Eagles dont scare me. Division is for the Cowboys to take.

Just because they can't beat the NFC's elite doesn't mean they can't bludgeon us. Hell, even next week's Giants game isn't a sure thing.

For whatever reason the Cowboys have matched up well against Chip Kelly. I agree, the Giants are always tough, although Cowboys have played well in NY this time of year.

I am not sold on Arizona. Backup QB and too much reliance on blitzing.

The Redskins game is proof of that.

I love it how the homers say "you can throw out the records" just because it's a division game. now explain to me why the Pats throttle their rivals in AFC East and the Packers annihilate the Bears every year.

I am surprised that someone like yourself that has alot of knowledge in Cowboys history would make a comment like that. Division games are always different animals especially against the Redskins.

but the Pats have more or less had their way with their longtime rivals (Jets, Bills, Dolphins) for like the last 15 years. and is there a bigger rivalry than Packers-Bears? doesn't stop GB from drilling them.

Good question, and one that I am not able to answer except to say that our HC doesn't bring our football team into games prepared as well as he should.

Yeah. You ever notice it's Redskins; fans that generally say this; and yet the Cowboys add on to the win column, and have nearly doe the amount f wins on H2H matchup.

The Pats have the best coach in the league. And even then they still get bit by some terrible divisional teams from time to time. Dolphins got one this year. The Jets were pretty successful against the Pats for a few seasons in the recent past.

I wonder if there's really anything to it, or if it's just that you play them far more than other teams so there are more opportunities for upsets.

Seems to me we've beaten down the Redskins plenty of times the last several years when they weren't any good, but those are quickly forgotten.

Watched the replay of the Rams and Broncos. Still a sad thing to watch Ware play as a Bronco. And I saw Korey Toomer playing for the Rams, which means he was not ready to play for Jason but somehow dim witted Jeff Fisher who knows nothing about strong defenses has Korey Toomer playing in the games and backing up two LB spots on the Rams depth chart.

You do realize Toomer wasn't even credited for an assisted tackle on defense or special teams right?

Anyone else hear Gruden blast RG3 in his press conference yesterday? Wow, that was laying down a heavy hand. Let that fucker know who is in charge.

Pettine of the Browns bitch slapped Ben Tate today, released his ass for speaking out about not getting enough carries. Waiting to see what Garrett does to Randle :errf

Wow, really... And Tate is way better than Randle.

Tate has sucked ass for the Browns, he was clearly being outplayed by the other two guys. That has a lot to do with why they dumped him.

I don't think he's way better than Randle at all. Tate has 75-80 carries more than Randle has but only about 100 yds more production. Randle is averaging almost 7 yds per rush. Tate is barely averaging 3.
