Stuck in Texas

Recommended Posts

Most of you know I'm stuck living in Texas, thanks to the burdens that are work, wife and kids, and unless I find an acceptable way of watching the preseason online, I'm gonna be counting on you guys for good updates... I know the board will have dozens of threads with everyone's opinions, but if some of you would be so kind as to watch a few specific areas for me and maybe give me a small 'Cliff Notes' version of what you see, I'd be quite appreciative... I'm specifically interested in (probably same as most of you):

- Clausen's handle of the offense (the better he is, the better off we are, whether it's as a backup, the starter or trade bait).

- Cam's handle on the spotlight. Does he look overwhelmed? Have they seemingly simplified the offense for him, and just how much has he apparently caught onto after 2 weeks of practice? Very interested in his decision making.

- Thomas Davis and whether or not he's 100% or is he skittish after 2 ACL injuries?

- The DBs are a huge question mark. Anybody seem to step up and answer the challenge?

- Special teams last year often seemed to simply be going through the motions. Has that changed? Any young hard chargers?

- Crowd reaction to Mare?

- How's the intensity on the sidelines from the coaching staff?

- The Defensive Line. Anybody stand out good or bad?

- The OL. They look like '09 or '10? Otah contribute?

- I don't know much about Nanee, other than he's one letter away from having a really great last name, but can he play football?

- Anybody come out injured at all?

- It's a young team, with some good talent, but it's gotta be executed properly. With a new system in place, and limited practices, I expect it to be sloppy to begin with. Just how sloppy does it look tonight?

- And basically anything else you think is interesting.

Pie, rep and eternal undying friendship to anybody willing to hook me up on these specific areas of question! =)

for 20 bucks you can watch every preseason game online at nfl.com

Somebody mentioned this earlier and seems like a very reasonable deal.

For true? Perhaps they're testing the market. I'd love to be able to pay a price to see any regular season game on NFL.com. Of course their may be some licensing issues with DirecTV, but Sunday Ticket exlusivity ain't gonna last forever (if it even exists).

Nance, that's $5 per Panthers game during the pre-season. Might be worth it, especially if you're stuck with the Cowboys.

Yeah I spent $20 bucks on that NFL.com deal and was streaming it to my tv. Pretty good deal IMO.

I'm local but thought about doing it anyway to watch other games to watch other teams players on the bubble,rookies,and players with their new teams.

was there an app to stream it to your tv or did you just go to nfl.com on your tv?

Stuck with them may be an understatement (woman put up a Cowboys' Christmas tree a couple years ago!)...

Wanna guess which statement would be worse in my house?

Statement #1:

Honey, I'm having an affair and don't love you anymore, have 3 kids with other women, sold your horse for poker money and hate your parents.

or

Statement #2:

I really f'ing hate the Cowboys.

Hell, the NFL and Sony need to get together and develop an NFL-PS3 app. NFL football via the PS3.

Knowing my luck, Microsoft will get on board first. Now that would piss me off more than the COD DLC 30 day exclusivity deal with X-Box 360. I could live with letting them stream the pre-season and PSN giving me double XP for a month.

My computer has an HDMI out so I used that. Comes out with a real good picture.
