Lol.
No. Just a realist.

And speaking of realism.

Romo to backup Dak Prescott next week.

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said after Sunday's 35-30 win at Pittsburgh that Tony Romo will be active as the backup quarterback to Dak Prescott for next week's game against the Baltimore Ravens.

The rookie Prescott has led the Cowboys to an 8-1 record.

"We're going to let this decision in this case make itself," Jones said. "Dak's got a hot hand and we're going to go with it."

Looks like you were a tad off on your prediction. But I'm pretty stoked the seahawks won, I'm a fan but if I was betting money I would have bet on the Patriots before the game.
 
With the production he has had this year, Elliott is probably your legitimate MVP candidate. His name isn't Brady, so he probably doesn't win, but he's the best player in the NFL right now.
 
I really didn't understand that QB sneak Brady tried to do. Ended up costing an entire down as well.

NYG game was weird. Sometimes I think Eli tries to see how well he can do int he first half, and then see how badly he can do in the 2nd half.
 
Goff finally gets the start!

This isn't so much about wins/losses, Rams were not doing anything this year anyway so the growth and maturation of Goff is significantly more important than trying to get a playoff spot, only to get bounced in the wild card round. Even if Miami's front four puts a beating of Goff, it's what is required to see where Goff is at and it allows Goff to learn what he needs to do as a QB in the NFL vs. playing from the shotgun at Cal.

So amped for this sunday!

That's because NO ONE would expect a QB sneak from 1 yard out.;) They were trying to trick the Seahawks, kinda like Dan Marino's Clock Play. (Greatest trick play evah:cool:). I would have fed Blount again and again if needed.

look up Dan Marino Clock play or Dan Marino fake spike on youtube. Can't embed because the NFL = no fun
:mad:

Good Luck, diehard Fins fan, I don't think it will be an easy game for us at all. Our O line is hurting Pouncey and Albert are not starting, so your front 4 might have a day on tannypants.

Same for the Dolphins front 4 especially against a rookie QB who's more comfortable in the shotgun vs. under centre. No surprise that the line was MIA -1.5 when I last checked. It's likely going to be a defensive game, definitely not surprising for the Rams to be in another game where the defense is likely going to carry the team.

It's not like Keenum was exactly lighting up the Seahawks defense. Rams/Seahawks games are actually quite entertaining to watch despite both offenses are non-existent when they play each other! Can't wait for the next one!

He for sure wasn't but it's just weird how they suck against basically everyone but the seahawks. It's like the stars align just right when they play the seahawks and now with Goff maybe the stars won't align.

They play the hawks in Seattle next time and if Seattle stays healthy its not gonna be a 10-6 game.

Still likely going to be a close one. These two teams just play each other very closely. If it's a defensive battle, it's a close, low-scoring game. If Seahawks find their rhythm, the Rams suddenly have an offense.

Here are the scores of Rams/Seahawks since Jeff Fisher took over the Rams:

9-3
23-17
34-31
20-6
28-26
27-9
14-9
20-13
19-13

Basically, whatever each team does, the other team says they can match it.
