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

You gotta get HFA so you don't have to play in Seattle. And the Cowboys will have a chance to wrap that up next week. The Hawks are a different team on the road. They were getting healthy too, but losing Earl Thomas tonight is gonna hurt.

I want us to have HFA adv too, but honestly going there doesn't bother me much. I actually think a game in bad weather (rain, wind, cold etc etc) enhances our chances of winning more because it helps negate some of the other team's passing ability against us. Plus we went up there in 2014 when they were a better team and beat them, so we know it can be done.

That would definitely be the ideal scenario. I don't think the Jets would be that dumb but I wouldn't put anything past the Jets. And I do think that there will be a QB or two that climbs the draft board. At this point last year Wentz was being projected as a 3rd round pick. I saw a couple mocks that had Dallas taking Wentz in the 2nd round. So there is a QB right now that no one is talking about that will end up being a top 10 pick.

It's why I call it the "New York Jest."

The way it seems to be shaping up it doesn't appear there will be any bad weather games in the NFC Playoffs this year. All of the teams likely to make the playoffs play in a dome except the Giants, and they will be on the road the entire playoffs.

Seattle doesn't play in a dome though. And it can be cold, windy and rainy up there in January for sure.

I don't want Tyron Smith playing in Seattle. Dude was skittish as shit in Minny.

So what is the plan? Run Chaz Green out there and hope he doesnt have a boo boo?

No. HFA.

?

he only had one false start. Free, otoh, was responsible for Dak's blindside fumble, a sack before halftime and a hold that erased a big Zeke run.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Still. Don't want a repeat of that shit.

I didn't really notice any struggles he had. What plays are you referring to?

 

[dbair1967]

No. HFA.

HFA doesn't make a difference for Tyron Smith. He erases players wherever he plays.

Part of Minnys Dline success pressure was the Dallas plays were not quick window plays that Linehan has been using. It's like Dallas was again out to prove they can Coryell. If Dak drops back and doesn't have the ball out in 3 secs, it's a foolish and dangerous gamble. Ray Lewis was on Cowherds show extolling the virtues of the Dallas O-line and every example he gave was for run blocking. This charade that Dallas is the 1980 San Diego Chargers has got to end.

Dallas dictates now. They have no reason to sit back and see what happens when they can just run them over.

Pete Carroll on Earl Thomas:

Pete Carroll was asked if Earl Thomas has any shot of playing this season. "No. No shot. It's going to take longer than that," Carroll said. "He's got a serious recovery that he's got to go through, and it's going to take awhile." Steven Terrell will replace Thomas for the rest of the year.

Get ready. Penalties galore will reign on us Sunday night. its a virtual lock. if any of our guys so much even sniffs OBJ the flag is gonna fly.

Giants want clarification on calls against OBJ

The New York Giants and coach Ben McAdoo are in need of some clarification about several calls made by the officials in Sunday's 24-14 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Jordan Raanan
ESPN Staff Writer

Ben McAdoo says "there were a few times yesterday that [Beckham] may have been interfered with." He says the team will have "plenty of use" this week of the process of sending plays to the league for explanations.

 

[dbair1967]

But he'll be ultra disciplined against us Sunday night I bet.

Jordan Raanan
ESPN Staff Writer

Ereck Flowers is now tied for third in NFL with 12 penalties after two on Sunday vs. Steelers. Eight are for holding. It's a problem. Josh Norman still leads league with 15.

Sounds like no issue for JPP playing SNF:

There was optimism last night with JPP's injured groin that it was not anything serious. MRI on Monday though.
