NFL Discussion Thread - Hall of Fame Game: August 3rd

[mez 0ne]

Game will be defensive which Seattle clearly has an edge to, and running game.....Lynch vs Alfred.

Love both, Lynch is still one of my favorite RB's, see Seattle taking the game.

Will be one of the better games this weekend.

 

[mmg]

Seattle, Houston, Minny, colts.

Congrats to all the teams that made the playoffs and their fans

Some good games this weekend

 

[mustbetheshoe58]

Seattle, 3-5 on the road. Cards, Lions, Dolphins, Rams, and 49ers.....
Skins have a very good chance at winning this game.

jim haslett needs to create a unique game plan on wilson and lynch. with the body of work from last night's cowboys game, i expect the ******** defense to go stride to stride with seattle

 

[fraij da 5 11]

Dat boy got mitts.

Was looking for this gif earlier, that pass and catch couldn't be anymore perfect

I mean... The pass could have been.

 

[macbk]

Tannenbaum fired.

New GM will probably still draft a TE 1st Round .

Ehh Seattle has a far better Oline and run game. I honestly don't expect the same thing.

Eifert.

The fact that we get to see RG3 vs. Russell play each other in their rookie year in the playoffs is so Both these guys played their first year of college in 2008 and you could tell they had "something" even back then

 

[airjordan jb23]

That pick |I

What sucks the most is he did such a good job recently of leading the Cowboys at the end of games when they were behind. Tough way to go out :\

On that note, RGIII & Morris' running game last night Next week against Seattle is gonna be a great matchup.

The Dallas Cowboys needed quarterback Tony Romo to come up big against the Washington ******** on Sunday night. Instead, he threw three interceptions, including a crucial fourth-quarter pick that contributed to the Cowboys' season-ending loss. After the latest down moment in Romo's inconsistent career, I think it's time for Dallas to move on; it's time for the Cowboys to cut ties with Romo.

Romo lost that crucial game last night but Romo is the sole reason this team was even in contention this year to begin with.  If anything the Cowboys should fire Jason Garrett and stick it out with Romo.

 

[al3xis]

You can do a lot worse than Tony Romo.

 

[Kimchi Papi]

I'd like to see Jerry bring Norv back to Dallas as OC. Romo def has talent...

the damning stat for romo is 1-6 in elimination games while staubach/aikman were both something like 12/4. Says a lot.

I do agree w/ Allen in that you can do a lot worse than Romo, but I wouldn't be surprised if Jerry had a knee-jerk reaction and parted ways with him before the start of the 2013 season. Remember, Romo also wants a contract extension.

Gonna be a VERY interesting offseason for the Cowboys.

I think it'll need to be an entire season of poor performances from Romo for Jerry to finally cut him off. But he carried them to be in the position they were in. There is a lot more wrong with the Cowboys than Romo. You can't blame injuries for everything. It's been 3 offseasons I'm saying this but Jason Garrett has to go. They need a big name/game coach to come in and Jerry is going to have to eventually give up some power in the FO.

Now if Ryan Mallet became available...

Arkansas boy for Jerry. He'd do it

 

[proshares]

I remember holding my breath during the draft praying he wasn't going to trade up for him.

Anyway, the only way I can see them getting rid of him is if they get someone who is no doubt better than him for this team. There's no one on the market or who they can potentially trade for that would be better. Right now, the focus has to be O-Line and depth in the defense. A complimentary back could help as well.

Yeah, that's a damning stat for Romo indeed.  When pressure is applied, it seems as if Romo doesn't step up to challenge and win the big one.  Either way, with the team they had this year, the big lack of defense, and no running game for most of the season, IMO Romo did the best he could with what he had for the most part.

@TRIPPINGOLNEY: GOTTA BE TOUGH FOR COWBOYS FANS TO WATCH THIS, ESPECIALLY SINCE THEIR LAKERS ARE .500 AND THEIR YANKEES HAVEN'T DONE MUCH THIS WINTER

Yo...my uncle is just like this...Cowboys/Lakers/Yankees fan...

 

[Peep Game]

Jerry is probably waiting on Tyler Wilson instead of making a move for Mallett

 

[childishlatino]

Just a thought:

3 Elite QBs are sitting home this playoffs (Brees, Roethlisberger, Manning)

3 rookie QBs are playing in this playoffs

Wow.
