    Here it is. The IT DOESN'T EVEN MATTER, YOU CAN'T WIN Bowl. If the Cowboys lose to the 49ers, they're exposed as frauds. If the Cowboys beat the 49ers, it doesn't matter, do it when it counts, it's not the playoffs, blah blah blah. The lesson, as always...you can't win.

    In the meantime, tonight we get a stinker in WC team vs. Bears. I'm probably skipping that one.

    49ers-Cowboys should be a great one. I'm not even sure who I should root for, a tie?

    The Eagles play the Rams which should be their toughest test of the season as our secondary is very banged up and Kupp might be back for LA. I expect it to be a high scoring affair. Hopefully our D-Line can get to Stafford a bunch. A loss here would not shock me.

    Jags-Bills play a morning game in London. This might be a fun one.

    For the 1pm games, I'll probably be flipping between Giants-Dolphins & Ravens-Steelers.

    Nice to see the Bears finally figure s**t out with d**k Butkus on their minds.

    Buddy of mine started both DJ Moore and Justin Fields this week. The two combined for 81 points. Ouch. Fortunately I'm not going against him this week.

    Speaking of the NFC North, I wrote this about Jared Goff finally finding comfort with the Detroit Lions: Jared Goff Finally Finds a Home - Sports Chump

    After the news of d**k Butkus' passing I was very tempted to bet on the Bears. The line was 6...then I remembered I don't believe in that cosmic crap. Perhaps I should start doing it...

    Eagles win again despite it not looking pretty. 5=0 is tough to do though. Nice to see Dallas Goedart be a big part of the offense again. Hassan Reddick with 2 sacks was beautiful to see.

    Oh wow...I think the Cowboys finally broke me. After 28 years, right as the score hit 35-10 I said "enough" and turned off the TV. I don't know what to do with my life now.

    The 49ers are just a machine right now. Scary good.

    I mean...yes, a loss was always a possibility...but not a loss LIKE THAT. At least in the Romo years, when we fell back by 2 or 3 scores there was always the possibility that he would bring us back. For the past 7 years with Dak, once we fall down by 10, the game is over. At least that's how it feels. This team quit in the second quarter, I don't care what they say...I'm not blind. Beating up bad teams is fun and all that but we're not facing the likes of the Giants or Patriots in january.

    I want to be so done with this team...I think I'm closer than ever...

    Blowing out bad teams has stopped being fun. Being caught off guard by bad teams always seems to happen at least once a year. At this point, I don't even want to beat good teams...just hang with them...compete!! Make it interesting. I don't want to turn off the TV in the 3rd quarter. This is what I mean when I say it stopped being fun. We don't actually contend...we don't tank, we don't bottom out. It's just 10-12 wins and a quick playoff exit for the past decade. The worst place to be.

    Yeah, I would be frustrated in your position as well. It's kind of things are with the 76ers for me. Can't really win it all and can't blow it up either.

    F*ck it. Bellichick to the Cowboys next year.

    He wants the Shula record, he's 30 wins away and won't get it in New England. The Cowboys roster is already in place, good for 10 wins per year, but no way to win a title. Jerry has already done something like that with Parcells 20 years ago. He can do it and sit down and relax because the Cowboys will continue to be the center of attention in the whole observable Universe.

    It started as a joke but the more I think about it, the more sense it makes, and not for the right reasons XD.
