I'm very skeptical of that 4-6 weeks report in the first place. Do we even know what bone was it?

When it happened, just from the shots on the sideline, I was worried it was a foot and not an ankle. Foot problems always seem like they're hard to heal. And are easy to re-aggravate.

Haha, no, of course not. I knew we were going to win that game when the Giants couldn't get more than 6 ahead. I was telling my buddies that if the Giants don't score a TD here, they *will* lose, I don't care if there are 25 seconds left. Said it before and I'll say it again, I never have understood the "Romo as fourth quarter choker" storyline, because I *always* expect us to win in those situation. How can people doubt Romo? The only way is that for some reason they only remember the few times he hasn't come through in those situations and forget the other 10 or 12 or 15 times he has. But to me odds are always great that we're going to march down the field and win exactly like happened.

In fact we were all wondering what was up with our game plan all day? It seemed like everything was within 8 or 12 yards of the LOS. Why didn't we ever go down the field at all? I don't mean bombs, but some intermediate stuff. It took a desperation situation and Tony just winging it to open up on those last two drives -- just like we've seen so many times.

Stopped reading after the third sentence but I'll just assume either your or one of your friends ended up with your moms favorite houseplant on your head.

Joseph Randle's lack of speed and size really showed up on a few runs. He wasn't quick enough through the hole and was consequently brought down by arm tackles on a couple of occasions.

A little disappointing. I thought he was too quick to cut back. He needs to follows his blocking a little more. He did show he can catch the ball out of the backfield. The whole running back by committee feels weird.

Now they are saying Leary is out 1-3 weeks.

The La'el Collins era begins.....

That's what Broaddus was saying at end of preseason, that Bernadeau would be the first injury replacement at G.

I kinda wonder if they'd start him though, they don't have another backup C/G so maybe they'd leave him in that role and start Collins instead.

What kind of bullshit call is that? Blocking before the pass...? Are you fucking kidding?

And Roddy White looks like a linebacker.

Pretty impressed with how Dan Quinn has coached the Falcons. They look much improved.

Totally outplaying the genius coached Eagles so far.
