Everyone laughed at Dallas because if Jerry Jones wouldnt have been put in straight jacket he would have drafted Johnny Football.


They ultimately made the correct pick which is all that matters. I'm the biggest Cowboys hater there is, but I have to give props where it is due. Their lines are devastating and they've ridden them to the best record in the NFC.

It is a bad year to judge him. He doesn't have a lot of help from the rest of the team. He is having a down year, but so it the entire team. He is still doing enough to win.

Better run for 8-9 yards and punt forcing DET to go the length of the field than repeatedly pass over the middle into double coverage when you are trying to milk the clock

Dudes been the best 5 years running, the play calling this year is just atrocious and drew looks scared throwing the ball down field plenty of times


While still being pretty good, Brees has obviously been in decline these past couple of years. Brees in decline is still pretty great, but he's not who he was 4 years ago. I don't think it's all the playcalling. It's the playcalling. It's Graham's injury. It's the o-line. It's Colston not being the Colston of old. And yeah, it's Brees.

Payton needs to do something to retool the offense to preserve Brees' longevity. Brees can't carry the team anymore.

It's the o-Line specifically. They can't really run either.

Get better blockers and Brees will "suddenly" be elite again

Especially considering the Lions' D and how terrible their offense was.

It would be nice if he could see over the offensive line
