Expect a Loss Monday Night

Everyone who has frequented this board for any lengthened amount of time knows that I love this team with all that I am. But, I've come to the conclusion that something just isn't right with this team.

I hope they come out and surprise me Monday night, but I'm not holding my breath. On top of that, it's the Dallas Cowboys. If the last two games would've been switched and we were playing Atlanta on MNF instead, I would definitely think we could come out with a win. But, it's the Dallas Cowboys, it's MNF, national audience - You know what that means.

I'm guessing we get Mike Carey or Hocculi... One of the good company men as the head official. And thus, I expect similar results as past games. Obvious no calls, and blatant should've been no calls in the Cowgirls' favor. It's happened every time...

From Pepper's blocked FG that was ruled that he didn't touch it, to the Pass Interference calls on Drew Carter and Steve Smith, to any other one you can name. When we have played them in a Nationally Televised game that wasn't a playoff game, we have gotten screwed. BIG TIME.

And b/c of that, I expect to lose despite our efforts or improvements as a team this week. The schedule didn't work in our favor, and the officiating definitely won't this week. I know, officials supposedly don't win or lose games, but against Dallas, the calls that were or weren't made did win or lose the games.

Like I said, I hope our guys surprise me this week, but I don't expect it to be drastic enough to beat Dallas and their traveling crew of officials.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Actually that 4400 was based on a 16 game season to match Bryce's 16 games this year. Your offense has to be to drive the ball when it matters. Bryce doesn't do that with any level of consistency. If you're building a team that isn't focused on your QB, then fine. Then there's no need to pay Bryce as a franchise QB because literally anyone else will do. If you're going to pay him 50m plus per season, you have to be able to put the team on his shoulders and know he's going to carry the load. So far, when the pressure is on to get it done, Bryce has fallen miserably short of the target. 4-6 to finish out the season and 0-2 when all we need is a win to secure a playoff spot isn't stepping up and proving yourself as a franchise QB. I'd say it's quite the opposite.  There isn't a single coach in this league that would take Bryce over Burrow and very few if any that would take Bryce over Prescott. Hurts didn't have to throw in 2025 because Philly's defense was disgusting and Saquan had a MVP season. But then again, Hurts has shown that he can when it counts, and then there's his signature. Philly runs the tush push to lethal perfection, but that's a play we can't even consider with Bryce. You used 3 QBs from teams that had no defense to show QB stats don't always matter. When we had the worst defense in the NFL, we didn't see Bryce step up and carry the offense and put up gaudy numbers in a losing season because we were playing catch up. It was pretty much the opposite.  What have we seen from Bryce consistently to consider offering him a top 10 NFL franchise QB level contract? At the end of the day, that's all that matters.

      I mean, what fanbase has high expectations when you have a QB like Bryce leading your team?

      If you pay Bryce $50M a year you greatly limit your ability to put the type of team around him you need to have to have a chance to win. THAT is the problem. Hell, we can't win with him on a rookie contract. How the hell are we supposed to start winning with him paying him like a franchise QB and having to make tough roster decisions to accommodate his cap hit?
