  1. It was a shitass season, but when you put it in the perspective of the first year of a new regime, really about what one should expect. They weren't gonna win shit.
  2. I just don't think Guyton is a left tackle, and probably a marginal right tackle. Might even be a better guard than tackle. They may have to take an LT with an early pick, unfortunately, despite all the major needs on D. I think Steele is gone, despite the dead cap it will cost them. His contract was a disaster. Maybe they pick up an older tackle in free agency at a modest salary that still has something left in the tank. At RB I don't want to overpay Javonte, either, but he is the only real veteran presence that is a do it all kind of guy they need, including pass protection, which is a huge deal. It's hard to trust young guys. We'll have to see what the market is on him, but it may very well be too high. They need to get a pick for Turpin, who is a luxury guy that doesn't deliver enough for his salary. But there should be teams that feel they need guy like that. If Blue is on the roster, he probably takes the KR role. It's just a shame how many middle round picks the shit away for basically nothing in return for most of them.
  3. Atlanta winning would help pick up one more tick. Other than that not much else to effect the Cowboys first pick. Green Bay mainly matters if they get knocked out in the first round of playoffs. If they somehow get a win that cost several spots update: Falcons win, so Cowboys currently have the 12th overall pick. Miami would have to beat New England to improve one more spot.
  4. OK... That's one small step backward for season. One giant leap for draft time. Let's goooo!!! Giants could go from 2 to about 6 or 7. Nicely played.
  5. And nowhere near enough draft capital or cap space to address all that. If they do it right, they need to trade down the Packers first round pick to pick up some extra picks in rounds 2,3,4 ish range where they have decent chance to get safeties, LBs that can start and improve the roster. Biggest problem is they also need a good left tackle because they fucking blew it with Guyton.
  6. Mafah looks strong. RB situation gonna be interesting next year.
  7. Packers behind Vikes 13-0 at the half. You hate to see it...
  8. Shoulda ran a play there. No reason to play conservative there.
  9. Blue looking great, the OL is opening holes I could get 5 yards through.
  10. I can't root against the Cowboys to lose a game, but it would be better for them if they lost. Hopefully they throw a ton of backup in there and get some looks at younger guys, get Dak out of the game early.
  11. No problems here, remarkably. But the logo up top needs to be way bigger. And now there really isn't one. Can you just get AI to make a Longhorns logo made out of Cheez-its? I'm too lazy and out of practice to do photoshops these days, plus I don't have photoshop since they went full subscription cloud bullshit.
  12. Pre- BCS bowls were great, before the slotting and heavier conference ties. They tended to be really fun matchups where starters from the season actually played like it was a big deal, because it was a big deal to have an extra bonus game with a lot of watchers. Y'all young whipper-snappers don't even know. It was awesome.
  13. Green Bay claimed Diggs, assuming roughly half a mil of his remaining salary. So at least they kinda got something back for him. But with the Cowboys luck Diggs will probably play and make some key picks in the playoffs and get them deep, maybe even the Superbowl and cost them about 10 spots on that Packers first round pick that the Cowboys got in the Parsons trade. That would be about the most Cowboys thing to happen.
  14. I was down by 30 going into tonight in my fantasy league championship game. Opponent had Stafford starting. I figured he was good for about 20. Figured I was about cooked. I had an IDP defensive player, Pitts and Bijan. Pitts was almost invisible. Defensive guy about 5 points. Bijan singlehandedly saved my ass and won it for me, with 8 points breathing room. I was so happy it didn't to go OT. Championship...
  15. I don't like to root for the fecals, but I've been sick of hearing about what a golden god Josh Allen is.

    A good water feature with dripping or falling water in very shallow spots to bathe in are probably the best thing to draw all kinds of birds. Especially since you live in a setting where there there should be plenty of natural food for them. Two or three feeders with various types of feed are good. Squirrels are always a problem. They tend to not bother white safflower seeds too much, so that's a good one to use in open feeders without anti-squirrel features. I like tube type feeders surrounded with a cage for more popular seeds for small birds, or the type with small metal feed receptacles. Squirrels will still get to it, but they can't hog it all up that way.
  17. It's a catch 22, like other positions, because they struck silver with Williams at RB, and they my lose him because of the contracts they are going to have to pay. Davis will be a restricted free agent, so the Cowboys still can have him cheaper. But is he really that guy? Maybe, maybe not. And they have Blue, who has been a disappointment, and Mafah, who hasn't seen a down yet. They don't really have the draft capital to spend a mid round pick on another RB with starting potential, so it will be a very risky position.
  18. Malik may be the number one next year, fairly cheap, if the bidding on Javonte is too steep. https://cowboyswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/cowboys/2025/12/26/cowboys-rb-malik-davis-week-17-postgame-quotes-career-day-eye-injury/87921402007/ "He didn't know it," Prescott said Thursday after the game, "but I checked the stats late in the game, saw he had 90 yards, and I told him, 'Go get 10 more and finish this game. You can get that 100.' I actually don't normally check that. I just looked up and saw we had almost 200 yards rushing, and I said, 'Dang, Malik must be close.' And I wanted to get that for him." The yardage came at a cost, however. Davis would get poked in the eye shortly thereafter.
  19. Right, it's all about Jerry and his legacy. And he has shit on his own legacy by not giving up more control over football operations to someone who is qualified. He's just too much a narcissist to let it go.
  20. This is fact. Jerry wants to win more than anybody, and very few people get that. He is just a shitty GM and a shitty leader with no foresight, and refuses to realize his mistakes and adjust, just like every Cowboys head coach if the 21st century. He loves money, too, because it feeds his ego. But the biggest thing that ever fed his ego was claiming responsibly for Cowboys Superbowls. But he can't get himself out of the way to understand how to get that done.
  21. Brosmer dominates the Lions with his 51 yards passing and being sacked only 7 times.
  22. Minnesota beating Detroit was good, they are right past Dallas in the draft order as it sits. Need to root for Tampa and Baltimore. Baltimore beating Green Bay would help the cause for both first round picks.
