The Cowboys defense was bad last year and will be worse this year on top of it now being coordinated by an idiot. They aren't going to stop anyone. They are a Dak injury away from having to play an absolutely awful qb and they don't have an every down running back. There's no reason to be optimistic.
Mayfield averaged 15.1 ypa in that game and Mahomes threw 88 passes. He was almost the first quarterback to hit his pitch count limit and get pulled. What an insane game.
Napier has the same fondness for overly physical practices that Venables has. It's not an if, but a when that they are going to have injury issues again.
You wouldn't think so, but you aren't Manfred. St. Louis and KC would be an interesting divisional rivalry because there are a lot of people who root for both teams in the midwest.
Wisner will also have a lot fewer carries inside and in shortage situations that he wasn't suited to that will go to Baxter and Clark/Gibson. That will help his average.
The 2009 offense was Colt running for his life and waiting for Shipley to get open. The 2008 offense was very good, but no one replaced Quan and Obiwan on the 2009 team and the OL was worse.
The first quarter/half of the last preseason game is the only one worth watching unless you can get excited about watching 2nd and 3rd stringers battle it out against guys that are about to be cut. The backup qb play is generally so shitty that it makes the games very boring.
That actually makes it even more ridiculous. It's more likely that those teams end the season unranked than it is for all 3 of them to make the playoffs.
They fucked up simple things at IAH, like signs telling you where things are. I think it's the only airport we've gotten lost in and it was because there weren't enough signs.
