Well that was an exceptional win.

The Cowboys look vile though (which is good since i hate them). They have zero passion at all and I think the blame entirely lies with Jerry Jones. Trying to get a yes man NEVER works. The players know that the head coach is pretty much powerless so really won't care what Wade says. It showed when Jenkins was laughing on the sideline with a caption saying he'd been thrown at 8 times with 8 completions for 95 yards and 1 TD.


The Claymaker was sensational and it is scary how good he is with no practice time and carrying injuries. He took the o-line apart although he was a little fortunate to get the TD. He is going to take some catching in the race for DPOY. Rodgers also looked effortless in taking apart the Dallas secondary and avoiding Ware.

I think the comment on Adam Schefters twitter is pretty much spot on TBH

Its ok saying that Jerry Jones cant afford to sack Wade Phillips aswell, but if they dont start winning they will have to pay for the #1 overall pick in next years draft!

Hey what a match though. We proved we could raise our intensity and came a yard from beating the unbeatable Matt Ryan at the Georgia dome. I'm confident now that we will finish 10-6 and take the Wildcard. We have Carolina and the 49ers coming up in the next 2 weeks now and if we aren't 7-3 after those 2 games I'll be extremely disapointed.

BTW Raheems statement wasn't a slur on the other teams. It was to get us to believe it and it seems to have worked. We look like a half capable team now.

Was a good game and it made a nice change for our D to actually man up and make a stand when it needed to.

Be interesting to see how we cope with a potent Baltimore offence on Thursday off a short turnaround.

I know Morris was playing mind games with his own team, but when you make those kinds of statements you leave yourself open to looking very silly IMO.

You are 0-3 against teams with winning records though. Your remaining schedule isn't bad but i only see three wins- Carolina, 49ers and Seattle. Detroit and Washington are possible but i think they are currently better than you.

Raheem's statement could work one of two ways. A) your team will believe it and respond. B) Teams will think your arrogant when you have done nothing for a number of years and want to batter then self-appointed best team in the NFC.

Quite a few have Osi down as a favourite. Could be on for a Packers v Giants playoff game again?

Its already worked. We have raised our game in the last 3 weeks. I know we have had 2 close wins and a close loss but we are a much better team than we were at the start of year. Theres just a little bit of inconsistancy at the moment but you get that with a young team full of rookies and 2nd year players. Look, no one n Tampa is arrogent enough to thnk we will be competing this year but you need to instill the confidence now to get these pkayers to improve. In 2 or 3 years time with a few good additions to the O Line and D line I think we will have a pretty special team.

1 thing though... I really like Raheem and he is willing to try things like the unsuccessful onside kick yesterday with loads of time left (jeez, how close was that to coming off) but can they PLEASE keep the red flag away from him! I cant remember the last time we went into the last 2 minutes with a TO left.

I also think that we will pick off either ATL or NO in our last game against these 2. Its unusual for us to lose both games to both of them.
