The Choc Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I'm very much lightened up. I just don't for the most part enjoy the trash talking aspect of sports. I mean with a good friend of another team it can be fun once in a while, but I'm just not going to enjoy trash talking with someone who I don't really know.

Tex Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 Fair enough. As a non Cowboys fan I'm curious to get you're take on them. I have NO faith in them, but logic tells me they may be legit. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Choc Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I think they are a good team, will be in playoffs but I think there formula is missing one element. A team that wins based on offensive power football normally needs to be paired with a very good defense. And although the Boys defense isn't the disaster it was predicted to be, it is sill only ok. Having said that I do think they will win 10 or 11. Obviously to win 10 just have to go 4-5 so not exactly a crazy prediction. They'll make the playoffs.

Tex Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 I agree with all of that. I'm surprised by their D but I'm blown away by their running game. They look like the 90s Boys, but I just can't buy it. I see them crashing hard. Feels a lot like 2007, when we went 13-3 and lost at home to your streaking Giants because we ran out of gas. I think the 2014 Boys are showing more heart that they have in the past, but I'm far too cynical to believe in them. I would venture to guess that this mentality galvanizes this team, but I also think they're one loss away from crumbling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tex Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 Yeah it sucks. We're either delusional and confrontational or realistic and afraid. I'd say most are the former, and I can't relate to those folk. Can't complain, though. It's been a fun ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The loss to the Giants in the 2007-2008 playoffs should have been won by the Cowboys, had a wide-open Patrick Crayton not dropped what could have been a sure touchdown. Still, I don't think the Cowboys would have beat the Patriots in the Superbowl, so it all worked out well in the end. This team really reminds me of the 1992 Cowboys, minus the outstanding defense. Their offense pretty much dictates the flow of the game, and even when the opponent puts 8 men in the box, they still run the ball for positive yardage. You have a 2 tough receivers in Bryant and Williams (remember Irvin and Harper) a running back that makes yards after 1st contact and a tight end that creates space in the middle of the field. They pretty much pushed around a Seattle defense that is almost impossible to beat at home in the past 20 something games at home, and that means a lot. The defense may not be the greatest thing to show up in the NFL for quite some time, but they shut down Drew Brees in the 1st half of that game, contained Russell Wilson and put enough pressure on Eli to make if very difficult for him to complete passes in crunch time. If this defense finds a way to shut down the fast paced offense of the Eagles, my view of them might change to that of a defense that just doesn't quit and they've shown a lot of that through the 1st seven games. This team has an attitude that I haven't seen in a long time from the Cowboys and I believe it all started in week 1, when they clawed a scratched their way back into a game that would have been a blowout last season.

The Saints' defense gave up a lot of yardage, but they won the battle of turnovers with something like a +15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms. Spam Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I just checked Dallas' schedule and truly believe they can win more than 10 games this season. They play Washington, AZ, JAX, Giants, Philly, Chicago, Philly, Indy and Washington again. In that order. To be honest only Indy gives me the willies.

Lord Darth Hunter Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Now that Brady got #4, I've heard all the talking heads debating this week and it reminded me of this thread. So I've learned... You are a better quarterback if you weren't good enogh to make the Superbowl in some years rather than if you led your team to the big game and lost.

ShadowDog Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I was reminded today that Billups should have picked off Montana to end the game in his third SB. It was a dropped INT in the end zone. The throw was bad, but because the player dropped it Montana is a God. The player didn't drop it this time so Brady is a God. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will probably never see a team make 4 straight Superbowls again. Yet the Bills are looked on as losers. The same thing happens in basketball. Magic Johnson made 9 trips to the Finals in his 12 year career. That's just incredible. To play 12 years of NBA basketball and not play in the Finals in only 3 of those? We'll never see an NBA player do that again either. Yet all you ever hear is how Jordan went 6-6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
