Favorite Cowboys Nemesis?

[DasSchnitzel]

I thought it would be fun to discuss other players we each consider a true Cowboys nemesis. These are the guys that almost always find ways to produce and keep it competitive, or at least they seem to, whether the stats back it up or not. The guys we have played enough that there is some history.

For me, my number one Cowboy Killer is Eli Manning, hands down.

I've watched Eli play against Dallas for his whole career. I've trash talked him for most of it. But it feels like, no matter how bad a year he or the entire Giants organization is having, there's a good chance he will do well in our games. He was the first QB to win in ATT Stadium. He threw the pass to OBJ that won't stop getting replayed ever. You can't even count the guy out of a superbowl run until he's got like 8 losses, and I've had to watch him win 2 of them. I've been to one Dallas game and it was at home against NY (Dallas won, but still. I picked that game for a reason.)

Truth be told, for all my talk I'll miss the era of the Eli duels when he finally hangs it up.

So who's your nemesis?

There can be only one: Carson Wentz. The messiah of the eagles and Smiter of the Cowboys.

Tiki Barber was brutal against us for a while if I remember correctly.

By my count, only 2 wins in 5 games against Dallas, and 0 playoff victories on his resume.

Not a blip on my radar yet.

Not a favorite, but I'll go with the referees. Week in and week out smiter of the Cowboys. If I'm not mad about what they called us for, I'm mad about what they didn't call our opponents for.

I got the joke, but why pass up an opportunity to remind everyone that Wentz loses to Dallas more often than not?

Never watched them play but I can see how they'd be a nemesis since they were good, winning superbowls, and celebrating enough to cause the excessive celebration rule.

I hated Joe Theismann and John Riggins.

I didn't say I didn't respect them.. Those Skins teams in the Early 80's were dominant but as a true Cowboys fan...they were a Nemesis...and they usually beat us without issue.

Aaron Rodgers because his cheating, jag offensive linemen make him better than he really is.

Rodgers has always been weak minded......things don't go his way he acts like a 3 year old.

How dare you sack the Great Aarons Rodgers. Then the yellow hanky........

I'm so tired of people thinking he's a genius because he can count to 12 and snap the ball fast. He's just taking advantage of a rule to cause flags in a way that's clearly not to the spirit of the rule.

The rule exists to make sure the defense doesn't have 12 guys and everyone else is off the turf and not interfering. It isn't to catch guys who are sprinting to the sideline but arrive one pace late.

It's just terrible sportsmanship in my opinion and he gets applauded for it. There's nothing sporting about it. It's being an anal prick about the fine print.
