J.J. Watt's 5th TD this season. I believe it's a record or tied a record from like sometime in the 90s

Sounds like they're trying to pad his stats for defensive player of the yr lol

Try 1944 lol. Been a longgggggggg time.

Actually he's a REAL redzone threat. 3 endzone targets, 3 TDs. It's hard to cover a guy that big with that long of arms. He can snag a ball anywhere.

Out of curiosity, any Dolphins fans here?

Nope, he's actually a viable receiver for endzone plays. Think of him as a TE, just bigger. Incredibly hard to cover.

Also, Colt McCoy played incredibly well (I'm a Longhorns fan)

Colt did play really well actually. The defense is just rather pathetic.

Exactly. The Redskins are a horrible team, who can't play the pass to save their lives, and are almost as bad with the rush (or is it flipped? don't remember I don't really follow the redskins after RGIII's monumental flop). While they got killed on paper, it had nothing to do with McCoy, that's mainly because there is no way the awful Redskins defense could keep up with the highest scoring team in the league (did you see how many wide open receivers caught a 20+ yard TD?). McCoy nearly broke 400 yards, threw for 3 TD's, and over 30 completions, with no interceptions. He showed great pocket awareness, and made no mistakes you associate with QB's getting their second start of the season (He had one fumble returned for a TD on 4th and 1, but he was completely blindsinded, no way he could have seen the unblocked man coming). He also had that one play where he avoided a shit ton of blitzers. I look forward to seeing what he can do in the future. In the case of RGIII, I hope the Redskins will trade him to anybody else, he still has potential, but I feel like the attitude and current level of the Redskins is weighing on him mentally, and it shows in his awful play as of late.

I don't know if Colt is the QB of the future for the Redskins though.

Yeah, he's not a good fit for the Redskins, but there could be a great link between him and Jackson, as long as he stops underthrowing the long passes. Its good to see he has some fire, I'm hoping to see a lot more from him.

To me honestly he is just another Kirk cousins or a Matt Flynn has a good game here and there. He hasn't shown consistency at all and that includes when he was with Cleveland granted Cleveland didn't have much to work with.

He's making great plays with a subpar receiving team, Cleveland and Washington. He has always been consistent.

Atlanta is first place in their division with a losing record. I love the NFC south

Now they have to go to Lambeau though lol. With that pass d..yikes. Hope Ryan's on his game or that'll be a shellacking.

Awkward moment when there was a game between Carolina and Atlanta to decide who would be first place in the NFC South, and no matter which team won both would come out with losing records.

Brandon Marshall's injury looks pretty serious, looks like he's out for season

Shame, he had a pretty cool catch tonight too

Crushing blow for an offense that was already struggling to find its rhythm

This is their biggest problem imo though

Called it, Cowboys needed a gimme to get their spirits up.

 

[I Bleed Duke Blue]

Cowboys better throw the damn ball in the rematch with the Eagles or I might need to be put in a mental hospital for a few weeks.
