A Touch of Hostility...Week 17

[Phoenix]

The Eagles didn't even try today. Next week will be a different Eagles team.

Hos,

Respectfully, I disagree with that. The Eagles WANTED to win, always. They would have secured #2 seed and a bye with the win, am I right?

The Eagles ALWAYS want to beat us. Didn't try? ha ha. What a laugh. They tried, they came up short. Just as they will for the third time this season next week.

We aren't losing again. Playoff curse is OVER. We are going back to the Super Bowl, and we WILL WIN IT.

MARK MY WORDS.

But, again, the Eagles WANTED this win today. You are so wrong about that.

But HAAAAAAAA HAAA HAAAA TO THE EAGLES!

Next week, you guys will lose even worse.

Which broom are you going to use to sweep up the shavings? The broom that swept the Eagles or the broom that swept the Skins?

The team got it done.

I see some of the best football being played by this team.

Hop on...something special going on around here.

 

[AtomicDog]

I am in this same mindset. No way they mailed it in until they knew they were dead.

I know that you know what Philly had to gain by winning. Enjoy your posts touch of Hostility posts.

Romo finished the season throwing for the third most yards in the NFL. Just a little F.Y.I. 26 TDs vs 9 INTs

I wasn't saying I believe that. I was saying that is what we will hear all week.

I love that emoticon. I should add it.

And even then they left their starters in.

The only people saying the Eagles mailed it in are people who desperately want and even need the Cowboys to not succeed.

It's embarrassing to see people bending over backwards to dismiss what was yet another very good game by the Cowboys. The Cowboys have rough enough task beating a division rival three times in a year, two of them back to back. But if they play anywhere close to how they've played over the last 3 weeks, they're going to have a very good shot at getting that elusive playoff win.

Now can we celebrate and be happy?

Especially if we finally end the drought and win.

great post. You are slowly redeeming yourself for not believing anymore and starting to believe the december thing after the giants loss. :laugh2:

I will hook you up with some mojo. Because what you said.

Nice job Hos. This has been a fun year no matter how it ends up. The doubters have valid reasons to doubt and the believers have valid reason for believing. In my opinion this team grew up as the season progressed. Is it a perfect team? No. Is it good enough to earn our sixth Lombardi trophy? Yes!

it is clear that Hos was speaking through the eyes and minds of the mediots with much of what he was saying. he was merely expressing the oppressive ways of those mediots......they cant help but try to hold us down with their mental thumbs.

 

[Hostile]

great post. You are slowly redeeming yourself for not believing anymore and starting to believe the december thing after the giants loss. :laugh2:

I didn't believe it after the Chargers loss either.

In fact, after week 6 the Broncos were 6-0 and had beaten us. We were 4-2. I bet a Broncos friend of mine 5 bucks that we would go further this year than the Broncos. That meant it was a push if neither team made the post season.

He owes me 5 bucks. You think I don't want to see him tomorrow? He won't answer his phone tonight.

Previous seasons do not matter in a current season. I'll stand by it until I die.

 

[Biggems]

btw, i dont like em, but the Texans seemed to have been dealing with a lot of demons as well....and it seems that just as we have been exorcizing ours, they have been doing the same over the last 4 weeks. their season is over, but it looks as if the future of professional football in Texas is looking brighter after today.

Your not fooled easily?

Check out what is going down. Cowboys arn't. Fools.

They are.

I can almost agree with this......except for a few things. If you have a top player get severely injured near the end of a season, it definitely affects the following season. Also, if a great player retires, it has an impact on the following season.

Also, we choked last year. He bit the big one. It did have an effect on this year. We got rid of dead weight and replaced them with chemistry, hard work, and leadership. This includes players and coaches.

In a way, the previous seasons did affect this one....all the scrutiny, all the failure, all the disappointment, brought the team closer, made them hold themselves and each other accountable. It made 53 become 1.

Now can we celebrate and be happy?

Actually, not yet. Goal number one has been accomplished. The Dallas Cowboys won the NFC East for the 17th time, and their 21st Division crown overall.

Goal number two has been accomplished too, we won after Thanksgiving and put aside the can't win in December and January myths that have haunted this team since 1997.

Just one note, if it was myths, then how did it haunt us since '97?

Now, we have got to end the playoff drought and beat the Eagles back to back. You had to know that before the game this was a big game and after the game it wouldn't matter until we win in the post season. Please don't tell me you didn't realize that would be the case. You had to know. It has been the story all year.

Atlanta, @ Philly, not even beating the unbeaten Saints was proof. All of them were big games until we won them. Once we won, there has always been a caveat. Why would today be any different?

The criticism and cynicism is valid. We have not won a playoff game since December 28, 1996. That is 13 years, 6 days and counting. In that period of time we have lost 6 straight post season games. Of course there will be doubts.



It was always a big game that would change minds until we won it. Then it wasn't a big game because it wasn't in December. Then a win in December wasn't enough because nothing was on the line. Today a lot was on the line. What sound do you hear behind the cheering? If you say grinding gears you are right. Today's win, even though it was a dominant shut out that delivered an NFC East Crown and at least one home game in the post season was not a post season game already, so gears will strip.

The Eagles didn't even try today. Next week will be a different Eagles team. Dallas has to prove it in the post season, winning the NFC East doesn't mean anything. You're going to hear all of that and more. The thing is, it isn't wrong.

On the positive side, the Cowboys know it more than any of us. It is time to stop saying "these Cowboys say all the right things." Yeah they do, but they are backing it up too. It is time to acknowledge that.

The wheels could come off and we could lose next week. If that happens you will not be able to stop the howling. It is inevitable. The entire season will no longer matter. That is what I am going to disagree with. It will end up getting me labeled a homer all over again. That is fine. I really don't care. I say the regular season always matters. .

Actually some of us said these were big games but it ultimately mattered what we did in the playoffs.

Even this past week, prior to todays game, a thread asked what a win today would mean. I said it'd mean we'd have to win our next game or we go home.

So yes, it is good to win and get the late-in-the-regular-season monkey off our back (and hopefully for good). But I've consistently said it's about winning in the playoffs.

And if by some chance we do lose next week, then sorry, but it'll still be a major disappointment. Making the playoffs is good. Winning the division is very good. But if we yet again fail to win even one playoff game, then that will be huge, as would having the season end at the hands of not only the Eagles but also another divisional team we swept in the regular season.

Now hopefully that will all be a moot issue and we will beat the Eagles again next week and finally get that elusive postseason win and then hope to move on even farther. But if we do lose next week then some can take all the good they want out of this season, but ultimately we'll be in the same place as we were going in - still looking for some postseason success.

They have the chance now to do something about it. We've finally finished strong down the stretch for the first time in over a dozen years. Now we need to finish it and break down the door.

 

[Hostile]

I didn't say it wouldn't be a disappointment if we lose next week. Not once, not ever. Didn't even intimate it.

 

[TNCowboy]

They controlled the clock and did not turn the ball over. I have never understood why we can't acknowledge that and be considered honest or realistic.

The Cowboys dominated TOP in that game. They lost primarily because of the same stupid mistakes that have plagued this team for years.
