Atlanta/Detroit is a juicy match-up. Raiders/Skins could be a good one as well.

The NFL might as well put an end to Thursday Night.

Redskins are trash.

They don’t even try to put a competitive matchup on. And then they run Tirico, Collinsworth and soon Nantz & Romo to actually talk about the crap on the field.

I feel like bjj used up all his optimism during the offseason and just has none left. That's the only explanation for him being this pessimistic after one bad game.

Sometimes, a good ol' humblin' is necessary to place things in proper perspective. Now - if the same thing happens this week, then there are serious issues up in here.

I mean, as far as raw talent goes the Cowboys aren't THAT great. They played over their heads last year.

Their offense is great - but even with that OL and Zeke, not the best in the NFL. Defense is just not talented enough IMO.

If you take away Dak vs. Palmer I think the Cardinals have more talent than the Cowboys overall - but the Cowboys could win bc they should have the advantage at QB.

We suck. Dez is so over rated its beyond talking about(been wanted to trade or get rid of his ass for 4 years now but can't due to the way the contract is written up), every year our thugs go on suspension and kill us for about 3 - 6 games. Haven't begun to talk about injuries yet. And of course our wonderful coaching staff that never shows up for big games because in the end they are all puppets of Jerry. And I warned everyone of Elliot before the draft even began. Another Johnny on the horizon junkie Manziel. What a cluster ****. America's Team is nothing but a joke from top to bottom. I'd rather have rectal cancer than watch another ounce of this crap. Hell I may move to Seattle where its depressing and raining all the time.

Aren't you too busy being pussy whipped instead of taking to us football guys? Hello, nice talking to ya, check back with me in another 3 weeks sweetie. The only thing keeping me going lately is the old Neil Diamond/Barbara Streisand song from way back that I sing to Giant family members and friends, "You don't bring me FLOWERS, anymore". P.S. By the way, how is your endowment medication doing for ya?

Maybe on Defense... but with the exception of Fitz over Dez I will disagree on Offense. Particularly with Johnson out. It isn't close.

Correction, our offense isn't great and will never be great with no shows like Dez Bryant who CAN'T RUN ROUTES OF GET SEPERATION.

It's funny picked a bunch of home dogs but I hate some of the spreads like +2.5. It seems like I went against the masses a ton this week, and they all felt risky...some that you'd never think normally the spread should be that low for a reason, but if Vegas sets it there they do for a reason, so the masses make what seems like an obvious pick I almost always feel compelled to go the other way.
