So you rather be the Vikings or Cowboys fans today?

[RCowboyFan]

I sure hate to be Vikings fan. This would make me down couple weeks. I felt that when cowboys lost that game in 2007. So close and yet so far. This year, it was easy to forget because, Cowboys didn't have chance. At least that way, you can't think about, maybe if they made this play or that play, we could have easily won.

Boy, I would hate to be Vikings fan, especially considering, clearly, Vikings were the better team by a mile, other than the fact they had ton of turnovers and even got lucky to not have more actually.

[jswalker1981]

Does it really matter? If some of our fans were vikings fans, they would want to cut ADP after his fumbles. I think I would rather be somewhere in between last week and this week for the vikings. Don't lose big, but don't lose on an overtime field goal. Or better yet, just win the game.

I've been a fan for a long time, and have seen the Cowboys lose the NFC Champ game just like this. 1981? 1994?

It flat out hurts, and hurts for a long time. I've never gotten over some of those losses.

[maxsports]

I would just like the Cowboys to be in the Championship game!!!!!

Well yeah of course. You rather be Saints or rather be the final team that won everything. But my question was not about that. Of course every fan would love to be the fan of the team that won it all.

Figuring the Vikings where in the game had had a chance to win I say the Vikings. Our team got taken behind the woodshed beat down and was left on the door step crying curled up in the fetal position, sucking their thumbs.

[8FOR!3]

Vikings could have won the Super Bowl and I'd still want to be the Cowboys fan. I'm just wondering who to cheer for now. I think I'm going for the Saints. I like that they signed Deuce McAllister to be the honorary captain. And I'd rather support Sean Payton and Dan Campbell (yes, he's on the IR for the Saints currently) than the Colts, because I have a friend who's a Colts fan who knows nothing about football. As far as I'm concerned, any bad blood between us and the Saints can wait until the 2010 season.

Exactly, thats my point. Luckily I was out of country during that 94 playoff run, so missed it. I only came back after it was way over. So didn't hurt as much. But 2007 just absolutely made me sick to stomach. Haven't gotten over it even now.

[LilTexan]

I This would make me down couple weeks. I felt that when cowboys lost that game in 2007. So close and yet so far.


No kidding. I drove to the stadium and cried. :o:

I was thinking this myself a couple of days ago. Was it worse to lose like we did last week or in a close game with a botched field goal attempt? I'd have to say the latter is worse. A punch in the gut. Hope ripped out of our grasp in the final seconds.

Imo, a decisive loss hurts less. lol

[Sickwitit]

what kinda question i.sthat

[RCowboyFan]

Figuring the Vikings where in the game had had a chance to win I say the Vikings. Our team got taken behind the woodshed beat down and was left on the door step crying curled up in the fetal position, sucking their thumbs.

Yeah Ok, I guess. I don't know, if Flozell didn't get injured, or Columbo played Decent maybe the game would have been slightly different. Either way, game was clearly out of hand. Score indicates that they took us to woodshed.

But cowboys had a chance if Flozell didn't get hurt, since Cowboys D kept game within reach, till it became out of reach in after 3rd. So like I said, I was able to get over Vikings loss, because I knew if Flozell didn't play well or got injured Cowboys didn't have a chance.

[Dave_in-NC]

Win or lose I would rather have watched the Cowboys tonight.

[RCowboyFan]

No kidding. I drove to the stadium and cried. :o:



Imo, a decisive loss hurts less. lol

i didn't cry, but it hurt real bad for two weeks almost.


ANd yeah, I believe the same thing. Decisive game you can get over easily since you cannot if and but about one or two plays. THats all my question was about.

[gmb85]

I wanna be a Cowboys fan. We should be in the Superbowl right now. I want to cry.

[RCowboyFan]

I wanna be a Cowboys fan. We should be in the Superbowl right now. I want to cry.

Cowboys should be in SB?? Why because Cowboys deserver to be? They got beat clean and taken to woodshed by Vikings. I am sure Eagles fans or most 12 other team fans that made Playoffs rather be SB too.

Man, way to kill the thread and the topic :D Question was not about would you rather be Saints/Colts fan or Cowboys fan. It was about what kind of loss hurts more?

[Hostile]

I'd rather be a Cowboys fan even if we had gone 0-16. I can't help it that I love this team. If it were a capital offense, punishable by death I would patiently await my trip to glory.

[Doomsday]

Considering the Vikings are 0-4 in the Super Bowl and 0 for their last 5 NFC Championship games since thier last Super Bowl visit, I think I would rather be a Cowboys fan.

34-3.

[goshan]

The OP was trying to ask would you rather be a fan of the team that lost last week (like the Boys did) or a fan of the team that lost today in the NFC championship game (like the Vikes did). Of course, we would all rather be Cowboy fans, but that clearly wasn't the intent of his question.

Amazing how some can't grasp that simple question.

And to answer it, I'd rather have lost like we did last week than how the Vikings did today. I was around for the three straight conference championship games from 80-82. They all sucked, but no doubt that one point loss in '81 was the toughest and still irks me sometimes.

[yimyammer]

I've been a fan for a long time, and have seen the Cowboys lose the NFC Champ game just like this. 1981? 1994?

It flat out hurts, and hurts for a long time. I've never gotten over some of those losses.

Me neither, I still can't watch the catch, I almost kill myself diving for the remote so I can change the channell when they show that damn play. Can't bear to watch plays from our Super Bowl losses to the Steelers either.

So I guess I'd rather go ahead and lose the way we did last week versus a heart crusher losing the way the Vikings did. They're gonna "what-if" themselves to death

[DallasEast]

So you rather be the Vikings or Cowboys fans today?
This must be a trick question.

