Thanksgiving wager suggestion...?

Honestly I would not bet we will beat them in the regular season. I have seen too many times where we had the game won and they called some stupid penalty.  How about when Peppers blocked the field goal and a penalty was called and Dallas got the ball inside the 10 with a first down.  Then in 2012 we get the yards on fourth down on our side of the 50, the Cowboys get called for 12 men on the field and get a mystery timeout which negates both things.  Then we get a no call on a clear PI with Louis Murphy on the same play which gives them the ball.  Top it off with a phantom horse collar tackle on Anderson which extended their drive.  All in the space of a minute.  And this was at BOA.  Imagine how worse it will be in Dallas in their stadium.

I do recall all of that p55, which is leaning me towards these 2 bets instead of W/L-straight up... I know we're 0-9 from Sept to Dec & 2-0 in Jan against them...

But it's been decided.. 2 bets, a 5th of GentlemanJack on each, I took the under on both 100yds rushing for their starting back & Romo throws for 3 TDs... The way I see it, he's fixing to fill my glasses until at least Christmas.... Or it's a wash at worst, don't see either of his proclamations coming to fruition....

Need a suggestion for teh tie breaker wager... As both previous bets were on our D, he wants to bet on our O somehow... He suggested the Cowboys will hold the Panthers to under 325yds, I thought about an o/u bet on Hardy's sacks, say set it at 3....

I know its early, Im not wanting to bet on win/loss straight up. I'll come up with something, but some outside ideas are welcomed... Like the Panthers ass on the forehead, need to find somebody that would take that bet....

No way in hell they have a single RB than can rush for 100. There would have to be some miscommunication and a 90 yard TD rush for that to even be possible against our D. Romo may throw for 3 TD's but I would bet that he throws at least one INT too. As far as our offense, I would bet no turnovers against their defense.

      Some Tet appreciation

      He has a lot to work on for sure but he has been a huge boost to the offense. It's nice to finally have an elite WR.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By strato · Posted

      We have been on that roller coaster ride already. He needs to have streaks far longer than a couple of good games.  People raved about the Green Bay game in 2023. Which was mostly a good 2nd half and hot 4th quarter.  Ask me what happened the next four games, if you don’t remember. or just go look them up. There isn’t much to see.  The end of last year had some good things and one excellent outing, and look up what followed that, which you won’t have to but he came out this year looking like week 1 2023.  Now he is on a game and a half streak, against a bad Miami team and lowest rated defense in the league - at home.  This is the reality in the big picture. He needs to break his pattern, in a positive way.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      This "noodle arm" characterization just baffles me. There's way more involved in a successful downfield passing attack than simple air yards. Let's take two stat-lines for throws of 40+ air yards (no YAC) from the last 3 seasons: 5/29 (17%) for 3 TDs and 2 INTs 1/9 (11%) for 1 TD So with three times the number of attempts, you net +6% completion percentage, the same TD rate, and 2 arm punt INTs to boot. The first player is Mahomes, the second is Bryce. Clearly Bryce attempts these throws at a much lower rate, but his success rate is quite similar to one of the most talented downfield throwers of all time. The takeaway isn't that Bryce is Mahomes-lite (if he was his usage rate for these would be much higher) but that these throws by their very nature are extremely difficult, very scheme-specific, and even an elite thrower can have wildly differing success rates season by season. And before we get into the complaints of cherry-picking, this is far more substantial information than the various insinuations that Bryce struggles to even get the ball 20 yards downfield, much less 40+. And the wildest part of this is that every time Mahomes threw a bomb over the last 3 season, 83% of the time the end result was failure, yet many Chiefs fans complain that he isn't taking even more shots downfield.
