25 of the remaining 48 people in my survivor pool have Dallas to lose today. Not me. 🙂 ---

So . . . who had the way, way over on the Denver-Dallas game? Highest scoring game in NFL history huh? Pretty cool. ---

Way to go Matt Schaub. Way to go. Don’t call him a grilling idiot. Something good comes out of grilling. ---

> [@It\_s\_Not\_Rocket\_Surgery](#): > > Jadeveon Clowney can go get fitted for his Giants Jersey. I dunno. Clowney’s stock is taking a nosedive this year. He hasn’t done much when he’s played, and he’s not playing a lot, either. Held himself out of this week’s game, surprising his coaches in the process. Says his ribs hurt. He seems lazy, and perhaps unmotivated. He may not even go in the first round if this continues… ---

Are you serious? Rae Carruth or Chris Henry; those are the only two ways he takes himself out of the first round at this point. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/nfl-week-5/670234.md?page=4) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/nfl-week-5/670234.md?page=6)
