OFFICIAL NFL week 7 thread

[dougp]

To be honest, I actually don't have anything against the team. I just hate Jerry Jones. His ego cost the Cowboys 2 more Super Bowl titles, minimum.

I won't ever argue against the stupidity that is J.J., but as a fan, you have to take the good with the bad.

 

[Joemonkey]

i've never liked the cowboys, always happy to see them play terribly, this has been a great year so far!

see sig as well

I'll take the Saints, they should have moved after Katrina.

Bills or Jags are probably your only option, but the Bills are probably looking at Toronto and the Jags at LA.

Jags or Rams will be in LA for 2014.

Good call, I forgot about the Rams and the terms of their stadium lease which I believe St. Louis might be in danger of breaking the terms.

 

[lupi]

if romo's out for a couple weeks at the least the cowgirls are done for the season.

 

[IndyColtsFan]

The Alamo Dome is a football stadium, so there is hope there.

That's weird, I like em both, and Bradshaw is cool.

Classy = being able to be a fan without by extension pissing on other teams.

 

[purbeast0]

this is just embarassing to even watch now.

glad the cowgirls are done for the season, means the skins have 1 less team to compete against for a spot in the playoffs.

huh? i thought fans get to piss on division rivals all they want? i dont mind the banter from skins boys and iggles fans. its good for the sport.

 

[GuitarDaddy]

As much as I love the Cowboys and am a lifelong fan, I'm quietly enjoying watching them implode this year just to watch JJ suffer in the year his all mighty taxpayer gift of a stadium hosts the superbowl.

He is absolutely the worst owner in professional sports and always has been, he has NO class, he knows nothing about football, he has run off and or handcuffed every decent coach he ever hired. He rules over all player moves and is an absolute IDIOT in that regard. This last offseason when we desperately needed to retool the offensive line he gets Dez Bryant to add to an already crowded recieving core.

We've had enough talent in the last 5yrs to win a couple of Superbowls, and all we have to show is 1 NFC east title and one playoff victory

 

[purbeast0]

Oh, really?

#1 Total Defense
#1 Passing Defense
#3 Rushing Defense
#1 Receiving Defense
#1 in Opponent First Downs allowed
#1 in Opponent Third Downs allowed
Tied for #2 in Opponent Fourth Downs allowed

Yup, real mediocre. That's from ESPN at least, NFL.com might rank them differently though. The problem is special teams + offensive line - and coaching. The first problem is coaching, period.

LOL

who fucking cares abiout their stats ... they are about to be 1 - 5.

Nah, I don't mind Pats, Jags, or Saints fans giving me crap. I give it right back. :awe:

Dez was a rather good steal, and you have to remember the Moss fiasco - JJ wasn't going to pass that up again, period. The STUPID move was letting Adams go, and not getting shit for Crayton. The Cowboys have sat on talent for years.

And as for him knowing nothing about football ... eh, he played more than most of us, lol.

Oh, it's you again. Do we need to get into how your little LB isn't the best in the league again?

bah, what fun is that?

Teams I root for, in order, as in if one above is playing one below I always root for the one above. And I know, it doesn't make sense to root for 3 teams in the same division

Steelers
Bears
Bengals
Ravens
Colts
Saints

Teams I cannot stand and if they ever played each other I would want to somehow have them both lose

Patriots
Cowboys

So see? I'm fans of many more teams than I'm not

 

[purbeast0]

ummm ... what the hell are you talking about?

and seriously, who cares if the cowboys are #1 in every single stat in the NFL ... other tan wins.

they are about to be 1-5, and if you didn't know, in the NFL you are what your record says.

 

[IndyColtsFan]

Cowboys

For me, this category would be the Pats, Chargers, and Jags. If these teams play each other, the one I "root for" (and I use that term EXTREMELY loosely) would be the one that would somehow benefit the Colts by winning.

I hate the Pats for obvious reasons. I dislike the Chargers for many reasons and just watch, if both Norv and Wade get canned, don't be shocked to see Norv as the new Cowboys coach. If that happens, my laughter will reach heights as of yet unknown.

"They are who we thought they were!"

 

[Leon]

Top 5 pick next year for Da Boys

LOL@Romo at the sidelines....

[indamixx99]

Haha, interesting onside kick there

 

[Balt]

Don't like the Cowboys, their coach, their owner, or some of their fans, but I still feel pretty bad for Romo. At least he looks like he tries.

 

[amdhunter]

Haha, interesting onside kick there

Here comes another...and it failed.

 

[Kev]

I'm loving the constant utter failure of the cowboys this year, and the stupid look on their douchebag owner's face with every subsequent pathetic loss.

 

[BoomerD]

We saw that hit on Romo...and knew immediately he was hurt.
I dislike the Cowboys, but don't hate them the way I do Oakland or Denver. (yesterday's game was great...and sucked at the same time.)

IMO, the Cowboys have fallen a long way since the Schramm/Landry days. As I remember, they USED to be a well disciplined team that rarely picked up penalties...yet played and won games. They still have good seasons, but as a team, they're just not what they were before Jerry Jones bought them.
Depending on how bad that collarbone fracture actually is, Romo may be out for the rest of the season...or he MIGHT be back in late December/early January...in time to watch the play-offs. (from his couch...not the sidelines)
If Dallas' season wasn't already going badly enough, losing Romo is a death knell for them this year.

I missed part of the second half. Dammed Uverse DVR froze up and wouldn't reboot. Finally got it going again, just before the two-minute warning. I was glad to see that Kitna had managed to get them down the field for one last TD.


BTW, there's absolutely NOTHING wrong with abandoning a team that's managed poorly, whether by the owner(s) or by the coaching staff. It's on the team to keep their fans...not on the fans to keep the team.

I hope that if there is a Hell, Al Davis and Jerry Jones end up as cell mates. They're two of a kind.
