Jerry Jabber Posted August 28, 2020 Posted August 28, 2020 There’s always some clown in the media that has the Cowboys as the offseason Superbowl champs.
PJBrown7 Posted August 28, 2020 Posted August 28, 2020 26th for a playoff team returning their core contributors, adding a stud WR, returning a top 5 defense that likely improved and is super well coached? CBS is the MSNBC of sports “journalism “....

Same with the long ball, give them a chance to make a play or get the PI call. The 10 yard overthrow won’t be an INT, but get it close and it just might work out for us. Know down/distance and game situation. A pick on a long ball might be almost as good as a punt. I have high hopes for him this year. Expand I agree with this...but not sure who remembers the movie "Signs" with Mel Gibson. Joaquin Phoenix's character gets ribbed a little by a person in town for striking out a lot on the local baseball team and Joaquin replies "it didnt feel right not swinging". I get that sense from Josh...he seems like someone who will always go for it rather than take the low hanging fruit.
ALF Posted August 28, 2020 Posted August 28, 2020 Being the underdog is a good way start the season , good motivation.

Buffalo Junction Posted August 29, 2020 Posted August 29, 2020 I didn’t use the link.... but I did email cbssports about one of their writers struggle with an addiction to crack.
