Cowboys lose again...Dallas fans feel the pull as suckage continues...
I hate to cheer for Brett Favre, but the battle of the losers was resolved in the Vikings favor as the Cowboys killed themselves with penalties and poor execution. Score Dallas 21-Vikings 24. Cowboys have won 1 game and lost 4, and occupy the cellar of the NFL East.
Vikings advance to 2-3
I'm happy.

1. "Error: You can't un-recommend threads from this forum" Obviously the NFL does not
Edited on Sun Oct-17-10 06:10 PM by madinmaryland
want a team to host the Super Bowl. Just look at the referees calls and one can see what is going on.

Dallas will not be in the Super Bowl this year, thanks to the NFL. It will be interesting to see if the NFL lets the Giants/Jets host the Blizzard Bowl in two years.

2. Can't blame the NFL for late hits, facemask penalties and lousy playing.
Unless you blame them for having rules in the first place...Dallas lost, and they helped give it away today...

5. I saw the same thing in a different game
Penalties: NY - 3, Detroit - 11

Late hits, hits out of bounds, Lions earned their loss. I'm sure the coaches are yelling at these players, but maybe it's hard to teach a brazillionaire.

The Dallas game was going to run later than my geezer bedtime, so I just read a book instead.

:hi:

23. I'm a huge Cowboys fan, but....
Penalties or not, they just can't seal a win this year. Too many mistakes, most of them involving fundamentals (can you say "awful coaching?"). Bad officiating or not, they commit multiple, blatant penalties. Romo is not and has never been a franchise quality QB, but JJ loves the image of having discovered hidden talent, so he can't face reality. This team has convinced themselves they are Super Bowl quality, without any execution to back it up.

Even as a fan, I am rooting for lots of losses this season. Think of it as tough love. That's what it's going to take to convince the management that several changes are necessary.

With a few notable exceptions, the team has an impressive roster, but what good does it do if they can't execute for a full 4 quarters of football?

Hopefully next season can be a rebuilding year with a new coaching staff and a handful of new personnel on the field.

10. It was difficult to root for Favre.
I can't stand Bret Favre, but I kind of liked the Vikes before he got there. However, I hate the hell out of the Cowboys no matter who's on their team. Always have...always will.

11. My Broncos exude extreme suckage this year. But....
The Cowgirls exuding even more makes it a good year.

Much kudos to someone with a good sense of humor. BTW, your analysis of the Boyz problems upthread is spot on, I think...:thumbsup:

28. What can a fan do this year but laugh?
Every team over time will have their bad years. It's just that in Texas, we do everything in a big way, I guess.

24. Suckage is right, but the Eagles have sucked for longer and harder.
I take small comfort in that.

5-0

33. And what does an Eagle fan look back on?
A Super Bowl loss and a few big wins in the NFC East. I'll take my "dusty" memories.

34. All part of the plan.
We are lulling the rest of the league into taking us lightly, then BAM!!

Either that or we just want a high draft pick and an excuse to fire Jason Garret.
