GameDay Thread: Week 12

[DeMarco Murray 29]

I still think that the cowboys offense is the only offense in the NFC to watch with GB, hate to say it but if they get hot they can reach the Super Bowl

True. However, if the defense played like it did the past few weeks, Green Bay may score 60.

And now people want Barkley. Another USC pretty-boy :doh:

I'm actually torn on barkley(granted he couldn't come out), a year ago I would have said no. I would prefer us to go offensive line in the first, but I understand why people want the flashy pick over the trenches. That being said, this year if Kalil isn't available I may be inclined to go Barkley. Mainly because rookie contracts are no where near as insane as they used to be. He also seems like he is the most systematic qb in the draft outside of Luck. I don't see RGIII fitting what the Shanny's want and I don't feel like he is going to be as great as others are flocking to him feel he will be. Barkley to me seems like a qb who knows how to make better reads and seems more of what I would see from a Schaub. A qb that by no means is overly elite but surrounded with the right system he could flourish as a top 10-12 qb.

Romo sits to pee vs. GB defense = turnovers.

Disagree. Green Bay's defense is decent this year. Nothing spectacular. They just have the best offense in football to mask any mistake the defense makes.

[ACW]

Surrounded by the right system though...

[TakeTheFG]

Drew Brees says hello.

umm no. they have a shaky running game. I think behind GB, Bryant, Austin, Robinsotn and Witten are the best 4 in the nfc

They have the most INTs by far on defense. Romo sits to pee is prone to turnovers in big games and that defense is built to take advantage of that.

GB gives up a lot of yards but also force a lot of turnovers in return.

December is coming up, and the Cowboys don't get hot in December.

[Commander_N_Chief]

IMHO though(and I will say this as someone who has only seen a half dozen games or so involving the Trojans), USC runs a lot of what I've seen from Kyle. Wide Reciever screens, slants, and outs. QB boots to the left or right. I also noticed a few of the wide out crossing patterns last night in the game against UCLA. I think he would transition well for us.

And CJ Spiller kills me with how bad he has turned out to be. I remember last year taking him in the 3rd round of one of my fantasy leagues and thinking I had grabbed a steal.

He's not the same gun slinger he was in year's past. He's thrown 9 picks this year. He threw 7 in 6 games last year. The two he had on Thanksgiving were touchdowns had he not under thrown the receiver by a few feet. Two of those 9 picks were also dropped passes from his receivers.

:jetssuck:

[HapHaszard]

Falcons playing well against the Vikes, ok I just jinxed them

5-4 the past two seasons in December. Not too bad.

That's a fair argument, guess we'll just have to wait and see when the time comes. He's going to have play perfect to try and keep up the Packers. So far this year he's played against mediocre offenses for the most part (a few exceptions) and hasn't had to come out and try and keep up.

[ACW]

Skelton, dude, that's the 2nd time you've overthrown Fitz. And if you overthrow him, you suck.

I wouldn't call that getting hot., although with the schedule they have they should do pretty good.

Agreed. That is why I don't see Dallas keeping pace with Green Bay if they get to the NFC Championship/Any playoff game. Green Bay scores at will, which will then force Romo sits to pee to make plays, which then leads to picks.

But if they do play and they can run with Murray and keep the ball out of Rodgers hands, they have the skills to do so.

I feel bad for Fitz. He is a game changer, and a freak of a wideout. No defense can fully contain him...unless you count his quarterback. I traded him away this year in my keeper league. Best move I could have made.

That's true. But it also doesn't mean they collapse every year . One of those losses was to ... None other then JOHN SKELTON lol

[Rufus T Firefly]

Ummm... what makes their running game "shaky"? The 1 yard per game more that Dallas gains?

[Gibbs Hog Heaven]

Watching the Colts/ Panthers game, just because.

The Colts are still playing hard on defense. But that offense is like a junior high outfit.

Cam's just increased the rookie rushing TD record by another one BTW.

Hail.

Who'd you get?

[Commander_N_Chief]

Who'd you get?

It turned into a 3 for 3 trade:

I got AP, Gronkowski(i can't spell his name but the te for NE), and Cassell

he got AJ Green, Rivers, and Fitz

Even with cassell down and ap done for 1-2 games. I still feel good going into the playoffs.

[Phixius]

Haha, Rich Gannon that was some funny commentary there (Buffalo @ New York Jets)

[Gibbs Hog Heaven]

As I just finishing typing on the Colts pathtic O, they get a big PI call, and then follow it with a 17 yrd TD run. 7-10. Maybe this will be a game.

Hail.
