Leave it to the damn Cowgirls that in a season when our team is flat out bad and in need of a influx of quality young talent that they are also so bad that it's possible for us to win the division with a 5-10-1 record instead of getting a top 10 draft pick.  That's pretty much a worse case scenario for us to have performed that bad on the field yet be drafting in the 20s.  

 

I think you’re underestimating that Washington could win this division if Alex Smith can get back to where he was prior to the injury. I don’t think it’s unrealistic for Washington if Alex Smith plays well to win enough games to win this division

We have a chance to be the worst team in NFL history to make the playoffs.  That’s something to root for!

I need to see a replay.  I've only seen it once and that's not how I remember it. 

yeah. He landed with 1 foot inbounds. He wasnt coming down inbounds even if he caught it because it was overthrown.

Jerry Jones somehow hiring someone worse than Garrett is more impressive than all his SBs combined. Just a special special achievement.

A little premature. It’s week 5 of his first season and his offense has been going off.

I think Washington’s o-line is going to get Smith killed 

Giants are going to blow this game.

I dont think it was. Im betting on a dislocation. 

This may have been  Hightower's best game. He was open down field so many times. Carson missed every throw to him. 

Yeah I think it was a bad dislocation with ligament damage rather than bone fracture, it certainly wasn't a compound fracture or there'd have been blood everywhere.

I mean the blood flow to feet and ankles mean there probably isn't much difference in terms of recovery time between torn ligaments and bone breaks  but it looked more like a displaced joint than a broken bone.

It could end in a tie!

Yeah Wentz overthrew that ball to Hightower. He wasn’t catching it even if he came down with the ball.

yeah its horrible the way he completely misjudged where the ball was coming down with his hands. But the ball was also long, and high. And he wasnt going to come down in bounds anyway even if he caught it. 

It was overthrown. Not overthrown out of his reach. Overthrown out of the field of play. 

IIRC, it was a nice throw with great placement...really tough catch though and I thought the defender may have gotten a hand in there.  Not sure it was a drop.

It was not. 

If Dallas wins that’s 2 Ws to winless teams for combined 0-10 

I thought Hightower made it look like a tougher catch than it was. Not easy, but very catchable for an NFL WR.

I really think the defender got in there.

He had his hands where the ball wasnt falling. It went through the crease of his arm. Complete misjudgement of hand placement to catch it. But the field was too short for where Carson put it. It was well out the back of the end zone. He jumped for it and didnt even come down in bounds. And I could tell while he was running and the ball was coming that he was running out of room. And he did. 

I think in all the disbelief of how bad that ball went through his arm people didnt pay attention to the field to notice he ran out of real estate which means the ball was overthrown.

Possible. But it’s not like any of these teams don’t Have flaws. if they can manage to keep smith upright he gives them a better chance than Haskins.

It felt like the Agholor play from the New England game last season. Not an easy catch to come down with, but if tracked properly, an efficient WR comes down with it.

agholor was still in bounds because the ball wasnt thrown out of the back of the end zone like Hightower's was. 

Slayton is such a baller for the Giants. Really nice player. 

they stopped that clock. in dallas.

we really got screwed on ours. 

Andy Dalton is arguably the best QB in the division

Also, a rookie WR who doesn't bend that route to the far corner to give Wentz more room in front of him in which to place it. 

Rewound that play a couple times and it just felt forced, like the offensive scheme this year.  Too many chefs.

Maybe now we can trade Hurts to the Cowboys for CeeDee🤣

Can’t wait for the "Dallas should sign Kaepernick” takes, if they didn’t start already

I saw about 10-15 catches better than that watching college football.  Every NFL game there are catches tougher than that.  Somehow Fulgham looks legit but the Eagles are the absolute worst at evaluating WR talent.
