Bad news: the rest of the team is looking JV...

Im sad Derek Carr ended up on the Raiders :(

David could be looking at the Hall of Fame if he had been drafted to a good team.
 
I'm just glad panthers won, it was going to be close, but I'm pretty happy with the skill of our backup QB. Anderson is better than some starting QBs (sorry Romo) and if Cam Newton was to face a major injury, the panthers still have a playoff team this year.

Plenty of wrinkles to iron out still, seemed that the defense gave in to early victory celebration and it almost cost the game after shutting out the Bucs for the first 3 quarters...

And we are in trouble when it comes time to play the Saints and Falcons... Matt Ryan and his team looked perfect

Go Denver! Been a fan since I was kid (because I lived in Colorado). Craig Morton. Orange Crush. Lyle Alzado. Floyd Little. Some dude named Elway.

Didn't look like any Cowboys fans even bothered to show up.

Jerry Jones said he didn't notice because he was calling plays or something.

ARLINGTON, Texas -- A significant percentage of the 91,174 fans who filled AT&T Stadium on Sunday afternoon wore red and cheered for the San Francisco 49ers, but Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones claimed not to notice the home-field disadvantage.

"Listen, I'm interested in the football game and what went on with the game," Jones said after the Cowboys' 28-17 loss to the 49ers. "It's not good when you don't win -- from any perspective, marketing or otherwise. I had my eye on those turnovers and interest on those turnovers. I'm not even sure I know what you are talking about, to tell you the truth. OK?"

Jones bristled when asked about 49ers fans making up almost half the crowd. He responded by asking if the inquiring reporter counted the fans.

"B.S.," Jones said when told it looked like the crowd was pretty evenly split between Cowboys and 49ers fans. "I know you didn't count them. Anyway, nothing went through my mind. I was looking at the game."

According to StubHub, the 49ers-Cowboys season opener is the highest-selling game of the 2014 season on the secondary market. The third highest-selling game is the Houston Texans' Oct. 5 trip to AT&T Stadium, the Cowboys' $1.2 billion stadium.

Well, the Chief's season is done with Derrick Johnson out for the year. They have a brutal schedule and would've struggled to win games even with him in the line up.

I'm just hoping something happens to Jamaal Charles so Knile Davis can become seriously valuable for my fantasy team;)

PETITION: Roger Goodell should suspect Charles:p

LOL, I can actually see how Jerry would honestly believe all of that in his own head.

Apparently he saw the pictures though because he now has a bunch of reasons for why his stadium was filled with 49er fans... like kids wearing a 49er jersey to rebel against their fathers. :rolleyes:

OK, so the notion that San Francisco 49ers fans filling almost half of AT&T Stadium on Sunday isn't "B.S." after all, as Jerry Jones said while dismissing the subject in the wake of the Dallas Cowboys' season-opening loss.

After a couple of days to ponder the issue, Jones launched into a four-minute filibuster Tuesday when asked about it on 105.3 The Fan, sharing theories that ranged from the affluence of 49ers fans to the attractiveness of his $1.2 billion stadium to children rebelling against their fathers.

"I just didn’t dwell on it because I knew I could think about that later in the week," Jones said. "I can think about that today, but the game, I wanted my mind on the action that’s on the field and on the game.

"But there’s several things to point out. You know, we’re so used to seeing that blue color when we travel away. We see it all the time and there’s a lot of it. Some places we go -- in Arizona -- it feels like a home game, so we know that the kind of interest that let’s say a team maybe like a San Francisco -- not maybe, like San Francisco has. Several dynamics go in here. They have affluence. They can travel."

"Our stadium is very attractive. It’s attractive as far as people picking a game that they might want to come to Dallas to be with their team if they can afford the trip. We think that happens. It happened with Pittsburgh last time we played Pittsburgh. We won that game, but still, it happens like that. You do get a good following.

"The other thing that happened is that our tickets, that’s highest premium that we’ve had since we opened the stadium for a football game, was the premium on this ticket. We had 91,000 people there and a $90 ticket was going for $300, for example. So you do have, because we might have fans who would take the premium, watch the game on TV, it’d be a good way for them to average out on the year for their overall price of watching the Cowboys. I do see how it happened. The secondary market is so sophisticated today. You can just about manage in and out of that secondary market with your tickets as well as you can getting them through the mail.

"So all of that came into play and resulted in a great turnout. The other thing is that you have a factor. San Francisco has a lot of fans here, a lot of people from California have moved to Texas and moved to north Texas because of economic opportunity.

"And then you have what we’ve always known in the NFL. You’ll see a father and a son and you’ll see a son be a fan of the team that’s a rival to team of the father. That’s throughout the NFL. Happens all the time. We see it in New York. That’s why we see Cowboys fans up there against the Giants. So you’d have a lot of with San Francisco because of our great rivalries of the '90s, you’d have a lot of families that normally might have a Cowboys jersey on, but that boy or girl put a San Francisco jersey on."
