Quote from: jimc on January 15, 2024, 07:23:08 AMHow sad that we (including myself if it's the Eagles) are relegated to revel in the misfortune of others.

Eagles fans are worse than Dallas fans. I revel in Eagle losses.

Quote from: MightyGiants on January 14, 2024, 08:25:56 PMFor a long, long time, it has seemed like Dallas is usually one of the most talented teams in the league. They do quite well in the regular season, and then they get bounced quickly in the playoffs.  Why do you think that it keeps happening?

I'll take the 12 wins for three years. Every win is a good day. But to answer the question, they come to play with a passion for some games and other games they are flat. Look at their schedule. They usually feast on bad teams and play close to good teams. I think some of it falls on Prescott who has great games and folds under pressure. He had opportunities today to come back and he missed seeing open Receivers. I felt that if Aaron Rodgers was in the game, Dallas at least comes a lot closer.

I think he needed another year at the college level but at Michigan it's not going to help him unless that Offense changed. Late first or early second and hopefully he gets in a good situation.

Quote from: Arodgers12 on December 12, 2023, 12:04:12 AMI wanted to show my face after and say Congratulations on the win!

Congratulations!

I completely get it and I don't disparage anyone for hating the Cowboys or Jerry Jones.

I would guess if you asked Giants fans which team they hate the most, the Dallas Cowboys would top the list.

Most of their fans can travel poorly and are obnoxious and boorish in our house. They have a good percentage of fans who are fair weather and bandwagon. If you're a casual fan, you pick the guys in the white hats. Even the bragging, Texas Style with the "How 'bout dem Cowboys", can get under the skin of other teams fans.

If you can look past that, the franchise has a rich history of great teams and great players and coaches.

Some hate Jerry Jones because he's an involved owner who's a billionaire and it's easy to hate the owners because the perception is that they're greedy. But he built one of the best Stadiums in the League and he packs the team with talent. Passionate and by far... their biggest fan.

I gotta feel sorry for the man. Again embarrassed and this time in his own house. He's getting up there in age and although he doesn't change his HC's as impulsively as most owners, I don't see Mike McCarthy surviving this year.

I was able to watch the Miami- KC game on my phone via the NFL game day subscription that I have. It wasn't available on TV streaming.

Im done with losing.   There is a reason these other HCs dont wallow in losing or building losing cultures.  A reason they are chasing Don Shula and not chasing Joe Judge.  Schoen/Daboll are emlulating Joe Judge so far

Can they get back on track?  Not with Jones at QB.  There is a 80% likelihood Jones will lead us back to a losing record.

I dont care how much money he is owed.  The position can be upgaded by just motioning DeVito to put his helmet on

Did you ever see the Seinfeld episode where George does and says the complete opposite of what he would normally do?

Eventually you will get your predictions right. It's the law of averages.

Quote from: MightyGiants on January 14, 2024, 10:19:49 AMIt's hard to say.  I will say that I personally believe that draft success is 50/50.  Half of it is talent identification and acquisition and the other half is player development.  The problem is that from the outside looking it, one is challenged to see what is causing/contributing to a prospect's success or failure.

What players that remained or left had an upswing in production from the Joe Judge regime to the Daboll team and as FA's that moved on? It's obvious Dex did as he was put in his proper position. Okereke had a better year here. Some of the O line who left faired better. Jones was up and down. Saquon, had injury issues. Slayton did better as did Engram away. The O line regressed with the exception of Thomas. Adoree went downhill. Can you compare the PFF Judge results total Offense and Total Defense to the two years of Daboll? Not player by player just total O&D separately for each of the four years. You can include special teams. Would we assume there are better players for Daboll? I think in some cases yes and some no.
