I was thinking about a team’s PS guy.

Gotta add something.

I think it really shows how important Jones was to this offense...the O stalled out when he left the game

Yes, and then it went in reverse with Darnold seemingly injured. That said, I was wrong about the Jones signing... didn't realize he is as good as he is, and thought $7 million for a RB was too much.

Not crowning the Vikings but it's nice to sit back at 5-0 with a morning victory ushering in the peons slugging it out in a bunch of afternoon games.

Literally played for a 53 yard FG. Didn't even try to advance the ball.

Did you see his broken play TD that got them to within 3? He's also a magician.

Someone at CBS needs to humble Romo a bit. It's too much these days. He's drawing shit on the prompter as the plays is being run. It makes it so confusing as to what's going on.

I'm noticing it too. Makes for a very poor viewer experience.

Ohhhhh, Love with the ultimate screwup! What a moron. He sucks!

He got lucky earlier floating the 53 yarder amidst the horrid Rams defense.

Random question on the rookie kicker Reichard.

Is it my imagination, or do his kicks seem to be unusually straight & true, not much hook/slice (or draw/fade) action? Maybe I haven't seen enough of the kicks.

Today at least one was not straight and true. A couple leaned heavily to the right.

It was a nice throw but the D on that play was atrocious.

It should have been an easy PD or maybe an int.

I feel good. Filthy but good.

The defense can score but we are not pretty. Our D is a ton better than 2022-2023 … but the last 2 weeks sure have a 2022 vibe. Playing soft in the 4th but bailed out by one magnificent veteran play.

I kinda feel this game is more emblematic of what we are, more than the previous 4. Good but risky good.

More pieces, more depth required for sure. Although obviously NOT if you go by our record. Like 2022.

But more legit than 2022, much more.

Maybe they'll go back to Romo announcing the plays before the snap... which suggests the game of football is not that complicated.

IIRC, his kicks were all on the right side. That's not what I mean. On the two long kicks, they didn't move left/right at all. The 41 yarder had a little left to right slice/push action.

At least the ones I paid attention to, most don't seem to move left/right as they travel.

So IOW they headed right from the get-go and were technically unusually (?) straight and true, except for the last one which hooked.

Until today they looked true and down the middle, which I like. YMMV.

Couple of easy throws for Love that translate to big stats. Another Cousins.

Meanwhile, Stafford looks done... unless he is injured like Darnold most likely was.

Is there another RB out there we can bring in that can help as a receiver Jones is so good but it was the key today against the Jets. Need another receiving option out of the backfield.

TJ should be back but w/o Jones our offense isn’t as dynamic

Yeah, when the last one curved a bit, I realized that I couldn't remember any of his other kicks curving at all.
