Thoughts about this match-up in week 2??

[Peterbilt]

Got a feel for what you're expecting at Arrowhead on Sunday yet? I have a feeling Romo is going to have a long day, if he even finishes the game at all. The Chiefs pass rush is for real.

I know nothing about KC. Haven't read up on them yet. Was planning on doing so today and tomorrow.

A strong pass rush vs the Dallas O-Line is not a good match up for the Cowboys.
Establishing the running game might go a long way to protecting Romo and keeping that pass rush at the line of scrimmage.

How is the KC Offense?

Difficult to measure how well KC is because Jax is the worst team in football.

Well, the offense is competent. That's about as far as I'll go on that side of the ball. O-line is pretty good. Smith is a game-manager, everybody knows that. Jamaal Charles already got a little banged up last week and had to leave the game. Bowe didn't do much last week, but he's a threat of course. Donnie Avery caught one of the TDs last week. If Smith gets fixated on throwing to Dexter McCluster at all, you'll be fine. McCluster sucks.

Don't know if the Cowboys will be able to run too much either. Dontari Poe, KC NT is a monster, and he was like a one man wrecking crew out there last week. Derrick Johnson will be making a ton of tackles as usual. I know this was against Jax, but the style the defense played was more telling to me than the amount of plays they made. They were attacking all day. Never let up.

I'm hoping the Redskins win.

[Bludegeon]

And, please, enough with the fucking "fast offense" by Chip Kelly's eagles.. Good grief..

Didn't we go through this shit before? Some will remember Steve Spurrier right? And his "awesome" offense?

Yeah, he had a great great first game in his first NFL coaching job. Got a win. Looked convincing.. Everybody , all the scumbag hack sports reporters.., were on this guy's jock.

What happened after?

The rest of the season and I think 2 years later or so. Spurrier was out of the NFL..


He had a "new, exciting, great offense" too.. Fuck all that.

And?

The fuck is the point trying to be made here?

Trying to compare one dumbass play to fuckhead ex coaches and journalists being all over someone's jock because their "offense" is the newest thing?

Get outta here.
Try again.

Back on topic. TNF tonight. Is Sexy Rexy gonna have a legit team? Or does Belichick and Brady put the J-E-T-S back in their place?

Direct TV install is this Saturday. So far this season I've listened to every evening game on radio (Westwood One) and now I'm wondering why I decided to get DTV?? I love football on the radio!!!

The point that is trying to be made is that no matter what a Cowboys fan says about anything relevant to the game in 2013 they have the albatross around their neck known as Tony Romo for a long time (along with that botoxed asshole Jerry Jones). Enjoy the losing.

Geno isn't looking horrible, just had a TD called back on a review that I'd say was wrong. Geno looks ok for rookie with half the rep's in the preseason and he's still better then their options with Mark Burrito.

Brady can lead anyone down the field but there's going to be some miscues for sure.

The Pat's should win this by 10.

[UtahRatt]

Jet's VS The Pat's = More dropped passed then an XFL game. Geno hasn't impressed me much but the Jet's might be leading if they'd caught some balls. The Pat's look flat in the same manor, Brady can hit WR's all day long for 3 yard gains.

Without a running game and no WR's the Pat's are no longer a team to be concerned about.

Jets win that game if anybody other than Smith was playing. Even Sanchez could have pulled that one out. I've never seen the Pats look that bad in the Brady era. I know they've got a lot of injuries but that team doesn't look like much of a threat so far. Miami and Buffalo have got to be smelling blood in the water.

Mark might have won but if Geno is your future then you stick with him? He has a slow delivery and was slow in his reads but what really hurts a Rookie is your WR's dropping balls. He didn't have one set of hands to count on. A few more catches would have let them continue to run the ball. One good thing the Jets came walked away with. They had some good drives, time of possession and a solid defensive performance stopping Brady on 3rd down and held The Pat's to a total of 232 yards. Jets had 4 turn overs and lost by 3.

Both are bad teams but the Pat's are a bigger surprise. They might have 2 wins but I'd be worried.

[NeverSurrender]

Nothing better than watching 300 pound men slap each other in their facemasks.

We are seeing some ugly football this season so far. Never seen anything like it. Even Tom Brady is lost.

And wtf is the Jets coaching staff doing? Throwing the ball out of their own end zone at the end of the 1st half and letting a rookie qb throw it all over the field?

[sin]

I'm not quite ready to pronounce the end of the Patriots dynasty after two games, but it sure is starting to look that way.

A healthy Gronk and Hernandez and we might not even need to know the names of the Patriots' wideouts, but no team can lose those two AND Welker, and expect anybody short of Genghis Khan to lead them to too many victories. If any team can improve though, they will.

Hey, guess what, yesterday was Thursday, today is Friday. Tell me something I don't already know..

They have Romo for 2-3 years, tops. I can deal with that. Then, more losing after until the next debacle of a QB they get. Still my team.

No point was made besides the obvious of the greatest "OWNER" in the NFL owns the Cowboys, yet the shittiest GM is with the Cowboys..

So, try again. Better yet, don't.

Brady is in serious need of someone to be able to catch the ball, other than the midget last night. A running game would help too.

[NeverSurrender]

I think their dynasty ended years ago. They've been just another good team in the league the last few years, imo.

[WTF]

That game last night was the ugliest one I may have ever seen. I have seen some great low-scoring games where the defenses just absolutely kick ass. There was decent defense last night, but both offenses were just atrocious. As much as losing Welker hurt, I think losing Woodhead was an even bigger loss (in addition to the multitude of injuries).

It ended in 2008. They have still been an elite team, but not a dynasty.

[Crazy Levi]

Well maybe that "elite team" shit is over as well.

Brady can't do it all by himself. And that defense has had its hands full with the Jets and the Bills, who might be two of the worst offenses they'll face all year.

Semantics. They've been in the thick of it for a decade, but yeah, they don't look to be much more than a speed bump this year. That division sucks though and they're still leading it. That said, I think I'd be feeling pretty good about things if I was a Miami fan.

They are lucky they have an easy schedule this year. Buccaneers, Browns, Steelers, Panthers, Jets, Bills. But come time for Denver and Houston they will be screwed, unless Belichick finds a way to fix the offense, if anyone can do it, it's him.

QFT. Jones is just a really rich guy that can't put his ego aside enough to stay out of the way. He's arguably the worst owner in the NFL IMO. He just got lucky enough to buy an iconic franchise.

No Jerry Jones fan, but he is not the worst owner.

Whoever owns the Raiders now gets that title.

Old Al left that franchise a disaster. I think his kid owns it now. I give him a temporary pass just because its been so recent. If they're still a disaster in 3 years, I might agree with you.

And what exactly has that owner done to make him "the worst"?
