NFL 2012

[Tim McG]

You read it here first: The new OT rules just plain suck

Niners D and Special Teams are a close second.

[Jazzmoose]

It's a great Sunday when the Browns can't possibly lose

That took me a minute...

So much for the Falcons going undefeated in the regular season. Not that I expected that to happen, but it was a damned nice run!

[Jazzmoose]

Is Roethlisberger that good? I mean, take away him (and Timmons, of course!), and the Steelers are the same as the Chiefs??

[paul secor]

The Chiefs are one of those teams that will always find a way to lose.

[PHILLYQ]

Interesting to note that four starting QBs were injured and couldn't complete the games, and three of them were on concussions. I think that besides the 15 yarder for a helmet to helmet hit(not an inadvertant one), the hitter should be ejected from the game.

[Tim McG]

Has there ever been a talented/unbelievably sloppy team like the current Cowboys? Time to cut ties with Romo and Bryant and probably Garrett and change that team. I'm not even a Cowboys fan, but they're just horrible to watch.

I'm old school. I can never get enough Cowboy suffering...

What Jazzmoose said.

[Soulstation1]

Browns will somehow beat the Boys today!!!!

Browns will somehow beat the Boys today!!!!

Looks like you might be right, the Cowboys are playing terrible, and Romo is engaging in some major league whining at players today -- what a loser, it's everyone else's fault be his.

Good Heavens, where did the Browns get the db's, their coverage was terrible. Of course, LA has to go over to the Charger game, so we're not seeing the end of the game and OT.

[Tim McG]

It wasn't pretty.

Dallas lucked out yet another one.

[Chalupa]

Question: Just a few days before Thanksgiving, who last won a game, the Phillies or Eagles?

Answer: Phillies

[Aggie87]

It wasn't pretty.

Dallas' offensive line absolutely stinks. They can't support the run nor can they pass block.

And Jerry Jones is an idiot. That is all.

[JSngry]

Jerry Jones is an idiot.

And not even a useful one.

[Jazzmoose]

Okay, maybe I'm crazy, but look at Cincy's schedule and tell me they can't make a wild card slot.

[Tim McG]

Jerry Jones is an idiot.

And not even a useful one.

And what's the deal with Romo anyway? First he's hot, then he's not.

What gives?

A couple of things, in my opinion:

A. He's always been a wildcatter (like Jerry Jones) who thrives while improvising. Sometimes that works well, sometimes not so well.

B. His offensive line this year is the worst in the NFL. Because of that there's no run game, and there's not much time for him to get passes off cleanly all the time. He got sacked 7 times yesterday, which weren't his fault.

C. His current crop of WRs just aren't that good:

• Dez Bryant had a big game yesterday, but can't be relied on to be where he's supposed to be on a route, ever.
  
• Miles Austin is breaking down physically too much these days.
  
• Ogletree was a flash in the pan, and can't be relied on either, like Bryant.
  
• Witten tryed to play too soon, after lacerating his spleen in the preseason. He wasn't healthy, and couldn't catch the ball. He's finally rounded into shape, but he's not that fast, and doesn't do anything other than go down once he makes the catch these days.
  

D. Jason Garrett makes some strange, very predictable play calls. Not head coach material, let alone offensive coordinator.

Add that all up and it leads to Romo's interceptions, scrambling, sacks, etc.

Gotcha.

But hasn't that been Romo's problem all along? I'm not trying to be a wiseass here, but Romo hasn't had a sterling year since he signed with the Cowboys.

Again...just sayin'.

[Aggie87]

Well, he's 4th all-time in NFL history in Passer Rating (behind Aaron Rogers, Tom Brady, and Steve Young). And he's #1 all-time in the NFL in Net Yards per Pass Attempt. 6th all-time in Pass Completion %. So that means he's played relatively well all things considered.

He's remembered for his mistakes more than what he does well - mainly because he's the Dallas Cowboys QB, and also those mistakes often come in big games.

That's what I'm talking about. The stats are there but the miscues loom large for this guy.

TBH...I just don't get that.

[PHILLYQ]

At 5-5 they're still alive, win a few games and they'll really thrive, lose a few and it's a dive.

[Soulstation1]

Look at how many different rbs have started during Romo's career

It seems like everyone has been injured at some point

I was rooting for the Browns myself(I'm a Giant fan), but I can only imagine how ticked a Browns fan must be.

[Noj]

Way to show up, Dallas. Turkeys have put up a better fight so far today.

[Soulstation1]

We soften those foolzz up for Washington
