Cowboys / Bucs - Wildcard Monday....

@soup-can

can you elaborate?

I don't know but would like to

I thought that was brilliant.

you said Reagan, and 40th president.  You tried to connect and normally it is a non-issue.  I grew up in 80s and have no problem with Ronny or Nancy

He is saying the league will engineer an outcome to engender social justice warm and fuzzies.

The only thing Im not sure of is if he feels they are going to let the black QB get the win or the black coach.

Dallas wins by 1. The black QB wins and the black coach covers. There...

@jpot34

also to every other political clown in an NFL forum:

see this got political before I even chimed in.  the original comment went towards Reagan and the best team "will win"  Something tells me this potential DRAMA  is political.

Figure it out and stay out if you want to stir it up

Sorry to call you out JPOT34 but you THumb me down

Van, sorry if in the past that a called you vansmack or whatever synonym it was.  But I kept it non political. 

there is:

hang back

backpack

callback

drawback

fanny pack

fastback

flipjack

Hangs back 

hardback

jam-pack

knapsack

its more the kid side of things. 

a lot of people put the offensive struggles on brady but when you look at the coaching it really has put them at a disadvantage. they are way to predictable and run too much on first down and dallas is one of the best d's at stopping the run on first down which then leaves brady in 2nd and 3rd and long which is a big advantage for dallas. so if the bucs make an adjustment like they did the year they won the superbowl and start throwing and using play action more one early downs....bucs will move the ball. if not, they will struggle and like you say go down early. which might not be the worst thing since the bucs are much more efficient running no huddle and why half their wins this year are come from behind 4th quarter wins. 

a case can be made that dallas defense is also trending downwards and it becomes even more alarming once you realize the qb's they have faced the last 6 weeks are sam howell, josh dobbs, minshew, lawrence, davis mills and matt ryan. it was a 2 point game vs indy in the 4th quarter, they needed a last second td to beat houston, gave up 30+ to minshew and allowed sam howell to outgain them.

on the flip side , looking at those last 6 games....neither of those teams aside for philly have defenses that are better than the bucs (who are getting healthier). washington was without 5 starters, titans rested starters, jags have been trending downwards on defense for weeks, houston is bottom third. bucs also play a bunch of man coverage which dak is worse against as compared to zone. and this is the first time in a while that the bucs secondary will be healthy. with that said CD Lamb should have a solid game and dallas will get their center back to which is a huge boost while the bucs might be down to their 3rd center if hainsey is limited.

i was aligned with you on every pick this week (got lucky with early payout on chargers ml) except for this and since you are putting 4 units on the boys i might just wait for a live betting opportunity. good luck

@howan168

 Dallas will choke next week against the Niners, not this one 

dallas will cover against niners 

Very nice. Sh!t man, this may have converted me to Cowboys. What do/did you sell for a living?

@wiggins

 Jensen back at center for the GOAT.

He's doing the typical and often used race card. I think he's implying about Jerry Jones. SMH GTFOH 

@2goodhahaha

 Go back and hide in your woke safe space!  

Nice job this weekend Van.  Good luck tonight.  

And this also takes the McCarthy angle into account.

Cowboys are 0-8 SU in away playoff game since 1992 when they won @ SF and since 1980 3-13 AU away in the playoffs.

That doesnt mean they dont win tonight.

Any playoff home dog that has won less than 9 games is 5-0 depending on the lines. it would be 4-0-1 ATS

I dont like this game but lean to fade the cowboys

@vanzack

 Good luck van 

I would like to take this time to admit something... i have absolutely no idea what this game is gonna be like, dallas by 38, bucs by 7, im just not sure. So, ill just root for you and hit a td parlay or something...... unless you can guarantee 100% your play wins than I'll just tail you. So can i put the savings/investments on it? Let me know soon please, i dont want your procrastination affecting what line i get..... 

is this satire?

@BIGDTITLE

 The fact that you really had to ask is kinda sad, it shows a post of that nature is 100% possible on here. Kinda sad if you think about it haha

@soup-can

 2 time pro bowl CB Trevon Diggs has entered the chat

Storyline wise, it makes sense for Brady to win this game lose a very exciting game against the 49ers, or even pull off a huge upset... Purdy beat Brady in his first NFL game he played.. That's the storyline they will go with.. NFL must want this matchup way more than the Cowboys 49ers