[BIGDen]

I'm proud and happy to be a Cowboys fan. We have a very good team and had a very good year. We also have a QB that will keep us in contention for years. Can the Vikings say that? Nice pass Brett. Karma's a female dog Childress, ain't it?:laugh2:

The Vikings are gonna be thinking about this loss for years. We'll get past this and move on to bigger things next year.

[AMERICAS_FAN]

Cowboys - because only the Saints clearly proved to me that they belonged in the NFC Championship game, and Dallas would've easily beaten them today.

[Future]

Win or lose I would rather have watched the Cowboys tonight.
Bingo.

We are Cowboys fans. I can't think of any time I'd root for another team.

[Kangaroo]

This must be a trick question.

Yes he was implying about how and when we lost in the playoffs

[Americas_Team]

Cowboy fan all the way... 5 is still more than 0... :D

[jimmy40]

Nothing hurts like losing the Super Bowl.

[Heisenberg]

Their QB will be retired within the next few months most likely. I'll take an earlier playoff exit with a QB that's going to be around a while.

[ladiewolve]

Always a Cowboys fan..no matter what. Can you believe a team we beat is going to the superbowl? I think 2010 is our year..we were almost there this year..and we keep getting better!:starspin

I'd much, much, much, much rather be a Cowboys fan than a fan of any other team, including the Vikings.

But I'm sure you meant to ask whether we'd rather have the Cowboys lose last week like they did or lose this week like the Vikings did. I'd rather have lost this week than last week, no matter how it happened, because that means we would have won last week.

I'm not one of those who would rather lose in the first round than lose in the NFC title game, or who would rather lose in the NFC title game than lose in the Super Bowl. I'd rather win every single game, but if that doesn't happen, I'd rather win as many times as possible. Losing the Super Bowl is better than not making it, and losing in the NFC title game -- even in overtime after your quarterback throws away your chance to win in regulation -- is better than not making it that far.

It flat out hurts, and hurts for a long time. I've never gotten over some of those losses.

Absolute truth.

I remember being 11 years old back in 1994, bawling my eyes out after the beatdown San Fran put on us, not knowing how to comprehend the pain I was experiencing. As a young fan it was my first time to feel the agony of heartbreaking defeat and I remember it vividly.

I was 4 years old when my grandfather died and barely knew him, but my mother has told me he would never, ever talk about The Catch for the rest of his life. If someone mentioned it he would simply shake his head and say "I don't want to talk about that".

I guarantee you whatever we felt last week doesn't compare to what Vikings fans are feeling.

[Beast_from_East]

I would much rather lose the way we did than to lose the way the Vikes did.

Why you ask???

Because losing like the Vikes did will stick with them for a long, long, long time. They will be playing the "what if" game forever, whereas we know exactly what the problem was in our loss (o-line) and since the game was over by halftime there is no thinking "what if".

How many times have posters said on here said "what if Crayton had caught that ball" back in the 07 playoff game???

[Chocolate Lab]

I'd rather be a Vikings-hating Cowboys fan.

Just like I am.

Or....what if Romo had been able to scramble another....what, yard and a half after the botched field goal attempt? (Remember tiny Gramatica's valiant effort to block?)

Gah. Gut wrenchingly, heart crushingly, dream killingly awful.

Now imagine that there was never any Staubach or Aikman to give us a single Super Bowl win on top of that, and your hope for next season is that your 40 year old, beat all to hell QB doesn't retire.

Yeah. I'd rather be us tonight.

Good points, it would suck to be a Viking right now. I guess they can go back to their "hood" now and try to convince the Crypt Keeper to come back for another year.........of course they will have to wait until after training camp for the answer!!!

I'm pretty sure I've said it over a thousand times and will never truly get over that until we win another Super Bowl.

I would always rather be a Cowboys fan but win or lose I would have loved to have seen the Cowboys in the NFC Championship game with out a doubt

[ZeroClub]

I'd have preferred to see the Cowboys go 2-1 in the playoffs instead of 1-1.

But as a fan, I'd rather see the Cowboys lose in the NFC Championshp game than lose in the Super Bowl. The Super Bowl loses are too painful.

Win or lose I would love to be in the SB. To me the pain is no more or no less losing in the divisional round than losing in the NFC Championship rd or SB. I don't think the loser of the SB has anything to be ashamed of.

[zrinkill]

Where did all the Viking Trolls go that showed up the last 2 weeks?

I agree with you about nothing to be ashamed of.

And actually, when the Cowboys lost to the Steelers for the first time in the Super Bowl, ... that time wasn't so bad.

But the thing that I don't like about Super Bowl loses is that us fans have to re-live the Super Bowl loss, time after time, because Super Bowl highlights are shown relatively often. (How many times have I seen Jim O'Brien doing the pogo?) The disappointment at the time of losing the Super Bowl is strong and the constant reminders of the loss (via highlights) for the following years and decades is like twisting the knife. That's how it strikes me anyway.

Frankly those SB of the 70's vs Pitt were among the greatest SB games played, I take pride in knowing the Cowboys were part of it. Of course I like winning but I can accept the fact you can't and don't always win. I was at the 1st SB between Dallas and Pitt it was a great game and it took a few days to get over it but as time went on and I looked back all I could think of was what a great game and was proud of how we played

[Aikbach]

Dallas could've beaten NO, you know that already, they played like garbage against Minny however and didn't get the opportunity.

[DFWJC]

JMO. The further you go in the playoffs, the better.
Having said that, I like our future more than I do the Vikes...though both look pretty good.
