That Ravens-Cowboys game next week is going to be great. 2 desperate teams who had SB aspirations already in must-win mode

I'd argue must more must-win for Baltimore considering they're already 0-2 and play in a much more difficult division, especially considering how bad the Giants and Skins have looked so far, and the Eagles seemingly have continued their implosion from the latter third of last season. 1-2 is hardly insurmountable in the NFC LEast

Although true to a degree, Dallas needs to prove they can actually beat good teams

[Darth_Pelican]

First real test of the season

[Will Hunting]

Fun fact: through two weeks, rookie QBs have a combined zero passing touchdowns.

[Millennial_Messiah]

First real test of the season

Disagree, you're at home in the dome against a team that has lost 8 out of their last 10 games and a quarterback on tilt and a coach who's just about lost the locker room.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Although true to a degree, Dallas needs to prove they can actually beat good teams

Whoever wins, the narrative will be spun as the other team is sub-500 and therefore aren't good enough to qualify as a good win, especially if Dallas wins then Baltimore will be 0-3.

One thing about the Prescott era Cowboys is, they tend to bounce back well after losses, especially after getting manhandled like that. I don't believe they've lost two home games in a row either except the covid year where dak broke his leg.

[Millennial_Messiah]

It's Bo Nix and a bunch of mulattoes, what do you expect?

Not a rookie, but Will Levis kind of stinks too. Reminds me of the Titans' Jake Locker era where they'd go like 2-14 every year. And signing Tony f--king Pollard to be their bell cow back is an absolute joke, anyone who watched Dallas last year could see that he's not a RB1.

[GAustex]

Fun seeing Rajaws turn the clock back. We'll see how long he hangs in there before getting hurt again

[Millennial_Messiah]

Even with Williams I still think they need one more piece on offense. If you're going to go all in with a 40 year old HOF QB, why not trade for Davante Adams already? It just makes so much sense for both sides. How is next year's first round pick, likely late first round, going to help the Jets in the Rodgers era more than a HOF WR at the tail end of his prime who's played most of his career with said HOF QB?

[benefactor]

Vikings look good. Might be a long afternoon for Houston

What's the record for most false starts in a row?

[GAustex]

Plenty of room on the Green Bay bandwagon

lol...they are fine. The Vikings are playing out of their mind right now

[MultiTroll]

First real test of the season
Was #22 throwing the game? WTH kind of slacker effort was that on the INT. Could have either caught the pass or certainly draw PI.
It's about 2 seconds before this. He stands there watching the ball and doesn't move toward it at all.

Can't post the ESPN video.

Did he lose the ball in the lights or WTH was that?

[FrostKing]

Brock spanking the monkey :monkey

[Millennial_Messiah]

Prescott with the clutch 2-yard dumpoff on 3rd & 10 from his own goal line...... to his left guard. :lmao

The bigger issue was the Eagles got away with blatant OPI on that long catch and run play from the tight end on 3rd and 16. Saints hold there they win easy.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Seriously. Sell the team. :pctoss

Seahawks and Steelers look good this year.

[GAustex]

lol cowgirls

[Millennial_Messiah]

Steelers 3-0 with Fields starting. Bo Nix finally had a breakout game and an unlikely road win over better team. And, the Seahawks are about to be a clean 3-0.


What does that say about Struggle?

[Millennial_Messiah]

Geno knows how to hit the G-Spot throws to Metcalf in ways that Russell Wilson could not.

Poor Ciara.

[Barfunk]

We suck again

[GAustex]

Red zone not even showing cowgirls

Rams-49ers is the most underrated rivalry in football imo. Two great coaches, two tough, gritty teams.

Clutch final drive by Jackson.

[Mark Celibate]

Mark Celibate (https://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=49544) garbage time Joe Montana just put the cape on

didn't watch or follow, but checking the qtr by qtr box score, this looks like a classic garbage time Joe Montana throwback. sons, Is there anything more unstoppable/automatic than the Cowboys '5 yard and a cloud of dust' checkdown offense in the fourth quarter when down by 20+?

[Blake]

4th qtr lead you say?

That was the most Cowboys game ever:lol

[MultiTroll]

What a choke by the Niners.
Lot of stupid plays by the 9ers but that dropped 40 yard bomb was the topper.

Welcome to Lamar Jacksons world.

Purdy got soo phucked out of a Super Bowl win.
I don't think Kyle Shanahan will ever do it. Hope he doesn't continue to drag Purdy down.

Jackson will never sniff a bowl with Dumbaugh and GM de Costa.

[Robz4000]

I legit think the Niners finish 5-12 this season tbh. Brutal schedule after next week.

[MultiTroll]

Sammy Darnold and Justin Field 3-0.

