A part of me wants the Cowboys to lose at home to the Vikings (and I'm a fan). I guess I'm tired of listening to Jerry, Garrett, and company try to paint a rosy picture of the situation. Jerry's on sports radio talking about Garrett has done a good job even though the team is average at best and coming off the last seconds loss to Detroit??? But, the Cowboys tend to beat up on the worse teams in the league. They just screw up the games against the teams with above average records. They are right where they deserve to be...a .500 up-and-down team. I couldn't tell you the last time we beat a good team where we can say we truly outperformed a good team for a whole game. We've lost all those games going back to last season. If you don't win games against any teams in the above average category, then you don't go anywhere obviously except home at the end of the season.
I think Cowboys' fans expectations are routinely too high. They're routinely featured on national TV "big" games because of the team's history/popularity, and less because of actual merit. That helps propel the false sense of expectations based on absolutely nothing performance-based. They'll be one of those teams that people should continue to doubt... until they prove the doubters wrong for an entire season.

so much in the titans rams game with fisher coaching the rams, the team that beat them only superbowl apperance
For the Falcons, everyone seems to throw their disappointments this year on getting QB pressure, porous offensive line play, and 4th Quarter execution (esp. late in the game). Funny, many haven't pointed to Atlanta's inability to stop the run as well. 27th in the NFL in opponents ypc.
Me, too and I got him through an autopick. With my autopicks, I was able to get Matt Ryan, Wes Welker, Jimmy Graham, Adrian Peterson, Michael Vick and Maurice Jones-Drew.
One of my buddies went to high school with Incognito in AZ. Guy's been a douche since waaaaaay back then. Bullying, date rape rumors, etc. Pretty much standard issue for someone that's always been bigger but dumber than everyone else. In this case, I'll assume he's guilty before being proven innocent. And as a Dolphins fan, F--- him and I hope they cut his ass.
Buffalo receivers have been running past KC's defense all day, Teul just doesn't seem to have the arm strength to get it there.
