Does anybody else realize that everytime our Cowboys play,Troy finds away to bash them.I think he is just angry because he is strapped in the booth with Buck.
He has nothing to say but negative things.I think maybe if he talked good about the cowboys he may have had his booth rolled, and Joe Buck is right along with him bashing the boys.
Why can't he just be homer and admit it like Irvin does.He is so phoney anymore.

Maybe it has to do with the fact that, in every game Aikman broadcasts, we manage to lose the game through mental mistakes, missed assignments or penalties. Maybe this shows Aikman what kind of a team we are and he is reporting what he sees.

If we didn't suck so hard yesterday, maybe he would have said something nice. As it was, the team out there yesterday deserved any criticism they got. It was pathetic.

Troy is a perfectionist and is pained by crappy play he sees. He does seem negative at times, but there are negative things in most Dallas games here lately.

I still bet he pulls for Dallas on some level.

Aikman was not the problem yesterday.

You sound like you just want some homer calling the game ala how Irvin is on ESPN.

How about you stick with theezman calling Skins games...is that what you want a superhomer calling games?

Troy's comments were dead-on yesterday. The Cowboys haven't won a playoff game in almost ten years. What do you expect - compliments?

As an announcer, Troy can't live in a state of delusion...even if some members of his old fan base are permanent members there.

Aikman is the best there is at what he does. He's a little "Captain Obvious" for me ... but that is nitpicking. The truth is if you come away from a game Aikman is announcing thinking he was being partial to one side ... your team probably lost. And that's the way it's supposed to work.

1996 Philly at home. Once again, Irvin made a big play downfield, but could not get past the 1 yard line. He didn't have a great nose for the endzone. Dallas had a chance to win. Aikman tried to Tiji Armstrong in the endzone and it was interecepted. There is the big difference. Tiji Armstrong?

Aikman only had Irvin as a receiving threat that season. Irvin was great, but there were no other receiving weapons on that team. Kelvin Martin was back for Dallas, but that was his last NFL season. Kevin Williams was no good. Stepfret Williams and Billy Davis probably wouldn't even make other teams rosters. Eric Bjornson proved to be a poor mans Rob Awalt. Aikman screwed up, but it wasn't as if he had great choices. Bledsoe had T.O., Glenna and Witten on the field.

I like Aikman as an announcer. He does a good job for the most part. My only criticism of him yesterday was that on one play he made a big deal of T.O. being covered by only one guy when it was obviously no the case. There was a linebacker dropping giving underneath help and a safety providing deep help on that play.

I thought Joe Buck was going a little overboard on trying to portray T.O. as a disruption on the sidelines. There really was no way of telling what T.O. was saying and his attitude on the sidelines looked no worse than what I ever saw of Keyshawn Johnson in Dallas. I also like Joe Buck. The Fox team is one of the best and I would be happy if they did more Cowboy games.

:hammer: Exactly right!

Aikman works for FOX, not the Dallas Cowboys. If you want a homer report on the game then go to www.DallasCowboys.com and read Mickey Spagnola's recap.

Troy is paid to be objective and call what is going on on the field, not what some fans want to hear. I actually WANT to hear his views on what is wrong with this team because I respect his opinion and objectivity.

I guess some of you would rather have a Cowboys' version of Joey Theezman or Sonny Jurgensen who paint everything their former team does in a positive light no matter how terrible they actually are.

I can guarantee you that when we start playing better Troy's comments will be more positive. I want the truth not some whitewashed homer BS (I can do that on my own thank you).

I think Aikman suxs as a color commentator...better suited for play by play I think...but his comments about the boys don't bother me...I just find him very, VERY boring...he starts speaking and I start yawning..his insights are usually worthless...I just don't find he brings anything to the table that couldn't be very easily replaced...and Buck thinks he is the color guy sometimes...I wouldn't be opposed to letting these 2 call high school games somewhere...they are just awful

I was wondering what game he was watching and what his personal agenda is. He must not want to look like a "homer" and doesnt have the brains to know it is better done subtly.

Maybe it's just me, but didn't that Aikman feller once play for the Cowboys? I seem to recall him being in a cup'la big games televised on TV, called the supa-bo? Now, I'm not sure of this, but if any of that is true, it might just possibly be that he has a keener eye for talent, skill and competition than some of us wanna-be QB's.

Sure we want to hear him cheering for the 'Pokes, like Don Meredith used to do on MNF, but Meredith had a reason to cheer. The Cowboys have been a monumental embarrassment since Aikman cleared out his locker.

I'm not sure I know what you mean...the Eagles did dominate the 3rd quarter...we entered with a lead and left behind...We'd turned the ball over again and again and gave them points...Bledsoe was terrible, as was the OL, and the defense was getting scorched for big play after big play...

So....weren't we lucky to still have the game in reach?

You know, the board has grown tremendously, and I'm happy for that, happy to see the younguns too, but it seems to me homerism has grown more and more ridiculous here since BP arrived, and I don't refer to the particular guy in this thread, but the constant excuses for any Cowboy who plays poorly.

We are a vastly improved team, but we are still far from being an elite team because we still have issues at OL, QB, and safety from time to time...when you don't have a genius OC or a guy like Philly does coaching and designing things for your defense, then you better have your guys play consistantly when on the road or you're going to struggle to win those games.

I wish we had a real OC and while I like Zimmer, I wish we had a more creative attack-minded DC.

I don't mind the arguments among the team players and coaches. Although I think it normally goes to the extreme in the pro/con side of things.

However the Aikman is a hater stuff just kills me. Some of the same people who complain about Theezman being a homer are the same ones that complain because Troy is not.

First off, I think Aikman does a great job broadcasting the games, and if Fox didn't think so too they wouldn't give him all that money.

