I’m talking about filling your plate a second or third time of course. How the hell are you going to doze off in front of the TV otherwise? Sheesh!
TO THE GAME!
Team/Cowboys:
-Bearing in mind the division these guys play in you can say that both are riding high on one game winning streaks.
-Each team in the NFC East has won three games and it’s the sort of logjam that your uncle creates in yer terlet just before he leaves your house at the end of the night, telling no one. The Eagles precocious tie gives then a lofty .350 winning percentage and the division lead.
-Battle of the Backups! Both Dalton and Smith have been underwhelming although the former had his way last week with a Vikes D that has given up the ghost. Things shouldn’t be as easy this time around as Team’s D exerts all kinds of pressure up front and has an underrated secondary.
-“Scary Terry” is listed as questionable but his ability is not. He’s playing on an anemic O featuring a third-string qb and somehow he’s 4th in the league in receiving. It does sorta help that he has no help in the passing game but still…
-Zeke had his very first 100 yard game last week. It probably had something to do with benching Terrance Steele and shuffling what’s left of the talent on the line (Zach Martin and Connor McGovern) over to the right side. When the Cowboys ran to that side they did so at 7.2 yards a pop.
Continue doing that thing you were doing. It felt very nice!
Fuckballs
Antonio Gibson for non QB Offensive rookie of the year?
You were saying?
That Jefferson WR kid from Minnesota is having a year.
Good call
This fixture is an absolute Ron Rivera wet dream. Disciplined, well-prepared, dominating LOS on both sides of el pelota. Then, a calculated risk to press leverage.
Also Dan Snyder might be forced to sell the team.
That would be a beautiful day
That’s not McKissic either. Eat shit, Team.
I think Gibson is the main RB now.
Not that this is at all helpful
Possibly could have been helpful before I decided to start McKissic
The only ‘run’ Andy Reid likes, Troy, is a midnight run to White Castle
Joe Buck seems really surprised that the Cowboys can’t break tackles when the defender has both hands wrapped around their legs.
Its like any moment now the greatness will emerge and it’ll be 1992 all over again
I don’t think that crowd in the Jerrahdome is feeling the spirit of Thanksgiving
Fuck ’em; they probably voted Trump.
THE OL’ DOUBLE J is gonna do all the blow and drink all the liquor in the Metroplex tonight.
That’s different how?
Angry drinking and blow vs. happy drinking and blow
FG and Touchdown and 2 point conversion from Dallas and we’re back in business for the tie!
First rule of trickeration – make sure to telegraph it as much as humanly possible.
Second rule – make sure it is a very slow-developing play, so the defense will get sleepy!
Third rule: Have a punter who does not block under any circumstances
He really did just wave at the defender didn’t he?
Not sure if he wasn’t supposed to be a pass target, given how he looked back.
THAT PLAY I CALL IT AN ABORTION BECAUSE IT WAS POORLY CONCEIVED AND DEAD ON ARRIVAL
This game is hilarious, almost makes me miss being a fan of Team
“What’s it like? You know, cutting ties? How does it feel?”
-D. Carradine, M. Hutchence
Cowfolk making the Team D look AMAZE
Losing Zack Martin seems to have ruined what cohesion the O-line was starting to develop
Speaking of The Smiths, (have always loved the name they chose) can I just have “How Soon Is Now?” and be done with the rest of it? Morrissey is a piece of shit but that tune still speaks to me 35 years later.
“What she said” is my go to.
I like pretty much the whole discography, aside from “November Spawned”
/Panic is my absolute favoUrite
+1 Rubber Ring.
Heh, take my upvote and like it.
My 1990s ex got custody of the Smiths. On the other hand I kept the Kraftwerk and OMD.
Who got The Cure?
Here at DFO we ask the important questions.
Cure, Siouxsie and Bauhaus went with me. They insisted on REM and Depeche Mode. Fairly bitterly contested New Order.
I would have traded DM for New Order. REM can go right in the trash next to TWBS’ Green Day records.
I’d have given all of DM for just the first two New Order albums. And I wouldn’t have complained in the least if I was arrested for robbery.
-Me, watching that fake punt
oh, that was an open guffaw. NEVAR CHANGE, BLUEBUNNY!!
Mike McCarthy is useless.
That’s the end of the 3, and the end of my abstaining for the afternoon!
Impressed you held out this long
Especially with…*gestures vaguely towards the city of dallas*
/pokes Team with a stick
Do something, McKissic!
I haven’t been watching, is he dead or just useless?
I don’t know much about wine, but i just opened a Gamay from the fancy liquor store, and lady bfc thinks it’s vinegary. I don’t but it feels a little effervescent. Is it bad? It’s pretty newish and not dirt cheap.
For further context, I’ll drink it whether or not it’s bad but I feel like I should ask this esteemed assemblage
Sounds bad. Maybe you got a bad bottle? It happens.
Bad like don’t drink it or bad like wash it down with higher quality hooch?
I wouldn’t drink it.
Me neither, I’d mainline it and hope for the best.
Nothing in a wine is gonna hurt you, mix it with some cola if it tastes gross
Memories of Barcelona! Hang some ham up on the walls and you are in flavoUr country!
