According to Football Outsiders, our offense is ranked 29th in average starting field position. Search for "LOS/DR" and look for the "OFF." for offense.

However, interesting that our offense is #2 best in Points-per-Drive

Just an early weather report for our @Chicago game. Definitely will be high 20s. Chance of snow showers.

:lol

By the way, it's mildly irritating that our #1 WR drops the last 4th down catch...Somehow, you'll see 3rd-stringers fresh off their UPS job make those catches from Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady consistently.

That was a tough catch with a wet ball. Both sides were having trouble handling the ball. Cooper has more than earned the benefit of the doubt.

It's rainy and a tough catch to make. In perfect conditions I'd feel different.

I get it. It was a tough catch. I didn’t criticize Cooper.

Just saying it’s mildly irritating because you’ll see tough catches connect with Brady/Rodgers occasionally.

Instead, we get the tripping call.

We just can’t get the breaks.

We also never create our own luck either, which is the biggest difference between the Cowboys and teams like the Packers/Patriots.

Here’s our version...lucky we recovered that kickoff live ball self-created when we failed to field the f’n THIRD short kickoff.

One game every four years against Belichick has yielded all these juicy tidbits of being out coached.

Imagine if we were in the AFC East and played the man twice a year.

Yep, that seems like luck but it was created by Bill doing things he didn't think we would be prepared for. Just like a fucking block punt formation we appeared clueless on how to handle.

as the "smart" fans say, the Pats just win because they're in a weak division

you think we don't get enough of being out-coached aside from the occasional Pats game?
