Cowboys 13, Jets 19
Yet another chapter has been added to the trend in the NFL- in the lead paragraph, we call it a Thriller, with a fantastic come-from behind finish!!
In the next paragraph, we admit it was "a sloppy game" with missed extra points, dropped balls, dubious play-calling, snore-inducing quarterback play, and more third downs than you can not convert.
Then, we talk about the parade of back-up QBs that are getting passed off as starters!
But, in the end, the Cows, despite really risking a win by benching an 'ineffective' (oh please) Matt Cassel (Kellen Moore sighting!), lasso the loss and lay it on the league- 4-10 and completely alone at the top of the Doormat NFC standings...at least until later today. Let's see if the Lions and Niners respond. The Niners are at home, where they tend to play as if they prefer to win, and the Bungles don't have Andy Dalton so...Whiners are in trouble. The Lions are in New Orleans on Monday, and that should be a limited defense game, with about 7 or 8 TDs. Lions should get the loss, but the Saints are completely unpredictable.
Matt Cassel was off to a sterling start with a 13.00 rating when Moore was brought in. Moore just smoked Cassel, throwing 3 interceptions (to Matt's measly 1) but did tilt the scales slightly with a TD pass, finishing up with a real wow of a 52.2 rating. Look for Moore to finish out the season for the Moo-Men.
Here's something new: the Jets/ Nyets are going to have a winning record for the first time since 2010. Them Jets were getting pretty comfy in the Basement, although only once really threatening to win the Moldy Carpet- last year, when they finished 4-12. Two of those other non-winning seasons were 8-8 Parity Division championships, so, honestly, I'm not giving them the Adios-Bro-Cha-Cho, because they haven't earned it.
It would be an insult to the Bills or Browns to do so.
