*** Appreciation for the members in the NFL Playoff Game threads ***

Great weekend for football and IMHO the football talk in the playoff threads are way more enjoyable than most because it’s pure football talk. I have busy kid weekends but these threads make games more fun! I do this snd text my brothers, immersive experience

I think the best part was you did not have the normal ups and downs you would have for your favorite team because, at least for me, I was not attached to any of the teams so it made it easy to just appreciate the great plays by both teams in each game.

I loved it and I appreciate the mods for monitoring the threads. While I understand this is a Cowboys forum, it does get old when you want to discuss a particular playoff game (in the appropriate gameday thread) and it continually turns into Dak and/or Cowboys chatter.

I do not usually follow game day threads for non-Cowboys games except to deal with moderation issues, but I had several members request that I help keep the Cowboys comments that are flooding the rest of the site from infecting those threads, so I decided to enforce the no-Cowboys comments rule for those threads.

In doing so, some members of course could not help themselves but post the same thing we have all heard in thousands of other posts in hundreds of other threads (as if one uninfected thread was going to convince the Cowboys to do anything), so several members had to be banned from the threads.

On the bright side though, it looked like a lot of members had a lot of fun and enjoyed those threads a lot, which is something we as Cowboys fans all needed the first week after the Cowboys season ended.

Most importantly, this was one of the best playoffs weekends I can remember for watching great football games played by great teams. It sucks the Cowboys were not a part of it, but this weekend was amazing.

I would like to thank all of the members who followed the rules (even eventually) because you allowed me to spend more time watching the awesome games!

I would also like to thank the staff members who helped keep those threads on-topic and Cowboys-posts free!

This was a great weekend for football fans in general and I hope the teams you were rooting for won. We can only hope next week is half as good as the games played this weekend.

I hope everyone who posted in those threads and avoided Cowboys comments had a great time chatting in them!

So ... what was the final tally on posters banned from the playoff threads? I got blocked from the Green Bay-San Fran for responding to a comment from a poster who said Jerry Jones would be looking for the next Deebo Samuel. I said he found his Donovan McNabb in Quincy Carter, and I got the book.

You guys weren't playing, were you.

It's all good, dough. I always enjoy those game day threads. Helps pass the time away when watching the game with others - even online.
