Not a dez Bryant fan but that was a Gronkesque stiff arm

Dollar · Dec 4, 2014

Holy shit, punting from the 35 on 4th and 4?

mauf · Dec 4, 2014

Nice punt, but Romo can't take that sack on third down.

GeorgeCostanza · Dec 4, 2014

Is it crazy windy there tonight?

DanoooME · Dec 4, 2014

The pressure didn't even really get there. That's just a bad third down throw by Romo.

December Romo

Greg29fan · Dec 4, 2014

thanks for not calling a penalty there

guess he got a finger on it

Freddy Linn · Dec 4, 2014

Murray is going to pass 300 rushes and 350 total touches tonight.

koufax32 · Dec 4, 2014

How many fantasy teams will flop next year when Murray is picked at #1 or #2 and then falls apart due to his workload this year?

DanoooME · Dec 4, 2014

I'd have gone with the over betting tonight. And I'd be getting killed. Where's the offenses? The defenses aren't really any good (especially Chicago's).

that might be just in this game

Dez with some nice gator arms there.

Seriously. 14 rushes and 3 receptions already.

DanoooME · Dec 4, 2014

Holy shit, what a catch!

staz · Dec 4, 2014

Knee to the back. Oof.

Bosoxen · Dec 4, 2014

I'm so sick of the narrative about Martellus Bennett wanting revenge against the Cowboys. That fucking jackass did everything he could from day one to get out of Dallas. Fuck him and the media that kisses his ass.

Greg29fan · Dec 4, 2014

Jay Cutler absolutely owns the Cowboys

Just go back and watch Hard Knocks for all you need to know about that clown.

tims4wins · Dec 4, 2014

If Dallas makes the playoffs Murray is gonna be dead by then

I know all about that dipshit. I got to watch the whole train wreck up close and personal. The "Marty B Show" got a lot of play locally.

Greg29fan · Dec 4, 2014

That was an excellent drive. Ate clock and got the TD.

Greg29fan · Dec 4, 2014

Give Romo a normal week and he's fine. Short week killed him on Thanksgiving.

Bosoxen · Dec 4, 2014

Sure seems that way. Curious what it'll look like with a long week to prepare for round 2 against Philly.

dcmissle · Dec 4, 2014

Cutler will get killed again. But Forte put the ball on the ground, Marshall is out, and the Bears defense sucks

dcmissle · Dec 4, 2014

"Tony Romo doesn't know who to throw it to -- because they are both wide open."

Well put.

Greg29fan · Dec 4, 2014

Terrance Williams the last five weeks

2-19
0-0
bye
1-18
2-38
0-0 (through almost three quarters)

That's gotta change, even if guys like Beasley and Escobar have stepped up.

ypioca · Dec 4, 2014

What's the % of illegal blocks in the back on return plays this season? It seems like every other play, there's a dumb fuck who hasn't figured this out yet.

dcmissle · Dec 4, 2014

Things maybe looking up for the Bears as Conte is questionable to return with back injury

Guarantee you at least 75% of the times this is called was on plays where the returner reversed field. Not much you can do when you have a block sized up, but your target suddenly turns to run in the opposite direction at the last second. As frustrating as they are, you have to remember that these guys are running full speed and making split second decisions while doing so.

shawnrbu · Dec 4, 2014

Is there a chance Rex Ryan is coaching the Bears next season?

Freddy Linn · Dec 4, 2014

Why not put Randle or whomever in for a few?

I think it'll be the Dunbar show the rest of the way if they put up another 7 here.

That run helps.

soxhop411 · Dec 4, 2014

Chi is a dumpster fire

soxhop411 · Dec 4, 2014

They need a regime change

Bosoxen · Dec 4, 2014

Randle sighting!

Trestman as OC and Ryan as DC would actually make a superb tandem.

Greg29fan · Dec 4, 2014

Free cologne and underwear for everybody!

Don't bother. According to Simms, Murray has "learned how to not get worn out".

I guess other people's muscles and bones are too stupid or something.

Cellar-Door · Dec 4, 2014

I really don't get the Bears' offensive playcalling at all. They take an amazing athletic outside WR in Jefferey and have him run 75% of his routes 5 yards from the LOS.

Greg29fan · Dec 4, 2014

Within the season itself backs getting big carries/touches tend to be fine the entire season (as long as they stay healthy)...it's the subsequent seasons that are the issues. And he certainly might be playing for somebody else next season.

singaporesoxfan · Dec 4, 2014

Vikings family dog probably has decided to become a Cowboys fan and call himself DeMarco by now.

dcmissle · Dec 4, 2014

These Thursday night games are deplorable, but the NFL just has to own the entire week. Give it a rest, and with a nod to player safety too, get rid of them.

You were sayin'?

Bears being Bears

SeoulSoxFan · Dec 4, 2014

Yup. Da Bears.

? Normally I'd agree with you, but both teams are playing on full rest this week.

dcmissle · Dec 4, 2014

There are far worse things than going 10 and 6 under never-could-get-it-done Lovie. It just takes a while to learn that sometimes.
