Semi OT: Miles Austin and why M wins this week
http://dal.scout.com/2/1022061.html
So according to Miles Austin,
Wide receiver Miles Austin said the Cowboys took a hard-edge [emphasis mine] approach and got back down to business in practice this week.
If HARRD EDGE can let a 1-7 team starting a former lions QB beat the division leading Giants...
by 2 scores....
in NJ...
imagine what it will do for a 7-3 team at home starting dilithium :D

And everyone thought this was meaningless. Psh. If the Cowboys can do it, anyone can.
November 18th, 2010 at 11:46 AM ^
Huh? What does Miles Austin have anything to do with Michigan beating Wisconsin?
November 18th, 2010 at 11:48 AM ^
hard edge.

Interesting but the comparisons end at hard-edge. The Cowboys were considered a preseason superbowl pick and even with kitna were probably the most talented 1-7 team in history. It would be a better comparison if a team like Alabama were 1-7 this year playing as heavy dogs.
November 18th, 2010 at 11:57 AM ^
You are probably right. They were still favorites being 1-7 for the Super Bowl too. Predictors never get it wrong when predicting the Super Bowl. They should hve just packed it in when Wade was fired. I guess we should pack it in since we got the 7th win that the predictors said we would end up with too. Screw the mental part of any competition. It's all physical. We're toast, cooked, busted, screwed, and doomed.
November 18th, 2010 at 12:52 PM ^
You missed my point, although I do understand the point of this thread was to just cite something with Hard Edge in it and not to actually talk about football. My point was not that predictors are wrong, it was that the Cowboys are highly talented and their underdog status was more to do with bad coaching/bad luck than lack of talent or youthfulness. An underperforming Alabama team would much more closely resemble the Cowboys (who won the NFC east last year and returned everybody and added Dez Bryant). Michigan reminds me a lot more of a team like the Rams this year -- New QB in place, young team and middle of the pack team, chance to pull off an upset against the upper-tier teams, could easily be a force in the NFC in the next couple of years.
November 18th, 2010 at 12:55 PM ^
The Rams? I am thinking Tampa Bay with their young but promising QB.
November 18th, 2010 at 1:12 PM ^
Umm I dunno if you haven't been paying attention, but Bradford has been the most impressive rookie QB in a LONG LONG time. Freeman is good but Bradford is just looking so impressive.
November 18th, 2010 at 1:20 PM ^
I don't even know what NFL stands for. Thanks for clueing me in on Bradford. I agree he is good, but I think Denard is along the lines of a more mobile QB like Freeman, McNabb (old), and Vick. Denard is inexperienced right now so I am going with Freeman with a good chance of Vick.
November 18th, 2010 at 1:25 PM ^
Matt Ryan would like to have a word with you.
November 18th, 2010 at 12:13 PM ^
We need a symbol to go beside posts that have heavy sarcasm/will make you lol. This way, people that need a good laugh know exactly where to go. But what is a good blog w out sarcasm, humor, and wits mixed together?!
November 18th, 2010 at 12:19 PM ^
I agree with you 100%. I'm as sarcastic as the next guy/gal and I always appreciate these posts. Personally, I just thinkthe use of an article with the phrase "hard edge" mentioned as grounds for starting a new thread is borderline non-OT . . . All that said, the "hard edge" responses to posts/threads is definitely funny. Maybe just not new thread material?
November 18th, 2010 at 12:30 PM ^
I agree. I don't want every post using the disguise of hard edge to promote their own agenda. With that said, I do plan on posting a hard edge pump up post friday. It will most likely be torn down in 2.3 seconds, but what the hell? Right?
I thought this was great because the 1-7 Cowboys used "a hard-edge" approach and won.
November 18th, 2010 at 1:38 PM ^
your avatar is hard edge.
November 18th, 2010 at 3:41 PM ^
I was going to tell him the same thing...
November 18th, 2010 at 1:30 PM ^
is a term for a reason.
November 18th, 2010 at 1:51 PM ^
I've been pretty busy this week and must have missed something. Can someone fill me in on what all this hard edge talk has been about?
November 18th, 2010 at 2:07 PM ^
This is hard edge:
This is soft edge:
We are taking a hard edge, rope holding, killer instinct approach to this game and possibly more. Hard edge is a frame of mind, an attitude to bring to the Big House this Saturday.
GO BLUE!!!
November 18th, 2010 at 1:55 PM ^
Or maybe Cut Hedge?
No, definitely a Hard Edge:
November 18th, 2010 at 2:03 PM ^
Brilliant.
