Bartimaeus Posted September 10, 2021 Posted September 10, 2021 (edited) Kicking off the new season with a classically gosh-awful rendition of the national anthem, very cool! (e): The ball does sometimes lie. Edited September 10, 2021 by Bartimaeus Quote How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart. In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.
Keyrock Posted September 10, 2021 Posted September 10, 2021 Given muh Boys were playing the champs on the road, I chalked up this one as an L before it even started. We put up a pretty good fight and Dak looked good, so overall I'm fairly happy. 1 RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks

Any time I cheer for the Cowboys, they always lose. ...Probably because I only cheer for them when they're facing a bigger and badder opponent, . Felt a bit robbed when that receiver got away with clear OPI on that big catch near the ending, but OPI has always been enforced so randomly and selectively I guess I shouldn't have been surprised, . How ya feeling about losing your starting right tackle (instead of the usual defensive lineman!) to substance abuse issues?

Bartimaeus Posted September 14, 2021 Posted September 14, 2021 (edited) Don't know if anyone else caught it, but as a huge hater of MNF and ESPN in general...Peyton Manning and Eli Manning doing the Raiders-Ravens game was actually a lot of fun and a totally different atmosphere from standard commentary. Seeing them getting frustrated with some of the boneheaded decision-making towards the end of the game was especially entertaining. Aaron Rodgers appearing on the Pat McAfee show tomorrow should be entertaining. Edited September 14, 2021 by Bartimaeus Quote How I have existed fills me with horror.

Keyrock Posted September 20, 2021 Posted September 20, 2021 Our offense looks great this year; I realize I write that after scoring only 17 points. Dak is not quite a franchise QB but he's definitely an above average legit starter. Blake Jarwin is solid, Amari Cooper is good, and CeeDee Lamb is a bonafide star. Zeke looks a lot better than last year and Pollard is a stud. Provided we don't shoot ourselves in the foot, which is admittedly a big ask of muh Boys, we can score with anyone. The other side of the ball is a different story. RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks
