For starters, obviously because I'm a Cowboy fan and this is a Cowboy Board, I can't help but feel disappointed at the negative reaction the Cowboys are getting because they didn't win by "enough" points because they forced six turnovers. So Cowboy fans have had to hear for the last four fucking years that the Giants will never lose at Jerryworld, have to hear about their record in Jerryworld all fucking offseason, and after all that, we win the game and can't get an ounce of credit because we didn't blow them out? Bullshit. This is why it sucks to be a Cowboy fan sometimes. Even when we win, we still lose.
Watching the Chargers lose tonight felt all too familiar. Honestly, that was a joke and I feel sorry for Charger fans for having to constantly witness this shit. Makes me even more angry that it had to be against that other Texas team.
The 49ers look like they should be the class of the NFC but was not at all impressed with their defense. Their front 7 was not nearly as dominant as I thought it would be. Their front 7 is what I think separates them from the rest of the NFC, but I was not impressed yesterday. The Packers line consists of a bunch of make-shift garbage yet the 49ers didn't generate nearly as much pressure as I thought they would.
And speaking of classes of the NFC, the Falcons looked absolutely horrible against a defense that is not that great. I watched about an hour of this game and couldn't believe how utterly boring it was. I actually had to flick to the Browns game to see what they were doing. Yeah, that boring. Something I completely didn't expect from a Saints-Falcons game.
Cincinnati once again looked like a team that will give the Texans another free playoff win. They don't look like a team ready to take the next step and get over the playoff drought. And on the other hand, kudos to the Bears, even though they have zero pass rush without Marinelli's influence.
All I will say about the Broncos and Ravens' game is this: I think that game said more about the Ravens than the Broncos.
I was probably one of the 15 people outside of the states of Ohio and Florida that watched some of this Miami-Cleveland game and this game was as horrible as everyone thought it would be. Miami somehow won a game convincingly where they only averaged like 1 yard per rush. Unbelievable. #Pray4Cleveland
LOL at Pittsburgh.
Not that I think the Panthers are a bad team, but I really think the Seahawks won't be as good as people think. A team that struggles outside of its homefield as much as the Seahawks is not a Super Bowl team, which so many people seem to think they will be.
As much as the Pats are being criticized for the way they played this Sunday, they still have that division on lock. Just look at Miami, Buffalo, and NY's offenses.
Detroit looks like it has something with Reggie Bush. Too bad their defense is still terrible. Beating the Minnesota Petersons is nothing to get excited about. Minnesota vastly overachieved last season.
Like the Vikings, the Colts look like a fluke from a year ago. I don't think the Raiders are that good. I just think the Colts are an 8 win team.
In this new no-defense, pass-happy NFL, you gotta love the type of defense the Chiefs played, even if it was against the Jags. The one thing that gives me hope as a Cowboy fan going into this weekend's game is that I doubt Alex Smith could beat us with his arm like Eli could. But the good thing about Smith is he probably won't help us with turnovers so the Cowboys have to avoid turning the ball over this weekend if they don't want to be in a 60-min dogfight.
I can't lie, I didn't watch a single minute of the Cards-Rams game. The only highlight I saw of the game was Cook's fumble lol.
What needs to be said about the Redskins that wasn't already said about the Colts and Vikings? And we know that game wasn't as close as the final score indicated. Cue Sheriff Bovey. :rollseyes: The Eagles won't continue to fly because Chip Smelly will continuously put Mike Vick in harms way. Without Vick, this offense will not work and I'm virtually certain Vick will get hurt.
At the end of the day, it is just Week 1 and in most cases, overreactions are aplenty after Week 1. But we wouldn't be football fans if we didn't overreact, right?
