For the first time ever?

Yup.

I watched it for like 3 hours, flipping back and forth between some games.

I don't even watch the bowl games.

Quite, but did you understand one word of what Lou Holtz was saying?

I didn't listen to any Lou Holtz.

 

[Cotton]

Yup.

I watched it for like 3 hours, flipping back and forth between some games.

I don't even watch the bowl games.

Wow. I didn't even think someone could intentionally avoid college football their whole life.

 

[Cotton]

35-0 Ravens, now.

Wow. I didn't even think someone could intentionally avoid college football their whole life.

Always took the Cowboys and NFL Sundays so seriously, that Saturdays were the only time I could do homework.

I grew up in San Diego, where there's no college football culture - only the shitty Aztecs.

My university didn't have a football team.

Then Saturdays became the honey-do lists so I can watch NFL Sunday

Sounds like you went to the University of Ghey.

I think Terence Newman is a better CB with Cincy than he was for the Cowboys, save 2 years.

 

[Cotton]

Haha just lol'ed after that KO.

 

[Cotton]

 

[Carl]

Buccs players are celebrating an incompletion, whilst down by 35 points.

By the way, can there be a moratorium on the Steve Smith love-fest. He is an asshole.

 

[1bigfan13]

35-0, Ravens over the Bucs. Good grief.

Lovie Smith may be one and done.

 

[data]

I'm cool with Steve Smith. There's a difference between him and bonafide ass shats like DeAngelo Hall.

 

[Carl]

Yup.

I watched it for like 3 hours, flipping back and forth between some games.

I don't even watch the bowl games.

No one believes you.

 

[data]

No one believes you.

Is there a 2 minute automatic timeout in college ball like there is in NFL?

I understand that the game clock stops after 1st downs.

Or DeSean Jackson.

 

[Carl]

Ken Lucas and Anthony Bright may disagree.

No 2 minute warning, and yes the clock stops after a first down until the sticks are moved.

 

[data]

I'd rather be a backup in Dallas than starter in Buffalo

Welcome to CenturyLink Field
October, 12, 2014

By Todd Archer | ESPNDallas.com

SEATTLE -- Welcome to CenturyLink Field where the Dallas Cowboys will try to do something only one team has been able to do since 2012 against the Seattle Seahawks: win a game.

Seattle’s Russell Wilson will look to join former Cowboy Danny White and current Atlanta Falcon Matt Ryan as the only quarterbacks in NFL history to win 18 of their first 19 regular-season home starts. The Cowboys have lost two in a row in Seattle, including the bobbled snap by Tony Romo in the wild-card round of the 2006 playoffs and a 27-7 drubbing in 2012.

The Cowboys are looking for their first five-game winning streak since 2007 when they had a seven-game win streak that carried them to an NFC-best 13-3 record.

Take what you can get: The Cowboys are second in the NFL in rushing through five weeks and DeMarco Murray leads the league with 670 yards. The Seahawks have the best run defense and are allowing just 2.6 yards per rush.

The Cowboys know they will have to run the ball to win the game, if not run it as well as they have the first five games. Getting into third-and-long situations will make them too predictable and will have to deal with the loudest crowd in the league.

In last week’s win against the Houston Texans, the Cowboys had only three carries of 10 or more yards, but they remained patient with the run. They need to be patient today.

“As Coach [Jason] Garrett calls them, dirty runs,” tight end Jason Witten said. “We did a really good job of those type of runs where there wasn’t as many explosive as we consider, 15-, 16-yard runs. But they’re a really good run defense and they pride themselves on getting guys to the ball and they’re fast throughout every position. You’ve got to be able to do that and stay ahead of the chains. A lot of teams have tried to do that, and the teams that had success doing it had success in the game.”

Eyes on Lynch: While Murray has been the Cowboys’ version of Marshawn Lynch’s “Beast Mode” this season, Lynch remains a key dynamic of the Seahawks' offense.

He has 306 yards and three touchdowns on 69 carries in the Seahawks’ 3-1 start, but Garrett sees an all-around back.

“He’s a dominant running back who I think in many ways establishes the identity of their team,” Garrett said. “He’s physical, he’s downhill, really hard to tackle, plays with a relentless spirit to him and he’s underappreciated as a receiver, as an athlete, got a great change of direction, great body control, great hands, just makes a ton of plays and shows up for them really every week.”

The ref: Bill Leavy will be the official for today’s game. Here is a breakdown of Leavy’s crew from their Week 5 game.

Wow. Alex Mack, C for the Browns, is being carted off.

He has never missed snap in 6 seasons.
