He's going to appeal, probably end up a fine.

Blaine Gabbart gets start against Seattle. Kaep ( 1-6 against ) remains on the bench.

Bad Jay cutler shows up early. Good Jay shows up in the 4th quarter. Weird 180.

Kind of the story of his career. I keep waiting for him to figure it out because he's so physically talented but I just don't see it happening.

Phillip Rivers is on track to throw for 5,300 yards.
The Chargers are on track to go 4 and 12.

Bludegeon, Machado...Would you rush ROMO back?

Who said anything about "rushing" him back? He is eligible to return vs Miami. Doctors says the broken collarbone will be healed by that time. So there is no rushing him back. This is not the kind of injury where you wait an extra week to make sure the bone has healed. So when is eligible to return insert him
in the line-up.

Dallas should just tank the season and go for the number one pick.

No they should not. Tanking the season is for losers.
Leave that to the Jags or Browns or Lions

Tanking is also very smart if done correctly. Tanking for one season set up a 20 year Spurs dynasty. I know the leagues are different but be realistic. Dallas could put everything they have into it and possibly make the playoffs where they would get killed in the first game they play. Or they could tank, get a top five pick, and come back next season loaded for bear.

Newsflash: I would rather give everything vs tanking the season.

I'd trade one season for the chance at being great for the next five.

Of course there are many examples of pro teams who tank the season in order
to position themselves for the highest draft pick possible.

My preference would be for Dallas to not tank the season and give everything they have in an effort to make a run(if possible).

I wonder what Sweet Kim charges to hold P13. It's gotta be cheaper if he promises not to snivel on her.

Here is the remaining schedule for Carolina
@ Tennessee
Washington
@ Dallas
@ New Orleans
Atlanta
@ New York Giants
@ Atlanta
Tampa

Not exactly murderers row. I think two losses is reasonable. If I had to guess I'd say Giants and a split with Atlanta.

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.

I remember last year Levi called Jeff Fisher classless or something along those lines when he selected all of the players they drafted with the RG3 deal as captains for their game against the Redskins.

Personally myself I thought it was kind of funny.

And in the "Oh no he didn't file" here's Jeff Fisher's response to Rodney Harrison's criticism of him as a dirty coach:

"I wouldn't say I took things personal, but it was kind of a personal attack on me," Fisher said. "Again, I think you have to consider the source. I saw it last night on the airplane. You're talking about a guy that had a great career. I mean, he played a long time, he was hard to defend, he was a really active defensive player. But this is coming from a guy that had 18 unnecessary roughness penalties, seven personal fouls, four roughing the passer penalties, a total of 77 penalties in his career and was voted three times the dirtiest player in the National Football League and was suspended for a hit, a helmet-to-helmet hit on Jerry Rice in 2002. This is where these comments are coming from. I'll just say this. Since 2000, it's been a privilege and honor for me to be on the competition committee. And our main focus ... is player safety. So for Rodney to come out and say that I did something like that is absolutely absurd."

DAMN! He just more or less told Rodney to STFU!

There's no such thing as fully healed, dipshit. Plus he's looking at two games in like 4 days and he hasn't taken a snap let alone a HIT in how long?
Fuck the doctors, if Dallas loses vs the Buc's this week the team should start thinking about next season, re-injuring ROMO in an already dead season would be machado, I mean stupid.

Ya there's a mess in the division, no 2-6 team has ever made the playoffs but if they lose another game or two depending on the other division teams I'd pull ROMO out AND drop Dez's play time. Both are beat up fragile players who could use a full off season and extra time to get healthy in an almost blown season. Can we just say BLOWN yet?

If Dallas is out of the running why take the risk......."machado" Because not taking risk is for losers!

I'm going to point in your face an laugh if ROMO and/or Dez get injured "YET AGAIN" in a 4-12 season. What's the point?

I see bringing him back but as soon as Dallas is clearly out of the race I'd pull him and Dez and act like it's preseason because ROMO's another injury away from being done and Dez is plagued not to mention his disk problems. Both could use a full off season+ to get healthy not to mention they should play for a draft pick......Like a QB....This is their best shot at a good pick.

Machado - tanking the season is for losers......

Their season is already tanked or a cunt hair from it! You're a moron if you'd play your starters, risk injury just to win the last game of the season to get a meaningless win instead of playing for a draft pick that could change your teams history. You play to win but not with an injury plagued QB and WR in a dead season.

ROMO and Dez have been beat up enough. For now, sure, I'd put ROMO in until they lose another game maybe two but I wouldn't let him finish the season in his frail condition and I'd cut Dez's playing time in half.

UtahRatt · Post by **UtahRatt** » Wed Nov 11, 2015 4:57 am

Dallas mascot Sean Lee said he was feeling good but it's too early to say if he can play Sunday after suffering his second concussion in five weeks. He's going through the concussion protocol now. On 105.3 The Fan in Dallas Jerry Jones said Lee is "probably doubtful" for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay.

