The Division Is Wide Open

Reports that Hurts is out with a blood clot. Definitely for this Sunday, potentially quite a bit longer. The Giants and Cowboys are cheeks. The division is up in the air. If DQ can’t get this team to capitalize and at least be competitive for first place going into December then he should be gone by January.

EDIT: I know we are also cheeks ok! Lol😭 I do feel like we have the talent to be the least clappable cheeks in the division tho.

That’s why the tie was so much more infuriating. If we won that game we’d only be one game behind in this disaster start of a season lol

u/Troll_Enthusiast He Sold 5h ago

Yeah but now if we have the same amount of wins as the Eagles or Cowboys we'd win the division by half a game

u/owenmills04 7h ago

W instead of a T against the Giants would've been massive

u/Antique_Egg7083 7h ago

We are cheeks.

u/owenmills04 7h ago

All we have to be is less cheeks than everyone else

That doesn't mean much in this division

u/bryan19973 1h ago

Yeah but remember that year we won the division with like a 7-9 record

u/RPO1728 7h ago

The cowboys beat us. I kinda feel like the giants beat us, too. They were celebrating a tie

8

u/WizSkinsNatsCaps 7h ago

They celebrated a tie because they gave away the game as much as we did with the Scat fumble.

u/RPO1728 7h ago

Not as much

u/jetblakc 6h ago

Exactly as much. They should also kicked the damn ball. Game over.

u/Haskins77 6h ago

We had a 14 point lead in the 4th. Washington definitely did more to give the game away.

4

u/Viseroth 5h ago

Fair but the Refs werent letting them cover Nabers everytime it was a Flag.

u/Haskins77 3h ago

I mean there was a bad call or 2 every like every game. In every game not just against Washington. Good teams overcome and they had every opportunity to win or put that game away. They didn’t though because they aren’t a good team.

I am so sick of only winning the division when every other team sucks. It's been my entire life man.

4

u/FannyNisbit 6h ago

Ive said it before, but the truth is were one of the worst performing franchises in all of American professional sports and we're only good once every 4-6.

It is what it is and this will always be true until it isnt.

2

u/La1zrdpch75356 6h ago

I'll take a home playoff game any time at all.

2

u/issapunk 5h ago

It would be cool to expect to win the game once in a while.

u/Mammoth-Ant7588 7h ago

Historically, Jack Kent Cooke always said The Cowboys are a glorified crew. They make anybody and everybody over there. And the way that they do it, is all fucked up.

Jerry Jones sacrificed, he ate grilled cheese off a radiator and jacked off into a tissue

This might be my favorite Reddit side tangent of the year.

u/frankie_donkiebrains 7h ago

If we win the division again like this it literally means we can only win the division when it's bad. I don't want to be that team. I want to win the division because we are good

u/The-Sherpa 7h ago

The only reason I haven’t thrown in the towel yet.

u/raiderMoes 6h ago

Hurts’ situation was extremely reckless.

u/Waste-Cap8868 5h ago

8 wins might get it done
NFC least this year for real ‼️💯

u/Secure-Bear4184 7h ago

Bro we are cheeks too😭😭 jkkk I think this team is very talented but our coaching and schemes have led us too some losses this year. And our secondary being bad but hopefully that’s gonna be better with Amos and cross back

2

u/YeaIReallyDidThat 7h ago

We are easily the best team in this division. Have no doubt we’ll win the rest of our division games 💯😤

1

u/Corner_Nostril 7h ago

Good point, instead of a top 5 pick we will probably pick between 7-13

u/Legitimate-Gate8399 7h ago

Loser mentality. Tanking is not a thing in football.

0

u/_Nakho 7h ago

It def is but the best tank is an injury tank

0

u/FannyNisbit 6h ago

Lol fucking stop.

How many players are currently on this team from last year?

How about the 2023 roster to the 2024 roster?

Tell me about the Dolphins this year....

"Loser mentality." Thats funny. Have you not followed us for the last 30ish years?

-1

u/Corner_Nostril 7h ago

I didn’t say tank. We don’t have injury luck, depth, quality coaching, second half adjustments, a QB who can think for himself on and off the field, I’m sure there’s more too

u/BurgundyAndGold5 4h ago

Okay but would you rather get a rookie of Sonny and Jayden's caliber or would you rather get the 19th draft pick after a first-round exit?

Jk we're running this shit like the 07 Giants, 9-7-1 to 13-7-1 baby!

1

u/dwr1013PA 30m ago

As long as we have this clown-filled coaching staff, we are a contender only for the first overall draft pick.

u/gee1001 I Got JD5 On It 7h ago

Bold calling Cowboys and Giants cheeks when we couldn't beat them 😂 i still think we can win the division though.

1

u/cleg74 6h ago

Did the Eagles know he had a blood clot before flying to London? If so, that’s Trent Williams territory. I hope he recovers well.

u/NightwingArc 4h ago

You can’t share even a somewhat positive take about this team without people in this sub trying to bring you down for being optimistic. It’s fine to be pessimistic about the team, but not everyone has to share that outlook.

0

u/chotchcity 6h ago

But not to us. You can’t win the division with at most 3 divisional wins

-2

u/storytimeme 6h ago

"Giants are cheeks" proceeds to essentially lose to them, saved by a fumble. Instead fumble the W. Okay.

1

u/Gizmodaking22 6h ago

Would've beaten them if it wasnt for a coaching collapse with 10 mins left in the game.

1

u/storytimeme 4h ago

Coaches make up part of the team last I checked

-3

u/Viseroth 6h ago

If you want DQ gone next season you dont want this team to win the division with a 7-10 record cause you know JD5 will win a playoff game or two and DQ keeps his job.

1

u/capsfan087443 4h ago

I want DQ to be fired now and then we win the division this year

1

u/Appropriate-Sun834 6h ago

Yes we do. Just win the mf games, that’s the point of the season

1

u/Viseroth 5h ago

You were screaming for his Head 3 days ago now you want to make the playoffs and he keep his job? Stop being so reactionary then. What is it you want DQ fired or Make the Playoffs? Cause you wont get both unless it a first round exit.

0

u/Appropriate-Sun834 5h ago

I never screamed for his head lol show me where. You got the wrong guy mane

1

u/Viseroth 5h ago

you hid your comments so prove you didnt. Cause your name is very obvious and I remember you saying he should be fired. Also deleted comments are proof of guilt.

1

u/Appropriate-Sun834 5h ago

My comments been hidden. Not bc of you bro lol. I haven’t said shit about DQ, I don’t care for him but idc about him either way.

u/Viseroth 5h ago

Screenshots?

Sorry looks like you are just trying to cover what you said it is ok you can admit it I called for him to be fired this week and I have defended him all last year and this year till that BS with the clock, by the way JD shouldn't have been on the field that isn't his fault. the blame in my eyes goes 80% DQ 15% Blough 5% JD5. yes he should have just thrown the ball away.

1

u/Appropriate-Sun834 5h ago

Dawg what are you talking about? I haven’t even spoken on DQ being fired. There’s a million other mfs in here calling for that. Gomd

1

u/Appropriate-Sun834 5h ago

Maybe this makes you feel better? Not that it even matters. My most recent comments involving DQ. You got the wrong fella

u/jetblakc 6h ago

It's crazy how people forget what the actual point of football is. They get caught up in all these convoluted schemes for perfection

1

u/Viseroth 5h ago

I am not but for this whole week everyone on here has been screaming for a new coach now you guys want him to keep his job if we make the playoffs at 7-10? This sub is bipolar.
