What's going on JD? Ready for some more NFL tawk?
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:01 AM
My goodness...what a crazy week...
JT
Jack Terry · 1:02 AM
Ain't that the truth. Obviously I know we will tawk about the Cowboys surprising season and the big win your Chiefs had, but I think we should start with a team we were both starting to champion: what the hell happened with the Browns?
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:03 AM
Hoyer the Destroyer got the kiss of Cleveland...he sucked
JT
Jack Terry · 1:03 AM
To the Jags no less!
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:04 AM
I still have faith...I think Bryan Hoyer is a quality if not franchise quality QB...he had a bad day
JT
Jack Terry · 1:04 AM
Bad day was when they were losing 10-6. B ut to give up 24 points to the Jags? That's not all the offense's fault.
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:05 AM
exactly...but the D held their own for the most part
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:05 AM
Okay the score doesn't reflect that but they did terrorize a bit
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:06 AM
Crowell was non existent....
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:06 AM
Although the running game was just about all Cleveland had...
JT
Jack Terry · 1:07 AM
I'm glad you said that about the score! Time is starting to slip away and they need to get a couple of W's back on their board.
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:07 AM
I believe they will...their schedule is pretty light...Oakland next...should be a win
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:07 AM
but then Jax should hvae been a win
JT
Jack Terry · 1:08 AM
I don't know. They set a pretty good example this week of letting winless teams finally get a victory!
JT
Jack Terry · 1:08 AM
Speaking of running game, didn't Jamal Charles set some sort of franchise record this weekend?
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:08 AM
You know I'm not sure...
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:09 AM
I did hear something but zI thought it was Manning stuff
JT
Jack Terry · 1:09 AM
I thought I saw something about most yards from scrimmage or something like that.
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:09 AM
not a surprise...great RB
JT
Jack Terry · 1:09 AM
Yeah Manning's record shattering performance pretty much overshadowed everything else.
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:09 AM
OUr win was sweet speaking of Charles...and KC
JT
Jack Terry · 1:09 AM
Very sweet, and doubly huge coming against a divisional opponent. Just the type of win you need.
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:10 AM
yes, and SD will lose again this week, as will Oakland(likely)...
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:10 AM
Hopes for wildcard springs to life!!
JT
Jack Terry · 1:11 AM
Okay, let me ask you this: Do you want San Diego lose, because that means the Broncos put that much more space between them and everyone else.
JT
Jack Terry · 1:11 AM
And three weeks ago I would have said the win was a lock against the Rams, but now I'm not so sure.
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:11 AM
Pretty much...we've already lost to them...let them top it out...they will anyway...
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:12 AM
The governors bowl is always fun...RAms chiefs...
JT
Jack Terry · 1:13 AM
Oh....that's cute! (Took me a minute to figure that out. Because, you know, with a name like Kansas City, you'd probably think they were from Kansas and not Missouri...)
JT
Jack Terry · 1:13 AM
And I've watched that Rams punt with the misdirection at least a dozen times, and I'm still not sure how it worked so well.
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:13 AM
There are actually two KC's...KS and MO
JT
Jack Terry · 1:14 AM
And now you see why our east coasters are confused by your flyover states!
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:14 AM
Well, I wasn't flying over...grew up in the heartland...
JT
Jack Terry · 1:15 AM
Ha ha ha! Speaking of teams from the middle part of the country, it looks like the NFC North is shaking out to the haves (Green Bay and Detroit) and the have nots (Minnesota and Chicago.)
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:15 AM
Lovin' KC sports right now...
JT
Jack Terry · 1:15 AM
Do you have time for this or are you glued to the tv watching your Royals?
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:16 AM
MN is history...no anything happening in that organization
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:16 AM
I have Royals on the tablet and you on my desktop
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:16 AM
No TV in my office
JT
Jack Terry · 1:16 AM
Multi-tasker. I like it!
JT
Jack Terry · 1:16 AM
Yeah, maybe the Teddy Bridgewater era starts in earnest next year.
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:17 AM
I'm also cooking dinner if you want to know the truth
JT
Jack Terry · 1:17 AM
Wow! I thought I wa sspecial listening to music while I was typing!
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:17 AM
Oh Bridgewater needs another year or more before he's truly ready for the NFL
JT
Jack Terry · 1:17 AM
see? So special I can't even put the spaces in the right places.
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:18 AM
OKay so let's talk about the Redskins...what is up??
JT
Jack Terry · 1:18 AM
And it looks like there might be a new QB controversy brewing in the nation's capital these days.
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:18 AM
Cousins sucks ass...
JT
Jack Terry · 1:18 AM
Get out of my head!
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:18 AM
Here comes Colt McCoy to the rescue....what??????
JT
Jack Terry · 1:18 AM
Colt McCoy comes in and leads them to victory, but that's not even the half of it.
JT
Jack Terry · 1:18 AM
RGIII has been practicing and rumors say he might play Monday night against the Cowboys.
JT
Jack Terry · 1:19 AM
Gruden said he wasn't going to pull Cousins, but when you're leading the league in INTs it's time to go.
JT
Jack Terry · 1:19 AM
Keep in mind too that the win was over the Titans and only by 2 points, so it's not exactly like it's that big a deal.
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:20 AM
I"ve liked Colt since his TX days...Okay I've hated Colt since his TX days but I respect his talent
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:21 AM
Boomer Sooners..
JT
Jack Terry · 1:21 AM
the last few weeks I've been marginally impressed with Cousins, especially when I realized he came in the same draft class as Luck, Wilson and RGIII, but that charm has worn off.
JT
Jack Terry · 1:21 AM
I was going to say I didn't think you could even say the word Texas, much less like anyone from there!
