Cowboys have 3 wins at AT&T StadiumStat of the last 15 years, which is how long AT&T Stadium has been around.
Cowboys playoff wins: 2
Packers playoff wins: 3
The third Packers win at AT&T Stadium was the one from today. It's embarrassing that an opposing team has more playoff wins in your building than you do.
Now to pray for the Eagles tomorrow. Team has been horrible the last two months.
Unless something wild happens, they'll give Dak the richest contract extension to date (perhaps 2nd to Mahomes new deal in AAV, not sure). Damned if you do, damned if you don't?This was the year for Dallas to make noise, they are only going to get worse the next several years due to how many players they have to pay. Happy days.

Yep, which is why I'm happy. Short of them having a miracle draft they can't really get better talent wise.Unless something wild happens, they'll give Dak the richest contract extension to date (perhaps 2nd to Mahomes new deal in AAV, not sure). Damned if you do, damned if you don't?
Well that's what I implied by wild, but there's almost no scenario where this happens. The Cowboys have enough talent to compete, and dumping their QB1 would be incredibly foolish. I wouldn't say impossible, but I wouldn't call it a "real chance" either.Cowboys Have 3-Day Window to Save $34 Million by Trading Dak Prescott
The Dallas Cowboys are approaching a major moment in recent franchise history as they determine their future with quarterback Dak Prescott.heavy.com
There is a window for them to get rid of Dak with no cap penalty.
True. That's why we wasted so much money on Elliot when he held out.Well that's what I implied by wild, but there's almost no scenario where this happens. The Cowboys have enough talent to compete, and dumping their QB1 would be incredibly foolish. I wouldn't say impossible, but I wouldn't call it a "real chance" either.
I can think of only two recent examples, the Redskins letting Kirk Cousins walk because they didn't think he was worth a big contract. And the Texans trading away Deshaun Watson, but that was an entirely different situation and the Texans exploited the Browns desperation. The Texans had embraced a full rebuild and in that scenario didn't need a top QB as much as a playoff contender does.
Fans love dunking on Dak continuing his playoffs misery, but I can almost guarantee trading him would be very unpopular in that locker room. For all his warts, Jerry Jones seems to be highly loyal to his coaches and favorite players.
It's just luck. And let's not get too carried away with Jordan Love, who's a first year starter. As a Packers fan, I'd love for him to become an elite QB but everyone will slow their roll if the Niners pummel the overmatched Packers next Saturday.I was thinking by the second quarter "Umm, let's see, 1992-uh, today, uninterrupted....and this is the cycle of QBs that Green Bay has fielded in that time span?"
I mean, it's fricking nuts. Is any organization anywhere that close to going ffrom HoF-HoF-and you know, same sort of caliber-potential in a 2nd year starter?
Who's even 10 seasons of that close to GB?
Tbf, GB has also consistently groomed their top pick future QBs, that they really commit to before starting, to just learn from their current HoF'r. I think that's a huge part of how they've managed to keep this stable running.
You mean Jerruh never kept Tony Romo as backup despite recovering from injury, cut Romo and ate dead cap, all to get Dak started in his career even though Romo looked competent for one more run. Even Dak stays, he might be holding a clipboard before becoming a free agent after next season.Well that's what I implied by wild, but there's almost no scenario where this happens.

Dak won the starter's job away from Romo in 2016, which is basically what Tom Brady did to Drew Bledsoe many years before (likewise Steve Young before that). Then Romo retired before the 2017 season. So entrenched franchise QBs do sometimes get replaced by the backup QB, although that is usually not the standard expectation. Just look up Dak Prescott's 2016 rookie campaign stats and tell me the 13-3 Cowboys should have sat him behind Romo?You mean Jerruh never kept Tony Romo as backup despite recovering from injury, cut Romo and ate dead cap, all to get Dak started in his career even though Romo looked competent for one more run.

If Jerruh wants to move on for whatever they ID as better than Dak, he'll do it.
Dak is more prone to playoff interceptions than Romo, and that's saying something.
Probably isn't really a concern y'all.The game on Peacock did 23 million viewers. Guess you will be seeing more streaming "PPV" playoff games in the future.
How many were free trials? Of course they are trying to spin it positively. Fuck that noise.The game on Peacock did 23 million viewers. Guess you will be seeing more streaming "PPV" playoff games in the future.
which is... disappointing. (Not the free trail, but rather the amount of people that signed up for it to watch ugh)How many were free trials? Of course they are trying to spin it positively. Fuck that noise.
EDIT: looked it up, apparently no Peacock free trials...
I remember someone asking the Lions GM about their QB situation and he said it's a lot easier to get worse at QB than better, i think that applies here as well.Cowboys Have 3-Day Window to Save $34 Million by Trading Dak Prescott

If the Steelers win, it will be because of their running game and defence, not Rudolph, their offence is truly horrendous and the D is missing TJ WattI'm changing my pick to the Steelers.
Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer gonna steamroll the Bills.
34-24
Steel over Bovines.
IIRC the NFL had 19 of the top 20 TV broadcasts of 2023. In today's fragmented and online entertainment world, the NFL is basically the only must see TV remaining.which is... disappointing. (Not the free trail, but rather the amount of people that signed up for it to watch ugh)

Yep. Only exciting game thus far has been Rams vs. Lions.Already shaping up to be another dogshit match up...
Yea I know, good for them to keep the big contracts coming, just I would never pay to watch a pro sports game on TV. If it's not on my cable sub already, zero interest in chasing it down.IIRC the NFL had 19 of the top 20 TV broadcasts of 2023.

They've also been shrewd at maintaining a healthy bidding war between the traditional networks, ESPN and now the OTT streamers to maximize broadcast rights revenue. Contrast this to college football which had a very long term exclusive TV deal with ESPN and is reportedly in advanced talks to extend that deal. At the other end, you have Apple which has an incredibly favorable deal with MLS for a very long time.
People wouldn't pay good money to watch an NBA or MLB first round game, but a Chiefs playoffs game with Taylor Swift jumping up and down? That's easy pickings.
Aside from the Packers outlier game, looking historically, this is just more proof that a 7 seed was an awful idea.
