Cowboy fans are very cocky right now

joe48 : 10/18/2014 5:52 am
My son in law is a huge Dallas fan. He is having a big party Sunday to watch the game. I would love to ruin his party. Reading through comments on their blog Cowboy fans do not give the Giants much of a chance on Sunday. Acting like they are going to SB. I think they have a good team. The Seahawks are not the same team that won the SB last year. I think we can beat them if we win the battle in the trenches. Murray will get his yards. If we can get an early lead, control the ball, and get a couple of turnovers we can beat them. I want Tony Romo to try and beat us. Remember Romo only practices once a week. He had a couple of lucky throws last week. Seahawks do not have a great offense. They gave up on the run and Wilson cannot win games with his passing. We could be catching the Cowboys at the right time.

Gmen never are as good or as bad as the bbi pendulum leads you to believe

I expect us to win
all the Cowboys douchebags are out in full force

We wont win another game unless the old fart

puts McClain back out at MLBer and sits or cuts Beason

The guy is a boat anchor

3-0 McClain
0-3 Beason

this is NOT a coincidence......Beason runs around out there like chicken with his head cut off

Cowboy fans [that don't live in, and probably have never been to Dallas] are very cocky right now. The rest of them are pretty sane. I've been talking to them all week at work (my company has an office in Dallas).
As were many here pre-Philly.

One "big" loss or two changes all that..
The Cowboys  
blapre74 : 10/18/2014 7:19 am : link
fans have a right to be cocky. They just knocked off the defending world champions. they don't have a weakness, and they can run the ball down an opponent's throat. I am very envious of the way they have built that O line, Witten(great clutch TE) and the way their d is playing. Why not be cocky?
Agreed

Everyone pegged the cowboys as a 6 to 8 win team at best before the season. They are white hot right now and playing some fine football .
Going into Seattle  
Rocky Thompson : 10/18/2014 7:32 am : link

and winning would be enough to make anyone cocky. This is the best time to take them down. Forget about last week, go in there like this is the only football game you're gonna play in your life and create turnovers...
They'd be best served to learn from history

The hot hand in October doesn't matter much, the hot hand in January does.

Between now and then, all it takes is for someone to bend Romo the wrong way tossing him to the ground, or a high ankle sprain for Murray, or Dez Bryant to hold up a 7-11 (put even odds on all of these) and that season can come crashing back to Earth in no time flat.
cowboy fans are now out of the woodwork

Jerrahs place is going to be ballistic Sunday.
As long as DeMarco Murray holds up ...  
FStubbs : 10/18/2014 7:44 am : link
... they're good. But he's getting a record number of carries - the type of high-carry season a RB doesn't recover from. And it's not like Murray was a bellweather before this season.

Also, it's not December yet.
One thing about the NFL is the parody.

It wouldn't be the craziest to see the Giants beat the Cowboys. THey can do it but will they do it?
Let them enjoy their moment of regular season glory.

I guess. Impressive win at Seattle where they dominated everybodys favorite to win it all again. We would be the same way if we beat down the Eagles instead of the other way around. Lets hope we can become cocky again if we beat them Sunday.
Giants fans were very cocky last week...

Not surprised they are cocky. They beat a very good Seahawks team at home and playing the Giants who got smoked last week.

The 200 Real Dallas fans deserve to be a bit cocky.

The rest of the Fairweather Cowboys fans will be coming out of the woodwork.
They are basically where we were at mid-season in 2011.  
Big Blue Blogger : 10/18/2014 8:13 am : link
Four games over .500, coming off an impressive road win in a stadium where the home team never loses. Then Boley got hurt, Manningham dropped a pass and the Giants lost four in a row.

It happens every year in the N(ot) F(or) L(ong). Maybe the Cowboys will keep rolling. Maybe, like those Giants, they will stumble, then right themselves. Maybe their season will collapse. In the meantime, their fans can gloat.
They have every right to be  
Kevin(formerly Tiki4Six) : 10/18/2014 8:14 am : link
They looked dominant against Seattle and are 5-1...

We would be the same way no?

We need to come out no huddle and keep their no name defense on the field and expose them. Last week Wilson had no time to throw and his receivers did not appear to fight for the ball ... They just stood there and let the defender come chop the ball out...

Don't let Romo escape , Seattle was trying to land the big hits on him all game instead of just wrapping him up and taking him down . He's very agile back there, just bring him down vs trying to take his head off
We dont match up well with their potent offense  
spike : 10/18/2014 8:23 am : link
Witten will out run our linebackers and make third down catches. Their OL is going to push us around and Murray will probably rush for over 100 yards again.

Dez Bryant is a playmaker and we might not even have DRC on the field.

Fans are notorious front runners. 5 wins all of a sudden blots out 7 years of mediocrity. Examine their season. Lose at home to miners when niners were not playing good ball. Struggle against Houston. Behind Rams 2 1 nothing and survive dropped pass in endzone that clinches game. Good win against Hawks who have lost 2 of last 7 home games after being unbeatable there.

Dallas looks good but they are not far superior to the Giants. It is a long season let s see where we are at end of year.
If we beat Seattle in Seattle last week and

on the dallas equivalent to wfan. Their arrogance, snarkiness and confidence was oozing through the airwaves, it was nauseating. Sunday night was a complete dud and nobody is giving the giants a chance in hell to win tomorrow and i'm not even sure how i feel about it but what i do know is if the giants win tomorrow they'll be right back on track going into their bye and all this dallas hype bullshit will simmer down.
Question  
BigBlueShock : 10/18/2014 9:23 am : link
Why do Cowboys fans always referred to themselves as "huge Cowboys fan" or "diehard Cowboy fan"? Hell, they even have their buddies saying it now, as evidenced by the thread starter. Seriously, it is NEVER simply Cowboys fan. It's as if they are apologetic because they couldn't point out Dallas on a map if they were put within 50 miles. So they feel the need to stress just how "huge" of a fan they are, to try to convince us all that they are with them through thick and thin.

