Tyrod had no help at receiver this year

Tyrod gained 101 yards on inaccurate throws last year. Cousins gained 105 yards on inaccurate throws from Weeks 1 to 2. @LeBatardShow Essentially, this is saying that Kirk Cousins was bailed out a lot in the first two weeks on bad throws because his receivers were good.

Sean Lee Makes It To The Pro Bowl

Every year there are some perceived snubs when the roster for the Pro Bowl comes out, and this time around one of the most obvious ones was the omission of Dallas Cowboys linebacker Sean Lee , who was later rightfully selected as an All Pro. That error has been corrected.

The Future Belongs To The Cowboys, Now They Must Seize It

An unheralded rookie quarterback, drafted much later than the vast majority of franchise signal-callers, who was never expected to start early in his career, suddenly takes over as the starter after an impressive preseason. He goes on to have one of the best rookie seasons ever with a QB rating in the triple digits, a sparkling yards per attempt near 8.0, over 3,000 yards passing and 30 total touchdowns despite playing in a ball-control offense, all while limiting turnovers.

Packers-Falcons NFC matchup expected to produce big offence

The high-scoring offences of the Atlanta Falcons and Green Bay Packers appear poised to provide a memorable send-off for the Georgia Dome. Factor in the teams’ leaky defences, and Sunday’s NFC championship game could surge past the unusually high over/under of 60 1/2 points set by the Westgate Las Vegas Superbook.

Super Bowl 2017: Date, Schedule and Predicting Teams for NFL Championship Game

The participants who have earned entry to the NFC and AFC Championship Games that will take place on Sunday, January 22, have been decided, and it’s only natural to start predicting what the final combination of teams that will advance to Super Bowl LI will be.

TRINITARIAN (profanity alert):

Belichick’s diverse background may be rare among head coaches, but it’s common among his assistants. He gravitates toward staff members who possess similar flexibility, whether it comes from working with the offense and defense alike or from working in different parts of the organization.

Your Opinion

After another improbable throw from Aaron Rodgers that propelled the Green Bay Packers to a playoff win, coach Mike McCarthy was asked if it was the best one yet from his star quarterback.

Bpa in Round 1? Who Would that Be?

One thing we know about Reg is he mines the draft for quality. Remember when he drafted Khalil Mack? I loved the guy at that place, BUT WE HAD NO QUARTERBACK! Am I the only one who went bonkers when he passed up QB with that pick? It didn’t matter what the team needed, Reggie wanted the BPA.

Tony Romo could make a significant difference on these NFL teams

Tony Romo shook some hands, waved to a few fans and headed up the tunnel at AT&T Stadium on Sunday, perhaps for the final time as a member of the Dallas Cowboys. While everyone was having fun with their “put in Romo” tweets throughout the game, impressive rookie quarterback Dak Prescott nearly led Dallas to a comeback victory before Aaron Rodgers did his Aaron Rodgers things in Green Bay’s last-second 34-31 win.
