    The Cowboys are running though the Lambs in this game so far. You would think the Lambs would more motivated.

    Say what ya want about Wentz and i might not dispute some of it. However the last few games Wentz played like Joe Montana as far as leading his team to a late in the game comeback win. :)

    Yes, but when your team needs to come back because of your own ineptitude through the first 55 minutes of the game, there is a limit to how much credit you can receive for finally playing well in the last 5.

    BTW, Go Eagles!!! It's painful rooting for a team this bad, but I am rooting for them, and never moreso than I will be rooting for them next week.

    This is for you @thisistheshow - Jim Rice was actually a pretty good player.

    It looks like the Tenderfoots are going to be Sheep Herders this week ... Jerry Jones is happy, which makes Garrett happy.

    Employment and job security are a wonderful things.

    Ahh... an interception. This looks like “the slaughter of the lambs.”

    28 - 7 ... Time to switch to the news.

    Congrats to the Cowboys on a nice win.

    Next Sunday, they come to the Linc and we shall see how that one goes.

    Cowboys players better expect the Philly crowd to be loud, and then multiply that by a factor. Of course the Cowboys coaches will game plan to try to take the crowd out of the game early, so the Eagles defense had better be ready from the first snap for a lot of long pass attempts.

    And if it doesn’t work, you will have Garrett for at least the start of next season. That’s more mediocrity, and I firmly agree with on that point, although I don’t care for the a Cowboys.

    Yes, but you'll never catch him looking at a play sheet or anything like that!

  • BillJonesBillJones Posts: 33,984 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Either way we win.

    If the Eagles get slaughtered, Garret's job is safe. Then Dimeman will get to enjoy him next season. BWT if Garret does come back next year, the Cowboys won't get better. They will still be in the "JV Division" with teams that win playoff berths with .500 records. In a normal year, with a normal season record, you would not be looking to win a division or get into the playoffs.

    If the Eagle's win, Garret will get to come to the Cincinnati or some other team that changes coaches every year or so, and Dimeman will be happy to be rid of him.

    One thing i've never understood with some professional athletes is the butt slapping. I'll shake a guy's hand but other than that, i don't like touching men.

    I've got some male family members and friends who do the hugging routine when they haven't seen ya for a while, and even with them i feel uncomfortable with the hug, although i never tell them that.

    If i had ever made the Phillies or Eagles team, and we just had the team's history best championship win, I wouldn't give a chit, i ain't slapping no guy's butt.

    I offered an avatar bet a while back to Dimeman, however i later retracted it.

    Sorry but i just couldn't enjoy seeing that cute dog avatar go down.

    Now if Dimeman's avatar was that of Jerry Jones, i might even give Dimeman odds such as Cowboys lose and his avatar changes for a week, but if Cowboys win then my avatar changes for two weeks. That's how badly i would enjoy not having to see an avatar such as that for a week.

    Perhaps like father, like son?

    Frankly, the more i think about this story, the more it hisses me off. I mean this stupid man should know how dangerous this cat could be to a young child. These creatures are instinctive killers and it's not any stretch to imagine a young kid innocently playing in their backyard, and before the kid realizes it, this hungry feline has sunk its teeth into the kid's neck and the kid quickly bleeds to death.

    I hope a judge punishes him accordingly.

    So if it’s that bad rooting for the Eagles, what will another mediocre season with Garrett coaching the Cowboys be like? Maybe it will be like slowly pulling out you finger nails, one each week, as the Cowboys lose ten regular season games next year and miss the playoffs?

    Bite the bullet now. Hope that the Hummingbirds buzz past the Tenderfoots convincingly and look forward to a new coach next season. You could be looking at new dynasty. It’s not going to happen with Garrett at the helm.
