At least you get Jacksonville and Buffalo hosting Thursday games in the two following weeks.

Eh...Buffalo and Miami are plenty entertaining and at least Jacksonville/Indy is an opportunity to see Luck. I mean....what the hell is the appeal of SD/KC? Watching Rivers limp away from pressure and struggle to throw passes all the way out of bounds because he has the arm strength of a 13 year old? Watching the only good player on the field get 5 carries because his coach is too busy worrying about his terrible defense? It makes me sick just thinking about it.

what happened to Rivers arm? I don't always remember it being this limp.

It was always weak, I think it's gotten weaker, some disagree......either way, he seems pretty washed up.

I expect Rivers to bounce back from this funk. He's still a top 10 qb in this league. He'll get through this once they get a fresh start in SD.

Lions better get back to .500 and destroy the Jags. They need a complete game

bigbluedefense · 10-31-2012, 10:36 AM

I like that Stafford is developing 4th quarter heroics though. It's a good sign.

The next 2 games are big for the NFC east. I think both the eagles and cowboys need to win 2 in a row to have a chance of staying in the division race. The Giants typically have awful Novembers so they need to win the next 2 to feel comfortable about their place atop the division.

He will bounce back this week, no question.

The Cowboys have won their last 3 games against undefeated teams with at least 7 wins. I still wouldn't favor them to beat Atlanta, but they have a little history on their side.

At this point I've been picking against the Falcons for so long that I stupidly refuse to potentially miss out on their eventual defeat.

Played a pretty good game on both sides of the ball against Seattle, after some early dumb penalties.

I think they'll develope the other receivers more there now that just going to Calvin Johnson all the time might not be the best idea. Interested in seeing how Thomas fits in.

Second quarter was awful defensively and after taking a 21-17 lead they let Seattle have a long drive for a TD in the 4th. Far from complete. They better take care of business at Jacksonville. Detroit at Minnesota next week will be such a big game for the wildcard

Detroit, Minnesota, Seattle, maybe Dallas at the end of the year vying for a playoff spot. Green Bay looks solid for one spot also. Seattle has an advantage over Green Bay and Dallas for wildcards having won head to head matchup but obviously not against Detroit.

You've got this, and the fact that we play the Brownies later in the schedule. Absolutely nothing would be more typical Dallas Cowboys then to beat the Falcons and lose to the Browns by 10+ points.

Jvig43 · 10-31-2012, 02:44 PM

I still totally wish Dez had kept that finger up for .2 more seconds last game. Not because I cared what team won, but because that would have been such an awesome finish and come back (plus hes on my fantasy team haha).

They'd actually hold a lead in the Browns game, but poor clock management would result in them throwing 3 incomplete passes (one of which Dez drops that would have picked up the first down) instead of running the ball, giving Cleveland time to mount the comeback against Dallas' defense that is in the prevent with only 10 men on the field due to confusion. But Dallas would still have a chance until Garrett ices his own kicker.

THAT would be a classic Dallas Cowboys loss.

I remember when people argued nonstop that Rivers>>>>>>>Rodgers ..... it used to be closer yes but not anymore.
