Rocky Landing Posted August 28, 2020 Posted August 28, 2020 Bills at 26th, eh? They also have the Dolphins at 23, and the Raiders at 12. And, the Panthers at 22-- I guess we poached the wrong players? 1

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. 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.

Plus he is weird with his kids? 1

Singletary fumbling problem, a team write 'gone rogue' and Josh Norman not looking good. I know the author say they are based on how teams look in camp...but they also say they take into consideration how good the team is overall. And how can you rank a team based on a couple weeks of training camp performance when very little actual footage/info is coming out of camps this year and no games are being played? Hope this isn't a repost, I took a quick scan of current topics and didn't see it anywhere. Who cares. That's ridiculous.

I can get the gist of these links from posts here, then refuse to give clicks to pure garbage. It’s nonsense and either completely ignorant, or intentionally provocative. I have no use for either. .
NewEra Posted August 28, 2020 Posted August 28, 2020 looks like it time fillout an application @cbs sports for journalist. worst list ever. not sure how this guy can even pretend to know anything about football
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.
without a drought Posted August 29, 2020 Posted August 29, 2020 Serious replies to a joke are always fun. It's even better when you argue points that were never said in the article, probably because you never read it.

Good point. Camp reports aren’t nearly as detailed this year and yet this guy managed to come up with this nonsense.

Yeah, and we have a couple backs now who can catch it and make some guys miss. Also, let's run some screen passes to them and Diggs. We seem to have an aversion to screens.
