I was trying to make a point with that list. Record determines who the best teams were at the end of the year... not expectations.Dallas is a far better team than their 0-2 record shows, but they're winless right now, and that's all that counts when playoffs roll around. Wins and losses.I think they're fully capable of going 10-4 down the stretch and winning the division. Can they get out of their own effing way and do just that? I doubt it.
Well that was my point along with my opinion that many of the fans here are blowing things out of proportion after two games. There's a lot of doom and gloom, but the reality is that the NFC has significantly fallen off this year.
If true we need to bring Kris Brown in immediately. His confidence is obviously gone and I'd hate for him to be the difference between 1-2 and 0-3 vs the Texans.
Other then being a saints fan....This guy gets it.
Also, the Saints have a discarded cowboys coach.Wish we had kept him. He seems, like, brilliant and stuff.
I don't believe it. Wade is here to stay through the impending lockout.
Drew Brees makes him look a lot more brilliant than he probably really is.Give him Trent Edwards and let's test his brilliance.
Link please?
yeah, cuz Brees called that onside kick in the Super Bowl.What was Brees before he came to NO? Payton is a GREAT coach, I can't believe anyone would try to diminish that.
Apparently not. Barber has worn down each of the last two seasons without even carrying the load. Choice is a great backup, probably not a great starting RB. And the Cowboys don't have the personnel to run a blitz heavy defense.
I don't care, pick a RB and ride em. As far as blitzing goes, name the last game you saw a corner blitz. I dare you.Apparently not. Barber has worn down each of the last two seasons without even carrying the load. Choice is a great backup, probably not a great starting RB. And the Cowboys don't have the personnel to run a blitz heavy defense.
Name the last time Dallas didn't telegraph their blitz about 2 seconds ahead of the snap.
I dont buy it."The place where fans are sports writers is our source"? Thanks for sharing, I just think the source is weak.
Its the same blitz over and over. James or Brooking blast the A gap.
What do you mean you are calling the play they are about to run? Are you calling run or pass? Are you calling the personnel on the field (5 WR/1 TE)etc...) Are you calling who is going to catch the ball?...c'mon guys. I'm not trying to call you out Texas but lets stop jumping overboard here.

Kind of ironic to get on someone's case for diminishing Payton, when you are diminishing Brees in similar fashion in the very same breath.To answer your question, Brees was a Pro Bowl quarterback before he came to New Orleans.yeah, cuz Brees called that onside kick in the Super Bowl.What was Brees before he came to NO? Payton is a GREAT coach, I can't believe anyone would try to diminish that.
Don't quote probowl appearances in the shark pool, tia. Garrard started for the AFC last year. The PB is meaningless.Kind of ironic to get on someone's case for diminishing Payton, when you are diminishing Brees in similar fashion in the very same breath.To answer your question, Brees was a Pro Bowl quarterback before he came to New Orleans.
Well, typically when they run that one of the DE cover the TE if he goes out anyways. It is funny that I get the feeling they have roughly 5 plays they run on defense. Then again the super bowl teams would run the same defense damn near every single play, except super obvious passing downs.
I hope they prove you right.i predict the Cowboys will come out and try to run the ball against the Texans and it wont work. i see plenty of 3 and outs. the Texans are good against the run. the Cowboys have been bad at running.Romo will then have over 40 attempts, the O will be predictable, and the Cowboys go into the bye 0-3. i hope they prove me wrong......
But I agree with you about how wise that course of action is. Stopping the run is a Houston strength, among the best in the league, and stopping the pass is a Houston weakness, among the worst in the league.As a Texans fan I'd love nothing more than for Dallas to come out and ignore the pass and keep it on the ground. They might find success if they do, but I think it would play into the Texans hands a lot more than would coming out throwing and only using the run when the pass had set it up.
Not diminishing Brees at all. What happened to his stats when he went from SD to NO? He went from being a good QB to one of the best in the league. Payton coaches to his players strengths, that's what makes him a good coach.Brees doesn't make Payton a good coach, there is far more to coaching than QB play. Payyon doesn't make Brees a good QB, but he DOES put Brees in the best situations for him to succeed, which is the difference between good and great.Can't believe we're even discussing this...Back to the Boys, let's see an OL that can be aggressive in the running game. This OL looks like Indys from a couple years ago... No push at all.Kind of ironic to get on someone's case for diminishing Payton, when you are diminishing Brees in similar fashion in the very same breath.To answer your question, Brees was a Pro Bowl quarterback before he came to New Orleans.yeah, cuz Brees called that onside kick in the Super Bowl.What was Brees before he came to NO?

This is completly false the o-line gets a push, the problem is missed blocks. These same blocks (pulling to second level) that Dallas o-line was able to make last year and the year before are not being made hence Felix Jones getting blown up repeatedly before he can even accelerate or cross the line of scrimmage.
If you say so... But I'm not the only one that has seen the DAL OL turn into drop back pass blockers instead of road grinders. Missed blocks at the second level implies they get the guys at the first level, that simply isn't happening. The delay draw that Dallas ran successfully last year is horrible because the guys up front can't keep the DL at the LOS. No push at all, none, nada. They don't attack the LOS.
I think it will look a lot like the Saints vs the Vikes the first week where Dallas passes the whole first half then comes out and pounds them in the second half. At least that is what I would do.I hope they prove you right.i predict the Cowboys will come out and try to run the ball against the Texans and it wont work. i see plenty of 3 and outs. the Texans are good against the run. the Cowboys have been bad at running.Romo will then have over 40 attempts, the O will be predictable, and the Cowboys go into the bye 0-3. i hope they prove me wrong......

Dallas usually performs well when they are written off its when they are expected to win the problems occur.
Hey that sounds reasonable to me. Cause before that I was at a loss why Dallas could not win vs either of these teams. LOL. Dallas wins today and T-New has a big part in it.I have to make a confession here. I've identified the problem and have since corrected it.Week 1- As I do traditionally, I was wearing my #41 jersey for the game. "But," it had not been freshly laundered to begin the season. You see, I had worn it earlier in the week to a fantasy football draft. Dallas lost and the jersey was thrown into the hamper. In a disgusted fashion I might add. Once the season starts, I only wash the jersey after a loss. Week 2- I was not prepared. As the game got underway, my #41 jersey was still in the hamper. I had never gotten around to laundering it and washing away the residue of defeat. My bad.Week 3- My #41 jersey has been sufficiently laundered and hung-dried. When it had been reported this week that it was T-New himself that had called up the players only meeting, I knew that I myself had to do my part as well. Everything is now in order.We're ready
That sounds kinda like last season when they played at the Saints in a game that everyone was saying they had no chance in. It will never be as loud as it was for that game. Just saying

You always have to GTL. I found a new place to watch the game this week. Right in Giants land so I took some punishment until mid 3rd quarter.