Second, even though I'm a life long Cowboys fan, I think it was ridiculous how the fans treated Aikman at the end of his career with us. You would have thought that he had earned better than the boos he received when he was trying to play through a bad back that would have kept most QB's on the sideline. So, this idea that YOU love the Cowboys and TROY doesn't is just nonsense.

Third, I think Aikman doesn't come to any game with a bias in any direction, and that includes a bias in favor of the Cowboys. He thinks (rightly) that his job is to cover the game as if he never played for the Dallas Cowboys. I think THAT is what bothers a lot of people. They WANT him to be rooting for Dallas.

Finally, every time he said a positive thing about the Cowboys yesterday I thought about threads like this. I wish now I would have taken the time to write every one of them down because there were plenty. If all you heard were negative statements yesterday, you just had you hyper-sensitivity button turned on.

A couple that stood out to me were:

-When Bledsoe made some play (I forget now what it was) Aikman said, "That is the sign of a good QB, he does..."

-He complimented Dware numerous times

-He is always complimentary of Bill Parcells

-He said he considered the Dallas secondary to be in the top 3 of the NFL

And those are just the few I can remember at this moment.

For the love of...

Will this crap ever end? Aikman is the BEST NFL analyst on television. If anyone wants game commentary about the Cowboy games without the sting of truth for 60 minutes, just tune in whenever Daryl Johnston is calling the game. He's good at not offending viewers with the T-R-U-T-H.

The rest of us would like for Aikman to continue being the best there is. Is that so hard to comprehend? Does anyone know how a mute button works? Maybe it's broken. If you adjust the volume control, you'll get the same results.

How about just unplugging the television? That'll work every time. I mean, for pete's sake, Aikman doesn't have to kiss people's arses to do a great job. Sheesh!

Maybe it has to do with the fact that, in every game Aikman broadcasts, we manage to lose the game through mental mistakes, missed assignments or penalties. Maybe this shows Aikman what kind of a team we are and he is reporting what he sees.

Amen brother, Amen. Bad coaching, bad quarterback play and a disappointing defense led by the most overrated player in the NFL. Cowboys fans can argue with me all they want but you will be doing it from your usual spot: on the couch during the postseason watching other teams play. Instead of winning 5 games a year, they now win 8. Great job Parcells. That's worth the $25 million your making. Everything Aikman said was right. Dallas is just another average 8-8 team so sit back and enjoy and keep telling yourself that it wasn't Roy Williams' fault for the 120th time in a row. The Cowboys played two good team this year and were outcoached and outplayed. That's a sign of a team that's going to make noise in the playoffs. Face it, the team isn't even close and if you don't want to take my word for it, the Colts will let you know in a couple of weeks. Also, anyone defending Bledsoe's play doesn't know very much about football. Let me know when he goes on the road and plays a big game against a good team without looking like a high school quarterback. I'll be waiting.

Wait, you sound like a Cowboys fan with an actual brain. Where did you come from? You might want to get out of here though because these homers will just close their eyes and tell you how great this team is. Hey, remember that great defense? Where did that go. Hey, remember hearing it wasn't Drew's fault because they had no running game? What happened to that? Remember the one where Roy Williams was one of the best safties in the NFL? Wait, that never happened. That's just a rumor based on where he was drafted and his big hits against the mighty Titans when the team is ahead by 21 points.

and i'm sick of people thinking that because aikman was our star qb for so long, he can't be objective and say what he thinks cause some random fan will throw a tantrum that aikman is bashing the boys.

look around after the game - there were a LOT of us fans bashing the team, the coaches, players - across the board. why is aikman excluded of this "right" to bash?

why can't fans realize this and stop whining when someone dares to say something that's not positive about our team?

Nope. He was getting pressured and pulled down on the play:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMSFZRVGlP4

Thanks for posting the link. It was tighter than I remembered it, but the left side was open for a sprint to the endzone.

And to throw that pass on 3rd down when trailing by a field goal at home was about as bad a play as any Bledsoe made yesterday.

Thankfully, Aikman did not make a habit of those types of plays as Bledsoe seems to have done.

And boy did Smith miss on that blitz pickup. It also looked like Eric Williams fell down which allowed the blitzing linebacker to get through.

Troy's a good announcer, in part, because he doesn't gush about us every time he announces our games. It's called credibility.

Do I think he's a tad harsh on us at times? Yeah, I do. I really believe he's alert of the fact that people expect him to side with the Cowboys because of his loyalty to us. So, he naturally overcompensates and focuses on the negatives when maybe he doesn't have to.

But he's not bashing us or worshipping at McNabb's feet. McNabb played a great game. And we lost it on a bone-headed turnover.

What's Aikman supposed to say? McNabb got lucky throwing 354 yards and better send Bledsoe a thank-you card for getting him the win? Please. That hardly reflects what happened.

That game was a regular-season classic. The cliche of a heavyweight fight absolutely applied. So many weird things happened. But Philly ultimately made the plays and we didn't. Troy's announcing is going to reflect that.

Troy has often been critical of McNabb. Troy was quick to point out that other than McNabb yesterday that the rest of the Eagles offense and done nothing and that was because of the Cowboys defense.

Joe Buck... that loser has all my hatred

he's so anti-cowboys that it's sick.

one moment I remember from last year @ Washington was when they had just scored (again) and were cutting to a commercial and Buck goes "we're the redskins and we're killing the cowboys, we're happy! hee heeee!"

or some crap like that

made me want to body slam him from the booth to the field

Yep you can see that he is just eaten up with anger. Man, millions of dollars, Nascar team owner, Fox #1 color analyst, married with children, ring of honor and hall of fame inductee, the guy is just obsessed with how he was released, especially since the Cowboys QB's, since they released him, have all done so well.
