2022 Season | Week 2 | Gameday Chatter Thread | Bengals @ Cowboys | 9/18/2022

[Simpleton]

Well this was a pleasant Thursday game.

Some Amari to rub it in my face, some reminders of how good Callahan is an OL coach. I'm good.

Neither of them are Cowboys because the front office and Jerry love stroking their pet cats and hate anybody who rocks the boat.

They really kept an above average TE, who they had to franchise, over Cooper on a locked in contract.

Thank you for the reminder, sir.

As you may well note, I was trying to be positive, now you just pissed me off.

Fuck you very much.

 

[Simpleton]

It is amazing how quickly it has infested the game and how nobody really cares.

Back in my day, we had some old low level Greek mafia guy on CBS telling us what to do.

Not some organized Mafia version with the casinos working the numbers.

The game has definitely been affected by that.

It's only going to continue and become more grotesque. Hell, all the pregame shows love throwing up the lines and O/U's up on their graphics.

Just you wait until people can place automated live bets through their TVs or Amazon.

It's pretty disgusting and anybody who really watches the games closely should find it concerning.

They don't really have that either, Ravi.

Their worn down aging DL is still better than ours. It was built with the right blueprint and mentality

They got worn down today and still had a chance to win. If they got anything from the Steeler QB tonight they probably do win

 

[Simpleton]

The proliferation of sports gambling is going to remind people why gambling was illegal to begin with, because the majority of people aren't built to handle it and easily lose control of themselves when doing this shit.

The way it's gamified and glorified in these commercials is hilarious, I can't even imagine how many marks are drawn in by some blond talking about how they can win $100 on a $1 bet on a game if either team scores.

The fact these guys are giving away hundreds per person to draw their marks in tells it all

There’s a lot of potential for tragedy

There is shit all over the whole product now.

I am not a gambler, so I just don’t get it.

Dude, do you need someone to drive you home?

People who really gamble don't give a shit about the actual game itself, it's just a way to make money and stroke their ego in the process, basically a way to show how smart they are.

The league leaning into it is purely about profit and nothing else, it's a peek into the mind's of the owners and the league office where money and their own prestige comes first, the integrity of the game is a distant 3rd at best.

I love watching Baldy's breakdowns, but I refuse to watch one of a receiver we gave away.

We did not give him away. We got a 5th, ingrate.

Peanuts.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

We did not give him away. We got a 5th, ingrate.

And we cut a fifth round pick before he ever played for us, so it shows you just how much those picks are a shot in the dark.

Gosh I started watching that breakdown and Cooper still just looks so much more explosive than any WR's we have. Gallup will help and I think Ceedee is a good WR but Cooper's speed and change of direction is just so much more impressive than anything we have. DB's aren't scared of our guys at all. Cooper definitely is in a different class. It's no wonder that he changed the whole dynamic of our passing offense.
