Thought this was a really cool gesture and a good way to start the first NFL game thread

[Harrydawg]

Let?s go! I feel as if I have a grandson playing?..can?t imagine wanting bad things for DAK!

[Maroonthirteen]

Last time I was in that stadium...... January 2019. Hahahaha.

[BeardoMSU]

He's about to drag nuts...

[RocketDawg]

It must be hot in Tampa. They're all sweating like horses and that's just from warmups.

Let's hope Dak has made a full recovery.

[RocketDawg]

Dak looking like Dak so far.

[vv83]

I know y'all are mad about that intro

[R2Dawg]

RuRo Dak is from Haughton High.

Lots of players did that tonight for some reason.

[BeardoMSU]

I know y'all are mad about that intro

Lol

[maroonmania]

Now Dak won't even say he is from Mississippi State. Oh well.

[R2Dawg]

Cede Lamb two drops stop that drive.

[Homedawg]

Cede Lamb two drops stop that drive.

One drop. The first one was underthrown.

[Maroonthirteen]

One drop. The first one was underthrown.

Interesting two passes to Lamb are way off. Im wondering how accurate and consistently he is running his routes.

[R2Dawg]

One drop. The first one was underthrown.

Yes underthrown but these are pros. It hit him in the hands, he has to catch that. You are a pro WR, anything in the hands catch it.

[Commercecomet24]

RuRo Dak is from Haughton High.

Yeah one guy even used a youth all star team he played on.

[BeardoMSU]

Now Dak won't even say he is from Mississippi State. Oh well.

He must've read the Forbes article.**

[RocketDawg]

Didn't take Brady long to march down the field. He's 44 and playing against a defense half his age.

[BeardoMSU]

Dak looks ****ing great. 7 all.

[RocketDawg]

Dak didn't waste any time answering. Cowboys' offense looks really good.

[Quaoarsking]

You-heard-it-here-first hot take:

Dak Prescott sets the single season NFL record for passing yards this season.

[Commercecomet24]

Hoping for a shootout

[BeardoMSU]

You-heard-it-here-first hot take:

CBPOTY and MVP.

[Cowbell]

Great game do far

[NCDawg]

Now Dak won't even say he is from Mississippi State. Oh well.

Doesn't matter to me. I've just about lost interest in pro football anyway.

[BeardoMSU]

Doesn't matter to me. I've just about lost interest in pro football anyway.

Jesus Christ, lol. Way to virtue signal your NFL snowflake-ness.

[RocketDawg]

Still sounds weird to me having Dak throwing to Amari Cooper.

Dallas kicker is terrible. Missed a FG by a mile, and now can't even make a PAT.

[Cowbell]

Ceedee must be running bad routes cause Dak is on fire to everyone else.

[BeardoMSU]

D needs a new kicker, sharpish.

[RocketDawg]

Great game do far


Yeah it is. They picked a good season opener.

[RocketDawg]

Wow - two turnovers in a row. And short field left.

[ScoobaDawg]

D needs a new kicker, sharpish.

Yeaaa he's gone monday. geez

INT!!!! hell yea

[ScoobaDawg]

FG is good. Cowboys with the lead!

[State82]

WTF????

[parabrave]

Elliott is just a below average RB.

[BeardoMSU]

Elliott is just a below average RB.

A well paid "below average RB", tho.

[parabrave]

A well paid "below average RB", tho.

Yep. But of course every Strip joint in the DFW area is happy he is overpaid.

[BeardoMSU]

Cee Dee having a great game**

[Hambone]

Didn’t realize he was the 4th worst WR in the NFL due to drops last year.

I just knew he was going to be a stud in Dallas. He’s dropping very catchable passes.

[parabrave]

Well Dak just covered his TD bet and got the over. Thanks Dak And Brady got his 4 also

[BeardoMSU]

Dak with the dime to Coop. 2 point game.

Helluva first game of the season!

[Hambone]

Damn Dak is special……

[Quaoarsking]

You-heard-it-here-first hot take:

Dak Prescott sets the single season NFL record for passing yards this season.

He needs 323 yards/game to do it. He just passed that mark tonight.

For reference, he average 371 over the 5 games he played last year.

[MoreCowbell]

Dak looks great tonight. What a good game

[Catfish]

Dak looks great tonight. What a good game

Dallas OC has called a good game.

[BeardoMSU]

Dallas OC has called a good game.

