Read More »Cowboys lost more penalty yards than 4 teams ran for
If there’s a word that can sum up the Dallas Cowboys‘ 2021 season it’s this: discipline. As in, a lack thereof. The Cowboys watched their season crater in Sunday’s NFC wild-card loss to the San Francisco 49ers, and it happened in perhaps what should have been predictable fashion. Sure, the end-of-game execution on Dak Prescott‘s failed QB sneak and spike was big. But there’s no way we can overlook the impact of the huge holding call in the first quarter (see below) or the delay of game… Source link

Coming into this past weekend, we only had 13 NFL games left until September, so complaining about any of them seems a little ungrateful. But let’s be honest … several of the allegedly “super” wild-card matchups in the NFL playoffs stunk like those Thanksgiving leftovers you just discovered in the back of the fridge.

Read More »Mediocre NFC teams vie for wild card
How does NFL playoff expansion look? It’s with three deeply flawed 7-7 teams fighting for the No. 7 seed in the NFC. More often than not that extra playoff team will be mediocre at best, and coming down the stretch we have three .500 teams battling it out for the postseason. Barring a collapse, it seems the NFC West will have three teams in: Rams, Cardinals and 49ers. That leaves one wild-card spot for the Minnesota Vikings, New Orleans Saints or Philadelphia Eagles (or, if things really… Source link
