We've moved from 12 to 11 so far today. Falcons , Cowboys, Cardinals all playing right now. Colts play on Monday night. We play the Colts next weekend. Lot of this can change quite a bit in the last 2 weeks of the season considering a lot of the records are so close in terms of W-L. 

Lot is riding on if we beat or lose to the Colts IMO. 

1. Bengals (1-13) 

2. Redskins (3-11)

3. Giants (3-11) 

4. Dolphins (3-11) 

5. Lions (3-10) 

6. Cardinals (3-9-1)

7. Jaguars (4-9) 

8. Falcons (4-9) 

9. Jets (5-9) 

10. Broncos (5-9) 

11. Panthers (5-9) 

12. Chargers (5-8) 

13. Raiders (6-7) 

14. Colts (6-7) 

15. Cowboys (6-7) 

16. Browns (6-7)

wow that is some bullshit... changing who gets the ball during half time without alerting one of the teams is some total bias bullshit.

so for those not watching the cowboys-rams shitshow, Dallas won the coin toss and Prescott said they wanted "to kick."  The ref confirmed, Dak said yes, they want to kick.  Then, Dak clarified they wanted to defer; but the ref didn't seem to hear that.  So the Rams were told they would get the ball at the start of the game - and at the start of the 2nd half.  Dumb!

But then, New York reviewed the coin toss during the half and awarded Dallas the 2nd half kickoff, without telling the teams what was going on.  So LA came out expecting to receive the kick.  And it may have influenced LA's strategy at the end of the first half too.

Just bullshit.

That whole thing was an absolute mess.

I get that Dallas *should* receive the 2nd half kickoff, but that decision should have been made in the first quarter, not during half time without alerting the Rams.

edit: the announcers also implied the Cowboys knew they'd get the ball to start the 2nd half too..

    • I think the book has been fairly written on Darnold, and by and large stays true. He can be rattled by pressure, and will lose his composure. If a team can get to him and have something go wrong in the plan, the mistakes and errors will pile up. Rams have a better offense, Seahawks sport a better defense. Should be a good 1.
    • Not a defense of him...an understanding of the problem. (something you seem to be lacking right now) 🙄 Bryce in a Canales offense is not an example of a stylistic mismatch, but I can give you one if that helps. When he was playing for the Panthers, Cam Newton sat under OC's running Coryell type offenses. Newton had a big arm and was a strong runner. He fit into that sort of attack very well. Then he goes to New England, where at the time they were running an Earhardt-Perkins system (similar to WCO In a lot of what they do but very different terminology). The Patriot offenses back then were heavily based on timing and rhythm style passing, not something that Newton was especially well suited for. So he washed out at New England, not because he had poor ability (his abilities had been on display here on a regular basis) but because he didn't fit what they wanted to do with their offense. I always go back to Jeff Garcia as one of the prime examples of this issue. Garcia in a WCO looked like a world beater. Put him in any other scheme though...yikes!  So again, Young's issues here have nothing to do with any failure to mesh with Canales. Hell, is say Canales has actually done pretty well at adapting his system to who he has rather than trying to jam square pegs into round holes. Again, it doesn't take an elite level of football knowledge to get this. It's pretty basic. But if you're not even capable of understanding what the real problem is, how are you going to know you to find the right solution? 🤔
