I guess the one thing we can count on is good food in the parking lot

Bad thing is I can go to the best BBQ joint in town and order all the food I can eat for less than the price of parking.

There's a lot to choose from there, what place do you like the best? I've been to Joe's, Gates, and AB's. I've wanted to try Q39 and pretty much every where else LOL!!

Jack Stack is my favorite of the bigger names, and one of my overall favorites.

I worked in downtown KC and lived on the outskirts, so I got to try lots of different places, and I love BBQ so I tried a lot of them. My favorite was the now closed Smoking Babe's, best brisket and cheesy corn anywhere, almost cried when it closed down. I really like Jone's BBQ in KCK, Wyandotte BBQ, both have great burnt ends and Jone's uses big chunks of burnt ends in their beans. RJ's BBQ in Mission is really good. 

My least favorite of them all is Arthur Bryant's. Expensive and didn't like the flavor of the meat or the sauce, and their fries were super greasy.

I'm going to have to try the ones on your list. Thanks for the suggestions, and I agree AB's is my least favorite..

How did GB get the easiest schedule?  Did I read that right?

[Fisher-O-men]

The Chargers will start off good... or bad, then have a GREAT December, then falter, then fail.  You can set your clock by the above info!

Keep in mind Glenn, strength of schedule is kinda like organic vegetables. Looks good at the start but goes rotten real quick.

Chiefs!!

As weak as the West is this year, they'll probably make playoffs, but I don't see them going too much further.

I find it funny how cowboys fans are all over prescott this preseason, and he has looked good, but many of those same fans were laughing at the hype Bradford was getting in last year's preseason where he was even better.  

I have no clue what the eagles are gonna do except their defense.  their defense is going to be real good.

Big difference though, Bradford was a #1 pick and in his 5th season in the NFL.   Dak is a rookie 4th round pick and the 8th qb taken in the draft.   Bradford is supposed to be good in the preseason, Prescott, not so much.

All that said, it's nice that he isn't shell shocked in the preseason but that doesn't mean much.  I just hope we don't have to see him in a real game for a couple of seasons.

[flyfisher]

If he is the backup and not a third stringer, you will see him this season either because Romo is hurt or because they aren't performing and the fan base will pressure Jones to make the move.

[Jrob78]

I'm afraid you're right.  More because Romo will get hurt than anything else.

[Jd_Phillips_Fishin]

We're 3 plays into the game, and Romo is already hurt...  What else is new

[Jrob78]

I'm starting to think Romo's career may be over.  He stays 1 hit away from disaster.  

Elliot looked great and Morris has looked great all preseason.  If DMF can get 1400 yds in 10 or 11 games last year, these two are going to be hard to stop.

[iabass8]

 I wouldn't overreact about the Romo back injury too much. Granted he does get hurt but in his defense that guy really came down on top of him in an awkward manner. I'm sure he'll be fine and I think he'll play 12 .  DAk looked really good against Seattle's first string defense and Elliot looks like the real deal. My goodness he's going to be a stud. As long as dez stays healthy DAL  Will be fine if Romo misses a few games

[Gundog]

" I'm sure he'll be fine and I think he'll play 12"  12 what??? Minutes maybe but games...nope!

 Since becoming a starter in 2005, Romo has played 13+ games in every season except 2. (2010,2015)  and has played in 15 to 16 games and most of those years. Could he get hurt, sure.  Anybody can get hurt from getting hit in the NFL.

This is also the first time he is 36 yrs old and playing football. Football is a game for young men. Not everyone is Tom Brady or has his front line to protect him. I don't see Romo making the full season. Back surgery, age, a bad front line and so many other things are building up to a end. I'm a Steelers fan and have no love for Dallas but I know Ben Roethlisberger's days are numbered. He's 34 and in the NFL, even for a QB, that is old. Bad knees, bad foot, bad back and a bunch of other things are gonna catch up to him. That's the name of the game. If it happens this year we are &^%$#% royally! BTW just be glad your team has a decent backup. We got Landry Jones. Heaven help us.

.....Dallas has one of the best, if not the best offensive lines in the NFL...

As long as Romo (and this goes for any QB pretty much) doesn't have a season ending injury or a PUP list surgery, he will most likely play 11-13 games and that's only because that's all he will need to play. Their schedule isn't that difficult and if they are 10-3 or 9-4 come week 13, locked into the playoffs, and can't get home field or a bye, I doubt we see Romo/Dez/Elliot play much the last 3 weeks. Is he worse for ware at 36? Sure. But people are blowing him getting hurt last year waaaay out of proportion. Their acting like him breaking his collarbone is the norm for some reason.

6 out of the top 9 QBs (not including romo)in the league are in their mid 30s. wilson. newton, and luck are the exceptions.

Shocking!

[iabass8]

Giants are going to run away /w the division. I can't see DAL going better than 2-5 maybe 3-4 /w DAK unless he puts on a show before Romo can come back week 8. I don't see them winning out and 10-6 won't win that division. Maybe Wild Card..

Week 1 NYG-L

Week 2 @WAS-L - possibly a W

Week 3 CHI-W

Week 4 @ SF-Flip a coin

Week 5 CIN-L

Week 6 @GB- LOL...might be over /w at the half.

Dallas has the same shot of winning the super bowl as I do.

Romo reminds me of glass Joe from mike Tysons punchout..