I've always felt Fields got a raw deal in Chicago. Good to see him have a solid game plan and cast with Tomlin. The Bolts need Bosa and Hebert or they are .500 at best. Now that rookie O lineman Joe Alt is down. :cry

[Will Hunting]

You know the NFL sucks when mid 30s Andy Dalton can come back and instantly be an above average starting QB.

[Donald Sterling.]

QB play is at such an all time low that at this point it would be shocking if Kermit doesn't surpass Brady's ring count, who played in the most stacked QB era ever.

Kermit's numbers are absolute dog shit so far and the Kansas City Swifts are still comfortably en route to host another AFCCG.

[MultiTroll]

^^ case in point the idiotic gift INT just wrapped and presented to KC 30 seconds before halftime.

Nice veteran move Cousins.

FFS :depressed

Moar greatness by Patty.

[benefactor]

You know the NFL sucks when mid 30s Andy Dalton can come back and instantly be an above average starting QB.
And Sam Darnold suddenly looks elite

[DAF86]

For the Chiefs it would have been better if the Falcons got the TD with 4 minutes to go. No way Mahomes doesn't get into FG range with 4 downs to get 10 yards. Instead they had to play it safe, run the ball and punt in 4th down.

[DAF86]

lol it's a flag fest against the Chiefs' D. Will yall stop crying now? :lol

[MultiTroll]

They made up for it with 3 penalties against the Chiefs' D in the next possession.

I wished they would have called that, though, so we could have got a Mahomes' game winning drive, tbh.

[Millennial_Messiah]

No, the refs called some bullshit to help Dallas, mostly on 3rd downs, on two of those three late Dallas TD drives

Without the flags and Justin Sucker's miss on a relative chip shot field goal when it was 28-3 Ravens, Baltimore wins by 20+ points

Also re the onside kick that Dallas recovered, i'm not even sure that Flowers touched it at all and if it didn't it only went 9 yards.



Lot of stupid plays by the 9ers but that dropped 40 yard bomb was the topper.

Welcome to Lamar Jacksons world.
.

With the Ravens the most underrated issue is Justin Sucker is no longer mister reliable. Far from it.

[Robz4000]

The NFL has been near unwatchable so far this season tbh. The level of play is at an all-time low and the only legitimate contender is Kansas City. Feels like the days of the KD Warriors.

That crying. Extremely funny coming from a Pats fan, tbh.:lol

The play didn't look like PI in real time to me, then the slow-mo replay shows that it was PI, but it makes it seem much worse than it actually was.

And the PI called on McDuffie on the next possesion wasn't "failry called", it was an obvious made up call. In any case, none of this matters, the Chiefs would have still drove for a game winning field goal, had they made that PI call.

I mean Buffalo looks really good but their schedule has been cake.

It's about to get a lot less favorable, though. 4 of the next 5 are both very hard and on the road.

[MultiTroll]

In terms of end result, what is worse then completely obstructing the receivers ability to catch the ball, resulting in an incompletion?
He didn't gouge his eye out so it could have been worse?

Or you mean Brady chucking a ball 25 feet literally from his receiver in the endzone and getting Honeybadger a PI rung up like in SuperFraud vs the Chiefs?

[Millennial_Messiah]

I think it's almost near time for Jax to ghost Trevor. Almost.

I think Trevor is more concerned with his expectant wife and their soon to be newborn baby girl than football honestly. Kind of part and parcel for his values considering where he's from

Dipstick Diggs do the same thing yesterday with his 10 catches on 12 targets?

[DAF86]

The Bengals are built to give the Chiefs problems, but that makes them suceptible to teams that run the ball effectivelly. That's why the Ravens own them and the Browns and Steelers give them fits relative to the talent disparity.

[DAF86]

Jayden Daniels already a better QB than Joe Overburrowated, tbh.

Fixed, tbh.

[DAF86]

Titans-Dolphins next monday :lmao

[DAF86]

Allen is just too good. He's worth 10/11 wins all by himself. lol at the people that had them missing the playoffs because they lost a couple of overrated "skill" position guys. Allen is my pick for MVP this season, tbh.


You are gonna be good.

Yall can say what you want about McDermott but he has created a winning culture and the defense will always be good under him.

Joe Brady is gonna keep building on what he started last season and just keep running that ball with Cook, so that Josh can save his superman antics for when needed. And now you don't have an overrated lunatic making a fuss because he doesn't get targeted 20 times a game.

You are gonna be better than last season.

Shoulda put some money it, tbh. :wakeup

[Blake]

Jayden Daniels already a better QB than Lamar Jackson tbh.

Washington finally did something right by hiring Kingsbury.
