    Come on Eli, Sterling has the best hands on your team and helped lead you down the field then didn’t even target him in the red zone? Obviously Phillys defense is planning on Barkley running. I could see first down but you try running on 2nd too? Giants could already be blowing the eagles out if their play calling at the red zone isn’t r-----ed.

    Plus I started Sterling this week with AJ Green and Marvin Jones out. Chris Carson as my flex anytime I start him he doesn’t put up many points. Need James Connor to have a good day. Person I’m playing It’s going to be pretty close but I’m projected to win. As long as Josh Gordon doesn’t have a monster game I should be good to win.

    Giants literally gave that game away and let the eagles win. Never seen a team struggle this bad in the red zone. Eli looks directly for Odell or Barkley and it’s too obvious for the defenses. Shepard was open on the one attempted td throw but Eli wasn’t even looking his way. I will say eagles should have been flagged during their last drive where Odell’s jersey was pulled while he was in the end zone. Idk how the refs didn’t call that holding. I’m no Odell fan, but that hold on the jersey was enough for him to just barely miss the ball and that would have put them in the lead.

    I think you’ve been a little hard on the cowboys recently tbh and I don’t even like them. I wasn’t sure with the cooper move, but he does seem to fit in their system nice and the team has been improving. I think Dak’s last game he only had like what, 9 incompletions? Plus now some of the heat is off Elliot with Cooper being a threat and Elliot is doing his thing. Guy is a potential 3-4 best future rb.

    Ik I was extremely hard on Dak this year, but he has been looking better. I still wouldn’t throw him a huge franchise contract and would like to see him play another full year, but that’s on them. There’s times he shows me glimpses of being similar to Russel Wilson, but he still needs to get more consistent. With the injuries in the cowboys weak division, I could see them winning the division. Cowboys been looking better than the eagles. I watched the full eagle/giants game today and the giants should have won. They just blew too many chances in the red zone.

    Cooper is playing well but he still wasn’t worth a first round pick. These are some of the recent Cowboy first round picks: Zack Martin(2014), Byron Jones(2015), Zeke (2016), Taco Charlton (2017), Leighton Vander Esch (2018). 4 out of 5 of these players are better than Cooper. We certainly could have gotten a better/younger player with that draft pick. Dak isn’t playing bad this season but he’s still not playing at the level he played his rookie year which is frustrating. He’s maybe/arguably a top 15 QB in the league but I wouldn’t even go out & argue that. My issues with him don’t even necessarily have to do with him throwing the ball, it’s the mental stuff. His pocket awareness, knowing when to throw the ball away, seeing the field etc. I can’t tell you how many times our drives have been killed because Dak has 0 pocket awareness or because he refuses to throw the ball away & takes a sack. It drives me absolutely crazy. With that being said, yeah I would not sign Dak to a big contract. He hasn’t proven himself worthy of it. Jerry Jones is a fucken idiot though & he’s already committed to signing Dak long-term.

    We may win the division this year simply because our division is trash but there’s no way we make any type of playoff run. Not with how inconsistent our offense is which is exactly why I think the cooper trade was stupid. We sneak into the playoffs with Cooper during a s-----y season for the NFC East all for what?

    Yeah I agree Cooper wasn’t worth a first round pick, but the cowboys desperately needed a good wideout. And I think cooper had like 2 tds Thursday. You can still draft a good wideout in the draft. But yeah you’re right making the playoffs just to lose early on will happen. However, that should still boost the locker rooms self esteem knowing they still made the playoffs, after a terrible start to the season. I sort of don’t even want the Steelers going to the Super Bowl just to get blown out by the saints. Haven’t seen a team that stacked in years.

    But yeah with Dak, I see he does hold onto the ball a little too much resulting in a sack or a stupid throw. He also shows times where he can manage a game also. He’s not a fluke imo. Earlier in the year i was questioning it tbh. It probably does get to him mentally knowing his rookie year was hard to match up and now everyone is judging him based off it. And you’d know more since that’s your team. That’s probably a lot to take in when making millions on a popular team like the cowboys for a young guy.

    I still think the year the cowboys looked stacked when dak was doing really good, they still should have started Romo when they had a legit shot to go to the Super Bowl. Romo when they played him later in the game the week before the playoffs, Romo effortlessly led them down the field for a td and he looked so natural and comfortable playing. Could have turned out to be similar to the Brock/Peyton situation where Manning ended up winning the super bowl. That and Romo’s stats to me, he really should have earned one super bowl. I actually feel bad he didn’t and know how those back problems can set you back. Especially playing nfl football.

    Should be a good game tonight. I need 50 fantasy points to win. I have the Vikings defense and Adams the packers WR playing tonight and a kicker tomorrow. It’s going to be close. Hopefully, the Vikings can get me another 20-30 point defensive game and I should definitely win. If they don’t and Adams doesn’t have a amazing game with over 35 points, I’m losing. Adams usually always consistent and puts points up for me at least.

    Good s--- Adams on that td. Need the Vikings special teams to run back a td for some extra points.

    wish we could have got the running game going more than we did, but i'm just happy we got the win. cousins was obviously great. our front four was fantastic. we left points on the field in this game too.

    still a very tough road ahead, but we can do it!!!

    Actually looking forward to this game tonight. With the cowboys on a win streak and looking a lot better recently, they will have some momentum going into this game. Obviously the saints should blow them out, but I feel they are due for a sluggish game. I need brees for fantasy so obviously want him to do good.

    If the cowboys can keep behind by just a td. They can run Zeke and give him chances for a breakout td. Also focusing on Zeke could lead to a long Cooper td or 2. I feel if the saints get ahead 14-17 points, then the cowboys will just throw and the game will get out of control. Running the ball with Zeke taking time off the clock so brees isn’t on the field as much will give them a fair chance at winning the game.

    Curious to see the cowboys game plan and play calling. Need Kamara to have a bad game. First in my division in fantasy and this is the last week before playoffs. I want my team looking good going into playoffs. Idk whether to bench James Connor for Chris Carson this week. And need Aj Greens bum a--- to come back then my team will
    be stacked again.

    Fully expect Cowboys to get their a--- kicked today but if they want to even come close to winning three things need to happen: 1) we need to dominate time of possession 2) we need to be able to run the ball at will & 3) Score 7 points not 3 points when in the redzone. These three things are going to be particularly difficult to do considering: 1) we have 3 starting O-Linemen injured/out 2) Offense has been inconsistent & stagnant throughout the season 3) Redzone offense hasn’t been good this year.

    Cowboys driving the ball down the field and a nice long pass there by Dak. Had a weird feeling coming into this game thinking Dallas could win, since saints are due for a loss.

    And the cowboys just f----- themselves there not scoring a td while in the red zone. That could be huge later in the game. Now that they’re in the lead, obviously need to try and stop brees another drive and run Zeke some more to take time away from Brees getting on the field.

    Me and enigma the only ones watching the game tonight? Start posting other users so we have a good sports discussion for finally having a good Thursday night game.
