Since the retirement of Troy Aikman in 2001, Jerry Jones has made Tony Romo and Dak Prescott the faces of his franchise while other quarterbacks who were drafted since 2001 went to other teams. Jerry could have gotten Drew Brees, Philip Rivers, Aaron Rodgers, Matthew Stafford, Russell Wilson, Josh Allen, or Patrick Mahomes, but he went with Romo and Prescott for twenty years.

I was ready to accept the L. The Eagles did not play the way I hoped they would at all. It was raining, but the offense just could not get into the in-zone after the TD pass. Defense gave up way too many chunk plays, but came up clutch at the last minute. I need them to play much better in order to convince me that they can go back to a SB.

They finally recognizing Detroit as a threat! I'M SO GEEKED!

As a Cowboy fan, am glad to see their performance against Giants 40-0 is not an easy feat playing against any NFL team. But let’s not overly hyping the team just yet, as it is still game number 1 of the long 17 games season. Anything can still happen. The defence is elite but the offence still needs some work. Do hope this year Cowboys can go all the way. 😀

Mac inherited an NFL worthy game plan (for a change) that allowed him to pick apart Philly's middle parts. Expect more of the same, NE will emerge as a team nobody wants to play.

“Did you?! Oh my goodness”

I feel like they’re putting too much blame on the Eagles defense when it was the Os fault. They put them in position to be up 16-0 with a pick 6 and a short field with a fumble. As a defense you’re going to give up plays when you’re on the field the whole time because the offense is going 3 and out drive after drive
