    Lynch is a better RB than Murray on both short yardage and as a home run threat even if he is older. Question is how much does he have in the tank? Can he pass protect as well? Last night on NFL TV, Tomlinson was meh on the possible deal even if O'Hara was more positive. It really is a low risk high reward acquisition if it happens.

    McGloin now an Eagle behind Wentz and Foles... Wanted to compete to be a starter now he's likely third string. At least McGloin is home. Props to the Scranton Scrapper during his time with The Silver and Black.

    So who's excited for that Oakland/Dallas matchup? Potential Super Bowl preview. Two pretty similar teams. Terrific young QB's. Great offensive lines and elite skill players. Clearly teams on the rise. Obviously some defensive defeciences, but that's what the draft is for. If both teams can address some of those needs I definitely feel like that could be a potential matchup in February.

    Definitely a tougher schedule for my Cowboys, but that's why you have to get better. Raiders were definitely a team I enjoyed watching. Big fan of Derek Carr. Great young QB. Hated seeing him going down, but expect him to be even better next year.

    Yep. Looking forward to seeing Dak have to face some stiffer competition in regards to some of these defenses. Got Denver on the schedule. Kansas City. Raiders have their issues defensively, but they have an absolute game wrecker in Mack. Face Seattle and Atlanta as well.

    Will definitely be some bumps in the road, but the truly great ones are able to get through. Time will tell if that applies to Dak.

    ^#24 is such a hallowed number in Raider lore... Willie Brown, Woodson. And now Lynch?

    Roberts, Autry, Kirkland, and Holmes sign tenders. They're locked up for the season.

    Oakland will play the Jets in Week 2. Anxious to see when that matchup with Dallas is.
