Zeke Suspended for 6 Games.. are the Cowboys Fucked This Year?

[Last Ride]

Late to this thread and haven't read all of it.

My 2 cents. The O line is not as good as last year. No Leary. No Free. Smith is battling injuries. Zeke is distracted and looks like he is carrying extra weight on his body and mind.

Defense whiffed on Taco in the draft. Defense will be on the field too much because offense seems to be unable to ball control. Is that because of changes or the Coaching staff or owner? Million dollar question.

agree, Last Ride.. the Cowboys are definitely weaker, and the league is catching up some, to Dak and Zeke.. a learning curve in year two.

I think the Boys will slip by today..


Dallas (Arlington) 27

San Francisco (Santa Clara) 23

Not sure about Boys slipping by. SF has lost all of its games by small margins. Boys do have a history of playing down to opponents.

CT I hope you are a better predictor than I am.

Go Boys.

too funny you would have been better at story telling than predicting football wins.

cowboys up 33-3 after 3 quarter's (the route is on}
10:49 left in 4th quarter, 40-3 and SF was lucky to get those 3 points. slip by?

Cowboys pulling out their starters and still whooping SF
Final score 40-10

"COWBOYS -6.5 POINTS IS THE BEST BET OF THE DAY"

the Cowboys slipped by 40-10, LOL.. I didn't want to say the Boys would crush the Niners, I believed that, but with Kaapernick and his kneeling shit, I didn't want to be called a Racist

Did the Cowboys get there act together or are the 49ers just that bad?

hahaha.. I think it was both.. probably 60% got it together, 40% the 49ers suck bad.

[rexdutchman]

Against the 49res 0-7 Yup that was a real tuff team to beat !! I hope they got their shit together But we will see

San Fran really sux. Cowgirls no credit

Bleacher has the game on Sunday, Washington 30-23.

That's more points than Washington has scored this season in any game thus far AND the Cowboys defensive line looks really good!

The Redskins won against the 49ers in week 6 but barely! They allowed 24 points.

The Cowboys blew up the 49ers the very next week. They forced turn overs and got the 49er offense off the field.

The other Zeke didn't show up either. We got the feed me, player hurdling, salvation army kettle jumping, bad ass that spoiled us so last year.

This suspension thing is put to bed for now. Hopefully his mind is right

I Guess it comes down to who shows up next week in DC. If the team we saw in week 7 comes to the game, then we are gold. Otherwise.....

Former Super Bowl winning coach Brian Billick framed things up earlier this week rather tidily on his weekly interview show (especially when directing his remarks per The Cowboys) :

The current collective bargaining agreement, in essence, has helped (or hurt, depending on how you look at it) in watering down the product we see today in the NFL. Restrictions on allotted time allowed during the season for week-to-week practices (ie: NO contact...NO padded practices especially affects teams whose offensive identity is that of a Running Team>>>>any team in particular come to mind per that statement?) Bottom line, as Billick put it, teams "get to finally practice their running plays DURING THE COURSE of the game itself".

That said....a team (like Dallas, for example) going through the process of replacing two offensive linemen, is obviously going to have a few hiccups along the way. Cooper and Collins are not near as experienced / polished as Free and Leary....at least, not yet. Only time and reps will yield the desired results.....

Funny though how fans and media alike wanted to immediately pin the problems of the running game directly on Zeke. He came in distracted...uncommitted...out-of-shape...complacent. Take your pick of whatever over-hyped ramblings from the local and national talking heads you choose.

This is not to say that the legal issues Zeke and his attorneys have been contesting in the courts these past few months have not been a problem. A looming suspension...loss of 6 weeks pay and playing time...soiled reputation...etc, etc would have taken its toll (mentally, emotionally) on any of us were we in his shoes (all that at the age of 22 btw...)

Guess we'll know this time next week once that New York-based judge is back from vacay and makes his / her ruling. No doubt, a Dallas Cowboy team MINUS Zeke for a month-and-a-half does not bode well for keeping pace with the surging Iggles, does it?

[pyramider]

Zeke will make more next year thus lose more money next year if he sits six games next year because rookie contracts increase in money every year.

God Damn.. I had to wait 5 fucking minutes to post this little remark in Sandbox.. are you guys getting restricted here, too? I may stop posting here, like I did Coed.. these rules are getting ridiculous.

anyway, as I started to post 5 minutes ago, where upon I found I couldn't post for another 4 minutes.. no way is this score going to happen.. the Boys would have to roll over completely.. I'm going with the Cowboys, 31-17..

the Astros have to win tonight (I'm not pulling up that thread, and waiting 5 more God Damn minutes to say this, LOL).. no way can they take 2 in Los Angeles.. they must find a way to beat Kershaw tonight.. I think they are up to it.

Astros 5-3 tonight.
