2016 NFL Week #13: Dallas Cowboys (10-1) @ Minnesota Vikings (6-5)

And Bucs winning. Hopefully they keep it up and bounce Washington out of the playoff picture.

Bucs could end up winning the NFC South. They've already split with the Falcons.

Tampa has some impressive wins last three weeks. At KC, Seattle and then on road in San Diego. They will be a tough game for us.

With the Giants losing, a win by us next week at NYG clinches NFC east.

We'll also clinch a 1st rd bye if Seattle or Detroit lose. (Seattle plays Carolina tonight and is at Green bay next Sunday. Detroit hosts Chicago so highly unlikely they will lose)

 

[dbair1967]

If playoffs started now, Tampa would be 6th seed. Washington out.

Dallas and Seattle 1 & 2. Detroit 3, Atlanta 4.

NYG at Atlanta, Tampa at Detroit.

JPP had 7 sacks and 8 passes defensed plus 3 forced fumbles.

If he cant go next week that'd be a big boost for us for sure, especially since he'd be lining up on Free virtually every down.

 

[Mr.Po]

WTH Carolina?

JPP had 7 sacks and 8 passes defensed plus 3 forced fumbles.

thats for the season right?

 

[dbair1967]

thats for the season right?

Yep. 5 or 5 1/2 of those sacks came in the two previous games I think.

 

[dbair1967]

WTH Carolina?

They are gonna get rolled tonight by Seahags it appears.

They are gonna get rolled tonight by Seahags it appears.

What was the deal with Newton not starting?

 

[dbair1967]

What was the deal with Newton not starting?

Reportedly broke some minor team rule or something

 

[dbair1967]

This is what we have to look forward to next week. Almost a 100% certainty we see a similar officiating stat line next week, if not even worse.

And the Giants are complaining about this?

The Steelers were penalized 12 times for 115 yards. The Giants four times for 24. I'm not wasting much time listening to Giants complaints about officiating.

And right on cue after I post this, Wilson throws a pick and Panthers score 50+ yd TD to make score 10-7

Jeff Fisher signed a two year extension.

Fisher must have photos of Kroenke banging a goat. All week long after the Dickerson episode when asked about job security Fisher kept saying he had a good relationship with the owner. WTF does that mean? Are you blowing him? Kroenke is just another money grubber building a real estate empire. He could give two shits about the Rams or their fans, and renewing Fisher should have made that blatantly obvious.

 

[Mr.Po]

Earl Thomas injury didn't look good.

That may be a season ender regarding his knee.

Seahawks safety Earl Thomas is questionable to return after suffering a lower leg injury with 10:40 left in the second quarter. Thomas collided with teammate Kam Chancellor on the play. He was carried off the field by members of the Seahawks' medical staff and later carted off.

Packers are surging. Can make things very interesting in the next couple of weeks.

Since the T-Day game with the Redskins, the officiating has gotten worse. I fully expect this Giants game to be the tipping point. If for anything to help the Giants keep ground for one of the WC spots.

What about LB's? I'm really hoping they can find a stud MLB in this next draft.

Top priority has to be pass rush. Jerry should consider doing what ever it takes to get Myles Garrett after putting up big numbers in the SEC on one leg all year. Cowboys scouts have been credentialed at two UCLA games this year. Gotta think they are looking hard at Tak McKinley should he be there when they pick.

Tampa game flexed to Sunday night.

 

[theoneandonly]

Tampa game flexed to Sunday night.

That is strictly about ratings. Cowboys are the only team guarenteed to get viewers anymore. Cowboys have been in four of the top five rated games this year. That has to be a little un nerving to the other owners. If they dont want to give money back to the networks, they gotta do what they gotta do.
