2020 NFL Season

[Jack the Stripper]

Disappointing start to the season by the Cowboys. I know they only went down 20-17 to the Rams in L.A but it felt like same old same old watching them today. Poor on defense, questionable play calls and an offense that lacked creativity. In saying that, they got ripped with that pass interference call against Gallup on offense in the dying seconds that at the very least would’ve put them in field goal range to tie the scores and send it into OT.

But in the end, if a questionable call is the deciding factor in a game played in a lackluster manner, then I think that's on the coach and players. If they'd been more decisive earlier on, then the blown call would have meant winning by 4 points instead of 7, something like that. If it's a red-hot barnburner or a defensive slugging match where the teams are giving it their all and that questionable call decides the winner, that's when I get mad at the officiating. But if the Gods of Football are not pleased with the players' performance, they shall send that blown call as a plague upon the team.

Amazing comeback by the Cowboys. Dak was immense as was that field goal at the end to seal the win. But man, the defense needs some work.

Speaking of field goals...Chiefs over Chargers in OT off of a 58 yarder from Butker. Which, for various reasons, was the third kick he had to make on that little play. One 53 yard, and a Chief thought it'd be a good idea to draw a flag. So, second attempt but now at 58 yards. He kicks as the Chargers call a timeout. He make the goal but of course has to do it again. And he did.

At a news conference after the game, he thanked the Chargers for giving him three chances

^^^What drama! Thats what you call clutch.

Atlanta has to deal with the fallout of blowing ANOTHER huge lead... ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch!

Cowboys went down 38-31 in Seattle but I thought they held their own. Offense is getting the job done but again the defense is costing along with the penalty count. Need to start games more aggressively too.

I was listening to guys on a pre-game show saying that both sides had awful defense. That's when I called it would be a high-scoring Dallas loss.  

Gonna be one of those "building years" for the Cowboys, I think.

I was surprised that the Ravens had such a poor outing last night against the best NFL team known to man

Just finished watching the replay now. Ravens were no match for the Chiefs who again are the team to beat this season. Mahomes is in a class of his own...

Looks like I'm a Chiefs fan for this season.

GO KC!

^ Dallas Cowboy fan survival technique, change spots when a losing season is in the works.

Titans and Vikings won't be playing this coming weekend, all the more reason to root for KANSAS CITY!!!

Does Dallas have any defense at all?    Who the heck is Cleveland to be scoring 49 points on anybody?

[Vyn]

^^ no kidding. I realize the Browns have been on an uptick the past couple of seasons, but in their case that means upticking from a putrid shit hole. Dallas had best watch itself or they'll end up there.

ooof that game was rough... pitiful, even...

Good thing I'm a Chiefs fan this year!
