Apparently part if Dak's hamstring muscle actually pulled away from the bone.  He's definitely out 4-6 weeks, minimum.

Barring a miracle, he's out for the season.

There's really no reason for him to try to come back - the Cowboys are toast anyway, and now they have a convenient excuse to explain the upcoming losses.

Very convenient so Jerry doesn't have to admit he's a terrible GM.

IIwish Dak the best and hope he has a good recovery.

 

 

[Carey]

The opposite could be the case, and Jerry still will not admit that he's a terrible general manager.

Then there's Mike McCarthy, who probably should just quit.  Or ask Mr. Jones to fire him right away.  That would be messed up if he was forced to stay there until the end, and he ends up doing that

I know I'm sure as hell not going to get up at 6:30 to watch it. 😂

I don't even wake up until halftime of the 10:00 games.  I have never seen an early morning game in my life.  If a 6:30 game consisted of the Giants playing the Cowboys, and the football gods were actual omniscient things, assuring me the Giants would beat the fucking shit out of the Cowboys, causing Jerry Jones to fall out of his skybox onto the field in the middle of his defeated players, I would still sleep through it and just watch the highlights on the news when I woke up.

[Carey]

That sequence was funny as hell, in all honesty, Bastet.  But: Using Dallas as an example isn't completely great.

No, any game featuring the Cowboys is worth sleeping through, period.  The league can put them on Sunday Night Football all it wants.  Human beings opting to spend time painting his or her garden hose is a much BETTER use of time over watching a Dallas Cowboys football game.  Anytime, anywhere.

[Fukui San]

I remember last season apologizing to Germany for the Patriots stinking up the joint. 

This year it appears the Giants are the team that need to issue the apology and they’re playing the Panthers. 
 

Germany, one of these years we’ll send you actually good teams. 

[twoods]

I was expecting a 0-0 tie, so yay to the Panthers for scoring so the poor Germany fans aren’t bored to tears.

I will apologize to Germany on New York Jersey’s behalf.

Holeeeee fuck I would rather have no hope than have Lucy pull the football away again, some more.

[Magog]

Gee, I wonder how that useless, worthless $10 Billion Dollar "Brand" will humiliate themselves today?! I can't wait for another dose of that Walk Of Shame from these losers after they go down at home to the Eagles today. Maybe, we will get lucky & Jerry Jones will throw a temper tantrum today or even better, show us some tears after another loss.

Since the Giants beating the Cowboys is my favorite thing in football, even without Jerry Jones falling out of a skybox, it is indeed completely great as my "not even for this" scenario.

And, yes, I am awake during a 10:00 game thanks to some asshole scam caller.  FOX has no morning game and CBS is giving me the Chiefs, so I'm trying to go back to sleep.

Edited November 10 by Bastet

[Salacious Kitty]

Yeah, I 've got the Niners on Fox and the Chiefs on CBS. That's what Red Zone is for. 😀

[Carey]

Believe it or not, this is the first time I'm enjoying NFL Red Zone for the 2024 season.  A number of things happening this year that made it worthless to utilize until Week 10.  As those came up (and departed), it was a plan I had even before Free Agency late winter/early spring.

Anyway, as mentioned, Red Zone is the gift that keeps on giving.  Especially this week thus far with a ton of close contents that'll likely come down to the wire.

Not sure if the Witching Hour took place yet

My options were Buffalo at Indy or San Fran at Tampa.  I chose Tampa.

And Baker Mayfield demonstrated that you really only need one arm to throw a pass.  And and Kyle Shanahan is looking ROUGH.  Oof.

[Carey]

With the assumption that Larry Csonka passes on drinking within the annual outcome that leads to it, there's no one left to pop the champagnes.  Still a great win at Arrowhead!

 

[Salacious Kitty]

Chiefs block a game winning FG attempt by Denver and win. FML.

[twoods]

Stupid Broncos. 
 

Just got to hope that these lucky wins will lead to them losing in the playoffs. Who am I kidding, they are going to win another SB. FML.

[Fukui San]

Was the block one from this new strategy of having a player push down the long snapper while another player jumps over him which is somehow not made illegal when they made jumping over linemen illegal?

The Giants were the first team to do that and it’s interesting that a pretty clear loophole hasn’t been closed.  

[twoods]

I thought that they call players for that now and it’s a penalty. 

[Carey]

I have to double check on that play for a foul there.  I think he was fine, but there was more effort toward it than what Minkah did against the Jets, and the latter was called when it shouldn't have been a penalty

[Carey]

Oh yeah!  Whew!  Man that felt SO great!

[ebk57]

I hate the Steelers.

That is all.

[Carey]

Fuck the Ravens.

That is all.