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:22 AM
I use the abbreviation
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:22 AM
And I said "respect"
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:22 AM
Not "like" lol
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:22 AM
Poop...ground out w/bases loaded...
JT
Jack Terry · 1:23 AM
Technicalities!
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:23 AM
Oh I'm a picky bitch
JT
Jack Terry · 1:23 AM
So I've waited over 20 minutes: HOW BOUT THEM COWBOYS?!?!
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:23 AM
so let's talk about Dallas...since you're making me thing of TX anyway...what the F is up with the Boys?
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:24 AM
I HATE that they are leading the entire NFL...
JT
Jack Terry · 1:24 AM
Hey if Dez Bryant doesn't slip down on that interception, that game is easily 38-14. They are simply doing everything right, for the first time in a generation.
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:24 AM
NOT just NFC...bitches...
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:25 AM
You know Romo is stinking like a rose right now...
JT
Jack Terry · 1:25 AM
The whole shooting match. NFL.com has them ranked #2 in their power rankings, right behind the Broncos.
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:25 AM
shut your face..I know
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:26 AM
Would that be a classic showdown or what??? Dallas and Denver in the big oneZ?
JT
Jack Terry · 1:26 AM
His numbers are solid, between 250-300 yards, a few TD's, one pick, and at least once per game his patented 360 spin move that keeps the play going.
JT
Jack Terry · 1:26 AM
A rematch for the ages, and a much closer game than the last time they played in the Super Bowl.
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:27 AM
I'm liking the turn this season has taken, Jack...
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:28 AM
Three are some teams that haven't enjoyed winning for some time...winning
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:28 AM
Changing of the guard , if you will...
JT
Jack Terry · 1:29 AM
It's really exciting (for most teams anyway) I really don't think that, except for a few extreme cases that any team is completely out it, between the wild cards and teh way the schedule stacks up for the second half.
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:29 AM
You bet, man ...the latter half of this season is going to be insane!
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:30 AM
We're all thinking the Bengals are hot then the colts shut them down...
JT
Jack Terry · 1:30 AM
Something that will get a lot of press as the season goes on is a sub .500 team making the plaoffs. Right now the best team in the NFC South is Carolina at 3-3-1.
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:30 AM
Ravens run ove Atlanta like a pancake...
JT
Jack Terry · 1:30 AM
I can't believe that. The Colts are good, don't get me wrong, but Cincy just looked like they forgot what they were doing.
JT
Jack Terry · 1:31 AM
Atlanta is 2-5. They're a mess!
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:31 AM
They weren't even there...I noticed that too...replacements?
JT
Jack Terry · 1:31 AM
Maybe they got their bye week wrong on their schedule.
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:31 AM
Matt Ryan is a good QB too...not sure why ATL lost their edge....
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:31 AM
Gonzalez?
JT
Jack Terry · 1:32 AM
I don't know what's fallen apart there. Maybe Gonzalez finally aged all at once.
JT
Jack Terry · 1:32 AM
Them and New Orleans are the two teams that have surprised me the most, in a bad way, this season.
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:34 AM
NO is just sad...I love Brees but he's fallen down pretty bad
JT
Jack Terry · 1:35 AM
Like you said, it's the changing of the guard. The dynasties are drying up. Interesting to see who replaces them.
JT
Jack Terry · 1:35 AM
New England looked like they were back on track before almost losing to the Jets.
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:38 AM
I think the RAms,. really are quite impressive....
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:38 AM
they are playing on guts and blood now...
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:39 AM
and were able to hold off the champs
JT
Jack Terry · 1:39 AM
Yeah, I mean they're only a bad play here and a penalty there away from being right at the top of their division.
JT
Jack Terry · 1:39 AM
I love, Love, LOVE that Seattle lost two weeks in a row. Pete Carroll is a tool!
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:40 AM
I agree..haven't like him since his BCS days...
JT
Jack Terry · 1:41 AM
So you have dinner to eat and a Royals game to watch. let's get some picks and get you out of here. What's your game of the week?
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:41 AM
LOve Russell Wilson though..
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:41 AM
Plan
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:41 AM
I say Denver shows SC how footballs games are won
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:41 AM
SD
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:41 AM
Falcons and Lion is London..who cares?
JT
Jack Terry · 1:42 AM
Should be good. I'm looking at Colts/Steelers as a great game, and Eagles/Cardinals should be a tremendous matchup.
JT
Jack Terry · 1:42 AM
And at 9:30 in the morning? Let me tell you something. If I'm watching NFL that early in the day it's because I'm back at the oceanside bar in Venice beach, CA.
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:42 AM
KC Rams will be a game to watch after the STL win
JT
Jack Terry · 1:43 AM
That should definitely be a good game. Both teams are coming off big wins, and both need a big win.
JT
Jack Terry · 1:43 AM
Totally selfishly of course, MNF with the Cowboys/Washington. The best thing about that is it means I get to extend my birthday celebration an extra day.
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:43 AM
Browns Raiders....hmmm?
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:44 AM
both must make a showing or disappear
JT
Jack Terry · 1:44 AM
Browns better win by three touchdowns, and I'm not just saying that because I like to make fun of the Raiders.
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:44 AM
Birthday??? Have a happy one Cowboy's fan
JT
Jack Terry · 1:44 AM
If the Browns lose, they're done. I don't think emotionally they come back from that.
JT
Jack Terry · 1:45 AM
Thanks, I plan on it. I'll be older next time with tawk. Older, but no wiser!
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:45 AM
That's what I'm saying....crap SF is up on KC by 5 in the 4th
JT
Jack Terry · 1:45 AM
Go watch your game! Have abgreat dinner and a great week. I'll tawk to you next week!
JA
Jennifer "JD" Arbuckle · 1:45 AM
right on my friend....another week of NFL is on its way!!@
