Aggie87 Posted October 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 Hats off to the Pats for the comeback win. Cowboys defense played a great game against Brady & Co, until the last drive of the game. Cowboys look like they're finally getting healthy. May be a force at some point. They don't seem to have much of a running game though, so the WR/TEs are going to have to stay healthy and carry the offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Connecticut born wife was REAL happy about today's outcome between her Pat's and the 'Boys But I don't think the Cowboys are going to roll over and play dead, either. Your D-Coach could use a haircut, though. I mean, the 70s are over, Dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 After the total butt-whoopin' they got last night, Cowboys defensive coordinator Rob Ryan talked to the media and unequivocally said that his game plan sucked, and that the failure to make adjustments as the game went on was all on him. If this kind of honest self-evaluation continues - and if it is sincere - either Ryan will be out of a job, or the Cowboys might actually become the team they pretend to be.

Dave James Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 Any time the Cowboys lose, it's cause for celebration. When they lose to my Eagles who, this past Sunday, knocked them down and took their lunch money, it's even better. Dallas isn't going anywhere until Jerry Jones realizes he's an owner, not a general manager. Good thing he lives in Texas, since it's the only state in the union big enough to accommodate his ego. "America's Team". Please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But tha ego-space is already occupied. However, true megalomaniacs don't let that get in their way. Jones/Palin cage match, anybody? Maybe throw a wild tiger or ten in the cage around Round 3 just to make it interesting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I find Jones to be a alternately a boon (owner) and bane (GM) to the team. He excels at the first, and is absolutely clueless at the later.

He excels at the first, and is absolutely clueless at the later. Even as an owner...I know what you mean, but I think he's gone over the top even as an owner. Cowboys Stadium looks good on TV, but in person, it's just too damn big. Garish, ugly, freakish. The entire Cowboys' culture now is pretty much you're Gonna Love Us Because We're The DALLAS COWBOYS!!! Jones has no concept of anything other than image. And as he's proved more than once that he will put his own vanity over the good of the team if it comes to that. That's poison from an owner, turns him into a pimp instead of the guardian of a legacy. Entirely personal reaction - every time I go to Rangers Ballpark In Arlington, I get a good feeling just walking up to the place. It's got it's own perfect balance between bigness and intimacy, local & universal, extroverted and humble, it's just perfect within itself. And then I look next door at Cowboys' Stadium and automatically think, this is everything that is wrong with Texas, everything that is wrong with sports today, everything that is wrong with America, period. Instant gratification. Style over substance. Nothing that doesn't have a price tag on it, including "goodwill". It's a pimp's world. It's Jerry World. Rob Ryan (Buddy's son!) stepped up and said, yeah, we really sucked and it was all my fault. I nearly shit my pants, hearing such blunt honesty and direct accountability in the name of the Dallas Cowboys. I bet Jerry did too. But probably not for the same reason.

JSngry Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 I liked the Cowboys then. Never cared at all for the Landry/Schramm/Murchison way of doing business, although in retrosepect they were once as brilliant as they became outmoded. Just never liked the image of an organization in Tom Landry's image (which I never liked in itself) when the reality, starting at the top, was totally the opposite. The only thiing that Hollywood Henderson (and before him, Duane Thomas) did was dare to defy the image. Nobody defied the image and lived too long. The Jerry & Jimmy show was a BIG relief when it first hit town. No more pretense, no more hypocrisy, these guys were rolling in, players were openly drinking beer after practices, Jimmy was cussing players in practice in front of everybody, it was LIVE, it was real, and DAMN was it fun! But it didn't last. Jerry wouldn't let it last. And now, Jerry's way is just as false and failed as was the old Cowboys. But unlike Clint Murchison & Bum bright, he'll never sell the team. So, we're stuck. Well, Cowboys fans are, anyway. I'm so not there any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 The best record in the NFL is currently held by the 49ers. That's something I didn't expect at this point in the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GA Russell Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 I thought the Packers have the best record. Still, it was a surprise to me when I noticed a week ago how well the Niners are doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHILLYQ Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Packers still undefeated, 49ers have one loss. Don't know how many folks got to see it, but the Giants/Pats game was excellent! Scoreless at the half, lead changes in the 4th quarter and just when it looke dlike the pats had the game the Giants score late and win. I'm a Giant fan and I was high in the 3rd quarter as the Giants looked great, low in the 4th as the Pats tied and went ahead, then finished on a high as the Giants won. Jet fans were also very happy at the result. A great game for football fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Somehow I missed the Packers record when I was looking at standings. I still think it's fairly impressive that they've only had one loss so far, nice to see the 49ers with a winning record. That Ravens/Steelers game was intense! Real fun to watch.

Ravens/Steelers was a hard-hitting game and very intense. I thought the Steelers had it in in the bag but the Ravens made some big plays at the end.
