I remember a few years back getting blasted by New Orleans. It always seemed as if we were completely clueless and unprepared after a bye. As if the team took the whole two weeks off to party.

Or, and this is just an observation, gruden didn’t know how to coach his way out of a paper bag 😂 the game following our bye week last year, we lost by only 3 points, would’ve won had it not been for smiths 3 INTs

When I first saw the schedule and the five division games to end the season I thought we were in a tough spot.

 

After thinking about it I still think we’re in a tough spot but so is every division opponent that has to face us those last fuve weeks.

 

One thing is certain-  we will either win the division in the last 5 weeks of the season OR be the ultimate decider of whoever does win it.

 

Now my goal is to find a way to get to week 14 with at least 6 wins then go on a tear for the division crown.

 

 

 

My first take as a Cowboys fan was that the NFL screwed Washington with those last 5 games.  But, as bad as the NFC East is, there is the possibility that more than 1 team in the East will be in tank mode at that point.

 

I hope the Cowboys are in it until the end. If they are not, I will be really hoping that it comes down to the Giants-WFT game at the end.  After all the anger from Giants fans last year about how it was unfair that "Philly tanked the 4th quarter or we would have won the division"... it would be so fun to watch an eliminated Giants team approach the final game if Philly was needing the WFT to lose in order to win the division.  So much salt between the teams in this division.

Everyone acts like Philly was going to win that game if they didn't tank. Honestly, there was no way Philly was winning that game regardless if they tried or not. We should have started Heinicke in that game, Philly would have gotten crushed because Alex was just completely broken at that point. Watching the Giants players and fans go into meltdown mode after that was pretty funny to watch though.

Giants fans have emulated their owner--a bunch of entitled, whiney ****s. They still act like their fluke-assed 2011 team was last year, not a decade ago, when the last 3 years or so, they've lost the most games in the NFL. Yet some how they always find a way to beat us. Drives me crazy.

 

Giants irk me WAY more than the Cowboys do.

Lol, my studio is on Dean Martin, about 50 feet away from Sapphires.

 

I just tried to research whether the Raiders plan to have full capacity as far as fans this season, the best I can find is the owner saying that's the goal but they'd monitor.

 

Have you heard anything one way or another?  I saw somewhere that Nevada still has some restrictions.  Granted I figure this should all change soon. 

 

 

On another note, I like all this NY Giant hate on this thread.  I've done my part for it.

There's basically no restrictions here. Gov is adhering to CDC guidelines and leaving it up to each Casino as to how to approach the mask situation. The big festivals, Life Is Beautiful, Punk Rock Bowling, EDC... all sold out with no restrictions so I fully expect 100% capacity. Pools, night clubs already open, Hockey team already at about 50% capacity for the game today. I'd be shocked if it's anything but completely open by then. Mark Davis lost a TON of money building the new stadium and not having a single event for a year.

thanks, looking at the map it seems like the stadium is walking distance from the strip?  The hotels closer to the Mandalay being the closest to it.

Mandalay, Luxor, still about a 30 minute walk but that’s basically everything in Vegas. Hopefully lyft and Uber get back to Normal by then so I wouldn’t let the proximity of hotels to be the definitive factor for where you stay, especially since they’ll be price gouging like no one’s business.

My guess would be he will be starting week 1, but I have not really followed his progress.  I expect him to be fine for the regular season.  The team is so full of question marks, I don't focus too much on Dak.  I may be too optimistic... but I am assuming the Cowboys' season will be terrible for reasons that are not related to Dak's health.

the Mandalay Bay has a great “toptional” pool called Club Morea.  Sadly it will be closed In December.  
 

This game really needed to be in September, dammit.

I really want to go to PRB. So many great bands. I'd kill to see a game in Vegas too. Got to be on the sidelines a couple times with fake press passes for Outlaw games the year XFL was alive. I cant imagine an NFL game. Sadly there's no possible way for me to leave island in September. Peak hurricane season is no joke.

A lot of Giants fans on the internet are super touchy about how much positive attention our team is getting right now. I think its because they view themselves as an up and coming team too but they don't have it together quite as much as we do yet.

PRB is a blast. Been doing it for 20 years solid now. We won the tourney back in 2012 and we finished third last time.

The only times I’ve been to Vegas, I’ve stayed on the strip.  Thinking downtown this year.  Any thoughts on the Golden Nugget, Plaza, D Las Vegas, Downtown Grand?  Any recommendations or places I should avoid?

I mean they're all more or less the same, depends on the kind of experience you want. Circa is the new shiny toy down on Fremont (home of the old San Francisco). Personally I hate the actual Fremont Street Experience (under the canopy), but the bar/restaurant scene just beyond it (around Fremont/Carson and Las Vegas Blvd) is phenomenal. 

[HigSkin]

I don't know where else to put this but hope stuff like this doesn't jinx us!  

 

 

15. Washington (7-9, lost wild-card game to Tampa Bay) 

I think everyone looks at WFT and figures, Nothing to see here. They’ll fall to earth with a thud this year. Not me. Washington went 5-2 down the stretch last year to steal the all-time-lousy NFC East, then gave the Bucs a game in the wild-card round. In that 5-2 run, Washington allowed 15.9 points per game. Four of the wins came on the road (Dallas, Pittsburgh, San Francisco, Philly), and each of those foes scored in the teens. Edge twins Chase Young (22) and Montez Sweat (24) might be the best young rush combination in the game. I’m bullish on this team—if Ryan Fitzpatrick is efficient leading the offense. No guarantee there, because, well, there’s never a guarantee with Fitzmagic. This is a 9-8 or 10-7 team, if it can survive Chargers-Bills-Saints-KC-Packers in the first seven weeks.

