If they mirror their current record, they could very well snag the division at 8-8.

Yeah, I needed a RB for my fantasy team, and was about to go big or go home and propose a Calvin Johnson for Lesean Mccoy trade a couple weeks ago. Glad I talked myself out of that one.

329 yards and a TD today...with the lost fumble, he put up 36.90 points this week. I think that might be the most out of anyone this year outside of Manning in week 1. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Can anyone provide background on the Dez Bryant/Jason Witten argument? Even the commentator said something about "spoiled child syndrome"? Yeah, they just lost the lead, but why argue with each other?

Wooooooow. They do know were not even close to making the playoffs, right? It's not like I gave you a key player when you're 7-1.


Yeah I accepted it on Wednesday and it made it wait til next week :angry:


Oh I thought you meant it was rejected permanently.


It will be soon enough

Cowboys need to fire Garrett. This isn't the first time he's blown a game late.

When will coaches ever learn about prevent defenses?

Why do the Broncos get away with that pick play every game? Don't the officials wonder why their receivers are wide freaking open all the time?

Just guessing

Witten is a leader of the team and Dez complained once, so he probably said something again and witten snapped off.

Good call.

It's the third highest point total in the league this year.

1. Peyton Manning week 1: 46.28 points
2. Tony Romo week 5: 41.94 points
3. Calvin Johnson week 8: 36.90 points
4. Peyton Manning week 5: 36.76 points

It's by far the most points by any non-QB this year.

Why was he complaining the first time? Someone else said he threw a fit earlier?

I wasn't watching the game at all until the very end, so IDK about anything that happened earlier.

One of the best catches I've seen. Too bad it didn't lead to anything.

Oh well that I don't know. Kinda goes back to my question a couple weeks back, why does a QB get to do it and is called a ferocious leader, but when a WR does it, he's a diva. Someone had a good rebuttal though and I forgot what it was.

Ugh, I hate being a Jets fan sometimes. I switched over when the Lions turned it over on downs? How the hell did the Cowboys lose that one?

without knowing exactly what happened (was watching the pats game at the same time), dez is right to be pissed at that cowardly play calling, if that is in fact what he was pissed about.
