2012 NFL Season Thread

Troy Aikman said the following regarding the Cowboys, their homefield and their fans:

“I think for a large part – and the fans don’t want to hear this – a lot of the people that attend sports in this town, they’re there because it’s kind of just a place to be seen. I've always said Dallas isn't so much a sports town as it is a winner’s town, and that’s not that unique. Most towns are like that. There are very few towns like Chicago where you can go out there and go 4-12 and they’re stilling selling out stadiums. That’s pretty unique.”

“I don’t think Dallas has ever really had a great home field advantage. What I’ve heard is that, ‘Wow, they really lost home field advantage when they left Texas Stadium.’ Texas Stadium really wasn't that different. Having played playoff games in Texas Stadium, that stadium was rocking, it was great...But when we would play in Philadelphia, New York and walk out of the tunnel, I would have to be yelling at the top of my lungs for guys to hear me. And you get on the plane for the flight home and your head would be pounding, you wouldn't have a voice, and that’s just the way that it was. There was no way you could go down there near the goal line and use hard count in an opposing stadium and yet in Texas Stadium, teams did it all the time.”

It wasn't today, but mark my words Greg Zuerlein is going to break the 63 yard mark at some point in his career.

That was a damn good Cowboys-Ravens game. The Ravens are a very, very good football team, but damn! The Cowboys were so close.

Even though we lost, I'm encouraged by what I saw from the Cowboys. If Dan Bailey's field-goal had just gone a little more to the right, the Cowboys would have beaten the Ravens. Ahhh, oh well. It was a good, exciting game.

Can't wait for Carolina next week!

Having something other than garbage clock management would have also helped. That had to have been the worst 30ish seconds towards the end of a game that I have seen in a while. One timeout left, around the 35, 36 yard line, call a play to pick up one or two yards, which is absurd enough in that situation, but not only try to pick up two yards, not even use the sideline. Then stand around and let the clock wind all the way down to where the only play left is to kick a 51 yard field goal.

Very true, the Cowboys shot themselves in the foot on that last drive. However, the game was still decided on a field-goal. Bailey barely missed it.

Tampa crushes Kansas City. Sure the Chiefs are the equivalent of a Division III high school team at this point, but I'll take it!

This has to be a joke. How the hell did the Cleveland Browns put up 27 on the Giants? Smith is playing like its 2005 all over again.

And the only other team to beat the Niners, the Vikings, are being taken to school by the Redskins, 31-12.

Woohoo! 6-0 baby! Matt Bryant is amazing. He could've hit that field goal from 60.

But it took a last second FG to beat the Raiders (!) at home? The Falcons have some mojo going but I see reality intruding on this Cinderella story in a few weeks. I hope anyway. :D

Could the Niners be any more unpredictable? Or are the Giants really this good?
