Cowboys-Packers 29/11/07 : Time to talk smack

[SL__72]

Tyler,

Do I really have to explain? Your homerism effects your thoughts, thus effects your posting. You constantly say crazy things solely b/c you are a Redskin fan or b/c you hate the Cowboys etc. and not b/c of reason. Example from your first post in this thread:

[ QUOTE ]
Unreal how good the Cowboys run.

[/ QUOTE ]

This is just a whiny comment typical of a homer. Anyone that can reason for a second can realize that they aren't necessarily running good but playing good--now for them to actually do something substantial this year they will need things to go their way, this is the case w/ just about every team in the NFL and every team any year.

And if you had any actual clue you would realize that they haven't really ran well this year--they haven't played with their full healthy defense yet this year. Let's go through this shall we? They have lost their #2 wideout for the year (Terry Glenn) so far and have still put up more points than anyone in the league other than NE. Lost Jason Ferguson for the season in the very first game, he was an integral part of the line. Greg Ellis was hurt for half the year, just like last year--he is a difference maker for the defense, just like last year once he was hurt their defense fell apart, this year, once he came back their defense suddenly became much better. They were without their shutdown corner Terrence Newman until week 5 but of course Anthony Henry is hurt when Newman is back. Then in week 11 Leonard Davis, the big money big man on the O-line who has protected Romo better than anyone this year has someone fall into his ankle in practice (running good? lolz) and he sprains his ankle. Anthony Henry is still battling his high ankle sprain too. Week 12, now Patrick Crayton is hurt--so no Glen or Crayton, now Dallas has their normal #4 receiver Sam Hurd as the #2 (once again lolz @ running good). There have been 2 weeks this season were injuries have been "minimal," other than that they have battled through change all season.

That was long-winded but it was to prove a point.

Not to mention how "good" we ran in last years playoffs. We came up with new and amazing ways to give up a road playoff game, while giving up the division just before that.

I didn't read your lost post b/c I don't think I need to. I'll read it later, I just want to write this: You shouldn't take my posts so seriously. I partly wrote that to stir up some more discussion about the game and to get some more Dallas fans to post. Yes Dallas has been bad for the last ten years and yes they are due for some major success and yes Tony Romo is a top 5 QB. If you knew me personally you'd know that I have given the Cowboys tons of credit this season even tho I hate them w/ a passion. I've also told a bunch of friends that the Cowboys should be an elite team for years to come, tho hopefully most of that will coincide w/ the strong teams that the Patriots and Colts will produce (b/c I'd hate to see Dallas win a Super Bowl anytime soon).

I was just joking w/ that post b/c they're playing the other top team in the NFC when that team is unlikely to be w/o 5 starters.

Let's not discuss how the ball bounces right into Romo's hands every time on a botched snap [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

lol...er, I meant to write "when that team is likely to be w/o five starters."

Tyler,

It's all good.


As for the game, I just don't have a good feeling...GB is a completely different animal now that they are avg'ing nearly a 100 yards a game rushing (are they avg'ing 100? the last 4 or so games). If this was week 4 I wouldn't have a problem picking Dallas and feeling good about it--and Dallas isn't playing bad right now or anything, I just think GB is playing THAT GOOD.

[Golden_Rhino]

I am a Packers fan. I just hope we don't get smoked. This is the Packers first top level opponent, so win or lose if they can keep it close I will have reason to have some hope for a decent playoff run. If they get smoked, then my feeling that they have been playing over their heads all year will be confirmed.

**EDIT**

Just remembered that this is a smack talk thread so:

GB's huge problem will be all the injuries that just hit them. While the offense is in pretty good shape except for Tauscher and Franks (the loss of Franks isn't a big deal, as Lee has been great), the defense is in horrible, horrible shape and should have trouble keeping up with Dallas' offense.

We'll see, though.

[SuperUberBob]

I feel ungrateful.

I can watch the game (got the NFL Network on campus), but because of work I'm gonna miss the first half of the game.

[PITTM]

uhhh wow. so i just called comcast to get the nfl network package thing everyone is complaining about having to buy. I now have a much better complaint. For some reason, Santa Cruz, CA, a city of 50,000 people, does not get the NFL network through cable(comcast), so I cannot watch the game at my house on TV unless I switch to a dish provider, wow. That is incredible, I get 200+ channels and there is a nationally televised nfl game and I will not be getting it. wow.
