How dare you, sir! He was a dependable 3rd down back. He was our binky. I say, how DARE YOU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsay B. Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I was pretty impressed with Kellen Moore’s debut. Once he realized the Giants couldn’t get any pressure, and the secondary/LB’s were biting on literally every play-action/RPO, he just kept doing it. Years past I feel like Cowboys would’ve took their foot off the pedal and forced the run more, and win a game they clearly dominated by 7-10 points. The first drive after halftime I think Saquon touched the ball one time. This also includes a 3rd and 2 fullback rush in the redzone that didn’t fool anyone. What a fucking joke. Shurmur and Gettleman are absolute disasters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalton dropped back to throw 56 times, and they only gave up 5 sacks. Still a lot, but our DL got home at a much higher rate. We were down to our 3rd string LT, and the OL was supposed to be, by all accounts, completely terrible. They ended up keeping Dalton relatively clean most of the day. Now the run blocking otoh... It’s all relative. Seattle lost some significant pass rushers but then added some replacements that were less of a sure thing. But it worked out pretty well: they stopped the run and generated some decent pressure on Dalton. There were fears for it to go much worse. The D-line did a lot better than the O-line.

Jace, Extat Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I think it's worth pointing out that the Pete Carroll Seahawks have always had a habit of winning fugly ass games that they should cruise in. It's the style they play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Zac Taylor to go in to that stadium and pull out a huge upset in his first game would have been something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbunting Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 I was obviously impressed with Dallas' first game, cautiously optimistic about it anyway. Hard to gauge how good the team is when they play a team that isn't very good. I couldn't understand why the Giants didn't use Barkley more, he was killing the Dallas D all game long. Positives - Nice to see what Dak can do when he has legitimate NFL level receivers to throw the ball to. Until Cooper arrived last year the best WR he has played with was the injured ghost of Dez Bryant. The O-line looked much better than last year, still need to get better run blocking though. Negatives - The def looked shaky at best. Barkley had his way with them, that man is a fucking beast. Like a female Lion, fast, strong, can stop and turn on a dime and catch anything with his claws. The hyped up LB group looked average at best. On to Washington next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unJon Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 20 hours ago, Rockroi said: Regardless, here we are again, at the damn of another season where the Pats- even before the season has started – has broken your hearts, laid bare the waste-of-time your resistance is and exposed the league for the over-hyped clown-car that it is. Antonio Brown plays Miami next week. The spread might be 22. The Pats look formidable. I could definitely see them having another one of those 18-1 seasons.

Ramsay B. Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 I saw the spread for Pats-Fins at 18.5, and it has risen a lot already. It should easily be above 20 soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