He has.

[maroonmania]

Game basically decided because the Dallas OL gets multiple holding calls on the last drive and Tampa doesn't get the OPI call on them which would have been called if it wasn't a Brady team.

[State82]

That is such 17ing bullshit to have a defense that 17ing horrible on a 17ing NFL team. 17ing bullshit.

[BeardoMSU]

If that WR push-off was from a Dallas player, the flag would've been thrown. Period.

[Cowbell]

If that WR push-off was from a Dallas player, the flag would've been thrown. Period.

Yeah that was the difference

[State82]

One 17ing week in and I am 17ing sick of football already. To hell with it. I need a 17ing boat. Bad.

[Bdawg]

If that WR push-off was from a Dallas player, the flag would've been thrown. Period.

Sad that it's the truth. Such BS. And in crunch time when it mattered most the Dallas OL(like always) folded with 2 holding calls to stop the chances of a TD. Heck of a job to overcome the first one but 2 proved to be to much.

[Commercecomet24]

Naw Dallas lost because an nfl kicker can't make an extra point and a chip shot fg. Also Dallas has zero run game, zeke looks old and slow. Dak carried this team tonight. I still believe Dallas won't want anything big as long as Jerry running the show.

[Bdawg]

Agree. Jerry screwed up giving zeke all that money. Should have bought a CB with it.

[Commercecomet24]

Agree. Jerry screwed up giving zeke all that money. Should have bought a CB with it.

Yep no doubt.

[BrunswickDawg]

Is it a wonder why they Cowboys lost? You can't win when your QB only averages 6.9 yards an attempt. That dink and dunk offense will never work.***

the guy was pulling everything to the left ... I've had days like that on the golf course but when I tried to fix it .... well there's this thing called "over-compensation" and it's not pretty. The guy has had a pretty good career but not a good night and yes, he cost the Cowboys the game

You've got to be kidding.

He's recovering from back surgery this summer

[Thick]

You've got to be kidding.


He?s being sarcastic?..notice the asterisks at the end of Bruns? post.

[Dawg_Lover]

He was kidding .... you forgot about the sarcasm asterisks at the end of the statement.

Great catch, i noticed i too. Poor Dak!

Have some rep Bruns!

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to BrunswickDawg again.

Ha, I know exactly what you're talking about! I used to play a lot when I was younger and always had a natural slice but everytime I tried to play the slice, I hit the dang thing straight! There's a reason golf is a 4 letter word.

[Johnson85]

Agree. Jerry screwed up giving zeke all that money. Should have bought a CB with it.

Yea, he gave zeke that money when it was obvious to everybody not named Jerry or Zeke (I'm assuming Zeke's agent was smart enough to know Zeke was about to be overpaid) that it wasn't a good idea. Aside from the fact that you don't want that much money invested in a disposable position like RB, what would have given anybody the idea that Zeke would respond well to having a shitload of money at his disposal? Things have probably turned out a good bit better than expected so far.

[Johnson85]

Golf got a lot better for me when I stopped trying to play a slice and instead aimed right. It's worked for a few people I play with too. All mental, but when you play the slice, it seems a lot of people either (a) slice it more as they don't trust where they are aiming or (b) hit it straight, I guess maybe because they are more relaxed or possibly they mistakenly try to "push" the ball right and that just ends up correcting for their outside in swing path rather than actually pushing it. Aiming right apparently has the opposite effect, and I was able to end up gradually moving back to a straight up alignment as I started missing right.

I'm not a good golfer and people that it has worked for are not good golfers, but it seems like for hackers, it's a decent trick. I will say that when I started hooking the ball, aiming left didn't work and I had to actually get somebody that knew what they were doing to tell me what to do to stop it.

Yea, Zeke looked great back when Dallas had an elite OL. But then again, most backs look good running behind an elite OL.

Ahh completely overlooked it!

[OLJWales]

Stay behind the ball; stay on plane thru downstroke; don't come over the top; almost like you're"trying" to slice.

[NCDawg]

Zeke probably has lost a step, but you've got to give credit to the Tampa Bay defensive front also. They're pretty good.

[LC Dawg]

That's what she said.

[BigEasyDawg]

Dak is a top 5 QB in the league. No question about it.

[BrunswickDawg]

Ahh completely overlooked it!

I almost didn't put the ****, cause I thought it was too obvious. LOL

[Commercecomet24]

Very obvious lol
