Early games Open Thread

I will sing your praises if you win, and try not to gloat too much if we do ;)

i loved that a) leRon McClain recorded the longest rushing TD allowed in Texas Stadium history, during its last game
b) that the one thing Wade Phillips supposedlyw as good at blew up two drives in a row
c) that the fans booed romo… ahhhh… ahhh feels so good!
d) i still hate tashard choice.

Here is great stuff from Jason Cole of Yahoo! Sports.

Baltimore (10-5) turned Dallas owner Jerry Jones’ hope for a homecoming event into a wake. It was Jones who, according to stories going around the NFL, requested of the league that Baltimore be the visiting team in this game rather than one of the "tougher" teams such as the New York Giants, Philadelphia or Washington.

I love it. Remind anyone of JJ offering NFC Championship Game tickets to his players last year before the Cowboys played the Giants? LOL!

I am listening to WFAN, snow is expected damn near everywhere, what a great day to have NFL Sunday Ticket.

And if anyone knows better please correct me.

Dallas and Philly both need one loss from Atlanta and Tampa in order for the Eagles-Cowboys game to mean anything next week. Atlanta plays the Vikes today, Tampa plays San Diego. Next week, the Falcons are playing the Rams, and the Bucs play the Raiders, so for the Eagles and Cowboys, today is their best bet. If I understand it right, if Tampa and Atlanta lose today, next weeks Eagle-Cowboy game is winner take all (all being the last wild card spot)

I’ll be happiest if Dallas doesn’t make it. They scare me the most in the NFC (no offense Carolina fans, you’re pretty damn good too). Our O-line got manhandled in both games and they are the only D-line who has shown the ability to do it consistently.

I feel a lot better about tonights game than I did either of the past 2 weeks. I know the Panthers are a better team than either the Eagles or the Cowboys, but I felt like the Giants were due for a bad game 2 weeks ago, and I’m not really sure why but I just had a bad feeling that the Cowboys would beat us on the national stage. On the other hand, now I feel like everyone’s jumped off the Giants bandwagon (and, conveniently, onto the Panthers), which is a situation I feel much more comfortable with, and I think the Panthers are the ones due for a letdown, not the G-Men. Hopefully I’m right.

Either way, let’s go Falcons! Help keep the Cowboys out of the playoffs and guarantee us a first-round bye at the same time.

Let’s go over to Blogging the Girls and laugh at the moronic Cowgirl fans!
Ah, why bother. Just stick a fork in’em.

Man you can see the Cards don’t want any part of this game.

Dolphins up 7-0
Pats up 7-0

Bengals lead the Browns 7-0, I think Ohio State could beat at least one of them

Steelers just blew a great opportunity to score. First and goal inside the 5, two rushes stuffed, then Ben drops to pass, decides to run with it, puts his helmet down and gets crushed at the 1, drops the ball, Titans recover. Ben looked shaken up too

if they make the Super Bowl, we might get the first ever 3-0 final score

when announcers say “so and so with the tackle there at the very end of the play,” as if a tackle could ever occur at the beginning or in the middle of a play.

is making me realize how important tonight’s game for the Giants is. i’d much, much, much rather potentially get the winner of Cards/Falcons (4/5) than Minnesota/Philly/Dallas (3/6) in the Divisional Round.

the Steelers-Titans game? I’ve heard a lot of talk about Big Ben for MVP – this game should end that discussion. 2 fumbles lost, two more which the Steelers recovered, an interception, and another that was just dropped by a Titan, without a Steeler receiver in sight.

Now I have to sit and watch Atl-Min and root my a$% off for the Falcons.
