Cowboys at Giants | Week 12 Gameday Chatter Thread | 11/24/13

[Smitty]

Claiborne was good today until he got hurt.

Uh... no he was not. He got burned like 3 times and committed a deep PI. He let up at least a 21 and 22 yard reception to Randle, I think another big one too.

 

[Genghis Khan]

I agree.

But when I read Carp's post I thought he was saying that there is supposed to be a huge storm that week. I was like... that makes no sense.

There might be, sure.

Actually, there apparently is. They mentioned it during the game.

 

[Carp]

Uh... no he was not. He got burned like 3 times and committed a deep PI.

Yeah he was and the PI penalty was on an uncatchable ball.

 

[VA Cowboy]

They used to use that as their excuse for years for having it at a neutral site. Don't want the weather causing the better team to lose, etc. not sure why they changed their tune.

Just rewarding Jets/Giants and city for building that new stadium.

 

[data]

I don't really watch the Olympics.

But I'm starting to think maybe I've been missing out. You know, on some serious sports competition.

Maybe this will help you remember.

 

[Smitty]

Huh.

Well it can't be based on reliable data. If it was, why doesn't the farmer's almanac just predict the daily weather? They can't do it more than like a week or ten days in advance.

 

[Smitty]

Yeah he was and the PI penalty was on an uncatchable ball.

Ok.

 

[data]

Surprised they didn't call PI on that.

 

[Smitty]

I'm re-watching the Giants game from week 1, Austin was very good in that game.

I think it's mental for him. You don't fall off in a span of a couple weeks.

 

[Carp]

Huh.

Well it can't be based on reliable data. If it was, why doesn't the farmer's almanac just predict the daily weather? They can't do it more than like a week or ten days in advance.

You are ridiculous.

 

[Carp]

Ok.

It was...you are being dishonest.

 

[data]

Huh.

Well it can't be based on reliable data.

It's all hocus pocus.

 

[Smitty]

It was...you are being dishonest.

I don't remember it being uncatchable. Apparently neither did the refs.

 

[Carp]

It's all hocus pocus.

Science is not reliable.

I don't remember it being uncatchable. Apparently neither did the refs.

It was horribly uncatchable.

 

[data]

The NFL is so f'n fixed.

 

[Carp]

I don't remember it being uncatchable. Apparently neither did the refs.

Refs miss lots of calls...much like you miss truths.

 

[data]

Science is not reliable.

Anyone can skew statistics.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

Claiborne was playing good until he got hurt but the injury is frustrating. As much shit as people give the player, we are a much better defense with him healthy.

 

[Carp]

All these fumbles remind me of when Ahman Green would wear those sleeves and fumble during games with weather.