 

20. N.Y. Giants (6-10) 

GM Dave Gettleman’s free-agency spree reminds me of Jerry Reese’s last-gasp spree in 2016, when the Giants spent huge to buy a defense—Janoris Jenkins, Olivier Vernon, Snacks Harrison—and rode that to 11 wins and a wild-card berth. But it was unsustainable, and Reese paid with his job, and the Giants are 18-46 since. So now, with a win-now edict in effect from co-owner John Mara, the Giants spent $111 million in tight cap times for a gamebreaking wideout, Kenny Golladay, and a good corner, Adoree’ Jackson, to pair with James Bradberry. This can’t be a one-year fix, but rather the start of a good run for young quarterback Daniel Jones (the jury’s still semi-out on him) and a big piece for a defense that showed signs of being a playoff unit last year. For Jones, Gettleman could haven’t done more for him. Adding ultra-solid Kyle Rudolph for a year or two alongside Evan Engram gives the Giants tight end depth. Drafting Kadarius Toney in the first round give the Giants a corps of wideouts that could be a top-10 group if they perform to their résumés. Very interesting, and important, year for a team that’s been too disappointing for too long. Did you know this season’s the 10-year anniversary of New York’s last playoff win? That win, of course, was over the Patriots in the Super Bowl. But that deodorant has worn off. Jones will feel the heat, as will Gettleman, if the Giants stumble out of the gate.

 

21. Dallas (6-10) 

The best player in the NFC East is back, and if Dak Prescott is what he was when we last saw him for a season (2019: 4,902 passing yards, 30 TDs), with a receiving corps bettered by CeeDee Lamb, Dallas will be in the NFC East mix in late December. The bigger question is the defense, obviously. Imagine giving up, in eight of 16 games, 33 or more points . . . and then imagine being alive on the last weekend of the season with Andy Dalton at the helm. So much of this season depends on new defensive coordinator Dan Quinn’s ability to do what Mike Nolan couldn’t last year—install a complex system, much of that in Zoom meetings, and get players ready to react by opening day. Quinn is Dallas’ third defensive coordinator in the last 18 months. In an ideal world, Quinn, Seattle’s coordinator in 2013 and ’14, hopes he’s found his Bobby Wagner as the nerve center of his defense with first-round rookie Micah Parsons. But Quinn will need to hide a lot of warts in a porous secondary.

 

28. Philadelphia (4-11-1) 

This season falls under the category of a classic rebuilding year. The coach and quarterback who were the foundational long-term pieces of the team just nine months ago are gone, and Nick Sirianni and Jalen Hurts are in their places—for now. Come to think of it, that’s the most shocking thing that’s happened in the NFL in the last year. Sirianni and Hurts in, Doug Pederson and Carson Wentz out is, well, it’s more shocking than Tom Brady leading the Bucs to a world championship. The Eagles should have three first-round picks to replace Hurts if need be next April. But for the time being, Hurts will have his chance to be the Dak Prescott of the Eagles, the guy drafted as insurance but who took the job for himself and wouldn’t let it go. GM Howie Roseman did Hurts a favor by drafting his old friend from Alabama, Devonta Smith. I think Smith will be good in the NFL—he’s a competitive player who wins more 50-50 balls than a 6-0, 170-pound sprightly receiver should—and, as importantly, he won’t be cowed by the toughest fan base in the league. I think he’ll play to it and love it. But the Eagles have some long-term problems, like the state of an aging offensive line, and some significant age on the defensive front. I do like the Ryan Kerrigan addition, at least for one bridge year. A bridge year, the Eagles hope, to a brighter future after an offseason of mayhem.

This team is a 8-9 win team. If we do better than 9 wins; then Fitzmagic ruled the day and not Fitztragic.

I’d say we are an 8-12 win team, in an average to good division, with a tough schedule, and a load of tight competitive games ahead. 
 

Fine margins, not just at QB. In fact, I would say the performance of the D will more often than not dictate those fine margins between wins and losses.

Please excuse my belated response. Somehow I regretably missed this post until today.

 

I think @BurgundyYoda did a splendid job responding to the substance of your post. So I'll let that stand with my complete agreeance.

 

As for the tone of your post, I'd like to commend you for displaying courtesy and manners as an outsider visiting the humble internet home of my beloved WFT.

 

You came in peace and offered civilized discourse receiving the same in in return. An equitable bargain by any measure.  In doing so you gained both my attention and respect. 

 

I look forward to engaging in future discussions between us as natural rivals, not enemies.

 

I won't soil this  moment by making the usually obligatory Cowboys barb (though I am sorely tempted to do so). 😋

 

EDIT:

 

I tried but to heck with the niceties!

 

A priest, a rabbi and a traveling Dallas Cowboy pay a senile old farmer to spend the night in his farm. The farmers buxom daughter comes by to milk the cow and asks if anyone would like some warm milk.

 

The priest says, "No thank you, I'm not lactose tolerant."

 

The rabbi says, "No thank you the cow's not kosher and with all due respect neither are you."

 

The Dallas Cowboy player smiles and says, ( the following was censored for severely crude content by order of IET, the Internet Editing Team)

 

...and to this day no traveling Dallas Cowboy has ever drunk milk again. lol

If you're having season withdrawals, I suppose you can watch this. Note the first offensive play for WFT is a glitch. Logan is in the huddle. Bates is not but ends up in the formation (double TE set). Bates makes the first catch and Logan stays in to block. Hmm.
