The Cowboys and their fans need not be in Monday Morning Mourning Mode. There are plenty of reasons to be optimistic. The ‘Boys are 4-2, they have a big-league defense, their running game is coming around, Dak is coming back and the Lions are in the on-deck circle. Dallas showed some composure and maturity Sunday night in Philly in fighting out of that early 20-0 hole.
I know you’re not supposed to look ahead, but I’m looking ahead. You can already tell that the Cowboys’ Week Eleven road game against the Vikings is going to be huge.
Of course, the way the Packers are tanking, Minnesota might already have the NFC North wrapped up by then. Green Bay is not simply “playing badly.” Green Bay is bad. And I don’t see the Pack getting appreciably better.
Now is not yet the Jets’ time. But it’s coming. That is a good and fun young team.
Oh, and the Big Apple now has a combined NFL record of 9-3.
I wasn’t completely shocked that the Falcons upset the ‘Niners. But the Steelers toppling the Bucs knocked me over.
It’s going to be extremely difficult to keep the Bills out of the Super Bowl, IMO. That team has “The Look.” And the way they are racking up wins, they’re going to have the home field in the playoffs. Good luck with that, opponents.
How badly do the Bills want it? Well, Buffalo safety Jordan Poyer took a 1,000 mile cab ride to Kansas City followed by a 1,000 mile cab ride back to Buffalo just so he could play against the Chiefs. Poyer was prohibited from flying because he has a collapsed lung. That did not keep him from playing in an NFL football game. Holy moly…I’m relieved to know the Bills now have a bye week.
Bailey Zappe is going to be the Pats’ starting QB, even after Mac Jones recovers from his ankle injury. Zappe gives that offense some big-play potential, something it lacks with Jones.
The first five games of the season were a nightmare for Matt Ryan. But Matty “iced” the Jags Sunday, throwing for 389 yards and three TDs in a 34-27 divisional victory. It would be a mistake to write off this Colts in October.
NFL Fraud Franchises would currently include the Cardinals and the Browns. And the Ravens may need to check themselves, too.
Dolphin QBs would have a hard time trying to buy health insurance right now…
Panthers interim coach Steve Wilks kicked Carolina WR Robbie Anderson out of Sunday’s game against the Rams for arguing loudly with his position coach. My guess is that Anderson will be gone by lunchtime.
My wife is having trouble sleeping. So I recommended that she watch the Broncos play tonight. That would put anyone to sleep.
Georgia one, Ohio State two, Tennessee three…sounds about right, not that it really matters now…
Norff Carolina is 6-1? And ranked? Didn’t see that coming…
How in the world are we already in Week Eight of the college season? This all goes by way too fast. Slow down!
Oh, one more thing. Come on, Guardians!
