Don's Crystal Ball Week 3 Picks

Well, gee -- if only I were 5 inches taller, I'd be 6'8".

Turnovers, missed opportunities and dropped TD passes are all things that make for a bad offense. Like it or not, that's exactly what we have right now. Catch those TDs, take advantage of the opportunities, and stop turning the ball over and we'll have a good offense.

Not arguing that point, but don't understand why everyone is calling for Zorn's head.

•Miami has screwed me over twice,

•It looks like I pissed somebody off because luck it’s not going my way with my overall predictions.


Miami did not screw you over, you chose wrong.

No one has brought you bad luck. You simply chose wrong.

Why do you so ludicrously blame other people for the fact that you, repeatedly, are mistaken?

Plato said that true wisdom is knowing how much we do not know. In Plato's terms, you are quite unwise.

It's a Cowboy "Thang" Lotus.

Catch those TDs, take advantage of the opportunities, and stop turning the ball over and we'll have a good offense.That's the big one. That's the difference between us having a below average offense and an above average offense that leans conservative.

Missed opportunities and dropped TD passes happen to everyone (at different rates of course). Fumbles are just killing us. We've actually gotten lucky to have recovered as many as we have.

The Cowboys, as a team, have zero sacks.

C'mon the Miami point was made that I wouldn't picked them again because they've lost twice when I picked them. The bad luck thing is meant to be funny you're nitpicking here.

And it's Ironic you're saying that I don't accept the reality that I made my mistakes but almost everyone here is delusional about their own team and how they're playing.

Now every week there are bad calls like Jacksonville over Arizona I did last week and bad luck ( It happens in the NFL, every sport and life Dummy) Like Cin losing to Denver on a desperation weird play in the last seconds. Get Real.

So if a Pick in Basketball Cleveland over Chicago and they are winning by 2 in the final seconds and a guy from Chicago throws the ball from his own court and nails the 3 pointer to win the game at the buzzer. You're saying I lost because I made the bad pick it wasn't bad luck... if you really believe that luck has nothing to do with sports than I'm unwise in the eyes of Plato, But you sir are just unwise

hu-huh-hu...he likez d'boys.

GTripp really read the Columns first man I'm the first one to critic the Cowboys not only they're lack of getting Sacks and Turnovers but their mentality in not stopping NY in the final drive. Please

I'm the first to say things are not ok with my team and if we were going against a team that has shown something I wouldn't pick them to win.

You critic me about Ware but You're the one still defending Orakpo playing LB how's that going for you 2 games 2 tackles and you said he was going to put pressure on 3rd down and get sacks.

All picking games really comes down to is probabilities. You take all the information you can get, toss out what you deem to be valueless, and then you make the best pick.

Anyone here can do that. Where you have to make your money is by finding games where there's a blowout waiting to happen, but vegas necessarily doesn't see it that way. Calling a game to be "close" is basically saying that you could have gone either way (whether straight or the spread), but you hope to be lucky. Speaking in absolutes (and take this from me) just makes you look like an ass.

I happen to be a quite horrible game picker, btw. I don't bill myself as someone who can pick 12 games right per week though.

Orakpo has no 20 sack seasons, obviously. It's an imperfect comparison, so I guess I'm not shocked you would throw it out there.

I'm the first to say things are not ok with my team and if we were going against a team that has shown something I wouldn't pick them to win.Well, Washington is going against a team that hasn't shown one thing...

Please. Your no expert, you're a fan. Don't confuse the two.