Sean Lee is injured again? Amazing. He's already rich, he should quit before he's disabled like most of the labor and steel workers I know.

----------

IRVING, Texas -- Running back Joseph Randle has been suspended four games by the NFL under the league's personal conduct policy, one week after he was released by the Dallas Cowboys.
The NFL announced the suspension Tuesday, it starts immediately, even though he is not on an active roster. How convenient is that?

So, Randle breaks a car window, pulls a gun on his Son's Mother in front of the son and is arrested with Marijuana then is arrested for shoplifting and a year later gets suspended a week after the Cowboys release him?
Tell me there's not some crooked shit going on with Goodell and the owners.

Randle was arrested twice in 4 months. He was arrested for pulling a gun on his Son's Mother and possession of marijuana and last October, Randle was arrested at a Frisco, Texas, mall and charged with shoplifting. He was attempting to steal underwear and a tester bottle of cologne. The Cowboys fined Randle an undisclosed amount, and he later apologized. In July, he was given six months' probation for the incident.

It's great to see the National Felon League finally crack down on Randle....A year later.....A week after he was released from Dallas.

Goodell: Hey Jerry! This is Goodell, I dragged out this Randle case for a year, got any ideas?
Jones: Ya, I'll release him then you can lay down the suspension, how's that sound pardner?
Goodell: Sounds great!
Jones: Fantastic, I'll send y'all a check later in the week!

Are Robert Griffin and Colin Kaepernick the one hit wonders of QB's. RGIII got injured and played for the Skins, I have no clue what happened to Colin. Other then he's gay, but that shouldn't effect his ability to hit an open man.

I haven't watched a 49ers game this year but they sure went down in a hurry. Maybe they should bring back Jim Harbaugh!

Bludegeon · Post by **Bludegeon** » Wed Nov 11, 2015 7:30 am

I don't rush Romo back.

I don't them to necessarily just tank the season either. I have never been one to want any team I root for to tank a season just for a draft pick.

They don't and have not had the firepower on defense to make a legit stand for a Super Bowl appearance.

I mean, even though everyone would say "well, it's only the Bucs" if Dallas wins on Sunday, that would weigh heavily on whether I would rush Romo back. But, it ain't like they are gonna win out with Romo back there. Not like he comes back and then BAM!!! All of a sudden , this team is a world beater. They have a lot of holes on defense still and need to shore it up.

So, I am in the mind of right now of not rushing back Romo. But, that could all probably change if they beat the Bucs. LOL.. It's a tough call for me. It is the same clavicle he broke a couple years back. He is older. I think it is only fractured this time. But, then, I think, why bring him back? This team is not as good as "fans" want to believe.. I heard some fans say that "IF" Romo didn't get hurt, they "could" be 7-1, or, LOL. 8-0.. HUH? What the fuck are they smoking? Squeaking by the Giants in game one and the defense gone to shit in the next 6 of 7 games and they think this?

Only Cowboys fans are so delusional. haha

Sorry, I am all over the place with this. But, no, I don't rush Romo back.

Actually, I would bring Romo back for two games. To beat the fuckin redskins.

PS. In regards to Randle and Lee.

If it were me? My team? Both are done in Dallas.

Kaep is a mystery. He has so much physical talent that I believe what some have said he could be one of the greatest ever. As shown, he has zero football IQ. The great QBs are smart. Kaep is an idiot. Joe Montana is the greatest of all time. By skillset? No. Just he knew what to do to win.

Kaepernick and the 49ers collapse last season was due to injuries. They had no OL and an offensive coordinator that kept calling for Collin to be a pocket passer ( and the reason they lost the Superbowl and I lost a bet to sugarmama ). He kept getting sacked. The kid's got talent, but he hasn't figured out how to use it yet. He has an arm but no accuracy.

Unfortunately I believe the experiment is over and the team needs to move on. He could have been great, but they misused him.

This season the owner ( trustafarian ) ran them into the ground. Ran off Harbaugh ( an asshole but he won ), put his #1 asskisser at coach ( Tomsula ), lost Fangio ( stupid, stupid, stupid ), a bunch of retirements, a #3 ranked defense to a last ranking, and a shitty new stadium in Santa fucking Clara.

Their last game the seats were empty and I hope that continues. Their dynasty was the alltime great so we have that memory. Oh and the SF Giants still kick ass. Suck it.

I can see them losing a couple. That defense is killing it so far. I see Panthers going far in the playoffs. This is so much better than 7-8-1 and much better than I remember them going 2-14. I love this team!

I see them losing to the Saints in NOLA, and splitting with Atlanta. Home field advantage would be nice.

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.
