lights the offense up, Manning's "injury" will then become a little more serious.

Osweiler will get "injured" right before the playoffs.

This will give Peyton the opportunity to choke again.

[UtahRatt]

How bout Greg Hardy getting into another fight with a teammate?

Greg Hardy 1 tackle, 3 fights!

I caught Hardy's pencil fight with his teammate but missed his antics with Winston AND going after the fans! I also missed Dez having yet another a tizzy fit this time with his QB. Talk about a bunch of bitches.

I love the video.
WATCH: Greg Hardy takes on Buccaneers fans during Cowboys' loss
http://www.foxsports.com/nfl/story/dall ... -10-111515

Cowboys defensive end Greg Hardy just can't seem to stop bringing negative attention to himself. "AND THE FUCKING TEAM"

This time, in the fourth quarter of Dallas' Week 10 loss to the Buccaneers, Hardy found time to yell at Tampa Bay fans and then Bucs quarterback Jameis Winston.

Hardy finished the Cowboys' 10-6 loss with just one tackle -- a tackle for loss -- zero quarterback hits and zero quarterback sacks. It was arguably his worst game as a Cowboy, and he once again allowed his frustration to show.
Earlier in the game, Hardy got into a sideline altercation with teammate and fellow defensive end Demarcus Lawrence and had to be separated.

----------------------------------

What excuse is it going to be this week, Jones? Still can't believe he called him a leader in the same breath as the pictures of the woman he beat up.

machado, just normal stuff that happens eh? Jackass.
Said it from fight ONE in training camp, said it after his first sideline fight, how do you look now? Like an idiot who don't know shit as usual!
The coaches should have put a stop to it. Instead they let it continue, JONES defended Hardy's actions and it's flushed the team down the toilet. A month later and the team is acting like out of control toddlers and lost to fucking Tampa with a minute left! What was it an OT melt down last week?

I think it's funny as hell, even better when you was defending it.

Doesn't the league have the ability to discipline Hardy with his helmet off on the field taunting the fans?
I'm surprised Dallas didn't take Hardy's Twitter away over the weekend let alone get away with his shit today without a benching.....Remember his fight in Training Camp....Machado.....That stuff happens!

And keeps on happening apparently. HOW BOUT DEM BOYS!?

Jimmy Johnson: Cowboys' problem is players don't have to answer to Jason Garrett

http://www.foxsports.com/nfl/story/jimm ... ant-111515


"When I was there all the players looked to me and they understood that I was going to either cut them or keep or fine them... they had to answer to me," Johnson said on 'FOX NFL Kickoff' on Sunday. "Now they don't really have to answer to Jason Garrett. They have to answer to Jerry Jones. I think in some ways (Jerry Jones) is an enabler.
The Cowboys are in the midst of a six-game losing streak and numerous locker room distractions have surfaced this season. Dez Bryant, who missed five games with a foot injury, has come back to play in the last two losses, but this week exploded on a reporter during a media session.

Bryant and Greg Hardy got into it on the sideline during a loss at the Giants three weeks ago, as well, but Hardy's tumultuous offseason has also cast a pall over the Cowboys season.

In addition, during the loss to the giants, what precipitated the Bryant/Hardy encounter was the defensive end knocking a clipboard out of special teams coach Rich Bisaccia's hands.


"That wouldn't have happened" if Johnson were coach, he said.


--------------------------------------------------

Not since Jerry Jones purchased the team in 1989 have the Cowboys experienced a seven-game losing stretch. Never before in the franchise's 56-year history has Dallas lost four straight games when leading at one point in the fourth quarter.

Both came to pass after the Cowboys did themselves in once again.

But don't blame replacement Matt Cassel entirely for Dallas falling short. Wide receiver Dez Bryant, who had a key third-down drop on the Cowboys' previous possession, made no attempt to catch a deep Cassel pass that was intercepted by Bucs safety Bradley McDougald in the end zone to seal Tampa Bay's victory.
Romo looked on helplessly from the sideline Sunday as the Cowboys collapsed again. He was wearing a blue shirt bearing one of head coach Jason Garrett's mottos -- fight.


Garrett's motto, FIGHT!

[UtahRatt]

Was the Lions vs Packers game almost the most incredible insane and unbelievable finish ever?

To come back with all those little battles, the onside kick then....Talk about a lame duck kick.

Arizona 39 Seattle 32

Palmer tried to make it a close at the end but Seattle....Another loss, 4-5. If they don't make the playoffs....I still say they do....Maybe.
Carson Palmer is almost having a better second half of his career. Comeback player of the year for sure.
