Yup. Packers had a meltdown of sorts. Cowboys just got hosed by an indefensible rule. Glad to see the Packers bite it. They didn't deserve to go any further.

Because life isn't fair.

Oh Baby, let Luck be Unitas tonight!

Grasshopper, there are differing levels of understanding.

It really is good news on the Linehan and Marinelli front. When speaking of Marinelli staying, Broaddus mentioned: The most important thing is that Marinelli is a really good coach, but I think Broaddus makes a very good point about the personnel department. They know what Marinelli wants...

I don't follow Oakland, so I don't know, but I wonder how much of McFadden's lack of success is on him and how much of it is due to being with a crappy, disorganized organization that regularly cycles through coaches.

Rumor has it that the problem in Atlanta is the owner. Mr. Home Depot is a meddler. Can you imagine just how crappy it would be to have a meddling owner?

Isn't strange how, despite all of the above, most of us think Murray is expendable and won't be too difficult to replace? Personally, I know that I hold Murray's relative lack of long TD runs against him. I'd rather have an RB who is a greater threat of taking it the distance. And yes, I...

Yup ... they rode Murray more than they needed. At the same time, didn't it seem like Murray wanted the carries? Heck, he seemed frustrated when he was pulled late in the Colts game (even though he had already played much longer than necessary in that game).

This Murray situation is difficult. Lots of questions -- Does team morale take a hit when you fail to reward someone who gave as much as Murray did during the previous season? It is easy to say that you are going to replace Murray, but how sure are you that you can find a replacement who has...

Size-wise, he's similar to JaMarcus Russell.

Nice writing dbair.

Honestly, I think the Cowboys win had the Calvin Johnson rule not been invoked. That particular play to Dez was in keeping with the character of this particular Cowboys team. This team was very good at getting the big clutch play when they needed it. It would have made sense for them to...

Dwight Clark's "The Catch" Drew Pearson's "Hail Mary" Alvin Harper's slant. Franco Harris's "Immaculate Reception" Through its own negligence, the NFL robbed from everyone another of these moments. Everyone has known, including the NFL, that the Calvin Johnson rule is problematic. By not...

Don't forget the officials. Nothing is more dramatic than seeing middle aged men with pot bellies huddle together while changing their minds. The thrill of victory. The agony of defeat. The human drama of athletic competition. Goodell is a fucker. The "bad rule" was a known problem, but the...

Overall, the Cowboys offense was among the best in the league. The defense wasn't great, but it could be argued that they overachieved given their generally underwhelming level of talent. The Cowboys lost a game they could have won yesterday and that's pretty disappointing, particularly given...

Yup. And with so many rules (and nuances), the actual implementation becomes less precise. With more possible calls to make, there are more that can be missed. And a greater level of arbitrariness is introduced. I believe the single worst thing about today's game is that instead of being...

Yeah. I had a lot of hope for him today, but obviously it didn't pan out. Like they say, "odd man out." He's clearly the oddest. Clearly, he's now out.

Absolutely true.

If we settle this one up quickly, I'll have a little to wager on the Broncos. Edit: Thanks!! Broncos wager placed
