Sometimes a fellow has to call 'em as he sees them. We're going to lose a few games this year. I just don't happen to think it'll be this one. Respect for saying what you've gotta.

Going out on a limb here. Panthers 31 Cowboys 14 Robby picks up 87 yards and a TD, proves he's still playing after he got the big check. Bold prediction: Erickson scores a TD. (Return or Pass or Rush).

The Cowboys are a good team with a fantastic offense and a decent defense. There ya go. That's the same thing they said about the Saints going into week 2. We're going to be fine. The Cowboys aren't scared of us. Yet.

Great write up, I'd only add to not give up on Chuba if he gets stonewalled early. He had that problem against the Texans at first, but then started getting some nice gains. He may well be one of those backs that needs time to get into rhythm. The key is to play our ball game, not the Cowboy's one.

There's the Fiz of old.

This is just about the smartest way to look at Darnold right now. Let's just say he did three years of residency in Hell's Kitchen's ER before really landing in the NFL. When considered through that lens, he's doing really, really well.

I agree! Those were great little segments!

Oh goodness, not the power Smurfs look. Whew, it's bad, so bad.

When will Bouye take the field?

Just a little too soon to say. Not fair to either the greats of the past (2003 in particular), nor to the current team. Let's not add any weight to their backs before they've really made a name for themselves. Only three games in now, there's a long way to go, a lot to prove and hopefully some things to marvel over that we hadn't imagined yet.

Missy Elliott has two songs in the top 50. Just sayin'. And it's not an anti-rap bias for me. Outkast certainly deserves to be there with both Hey Ya and B.O.B. Still, Fight the Power at #2??? Really? Rush's Limelight only makes #435? Ef 'em

Bohemian Rhapsody being beaten out by Beyonce`. And that pretty much sums it up for me. While a sh!tty list.

In the end, this will make them much better at their jobs.

This game is going to be decided by the lines. All the fan favorite guys on Dallas won't matter if our defensive line can run rampant over their patchwork line. The same holds true for us. In the end, I'm looking forward to us winning the contest. I take a bit of shameful enjoyment when I see Cowboys fans disappointed. And I think their fans are just a little too sure of their chances right now.

That was really interesting! May the streak continue!

Honestly, if I had thought it through I'd have seen that the coaches probably are prohibited from talking to him prior to a trade, otherwise it could create all sorts of tampering issues.

Strangely, that's an improvement for this team, historically speaking.

Let's see how we do against Dallas' offense first. If we brutalize them, then a nickname is warranted. If we get beaten up, let's just skip it for a while.

Well, there goes that.

There's absolutely no chance that Matt Rhule didn't talk with this kid before the trade was made. If Rhule thinks he can be rehabbed with a change of scenery here, then I'm going to have to trust him on this one. Coach Snow had to have talked to him, too, to see if he could handle his job in our defense. If this goes as well as the Sam Darnold trade did, then it's going to be a good move, perhaps even a great one. Expect to see Fitterer and Rhule looking for more top pick players stuck with dumpster fire teams to trade for. If you rescue enough good dogs and train them up, sooner or later you get Benji. Along the way you're going to build up a lot of good karma, too. It's a different approach and a new one. If you think it through, though, there's a touch of genius in it.

Just hoping the guy finds peace, happiness and success here. A lot of folks do, on and off the field.

This is a really big concern for me right now. I'd like to know better that we spent our picks wisely on these guys and aren't just following our history of not being able to draft good linemen.

Really like his comments on Ricci. Fullbacks aren't relics, they're versatile and play well into our style/needs. Love Baldy's Breakdowns!

Blow?
