GB will be very tough. I'm a little bitter how the seeds set up and that the Seabags now have a cakewalk to the NFC Championship and would have no matter who won yesterday.....I guess the haters will also say GB has a cakewalk, too. We'll see....
how is this hatred? can you explain how the refs made the correct calls on any of these plays?
not saying they did.....regardless, this isn't a sure "if not for this, then that"....anything can happen.
My point is, Dallas moves the meter....when you don't have a horse in the race it's good to have someone to root against.....lakers, yankees, cowboys, whoever....you can hate again next week...I get it.
If they win the Super Bowl, you gonna head down to the parade? Seeing as though you're born and raised in the Dallas area, right? Haha. Where is Flagg when you need him? I believe he is the only Cowboys fan here who actually lives in Texas. But anyway...
You can do the "if not this, then..." game. Quite easily actually:
IF the refs made the correct DPI and unsportsmanlike like call on Dez, THEN I can absolutely say the Lions have the ball around the 10 yard line with an extremely good chance of ending the game. Instead, yada yada yada...
Should have been 30 yards in penalties.
two things.....
"extremely good chance" does not equal an unquestionable certainty.
secondly, I guess I'm a fraud because I don't live in the town of the team I root for....I know you jump on your home team bandwagon, not matter what.....you know good and well I'm an old bastard....I became a Cowboys fan after a loss and before they ever won a SB....yeah, I'm that fucking old.
BTW....same kinda way I became an SF Giants fan....liked their players at an early age and liked their grit.
Yeah I'm a Dolphins fan from just outside of Philly. So I relate to the "I liked their players at an early age....." thing. But you know how it isl that all Cowboys, Chicago Bulls, and New York Yankees fans that aren't from those towns are accused of being a bandwagon fan because of their success in the 90s. See I'll never be accused of being a bandwagon Dolphins fan. That's for sure. Instead, I always hear "What?

haha! My parents used to take us kids to Florida over Christmas....I well remember their better teams....csonka, kiick, Fernandez, Morris, etc.
Juggler may not believe it but I've never wavered....thru the good, the bad, the 1-15, the SB's....they're my boys. The skins used to be my most hated division team.....but the juggler is putting his Eagles on my shit list too.

There's no such thing as "unquestionable certainty." But having 1st and goal from the 10, up 3, with about 5 minutes left is pretty damn close...hence everyone's, including Mike Periera's disgust.
As far as your second point, it is what it is, no matter how long ago it happened.www.myspace.com0 -
obviously Detroit got fucking hosed but hopefully this will lead to the NFL going back to the regular ref crews instead of making up new ones come playoff time. Why ref with the same crew all year then they break them up during the playoffs? I know they are trying to reward the best but you should treat them as teams and take the best crews. breaking them ups is just dumb.
4 games next week should be really good. Call me crazy but I for one think Carolina has a real shot at Seattle.0 -

I hate the cowboys. Any of you cowboy fans think you're going to make it to the super bowl? I've got $100 that says they don't. Any takers?0

Fire at the home of Ron Rivera in Charlotte around 4am this morning. Rivera said he woke up to the sound of smoke detectors. There were 6 people in the home at the time. All of them got out unharmed.
Check the batteries in your smoke alarms people. You never know when they will save your life!0 -
Loved reading through the Cowboy hate/love here....I am firmly on the hate side but give them props. A win provided by officials is still a win at the end of the day, and they move on.
I cannot believe I will be rooting for GB next week -- but I will!The love he receives is the love that is saved0 -

Luke Kuechly is an unbelievable talent. Still think if they went up against a team who wasn't stuck with their 4th string qb, they lose big. Lindley's gotta be the worst qb to ever start a playoff game.
I agree with you about lindley. But it wouldn't be a huge surprise to see Carolina beat Seattle or Green Bay right now. Their running game is surprisingly good and the defense is playing very well.
They will be about a 10 point or more underdog vs either of those teams.
Cardinals have no qb, no running game, and a God awful special teams and they had a chance. They left a lot of points off the board.
11 point underdogwww.myspace.com0 -
I just might take those points.0

Atrocious call, but Detroit had their chances after. Some quotes on ESPN this morning are ridiculous though...Cris Carter and the ref that called into Mike and Mike are idiots.
Hope Indy can keep the run game and d going next weekend. Have to keep the ball from Manning to have any chance.0 -

in other words, do I think the Cowboys will go on the road in consecutive weeks and beat the two best teams in the NFC....maybe the two best in the NFL? uh.....probably not. It could happen but, duh, I wouldn't bet on it.

There with you. I dont think 'Lina gets many (if any) points on the board.The love he receives is the love that is saved0 -

Completely agree. Very surprising that this isn't talked about more. Like you said, I get that they try to reward the best guys at each spot, but to make guys work with a new crew for the most important games of the year doesn't make much sense.0 -
As long as someone beats Seattle. I don't care who, but someone.Star Lake 00 / Pittsburgh 03 / State College 03 / Bristow 03 / Cleveland 06 / Camden II 06 / DC 08 / Pittsburgh 13 / Baltimore 13 / Charlottesville 13 / Cincinnati 14 / St. Paul 14 / Hampton 16 / Wrigley I 16 / Wrigley II 16 / Baltimore 20 / Camden 22 / Baltimore 24 / Raleigh I 25 / Raleigh II 25 / Pittsburgh I 250

Ok, so I had the Panthers/Cards game wrong. But I wasn't wrong about Carolina being a bad team. I hadn't seen lindley play at all and I wish I could still say that. If he only looked to pass to someone other than Fitz, they may have had a shot.Alright, alright, alright!
