    Cowboys will choke when it matters. Not too worried.

    Maybe, but at least they're respected.

    We'll see if GB is still "let-downing" when weak ass Houston rolls through.

    Wouldn't be so bad if Houston actually did something, anything... any sport.

    It's basically been a 60 year sh1tfest.

    Cowboys are legit.
    I fully expect the Texans to crap the bed in that game. That will be a get healthy game for the Packers.

    They were only a (HIGHLY questionable) call away from ANOTHER conference championship game just 2 years ago. Closer than the Texans have been their entire existence.

    Crazy game there. Good finish in San Diego too. Both wins helpful to the AFC front runners.

    Every "contender" in the league has a major flaw(s) except the Patriots and Cowboys. On the surface, it's basically like this:

    Patriots - defense not elite as years past but still a top 10 defense. Plus they have the best QB and coach right now.
    Cowboys - skeptical of their defense but it's being overlooked; think it's above average for sure. Best o-line and run game helps the defense out a lot.
    Packers - no wide receivers, injuries to #1/2 RB, #1 TE, #1/2/3 CB, potato coach and offensive scheme
    Seahawks - no o-line
    Vikings - no o-line
    Panthers (going into the season they were projected as a contender) - no secondary
    Broncos - no QB
    Cardinals - Palmer is washed
    Steelers - no pass rush


    Raiders and Falcons are similar teams to me. Don't consider them contenders, but their flaws are defense of course. Eagles are a poor man's Chiefs. Same limited offensive scheme, good all-around teams, but second-tier in the contender talk. Texans have no QB/offense.

    With Prosise being featured over Michael, think this Seattle offense could be dangerous and marginalize their o-line's problems. Huge upgrade. Baldwin, Lockett, Graham, Prosise are great weapons for Russ.

    Never thought highly of Baldwin but now that I've watched him more, he is pretty underrated. Great route runner. Seahawks leaving too many points on the board. 3 red zone trips and only 12 points.

    Man Russell Wilson looks locked in and he seems to have SOME of his mobility back

    Love watching this version of Russ. Lol @ Pats with their scared 2 and 3 man rushes dropping back to play zone coverage.

    seemed like a pretty obvious touchdown by prosise. he put the ball over the goalline and then his leg went lower. unless his leg was already on the ground and then burrowned a foot into the earth, he was pretty clearly not down.

    and i feel like every time i want a team to beat a team i hate (i hate the patriots) and that team gets a first and goal inside the 5, there's like a 90% chance they are going to get a false start. seattle goes from just needing 2 yards to getting the td taken away, to stupidly false starting and settling for 3.
