You mean Tom Brady will actually have to call a non-Cowgirls game this weekend?!

Malik Nabers is the real deal. Hope he contributes considerably to a loss for the cowboys.

A quick perusal of the dallas forum is entertaining. It is in epic meltdown mode and full of saltiness.

Another loss .......... oh my.........I can even imagine.

Great start

Cowboys 3 and out in less than 1.5 minutes

Can’t believe the over/under is 45

I took the under and Cowboys by 10.

Figures it would depend on which defense found its feet.

Giants pass rush has been hitting on all cylinders lately, Cowboys have a good game plan to get the ball out of Dak’s hand ASAP.

My guess is Cowboys by ten. Media for the next week will crow about their coming out game. Then they lose to Pittsburgh, Detroit, and Niners, and everyone realizes who they really are

Never underestimate the ability of the Cowboys to disappoint their fans.

It's WAY overblown how "bad" Daniel Jones is. He's a "mid" QB, with some elite level talent, on a bad team. Add a couple weapons and better protection and he can ball. It's insane how armchair critics just hate on every QB without any real thought to it...

Pokes couldn’t give me the points. Damnit. The under and winner were good calls, though.

Looks like we're probably not going to have to worry about Nabors.

I don't know if I agree with that. He's only had 1 season where he's been 'mid' as a starting QB (2022). He has not cracked the level of being 'mid' for any other season. Every other year, he's been a bottom 10 starting QB.

So 'overblown' really depends on how strenuously people are saying how bad he is. He hasn't ever been the worst starting QB, for example, but he's very highly paid for a guy who has yet to have a single 'good' season.

Even in this game, where he looked decent to good at times, he never once was able to lead his team to a touchdown, underthrew receivers multiple times (and more than once in important situations), and aside from the pick to finish the game also threw multiple other INTs that were negated by penalties.


He's facing a struggling defense, his offensive line was giving him plenty of time to work, and he has some weapons on offense. And this 'mid' performance is what he puts together with all that--I'm not sure calling him bad is completely unjustified.
