I have a guy I work with that is a Commanders fan. He was telling me the same thing today about Dallas having “nearly” all their starters and the Rams playing all backups.

I’ll tell you why it was important to him that people think it is all of the Dallas starters against Rams backups: because it puts him in a no lose situation.

If Dallas plays well, he will be able to say, ”Of course they looked good with their starters against all the LA backups. If they didn’t win, Dallas would have sucked!”

If Dallas doesn’t play well, he will be in even better shape. He will be able to say, “Dallas’ starters couldn’t even beat the Rams second and third string guys!”

This guy thrives on trying to tear the Cowboys down and he gets a real kick out of it. He’s very good at finding those no win situations for Dallas.

When I mentioned that Dallas would have quite a few starters out like Elliott, Lawrence, Byron Jones, Martin, Smith, etc., it seemed to really escalate him because on Monday he wants to be able to use one of the two above angles to crap on whatever Dallas does. The truth that Dallas will have a lot of starters out simply ruins his post game rant plans, so he reacted more strongly to a simple statement than you’d think he would.

There is always an agenda when people freak out like that.

Yep. The agenda of Dallas playing starters against the Rams backups gives people all kind of storylines.

Dallas wins big: “of course they should have.”

Dallas barely wins: “They barely beat backups.”

Dallas loses: “They can’t even beat backups.”

Dallas loses big: “Hahahahhaah, they really suck!”

It doesn’t matter the outcome. There still is reason to bash Dallas... which is all a lot of people want.

Therefore, it is important to some people that it is starters vs. backups.

LOL......your the guy that freaked out at my claim that half our starters were not playing. It was a simple statement. Maybe you should take your meds. LOL
Wrong, it was your snarky arrogant reply which again you refuse to acknowledge. Whatever...you win. Now get back to telling us how awesome you are...see now that’s a sarcastic joke, please don’t.

If you read my posts both of you would know there is no agenda and I clearly stated why I believe in playing starters unless they are hurt but carry on with your own justifications and assumptions that you know other peoples motives or thoughts without actually asking them.

Of course I did I already clearly spell it out in this thread so perhaps reading comprehension is the problem here.

Who cares? Cowboys can't control that. If you're butt hurt over that just stay in your Mom's basement.

I apologize if I misinterpreted your comments but you’re agreeing with a dbag I’ve been arguing with who is clearly referring to me and what I said which is also what you happened to reference (with regards to not playing starters).

Yeah, I get it. It just reminded me of the guy I work with, so that’s what I was talking about. My first post talks about it but my second doesn’t.

No worries.