Unfortunately for them, we are smarter than that.

And I agree with the poster above. Fans that actually live in the Dallas area are a bit better. This post is referring to the ridiculous, unexplained amount of Cowboy fans around the rest of the country. Fuck them fake ass douche bags.
I think most Dallas "fans" are those  
mrvax : 10/18/2014 9:57 am : link
hapless creatures that were at Aunt Millie's house every Thanksgiving. As a child they'd root for the more familiar team on that day which is usually the Cowboys.

Now these folks don't actually know a damn thing about football but for 1 day a year, they can rub elbows with uncle Tony and uncle Fred and not seem like sissies by watching the game. It was easy for the kids to root for Dallas since they always played a team that they would easily beat each Thanksgiving. No kid like to root for a loser.

Now, years later when these non-football fans hear a few stories that link them back to childhood memories of a simpler time when the Cowboys usually won, they raise the banner of pretense and claim they are diehard Dallas fans.

These fans aren't lying. For one day a year, they were in fact real true Cowboys fans.

sounds like wishful thinking to me...

When a team has as strong an OL as Dallas has (although Free is out; Parnell sound like one of NYG's "developing OL", maybe that will be a positive for us), that's a lot of leverage against an inconsistent defense (our Giants). Carter is out, so this helps too.

Dallas seems to be a team on the rise, whereas the Giants have basically tread the waters of mediocrity for three seasons, trending downward. Some teams are able to move beyond crippling injuries and maintain high level of play. We've been ruing our injuries season after season. That doesn't cut it as a complete explanation. We have little to no quality depth and the overall talent level is NFL average, so our season records during this period have been NFL average + or -. Our drafting has been poor, the coaching spotty, our luck worse, and our FA signings on balance, very meh.

We had a number of games in the second half last season that were critical to maintaining some momentum and any semblance of being competitive into December, and the outcomes were along the lines of Sunday night. Any semblance of that tomorrow, and I'm afraid the dye will be cast. I'm hopeful TC will get this group to rise up and deliver a blow in Jerrah's backyard, hopeful, not confident.

Jon mentioned in yesterday's thread re. Dallas game as season maker/breaker that once we heal, the needle is looking up for 2015. In absolute terms, maybe yes, but relative to the NFC East and playoff teams as a whole, I'm not sure that will get us very far. We're sounding a lot like Dem Bums (Brooklyn terminology, late '40s and early 50's). There needs to be change.

lost said " I'm all done with them" They are awful.

Were you around for 2008? If you were, you'd know better than this. The NFL can change in a moment's notice, and the Cowboys, despite a very good record and coming off a huge win, are no cinch to do anything this year. For all you know, the wheels will be falling off in a couple of weeks after Romo twists his back.
Dont worry  
spike : 10/18/2014 4:13 pm : link
the season is 17 weeks long.

I remember the Giants were 11-1(!) in the 2008 season. And then what happened.. they limped into the postseason and got upset by the Eagles. Thanks Plaxico.

bc4life : 10/18/2014 4:33 pm : link
you'd be reckless to bet on the GMen - pretty much all of the talent acquired thru FA/trade, including Beason are hurt, IR'd.

Our secondary concerns me the most - pass rush is critical.

Yes, I was around in 2007 and the SB run, and we caught lightning in a bottle, dealing heartbreak to Big D, a gutty, incredibly well-played win in Ice Bowl II, and magic in the Supe. We had Spags' defense disrupting the best offenses in the NFL, a true leader in Strahan, an emergent Tuck, solid DTs, DBs playing (as it turns out) the best of their careers, and a balanced offense across the board led by Eli and a resurgent Plax. Those Giants came up big in big games after the 0-2 start.

"If you were, you'd know better than this. The NFL can change in a moment's notice, and the Cowboys, despite a very good record and coming off a huge win, are no cinch to do anything this year. For all you know, the wheels will be falling off in a couple of weeks after Romo twists his back."

I mostly agree with this--NFL CAN change quickly, and all the rest, but imo it's still wishful thinking for the Giants to turn this around (whether against Dallas today and/or for the rest of 2014) and is quite unlikely to happen. Our OL is, at best, a work in progress with real question marks (unlike '07), our LBs remain among the League's worst units, the DL is ok but without the DE/DT balance, strength, and leadership of '07, etc.

What could happen? JPP takes a giant step forward to becoming a team leader (instead of the bullspit stuff mocking the Eagles, sheesh) and galvanizes the front, DMoore gets strong and smart, Kennard steps in and gives the LBs some tenacity and short route coverage ability (err, well, maybe not), and we have no more injuries in the secondary. RR, Parker, and Washington make up for the loss of Cruz and OBJ becomes what we hoped when he was drafted. And Donnell somehow finds his way again...And the OL???

Not impossible, but just about everything has to go right.

Above all, I just don't see the team chemistry emerging. I believe the team is stuck in a rut of mediocrity, meaning NFL average, + or -, with this FO/coaching staff, The Eagles game outcome Sunday night would not have occurred with a team about to bust out, in my opinion. It was too reminiscent of 2013.
