NFL Week 14: Threads are made on Wednesday nights, got it?

And both of those games New Orleans was on the road. The saints in the superdome are a completely different beast. Home field advantage is huge for them.

That too.

And homefield for Dallas is like the opposite. Hell, even most of the Washington fans were probably cheering for the Saints so that they could have a reason to Assassinate Dan Snyder. And yet again, I'm saying its their best chance to win, not that they are going to.

Gee let me think here...

Home field advantage that will be full of drunken folk that have been boozing all day long for the only football game that will be on Saturday night, combined with the fact that no matter what, teams still love to beat the shit out of the Cowboys, and oh yeah Newman is going to be trying to stop a high-octane passing game.

I never got why in the fuck you think this game is winnable. The Cowboys will do good to not lose by 2 scores or less.

San Diego at Dallas - Ok I'm going to say this right now just so we can get the so-called "homer"/"knee jerk" bullshit claims on me out of the way. My theory for December was that Dallas had a chance to beat NYG if they didn't fuck it up again and hand away points (and they did). Beyond that, I felt that game would determine the rest of the season. This was a toss up game that I felt Dallas would lose if they lost to NYG and they would win if they beat NYG. They didn't, it's skid time.

As far as the rest of the season goes, regardless how anything shakes out, these will be my picks for the rest of the season for them: NO - L, @WASH - W, PHI - W, leaving the 'Boys 10-6 and possibly hanging on to a wild card spot.

Stikerdamus bitches. Saints destroy us, Washington falls on their face and then we beat Philly again because now we aren't playing in December.

Sticking to it.

[Kyreth]

If he stopped at "we should just crown them now" that would have been enough. The rest is poster material for the Saints. Makes no sense. The Saints already feel they don't get any respect, this will just get them more geeked up.

I honestly will applaud if NO tears the head off Dallas and takes turns shitting down the neck stump, followed by the Deadskins defiling the corpse afterwards.

Speaking of the Deadskins, now that they're incapable of making the playoffs, their game should improve greatly. It's like they're the anti-Decemberitis to the Dallas Disease.

I'm basing that fact only over the past couple of weeks. Philly has been playing far far far better than the saints have. I mean, they beat 2 VERY mediocre teams by 3 points ea. We lost to the Giants, Philly beat the Giants, Philly>Us. After Washington played us, they seemed to have come alive, hanging in there with what many consider the #1 team in the NFL, then abso-fucking-lutely trampling the Raiders. That, on top of the fact that they always bring their A-game for the 'boys=a potential loss to me. And... I'll say it ANOTHER time. I didn't say they'd win, though I doubt they will get trampled *that* bad. I said it would be the most winnable game. Philly has been playing out of their minds, washington too, while the Saints are just squeaaaaaking by against mediocre teams.

As much fun as we make of the 'boys, they're far better than the redskins, Saints will bring their A-game and win via landslide imo.

[Chun Liroy]

When we met, we won 7-6. They missed 2 FGs. They fired Shuisam. They should have won. Their pass defense is #1 in the league iirc. Dallas is playing mediocrely, Washington is playing like a playoff team. This adds up to a loss to me.

Ok, just because they fucked up against other mediocre teams doesn't mean they won't rape us.

Look, let me break it down being a fan of Notre Dame football as well. It doesn't matter just how much we suck, we are still Notre Dame and people want to beat the shit out of us for one reason or another. Same shit goes for the Yankees in baseball, Red Wings in hockey, and the Lakers in basketball.

Bottom line: New Orleans won't go to sleep on us. It might look meaningless on paper, but I guarantee they will try to stomp us. They might bench their studs after said stomping late in the game, but it'll still happen.

As far as the 'Skins go, they fucking suck more often than not. They beat themselves more often than not. They did it against Dallas, they did it against New Orleans, and they finally put a game together against the lolRaiders. Not impressed at all and I still think they got a lot of fuck up left in them.

Also, transitive property doesn't work for football. Ever.

Neither Nick Folk or rookie David Buehler did anything to make the Cowboys feel better about their field goal situation on Tuesday afternoon, both struggling during practice.

Folk missed two of his four attempts, sending one wide left and the other wide right. Buehler, who the team is testing this week to see if he is a better option than the slumping Folk, missed all three of his attempts to the right.

Tony Romo continued to work as the unit's holder.

Folk has missed a field goal in five consecutive games, prompting the Cowboys to explore other options ahead of Saturday's matchup in New Orleans.

The Cowboys decided not to work out any free agent kickers on Monday. Wade Phillips said last week he had confidence in Folk partly because he had been making his tries during practice.

On Tuesday, anyway, that wasn't the case. Phillips is expected to address the kicking situation again at his 4:15 p.m. (CST) press conference on DallasCowboys.com.

BEST COACHES EVER. Hey gaiz, both of our kickers can't kick, lets not bring in anyone to try out. GG.

[Chun Liroy]

Also, transitive property doesn't work for football. Ever.

I know, felt like putting that in there though, and with good cause. By saying it doesn't work means that anyone can beat anyone any given sunday (saturday). We'll just have to wait and see what happens, I still don't think it will be a blow out IF we bring our A-game (coaches included).

[Chun Liroy]

I see miz, inb4 Miz coming in here and shitting all over our faces.

[Valisk]

You know they won their last 2 games by a combined 6 points, and that they played a backup lead atlanta falcons and... Washington.

Which means they are due. I'd honestly be surprised if NO didn't hang 42+ on the 'Boys. I think Drew Brees will play our of his mind on Saturday and have the best game of his career. (81% completion, 6 Touchdowns, 422 yards, 158.3 passer rating)

Might be our best best. Knowing Wade, he'll sign Martin Gramatica.

Oh god, that would be fucking hilarious. All we need now is another fumbled FG to win lose the game.

This, pretty much what he did to New England, and the Giants(when they were "good" at the beginning of the season.)

Dear Tyche:

[Conrad]

(P.S. Skirkle, Philly isn't getting #2 seed)

Yeah I know, that's why I said 3 spot earlier, I'm being realistic. Third seed is a nice place to be right now imo, right now that path is Giants/Cowboys > Vikings > Saints/Packers/Cards, and the first two rounds look like they're against entirely beatable teams if they play like they have been recently. I'm scared of the Packers, about 50/50 on the current Saints, and I'm worried about another Zona resurgence in the playoffs. Would much rather play the Favres in the divisional round than the Saints at this point.

Plus, people keep bringing up the whole bye thing. Last year three of the bye teams lost in the divisional round, though the one that didn't won the Super Bowl. I don't know about the NFC, but in the AFC the top two seeds have a 3-5 record in the last four playoffs in the first game after the bye. Call it motivation or whatever, but I'm okay if Philly has to play three rounds in the playoffs.

I can't wait for the Eagles to be the NFC Champion runner-ups.

[Valisk]

Why is everyone scared of the Green Bay Jennings? I think you guys are giving them way too much credit. 2 wins over the Cutler Bears, Rams, x2 Lions, Browns, Romoboys, 49ers, and Ravens. Gave the Bucs their only win of the season. How is this impressive? 3rd easiest strength of schedule. They'll be one and done in the playoffs.
