Three hours from now? Dude just said "llllooooook out" because they're up 17-0 on a horridly injured, bad football team.

Cris "I dislike hyperbole" Collinsworth compared Prescott with Staubach. The guy can break down a play quite well, and I thank him for helping rip the league in the Cards game in Week 1, but this is getting to be too much, even more than usual. This comes from someone, who by pure analysis, thinks he's one of the better ones in the league (like Gannon a touch more, though he wasn't shining himself in glory today in Indy). The Bears are a bad, hobbled team.

What's hyperbolic about comparing a QB with zero career touchdowns to a hall of famer? They both play for Dallas and both their last names have two syllables.

So does Aikman! He's the third coming. Not to mention, three is a sign of the Illuminati, since the Bilderberg Group has 39 members who are broken into *3* groups of 13 members each.

Is anyone else as excited as I am to see what a master tactician like John Fox dials up for the first offensive possession of the second half?

I like it. "Guys, let's run those plays where if we break three tackles we'll be short of the first down by a couple of yards."

If the Cowboys choke this away it will be glorious
Edit Chicago refuses to be given a way back into the game.

Games like this frustrate me so much. Should be over but they'll fuck around and make it a one score game in the fourth

I can't tell what is Fox and what is an acknowledgement that Hoyer couldn't hit a barn if it was more than 8 yards away.
Yeah, but still they are down two scores and their defense isn't going to pitch a shutout for another 20 minutes. Give Jeffrey a chance to make a vertical play on a jump ball or something. If it's a pick, it's really no worse than throwing 10 yards short of the sticks.

Have these guys never been to a track meet? Why are they so amazed at how quickly he won all the events?

The Bears probably were never going to win, but there actually was a point in which this game could have been competitive. Fox is just terrible. He's the guy you want if your goal is to not lose too bad. That's probably why he keeps getting hired. He never risks the big mistake to try to win.

Hoyer with an impressive display there: Evades the sack, essentially trips himself for a self-sack, which Grammarly awesomely had a suggestion to change to self-suck. He then fumbles the ball, possession changed, essentially ending the game. Jesus that is unaware. Can you imagine if the Brady suspension would have happened when Hoyer was our backup?
 
So now I've learned that whereas college teams from or near Texas have their last names shortened with a "y", (Aggy, Froggy, Piggy, Pony, Rapey, etc.), NFL teams do the same with their first names (Minny, Washy, Balty, Jacky, etc.). I'm looking forward to watching N'awrly host Clement Atlee tonight.

Anyone betting tonight? I placed my smallest wager of the year on NO, but feel pretty meh about it.
