I think you are better off finding someone to replace Lee. Dude cannot stay on the field.[/quote]
Hard to not have hope, I think if you can get some big uglies that take up space in front off him maybe that can help.

The prospect of a Seattle/Dallas NCF showdown while SanFrancisco melts down like 3-mile Island is an exciting proposition. Right BDCooper?

323

Has anyone given Derek props yet for sticking to his guns and saying Johnny Football is made of glass?

In related news, Browns called Sexy Rexy Grossman to back-up undrafted rookie starter Connor Shaw. Grossman said he couldn’t make it because, “his whole family is in for the holiday.”

So is any team in the NFC going to take down Seattle in the playoffs?

Dallas could end up the # seed in the NFC if they win, but I still don’t see them stopping Seattle. [/quote]

Seattle is going to be tough if they beat the Rams and get a first seed and a bye. They are getting healthier and stronger. They will likely get Unger and OKung back for the first game with the bye week. [/quote]

Wilson is just so damn good…you think he’s sacked and then he runs for 50 yards. [/quote]

Dallas is looking scary. I like Seattle’s chances against the Packers and Lions better. Although I think a Dallas-Seattle game is going to look a little different this time around than the game looked during the regular season. [/quote]

Dallas is playing as well as any team, but there’s still that Romo factor and I think they’re just waiting for that right moment. I’m a huge PATS fan so I’m hoping Seattle gets knocked off [/quote]
Different year, Romo has never had this kind of OL or running game. [/quote]

Yea- quite honestly I could see Dallas making a real run this time around. I’d almost be ok with it b/c they finally did things right in regards to draft and play calling IMHO. I think seeing SEA-DAL matchup at some point would be good although I could just as easily see it going the way of the last SuperBowl.[/quote]

Suh is a free agent at the end of this season.

Lee moving to Sam backer with McClain staying at Mike. That would be scary for opposing teams, and should help to possibly keeping Lee on the field. I really like McClain, he is an outstanding player. I like Lee too, but he hasn’t proven he can stay on the field.

We are free to do whatever we want in the draft. It will be heavy on the defensive side of the ball though.

Detroit will keep Suh I believe.

I also agree on Lee and McClain, McClain has been a pleasant find this year. We need DL and I think JJ will go with that now that our OL is set for many, many years.

Suh is out in Detriot. He will be playing for another team next year.

Come on guys, we all know the Cowboys will choke when it matters.

Maybe he can talk about how great Kap is.

However again this is a different team. He has not had to carry this team. He will now take a sack as opposed to force things to make a play. No December slump this year, lead leading rusher, 2 OL in pro bowl, Dez league leading TDs.

Have you watched ANY games or are you going off history and highlight clips?

331

I have always hated the cowboys…but for this year I would love to see Romo in the SB, Im pulling for him, I always thought he got way too much shit for what was an overall team deficiencies. Now he has it all on offense, so right now there should be no excuses to go relatively far in the playoffs.

332

Food for thought:

333

3 OL in pro bowl

I like Romo and the boys, so I hope Seattle chews them up like they did Denver last year. I don’t want Romo to suffer, haunted with “what if I didn’t choke I’d be a hero and success” running over and over in his head every night while he lies in bed with insomnia, shivering in a pool of cold sweat.

Just trolling you guys. Only game i saw of theirs was the Thanksgiving one.

339

Wilson got passed over for the pro bowl. I guess he’s gonna have to settle for another Superbowl ring.

340

Alex Smith out with a lacerated spleen. An advantage for the Chargers perhaps.
