Great game. Congrats to the Packers.

The bottom line is it was a great season for the Cowboys and it was a lot of fun watching them this year. I think we have a good base to work on, and look forward to next year. I just hope Witten comes back.

You've got a great young QB. You'll be fine.

Which "Hot Taker" will be the first to say that Romo would have won that game. Because you know it's coming.

My money is on Bayless.

Nah. Bayless stuck with his Aaron Rodgers bashing shtick and is saying Rodgers was "lucky."

Without question.

Here's a good video of Michael Irvin interviewing Jerry Jones. This interview took place at Jerry's office at the new Cowboy's practice facility. "The Star."

I personally can't stand Jones, but I do give him his dues as a business man.
Anyway, here ya go.

Romo to Texans, please.

I've heard/read that the money is almost impossible to work out on that.

You'd need somebody to take on Osweiler and his contract.

I think the best landing spot for Romo is what everybody is talking about, but it'd take the Broncos an effort to lift their heads from their asses to appreciate the opportunity. Maybe they're just posturing to drive down the inevitable asking price...

AZ would be a good spot too, but I think I read that old man Carson intends to play next season.

Not true - the Texans are stuck with Osweiler's cap hit this year ($19 mil). You don't really trade contracts in the NFL.

The hard part with any Romo trade is not fitting Romo's salary in his next team's cap, it's squeezing $24 mil into Dallas' cap in 2017.

Of course Romo would be an upgrade at QB for the Broncos. But if they don't improve their O-line, it wouldn't matter.

Aaron Rodgers is the best quarterback I've ever seen, but I think the Falcons are going to roll today. I don't think Green Bay's defense has a prayer of stopping Atlanta's offense, and I think Atlanta's pass rush will make enough plays to get some stops. In my opinion, Green Bay's only chance is to use a hyper aggressive game plan (i.e., going for it on 4th down, trick plays, onside kicks), but that's not how McCarthy typically coaches.

Gunpowder · Post by **Gunpowder** » Sun Jan 22, 2017 11:56 am

Hell, that's not how anybody coaches and it blows my mind. 2-11 teams just punting on 4th and short and shit.

Tornado watch just issued.

The really hard part with any Romo trade is that he's a 36 year old, oft-injured, very brittle QB who hasn't played in 2 years and tends to have meltdowns in the playoffs. Sure, he might last through a season and do well for a team that's a "QB away" from the Super Bowl, but I wouldn't count on it.

11 people dead in Georgia storms. Wow.

And I like the Falcons -5.

Too gritty for his own good...

A_B · Post by **A_B** » Sun Jan 22, 2017 3:51 pm

Is that a safety?

I guess not. I guess momentum carried him into the end zone?

One more TD from Atlanta and I can't see how GB comes back. Apparently Sanu SENIOR is the 2nd coming of Jerry Rice.

rass · Post by **rass** » Sun Jan 22, 2017 3:55 pm

Officially, no. But you know that by now.

I thought the roll was part of the recovery.

And hi Johnnie. Fuck your team today, buddy.

GOodness the packers need to cut it out with the zone defense.

I think "ha" would have been the correct response.

As a Packer hater this game has had everything even a face mask ON Rodgers.

When did Tony Romo "meltdown" in the playoffs? When he dropped that extra point snap?

Meltdown may be laying it on too thick, but fairly or not, Romo has had a reputation among some for allegedly coming up small in big games. McButterpants wrote an article about it a couple years ago.
