Ugh, I really hope the Cowboys take this one. I'm saying 24-20 Cowboys.

That was a surprise. Cowboys are supposed to be a joke and funny to watch. They sure were last year.

They actually looked like a decent team tonight. I'm pretty mad now.

Well the problem last year with the Cowboys was their secondary. They addressed that during the off season by getting Brandon Carr and Morris Claiborne. I was impressed by Claiborne handling Nicks the game. I know he was coming off a broken foot, but talk about being thrown into the fire.

Cowboys O-Line playing for the first time together did well overall. It's not easy going against that Giant pass rush. I know it's one game, but Cowboy fans have reason to be optimistic.

I will admit as much as I hate on the cowgirls and how much tony romo is overrated, they played a good game yesterday, and romo looked like a *gasp* good qb minus the interception.

Also Victor Cruz would have a case of the butterfingers when I start him on fantasy.

Don't know why people are just realizing Romo looking good last night. He was great last year minus his Jets and Lions debacle. Really, I would blame their defense more on not making the playoffs last year than him.

I am fairly confident GB can make it to the super bowl.

I don't know what the **** happened last year, but the team dun goofed. The outcome was nothing anybody really expected (Neither the Giants nor the Patriots should have been in there).

Same can be said of any year, though. We know the numbers, but there's that random factor that always present.

The NFC is alot more harder this year....so it won't be easy for GB to be a favorite.
Still gotta focus on others like 49ers, bears, saints, giants, lions etc...

Agreed, when he screws up, it's pretty bad, but he was never really the Cowboys' problem.

The Cowboys were a pretty decent team last year. They were 1 game into making it into the playoffs and lost to the Giants who were obviously playing amazing football and went on to win the Super Bowl. Romo screws up alot, but he can be a very amazing quarterback as demonstrated last night. I personally think Cowboys are the best team in the NFC East this year, they improved their defense from last year and Demarco Murray is back playing as the RB. If Romo plays decently I think they can do very well this season.

I still think Packers are the team to beat in the NFC though, I mean they went 15-1 last year with a whole ton of injuries. I never liked the Giants as a team but somehow they always do great. I'd watch out for the Falcons too, one of these seasons their going to do good in the playoffs too. As for AFC I think the Texans are a huge threat this year. Their season was ruined last year with so many injuries. Patriots, Steelers, Ravens all of course are contenders though.

Top teams in NFC IMO are...

1. Packers
2. 49ers
3. Giants
4. Da Bears
5. Cowboys/Eagles (Eagles are better on paper...)
6. Lions

I'll be personally rooting for my 49ers of course. They should be on a mission. Too bad their first game is at Lambeau field.

hmm... Giants over the Eagles. I agree with this list though I do think that the Eagles are 3rd in the nfc behind yes, the 49ers and Packers. Bears are over rated.

On paper, I'd say the Eagles are tied for 2nd with the niners. But in practice, who knows. We could go 14-2, or 7-9. These first few weeks are gonna determine how consistent we can be for once.

Colts looked great for a minute. Let's see if they can summon that spirit again (AKA Freeny comes back after the half T_T)

Man, I decided to bench Adrian Peterson because it looked like even if he were to play, it would be limited, and he goes on to get 20 point in fantasy. Compare that to, well, nothing at the moment since my two RBs I have in my roster, Darren McFadden and Ronnie Brown, both play the same game tomorrow, but on opposing teams.

And then I also benched Demarius Thomas for god know what reason and he's got 19.5 points, whereas all my other WRs couldn't manage even 10 points.

My two QBs didn't do hot (Mathew stafford and Andrew Luck). I think I will replace Andrew, but I don't know who, right now.

Now I am at a 27 point deficit. My two RBs will have to net me, like, 30 points in order for me to pull off a win. And he still has one player to go tomorrow.
