For Thurday Night Football Amazon Prime has a few alternate audio feeds. Spanish. UK guys (one sounded Irish actually). And two chicks, Hannah Storm and Andrea Kremer. It’s fun listening to the limeyes. I couldn’t get into the chicks.

I’m am Ravens fan too. And a Chargers fan from way back. But I just can’t see the Black Birds beating the Bolts twice in a row. Unless Rivers has a bad game and Jackson and Edwards run wild.

RE: I couldn’t get into the chicks. Never knew you swung that way 😬

[Impy]

I left myself open for that one. 😖

[campaignPete R-CT]

Yes. That place used to be known as Los Angeles

Cowboys should have snapped that faster, they might lose this challenge.

[SunkenCiv]

And he's not the only piece of street trash in the NFL.

[advertising guy]

How bout them Cowboys

[Jim W N]

If Seattle loses, here’s the key to Seattle’s Loss IMO: Seattle held back their passing game and instead ran the ball too much.

Here’s the match-up when Seattle has the ball:

Seattle Offense: ....# 6 in scoring, 6th in pass ydg, ..........5th in run ydg
Cowboy Defense: # 6 in scoring, 13th against pass ydg, 4th against run ydg

It is obvious from the stats above that Seattle will do better PASSING against the Cowboys.

I wonder who Seattle’s offensive coordinator is. I’m not too impressed.

Seahawks OC is Brian Schottenheimer, Marty’s son.

Terrible onside kick attempt, Cowboys win!

Seahawks OC is Brian Schottenheimer, Marty’s son.

He was Danny Wuerffel's backup at UF.

[Night Hides Not]

Time to face the facts: Jason Garrett will remain the Cowboys HC ad infinitum.

Was Janikowski's hamstring so bad he couldn't kick an onside kick?

[Jim W N]

I mean I could tap a ball off the tee for a ten-yard bounce.

Seattle’s looking kind of stupid and since Donahue has been there they’ve never seemed stupid to me.

[dfwgator]

Did I say it would be a coming out party for Deshaun Watson?!

A bad omen for Clemson?

[dfwgator]

Yep, Garrett is the master at doing just enough to keep his job.

And it looks like Dak will be in Dallas for awhile.

[Jim W N]

Seahawks OC is Brian Schottenheimer

Seattle is almost always a contender, but from what I've seen they'e not going to become a champion this way - not playing into their strength - and that would seem to fall on the OC.

From what I saw here, it looks to me like the OC failed very badly with the wrong offensive game plan for Seattle.

[Night Hides Not]

That win just wiped out 40% of the topics of DFW sports talk radio. Next week will be predictable: the Boys are back, though their next game will be on the road against the Saints or Rams.

Winner of ravens chargers goes to New England...

Should bea great game, and the winner will be SBC...

Good luck to your chargers.

[Teacher317]

Why is everyone picking the Colts? Is there something I am missing here? It’s still Andrew Luck-less right?

How's the working for ya, champ? 10-1 since mid OCT, and exactly 2 plays away from enjoying a bye and making New England play this weekend. #1 in 3rd down conversions, #2 in TD passes, #1 in fewest sacks allowed... and currently undefeated in the 2018 playoffs. Go horse!