Yes! Valencia for me, when the cola is more expensive than the table wine..
Does it have a cork? If so, check for rot
Cork looks fine. And it had a wax seal, so you know it’s [something something hipster bullshit something something]
Gamay from where?
It days Vivanterre, Gamay, MVB
It is a natural wine. It can and sometimes is supposed to be that way. It is considered raw wine so flaws and all.
Oooooh, looks like we got a sommelier on our hands, boys.
Backs into corner with my tastevin.
I knew someone here would have an answer.
Who wants to bet on a completion to McLauren for exactly 19 yards on this play?
Becoming a big fan of McLaurin. Maybe even a ceiling fan!
Big upside there.
“Battle through” Van der Esch, Troy? Battle through!? Van der Esch literally patted him on the back and called it a day. Jaylon Smith should beat his ass for that “block”
We gotta get back on track for a tie
“We got this!”
-Windsor, Canada
Amari Cooper had 4 receptions for 98 yards and a TD in the first half, and Dallas’s half-time adjustment seems to have been to never throw him the ball again.
Can’t even blame McCarthy for that. Dalton hit Lamb right in the paddles.
Dall Ass getting super cute after the turnover. Dumbasses.
Too bad Morrissey is such a racist twat. I love me some The Smiths.
/at least Robert Smith is a good person.
Pure McCarthy is delicious McCarthy.
Jesus Christ.
Wow, that was SO STUPID
That was the dictionary definition of “ill-advised”.
What a pick by Jaylon Smith! Now let’s watch Mike McCarthy weave his magic and turn this into 3 points!
Challenge ACCEPTED!
Wow
NostraCornblower!
Sudden Non-Gendered Change!!
Sudden Narrative Reversal!
What’s everyone planning on watching in lieu of Birds/Metal workers?
Is Yule Log on yet
Netflix in 4K!
Mexican soccer
Same here.
Might look for MST3K on youtube.
Gonna rewatch this game in reverse so as to hopefully erase it from my mind.
Do some reading, mainly translated Chinese wuxia web novels.
If I were in the Cowboys secondary I would be asking to be taken off the field as well.
/checks various fantasy football leagues to see how all my Cowboy players are doing
[slaps forehead] “Damn, totally forgot! I’ve never drafted a single Dallas player ever in 22 years of playing fantasy football!”
I drafted Zeke, Cooper, and Lamb, and when Dak(!) was the QB my team was putting up insane points.
Now they’re just driving me insane.
The Red Rockette has always been just three high kicks short of being a top 10 qb for his career.
It’s a shame that Andy Dalton gets sacked by 4 guys when there are probably plenty of other people out there who would enjoy it more
My Cornish hens are on the counter chillaxing, waiting for their sexy butter and herb rub before they go into the “sauna”
This ought to be good!
You West Coast people are freaking me out, since I’m already raiding the refrigerator for leftovers.
We haven’t even sat down to dinner yet. Late breakfast and day drinking have been the key performance indicators so far.
My parents literally woke up about an hour ago. Retired life is apparently amazing.
We were going to eat earlier, but we decided to have brunch. Peanut butter french toast, bacon, and some amazing pineapple. Dinner around 6, weed and football( sort of) now.
Bank Account!
A Chase Young vs. Andy Dalton battle just seems cruel to Bengals fans right now. Oh what I am I saying, they’d never notice it beyond the existing cruelty of simply being Bengals fans.
Tenderloin was perfectly rare, the yorkshire pudding was an excellent sop for the beef drippings, mushroom, and rosemary gravy. The asparagus was perfect as well. The wife and kid are still eating. Time for the couch coma.
I’m pretty sure you just made my christmas dinner
Yep, we shall have the same but may add Welsh rarebit for broccoli instead of asparagus.
Oh man i miss rarebit.
That’s the tastiest food that mocks an ethnic group I know of
Sounds like a plan!
That’s good hustle.
/slaps on ass HARD
Did we anoint David Carradine as the god of ties?
Because I would like a David Carradine in this game.
Just decide don’t leave everyone hanging
As far as the God of Ties is concerned, he’s got some stiff competition from Mikey Hutchence.
You never go full Dungy
What about Back to the Future 2 Marty McFly?
Horatio, I’m back. Sorry to disappoint your wife (though she should be used to it) but I’m not a detectorist.
Just a weird fetish then? Cool, I get it.
/Starts drafting restraining order
Deep mountain speed dating.
Couples fun!
That may have been the best Thanksgiving dinner ever. As an obvious Gravy aficionado I freaking nailed that gravy.
Now we have a nice pinot noir and it’s chill 30.
Love you people.
I know you guys love AT&T Lil, but that fake cutesie thing she does in that commercial makes me want to punch her, hard. And I’m a mean ole bitch, so she would feel it!
One of the worst people ever to comment here had a huge crush on her, and that forever ruined her for me.
I also am not a fan.
Year of the fumble? What an unfortunate zodiac sign, good thing it didn’t happen to anyone likeable.
Nods
-A. Smith
That’ll be it for Zeke tonight. He just straight dropped that one.
