If it were a TD, I could see the "unraveling".

Late to the party here.

So all week, the talking heads in the sports media have been going on about how Dak has to step up if Dallas is to win this game

Call me a conspiracy theorist but I think they are just trying to get into Dak’s head.

Sorry to invoke Romo here but we all saw what happened when he tried to do too much and force things that weren’t there.

Dak just needs to play his game. He’s been moving the ball well against defenses that aren’t exactly scrubs. It’s been the play calling and lack of a bulldozer RB in the Red Zone that has hindered this team in the red zone more than Dak has.

If we can incorporate Luepke more and keep the defense playing at the level they are capable of playing, I like our chances. Dak just needs to play within himself and not try to force plays.

In other news, my fantasy team is horrible.

Whiteboy Slim for the 9ers is a Tony Pollard type and I don't see them with red zone issues. I don't think you need a bulldozer. You're either good there or you aren't.

 

[boozeman]

Daniel Jones will be a wobbling drooling braindead vegetable within a year.

And I am okay with that.

You don't need a bulldozer type, but you do need good blocking and a plan for running the ball down there.

If those idiots get into his head, he is more mentally soft than I have ever judged him to be.

If anything, he sounds very confident and focused coming into this game. Really a good bit of chatter from him.

Prescott has been playing well enough except for the sputtering in the end zone. And this is with a rushing attack which pretty much is at 3/4ths capacity.

If we can incorporate Luepke more and keep the defense playing at the level they are capable of playing, I like our chances. Dak just needs to play within himself and not try to force plays.

I would squeal like a prepubescent school girl at the Beatles premiere if Luepke emerged as a weapon.

I am not convinced yet.[/QUOTE]

Steelers pick off Jackson in the end zone

 

[boozeman]

Damn what a horrible INT from Jackson.

 

[boozeman]

Beckham with the half ass effort there.

 

[roughneck266]

I am trying to decide how to best utilize this beloved gravy I have created.

Rice or potatoes?

Beans

 

[boozeman]

Beans

I am going to use only Jack Torrance reaction gifs the rest of the day.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

a definite defensive genius, but his pro record without Brady is not good. without that miracle year from Cassell, it'd be even worse.

He was doing pretty well in Cleveland until they moved the team, though. And that was with Squatmeister Vinny.

 

[bbgun]

TD Pittsburgh

 

[boozeman]

Well that will definitely help the Steelers' SB chances.

 

[bbgun]

Bmore shot themselves in the foot repeatedly, but can still steal the game

 

[bbgun]

Jackson stripped; game over

 

[boozeman]

Damn, Lamar Jackson has really shit the bed in this game.

 

[Cotton]

Nap over. Let's do this.

 

[boozeman]

Having that London game really makes the day longer. I need to take my own damn nap.
