Exactly. Screw the Krauts... Buy 'Murica!



I can't be happier with the way UA clothing fits. I'm a biscuit south of 285 and all of the 2X jersey's and shirts have been spot on except one Shamrock Series T-Shirt that was definitely a slim, hipster cut. Have had the same luck with the shoes. Adidas shoes are like Chinese foot binding.

Not me...all the 3/4 zipper stuff is too tapered for me...

I haven't really messed with the jersey/shirts...just the jackets and shells, etc. My old adidas stuff still fits well...I wear adidas sneakers occasionally...I have some now...fit me fine.

Guessing we are different body types. I'm 5'9, chest about 52, waist 36-38. I'm kinda a plug, so tapered shit isn't my thing...at all.

That's nice, but they won't make the playoffs.

the NFC east is dung, if they keep Romo healthy and have a half decent showing on D they will walk into the playoffs

Neither of those things is likely. They didn't draft anyone that can help them this year on defense. And Romo is literally always hurt.

I say put in on the PUP if that's the case and makes sure he's fully healthy and ready to go by 2017

You can't use the word literally and make a statement that isn't remotely close to accurate and think you'll get away with it. Over his 10 seasons as a starter he averages 13.3 games played per year. Definitely not Favre territory, but its hardly "always hurt". Over the last 5 seasons he's played 4, 15, 15, 16, 16. Again not even remotely close to always hurt, lol.

I also disagree that they won't get any help from Collins and Tapper. I think Collins will be a nice depth player for Marinelli.

They went 12-4 two seasons ago with, essentially, the same roster, ex Murray. They think they just upgraded that position back to that Murray level production.

Lastly, they were 3-1 last season when Romo was healthy, that means that in his last 21 games played they are 15-6, including what should've been a road playoff win against the Packers ;)

With that said, I'd be against the idea of them playing Smith in the playoffs ,should it be even remotely questionable if he is 110%or not.

The Cowboys could certainly make the playoffs. The NFC East is hot garbage inside a burning tire, thrown in a dumpster that then ignites. The best thing that will happen to the NFC East this year is being compared to the AFC South, which is hotter garbage.

Thankfully the Black & Blue has both divisions on our schedules this year which means the Bears are in the playoffs! (fingers crossed)

You can be hurt and still play, which is what I think he was referring to. I quit following the Cowboys once Jones bought them, but it seems that whenever I watch the Cowboys the announcers are always talking about Romo being hurt.

Then he is the most productive "always hurt" player in the history of sports, lol. He's thrown for 3,705, 3828, 4903, 4184 over the previous 4 seasons, obviously excluding last season.

Romo has missed games or played through injuries in at least the last 4 seasons. I didn't say he will definitely miss games, only that he will be injured. A 100% Tony Romo would be a big help, but he is 36 years old and not getting any less fragile. I think the Cowboys finish no better than 3rd in the division. I believe Vegas agrees with me.

I wouldn't say the AFC South is hot garbage.
The Jags are young, and have (potentially) the pieces in place for their future, and should improve this year.
Titans, time will tell. They could certainly do better.
The Colts are strange, they should be good, but they seem to disappoint. Certainly not a bad team though.
And the Texans just got their (hopeful) franchise QB with skilled players around him, a good defense, and now a solid young center to anchor a line and work with Osweiler for many years.

Convince me that the AFC south isn't clearly the weakest division in the AFC.

To me the other 3 divisions are clearly stronger and it isn't close.

I'll agree the AFC-S has to be improving cuz they couldn't possibly be as bad as they were last year. The AFC-S was 13-27 against the rest of the league. In an attempt to find common ground, I will upgrade them to lukewarm refuse.

I'm not denying the other three aren't stronger, but I wouldn't say they are hot garbage. It's all relative.

Absolutely agree that they were bad last year. I just believe improvement is coming soon for all the teams. Now whether that actually happens or not... well that's why the games are played. I will say your upgrade is a fair assessment.

Even as a Colts fan, I will admit the AFCS is hot garbage. The Jags may have had a decent draft and showed some progress last year, ut they're still the Jags until they prove otherwise. The Titans are still a train wreck. The Texans have done less with a talented roster year after year. The Colts took a step back last years due to the love spat between Grigson and Pagano. It appears Irsay has fixed this and now that Luck has some protection (at least it appears so), the Colts should be back to normal.

BTW Jaylon is not going to be IR'd this year. Jones expects a return by playoffs.

I don't see what the point of that is...

Jaylon will make a game winning effort with major contention on the line between these two you think?
