Cowboys WR Michael Gallup suffered a calf strain in Thursday's loss to the Buccaneers, source said. He is expected to miss three to five weeks.

#Cowboys C Tyler Biadasz was the team's worst-graded offensive player in Week 1, according to @PFF.

He allowed 7 pressures and five hurries on top of 2 QB hits.

So smelly bad ass

Jerry Jones tells @1053thefan that Greg Zuerlein will still be their guy moving forward.

Him as the #Cowboys Kicker before last night:
Kicks inside 40-yards: 19-19
Kicks inside 50-yards: 31-32

No one is 100% automatic, but he's been about as close as anyone...until Thursday😬

.@dallascowboys @MicahhParsons11 is already the #Cowboys best defensive player. They can’t afford to take him off the field. And only going to get better. Qk eyes; quicker feet and hands. #BaldysBreakdowns pic.twitter.com/eciYfGDKWN

Gallup out 3-5 weeks and Collins out 5.

Though BTB is saying that ruling might not yet be finalized.

Has the league ever not initiated a suspension for someone who missed multiple tests?

Genuinely asking

The La'el Collins suspension is not final and should have been disclosed or reported. But, as usual, the NFL's confidentiality policy is breached -- by among others the NFL's in-house media operation.

1. Why in the hell is it Jarwin instead of Schultz
2. Why is Jarwin blocking with inside technique...you got to get on his outside shoulder
3. Even with all of that how is it that Zeke could get the corner anyway or push his way into the end zone

Lots of fail here for sure.

Wasnt he about to miss some games with knee issues or something?

Collins can appeal the decision and seek either an overturn or a reduction, but that will be in the hands or an arbitrator, who has already ruled in favor of the league but there is an additional appeals right Collins possesses per the collective bargaining agreement that sources say he intends to pursue. In other words, it's not yet final, so put a pin in it for the moment, and the Cowboys having a mini-bye week before taking on the Chargers gives added days to sort it all out.

The league alleges Collins missed mandatory drug screenings, versus actually testing negative for an illegal substance. Details are still coming in on the matter, including why it's five games instead of four or six, muddying the accusations that much more.

Until the matter is resolved, it'll be backup swing tackles Ty Nsekhe and Terence Steele carrying the water at right tackle, and that's a sizable drop off from what Collins does at the position. Nsekhe was brought in on a one-year deal in free agency ahead of the 2021 NFL Draft, and Steele is a former undrafted free agent who struggled mightily as a rookie in 2020

Remember that Nsheke has been having knee problems since leaving games twice in August

I just posted this on Facebook.

Days after it was announced the Big 12 was pursuing BYU, Central Florida, Cincinnati and Houston as replacements for Texas and Oklahoma (both headed to the SEC), the conference approved all four as new members in a vote held Friday. BYU, an FBS independent, announced it will make its Big 12 debut during the 2023-24 sports season. The trio of Cincinnati, Houston and UCF are required to give the American Athletic Conference 27 months' notice before joining the Big 12, though it's possible they arrive sooner by paying higher exit fees, as UConn did when they defected to the Big East in 2020. The Big 12 could have as many as 16 members if BYU, Cincinnati, Houston and UCF all join before Texas and Oklahoma leave in 2025.

Should be a fantastic BBall league. Baylor men are the defending NCAA National Champion. Houston was #3, West Virginia was 18, Okie Lite was 19, Tech was 22. Kansas is a perennial power but was down this past season. The folks who project these things show Gonzaga at the top again in 2022 despite losing three starters (We all saw how overrated they were last year). Then its Texas and Kansas at 2 & 3, Baylor at 7 and Houston at 10. Okie State brings up the end of the projected Top 25 comes in at 23. Baylor keeps mop top Matthew Myer and picks up point guard James Akinjo, who averaged more than 15 points and five assists per game last season at Arizona. Add in an elite recruiting class that features five-star forward Kendall Brown and highly regarded combo guard Langston Love.

Baylor women have several Nat Championships recently. Ranked #5 this past year. The rest of the league was down a bit but West Virginia was #24. Expect that to change with this new basketball league.
Also Cincy, UCFlorida and BYU have been top 10 football programs quite a bit in the last decade. BYU QB Zach Wilson was the 2nd overall pick to the Jets this past draft. Payton Turner from Houston was also a 1st rounder. Teven Jenkins from Houston was a 2nd rounder as was Richie Grant from UCF and Trevon Moehrig from TCU. As far as rankings Cincy was 7th, Iowa St 9th. Baylor has a hot young coach that is turning things around.

I dont think Okie and UT really thought this through very well IMO other than money. They are gonna be 2nd place to Alabama at best in football. SEC will continue to be on hell of a Football league with Okie added. They will probably never win a BBall championship with Kentucky, Arkansas, Tennessee, Alabama and Florida there.

btw - gonna be fun to see what drew does with "better" big men

Thursday night's 31-29 victory by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers over the Dallas Cowboys averaged approximately 26 million viewers on NBC, Peacock and the NFL's digital platforms according to preliminary data from Nielsen and Adobe Analytics.

It is a 20% increase over last year's game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Houston Texas and the largest audience for an NFL opener since the Pittsburgh Steelers-New England Patriots game in 2015 averaged 27.4 million.

The average of 24.4 million viewers on NBC makes it television's most-watched show since February's Super Bowl on CBS. The audience peaked at 25.4 million between 9:45-10 p.m. ET.

Cincinnati 35 Murray St7 in 4th quarter 10:50 left in game.

Eagles suk

Eagles still suk

Hurtz really pulls the ball down

Falcons suk worse than the Eagles suk

Carolina beat the Zach Wilson Jets? Holy Matt!!!!

Eagles will slip into 1st, Hurtz has this bad habit of pulling the ball down toward the ground. Defensive coordinators are gonna pick up on that. 434 yds of offense vs a pretty bad Falcon team, 261 passing vs 173 rushing. deVonta Smith looks like the real thing. 27 receptions amongst 7 receivers. Philly DLine still the strongest part of team but starting to get old and hurt. Not that impressed overall. We should beat Philly twice if we stay healthy.

Washington brownbags lost to Chargers 20-16. We play the Chargers next week. Herbert had 337 passing. Only 90 yds passing, we should be able to go with ears laid back.
