Vikings have a QB

Dobbs the Browns had him for a cup of coffee

Texans seem to have really found something in Stroud.  I live about an hour out of Houston and I wonder how much success do the Texans need to have before all these "Dallas fans" jump on the Houston bandwagon.

It's amazing around here how many people have been Cowboys fans and also Astros fans.  Kid you not that I started suddenly seeing some Rangers fans recently, who look suspiciously like the Astros fans. 

And Spurs fans for basketball, because, I mean...you see the pattern.

The great thing about being born and raised in Austin is that you get to be a Cowboys fan or an Oilers fan or a Texans fan or a Rangers fan or an Astros fan or a Rockets fan or a Spurs fan or a Mavericks fan, at your own whim.

That said, I only claim the Cowboys as my NFL team, for better or for worse.  I liked the Oilers with Earl Campbell and I wish the Texans well, but as far as fanship, support, gear?  I've never worn an Oilers or Texans ballcap.

And of course NBA and MLB = rat's ass, so I'd never bother to claim fanship of any of those franchises, regardless of how successful they might or might not be.

Anyway, speaking of the 2023 NFL thread, Cowboys looking okay against those dastardly Giants so far.  I'd like to see that trend continue.

Yeah, but what do you expect. The Giants called me to see if I could play QB this weekend, but I said I had a golf game scheduled. So they got Danny DeVito.

All joking aside, the Giants don't look like an NFL team.  They look like a college team forced to play against an NFL team.  

I don't recall seeing a team this outclassed, and I've seen a lot of Saints games in my life.

Would the Chargers/Lions be described as "Twelving"?

Agree.  They were outgained 640-172.  That’s unheard of in the NFL.   I had the game on piddling around the house all afternoon.  The Giants actually made the final numbers a little more respectable when Dallas pulled its starters in the 4th, but most of the game that looked like something Nebraska would have done to Northern Illinois in 1983.

Yes.

The Chargers had five consecutive TD drives to end the game, with nearly 400 total yards, on ~60 plays, and lost

Good Lord, that was an out my ass example but the final numbers  are startling similar to that Giants game today.