[twoods]

I don’t like the Steelers but it’s nice to see Russell Wilson do well. How in the world are they 7-2? 
 

Sam Darnold seems to be back to his usual form. 

[mojoween]

So far today I have rooted for the Giants, Tampa and Washington for that little bit they showed on CBS.  So that’s fun.

Great defense & decent run game.  They probably could've been tied with Kansas City.  To be honest, they should be tied with the champions.

The big difference is the above, coupled with actually having a real OC.  Feels like they're doing something & have learned from their mistakes.

They always do better when they are underestimated.

Seeing Wilson so happy about that penalty made my day.  Love how he has embraced being a Steeler.

It also helps they don't have QB drama this year.  

[Carey]

Twoods: To add to what you said about Russell Wilson, I can see it.  It sort of goes both ways.  To further explain, if I had the option of throwing a life preserver to Baltimore or to Dallas, both about to drown in an ocean, I'd choose the latter.  Because the chances are greater that it would be picked off by a wave or something.

I do respect the Ravens as they're greatly run.  Top to bottom they're top notch on how to run an organization.  Then there's Lamar who has no ego.  A guy one can root for.  As mentioned by someone else, impossible not to like.  I might hate a team, but there are players that I'd love.  Can't say that about several teams; meanwhile I can like a team but dislike a player within that franchise

[Crashcourse]

Dammit Commanders!  You coulda shouda won this!    😬

I feel that way about Dak. I've always liked him for some reason. Hopefully, he has a full recovery and gets traded to a decent team. (Won't happen as he signed a huge extension, IIRC)

This is just one more example of infinite recent examples of why we can't have nice things.

Russell Wilson sure throws a beautiful long ball.  I wasn’t happy when they replaced Justin Fields but I guess Mike Tomlin obviously knew what he was doing.  

[Carey]

I guess that's a reason to be happy if you're from Western PA.  Not the move, but winning.

Meanwhile, speaking of happy, that's the mood watching Jets/Cards

[twoods]

Wondering if they will suspend Deebo for grabbing his teammate’s throat. Absolutely disgusting to watch. 

[Carey]

I'm not sure who you're referring to when you say "they" but IMO any suspension will come from the team itself.  League discipline will be in the form of a fine, and that's it

[kathyk2]

Who would have thought that the Cowboys and Patriots would have the same amount of wins? First Take will be fun tomorrow.

[baldryanr]

Deebo will get a stern talking to (if that) - he's far too important for them to issue a suspension over something like this.  Heat of the moment, proof he's a competitor, it's an internal issue, etc.

[mojoween]

It would be easy to feel sorry for the Cowboys with how nothing is going right for them.

Bwahahahahahaha FUCK the Cowboys!  Only thing that sucks is that Jerrah has a built-in excuse with his starting QB out.

On an unrelated note, the hubby said that Kelce’s Favorite Cereal is pretty good (Lucky Charms, Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Reese’s Puffs mixed together).  If it didn’t have the Reese’s I would have tried it too.  Seriously, we don’t need to stick peanut butter into everything.

This is the guy for all your special teams needs:

 

[mojoween]

Ok. Ok ok ok.  The Texans unis are wretched from the neck down, but what in the ever-loving hell is on their heads?

[twoods]

It is not Goff’s night. Yikes.

[Carey]

Most INT in the game than the games that preceded SNF, and that's combined.  Go figure.

[twoods]

5 interceptions and they still won. Unreal.

[mojoween]

I fell asleep over an hour and a half ago and color me shocked to wake up and see that Detroit was not only not blown out of the stadium, but they won the game.

[AimingforYoko]

I was a little surprised when I looked it up, but the winning QB throwing 5 interceptions has happened 18 times.

[merylinkid]

Good teams find a way to win.

See Chiefs blocking a field goal and Lions kicking a last second field goal (AGAIN).

Yeah I never thought I would say that about the Lions.

As for the Cowboys, blinded by their own stadium.   And Jerry doesn't care because it would change the look of the place to hang some curtains.   Form over function to the nth degree.

Oh, they're blinded by so many other things & its not just their stadium. 

The only bad thing about yesterday's beatdown is that Jerry Jones didn't throw a temper tantrum or showed some tears over his team season being basically over. Hopefully, somebody (preferably a sharp cactus) gave Jerry a hug last night & tell him that it's going to be all right. 

Speaking of losers, here is another weekly dose of the Cowboys Walk of Shame. 🤣 🤣 🤣

 Watch Dallas Cowboys players reactions after another loss to the Eagles

It gets even better. Here are the Eagles & their fans making fun of the Cowboys at their own stadium. 🤣 🤣 🤣

Watch the Eagles players and fans mock the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T

This stuff just warms my heart on so many levels.
