What do you think of how the offense has looked? The two defensive scores are overshadowing things a bit. Dak not playing super sharp with a few missed throws (TD to Lamb for instance). He looks like he is being much more decisive than he was last year though


It’s really difficult for me to evaluate. The giants had the ball a lot because of the defensive scores. Plus with the big lead it’s hard not to be a little conservative.
The weather also sucks.
I think Dak has been fine.

Worst half? Giants might have said “here hold my beer”.

That would be cool.
Thought it was strange that Turpin got a carry instead of him.

The offensive stats definitely don’t match the score

Having not watched the game I don’t even want to know what the hell happened

Looks like a mess

Dallas defense has been absolutely dominant. Dallas O has done fine, but this game is all about their defense just doing whatever they want

Yeah, Dak was 10-2 vs the Giants going onto this game. Not sure why anyone would have faith in them tonight.

My fantasy football team has the Cowboys Defense. Didn't really need much else this week. I won in a blowout

Agree. Out weakest link did not look sharp at all, but he didn't turn the ball over despite missing some throws. I gave dumb Dak a C+ this week.

Hope you did better with your other games bet. 0-2 taking the Chiefs and Giants. Need a loan? :wink: :lol:

Lots of interesting take aways!

Cincy always starts slow
Chargers + Vikings still find ways to lose close games
Tlaw + Ridley going to be a hell of a duo the next 2-3 years
Giants were a fluke last year, Daniel Jones contract is awful (who woulda guessed??)
Stafford always underrated, if Kupp gets healthy they are fighting for wild card
Seachickens invested into a terrible qb (who woulda guessed?)
NFC south finishing the day with an ugly 3-1 lol
Tua when healthy is that guy. Tyreek makes it look too easy

Love week 1!
