Say what you will about the O line, but he's independently terrific. Good thing that run got called back. Also good thing that this kid plays RB and unless he's a total freak we will only have to worry about him for so long.
By the end of this year he's already going to have 1,000 carries between Ohio state and the cowboys. He already entered with a lot of mileage and at this rate is going to fly past 350 carries in his rookie year. That's a threshold that more often than not spells decline in the following season. We think of Marshawn Lynch as having been a work horse as much as anyone in the current era, his career high was 315. Adrian peterson crossed that 350 mark once, and the next season had his worst YPC of any of his non injury shortened seasons in his career. Elliot is a rookie though so I doubt he's suddenly going to fall off a cliff, but he's unlikely to be a major difference maker for all that long unless he is just a rare breed

Not to mention Roid rage beating up his girlfriend?
It sure how that's relevant to anything I posted? I never made the case he was a model citizen. The only time I've ever gotten combative with another poster on this site was over the Josh Brown issue toward an individual who I felt took the situation lightly. Domestic abusers are assholes, and Elliot is one too if guilty. Doesn't have anything to do with his performance though, plenty of assholes are major difference makers
Bradford stinks. I can't believe they gave the eagles a 1st round pick for this shlub. I just wanna watch dallas lose and the giants play them with 1st place on the line
even the fucking ball bounces perfect for dallas. the stars are aligning lol. I HATE THE COWBOYS, but right now they are looking solid. How did our guys give up points to the vikings they are awful offensively
are the most complete team I have seen in several years. They simply don't have any weaknesses.
I think they do. I would still worry about a rookie qb on the biggest of stages for one. Also, you can throw on them, they have no pass rush and their dbs aren't really playmakers. According to pro football reference, opposing QBs have 19 TD and only 4 INT this season against them, and their sack leader has 3.5.
They're good, but I don't think they're overly imposing as far as typical SB favorites to. Let's also see how this team deals with an L to stop this feel-good train rolling down hill they have going. They don't have a culture of excellence to fall back on with this current group, and adversity can play with a team.
Didn't they go 15-1 when Ben was a rookie, or am I off by a game? Both strong running games, Pitt had a better D. Somebody is going to go in their house and beat them in the playoffs. And it's probably going to be an undressing of Prescott in the process by a team who isn't going to be net over blindly by their running game and force it into his hands. He has been very good, but he's human and he's a rookie and winning a SB is not how this works unless he's setting a new precedent
Fall in love with Dallas... Other than a few runs early on I haven't seen anything to make me think we won't crush them next week, I'm more worried about playing Steelers and the Cowboys.
Same here. I'm more worried about this week because it's a road game against a team we rarely play. Dallas is good, but they're not as imposing as 07 to me
when they can't run at will. They don't look so frightening, and the Defense is not very good. They have the plan to win. Make Dallas 1 dimensional. They just can't muster any offense. If Minny was up by 10 - 14 points, i'd be curious to see dallas play from behind.
How we lost to this team. Our D line has made some tremendous strides throughout the season. If we played MIN now I don't see how they crack 10 points.
This team is so fucking bad. They've bottled up zeke, had a couple of forced fumbles, had an int on Bradford called back, had a bunch of dallas penalties on defense and they've still mustered 3 points at home against a mediocre at best defense.

and then run about 6 minutes off on their next possession.
Field position and defense
It works
I blame you for that catch!
Jinx !!!

Yeah, sorry about that...
Except for the Giants!
You forgot Dean Blandino
I am not seeing it that way. The vikings are doing fine, one bad play ...
I am not seeing that. The defense is not strong at all.
And a fourth.

Cowboys have been getting lucky all year as far as injuries are concerned.

On that last run. He's lucky he's ok

Well they did lose their starting QB in the pre-season

Yeah...and look how that lucked out for them.
Don't they have any plays that can gain more than eight yards?
And these Vikes hung the most embarrassing, dominating defeat on the Giants that the Giants had suffered in a long time.
Better.
