Assisting a runner is definitely a penalty and has always been very selectively called.

 

I don't get why you even bother to have a rule in the rulebook if you're not going to ever enforce it. It's like a lane violation on a free throw in basketball. It technically is a rule, but it happens on every free throw and is never called.

Does that mean the Vikings are not that good either? Because these two teams look very evenly matched.

 

I personally think the Cowboys, though they'll probably win the division, won't be long for the playoffs. I do think the Vikings are definitely better and would fear them a lot more in January.

 

How the teams match up on one particular night isn't everything, it's just one piece of information. The Chargers looked like a really good football team against us last week and we looked like a very bad one but we know that isn't true.

I just think you are selling that Cowboys team short. There is a ton of offensive skill position talent there.

I don’t think there’s much difference between teams like DAL, MIN, SF, NO, SEA or GB. Any week these teams could beat each other. All very similar and have flaws.
"This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.

Exactly ... and there's where the ability to pull out a win, even in ugly fashion, is huge. This Packers team is probably not a whole heck of a lot better talent wise than last year's team, yet they are going to finish with a much better record. Yeah, there's a little luck involved. But doing just enough to be able to pull out wins at the end is the difference between making the playoffs and not when you have a bunch of teams with similar talent levels and flaws.

Maybe. I think Dak is a bit overrated and not going to get them to the next level, but I do acknowledge there's the potential for any contender to get hot and play a good game and go on a run. Which is why it's more important than ever to get a top 2 seed and get a bye for the 1st round.

The Packers barely lost a bunch of games last year. They're winning those games this year, that is really the only difference and usually the only difference between 6-10 and 11-5. Ask most losing team's fans and they'll immediately pick a handful of games that they could've won with a different outcome on one or two plays.

 

All I know is there is no super team this year. As good a year as any to get Rodgers a second title.

Dak Prescott is a good QB. Not exactly consistent, but a solid guy. Joe Flacco has a ring and Eli Manning has two...and they are not the only not elite QBs to get a ring. Prescott can definitely lead a Super Bowl team. Isn’t exactly as dreamy as having a Rodgers/Brady/P Manning...but he can get the job done.

 

It is terrifyingly depressing how often it takes an elite QB though...not a ton of average to good QBs winning it all lately. Of course doesn’t help Brady wins every other year essentially.

Two runs? Derp
"Dustin Pedroia doesn't have the strength or bat speed to hit major-league pitching consistently, and he has no power......He probably has a future as a backup infielder if he can stop rolling over to third base and shortstop." Keith Law, 2006
