The difference between Brady and someone like Harrison is that Harrison needs to be physically strong for his position (size, speed, explosive). Brady needs to be healthy and fit. Two completely different situations

Look at other QBs who have played into their 40s recently. I know Farve never missed a game but his body was clearly in pain. We all know what happened with Peyton, and the rest kinda sucked so we really haven't seen this before

You don't know Dak! If we can shut down Zeke I think this will be a walk in the park. I am still rolling with a Packers/Seahawks showdown.

Good clean hit? Since when can you lead with the crown of the helmet?

Hey, I am all for the hard hits, part of the game, but keep this shit legal... Leading with the crown on the helmet is ILLEGAL. Even Pereira says it was!

Quoting an ex ref doesnt help your case. When Mike Carey worked with CBS he got like half of the calls wrong

Pereira has been spot on when it comes to his on the field assessment of a play. If the play was iffy he says iffy. Good non call is a good non call. Mike also will say the ref should of called that.

No you missed my point. Manning had that neck surgery that killed his throwing power and Favre had issues with pain management and drug use etc that shortened his career thus making him ineffective. Brady and Harrison don't have fountains of youth or something NOBODY knows that continue their longevity. All I'm saying is all the trainers, dietitians, chefs, etc don't have magical Kryptonite or whatever lying around. They all know the same thing. Brady has wisely taken advantage and dedicated himself to maintain his longevity. On top of that because he's so damn good (million reasons for that), he hasn't and in the foreseeable future not get benched/cut. I don't think what Brady is doing to maintain longevity is light years ahead of anybody else.

FYI Harrison needs to be healthy too or he can't play and fit so that he doesn't get tired. I think you meant to say that their weight training regimen and diet don't need to be the same.

We're both misinterpreting each other. I agree with you on the treatment not being some voodoo alien shit. The comparison between Brady/Harrison is silly to begin with and even harder to explain without writing a full blown essay. Next subject haha

It sounded for a minute there that he might play with extra pads around his ribs but even that seemed far fetched.

Anybody I have known that has had rib injuries will tell you it is super painful.

Most say it hurts to breathe! Glad he won't risk it. We did well without him, but could definitely use the threat on the field... I don't think we will need him though.

Hard to say. They have receivers that can get the job done and Montgomery catching a ball as a slot receiver last week was good to see.

Mainly saying that based off the last game. He wasn't a factor in the first quarter and a half and we exploded after he was out. Honestly I haven't watched many Dallas games, but the ones I have seen leads me to think we need to shut down Zeke and we will be fine.

Shutting him down..., will let loose Bryant, Beasly and Witten...because it's going to take more than just the down linemen to shut down Elliot.

Every team the Cowboys have faced this year has said the same thing. The fewest yards Zeke has gained in a game is 85...I think. The Packers will score points against the Dallas D. But I think the Cowboys will limit GBs time of possession and offensive chances, allowing Dallas to score more against the Packer D.

Don't forget Terrance Williams. The Dallas O line will take care of the Packers D line. They will have to commit a line backer, which opens up the middle, or a safety, which forces one on one down field, to help out.

I thought the hit on Jordy was good football. I can't wait for these games though, this should be awesome.

I think the Falcons, cowboys, pats and I'm still very uncertain on the chiefs steelers game.

Outside of the Pats I honestly can't make a confident pick for any of these game. I wouldn't be surprised by any of the outcomes

Well crap. Too many injuries, too many mistakes, O-line still inconsistent. But good win for the Falcons. Nice job.

That Houston D looked good. Game wasn't really as far apart as the score shows. Osweiler is trash.

Houston D did look good but again like the Baltimore game earlier this year, Houston only scored because of stupid turnovers deep in Patriots territory. They were never a threat offensively
