All of a sudden, I have a bad feeling because I was listening to Maddog radio

[thunderpimp91]

Doggy is great...

Even if his non biased opinion triggers you.

My issue is his “non biased opinion” doesn’t make any sense…

“cowboys lose focus because the division is lost”

Huh? The cowboys lose focus being 2 games back but Washington should bounce back at 4-7? How does that make sense?

“Cowboys are banged up”

They have about as clean of an injury report as you’ll see this time of year.

“Washington plays well on Thanksgiving”
They’re 2-2 over the last decade so I guess that’s true….sort of?

The Cowboys were winning 13-0 in 2005 with 4 minutes left in the game when Maek Brunell completes a 39 yard pass to Moss.

The Cowboys have the ball and they get a few 1st downs, looks like the Cowboys are going to win. On 3rd and 8 Bledsoe completes a 17 yard pass and that the game....except Flozell Adams held. So on 3rd and 18 Bledsoe completes a pass to Witten for 13. They punt.

The Skins now have the ball on their 30 yard line with a little over two minutes left. Then the only thing that can't be allowed to happen?...happens!

Santana Moss beats his coverage and Brunell throws a bomb to Moss.....70 yards, TD.

The Cowboys get the ball back with plenty of time. Tyson Thompson had a great kickoff return so they start on the Skins 48 yard line....and go 4 and out.

Those are the games that are slowly killing me.

Yep....that's the game talking about. Classic example records mean nothing in these divisional games.
BTW....excellent memory

I haven't seen a single Washington game yet all season, so I don't have a clue what they are really about. Actually I'm kind of enjoying the thrill of a little suspense, but I seriously doubt it will be a close game.

That was 2005.

The Dallas/Washington game you’re talking about was the second game of that season with both team’s records at 1-0… so yeah, the record meant nothing.

Dallas was expected to be better than Washington that season, so you could say expectations mean nothing in this rivalry, which was your point, I think.

Santana Moss caught 2 deep balls for TD’s, if I remember correctly, and spoiled the night (MNF) for Dallas because they were inducting someone into the ring of honor (I can’t remember who).

You’re 100% right though, records and expectations mean nothing in divisional games. In 1989 Dallas won 1 game and lost 15… the one win? Against a deep and talented playoff bound Washington team.

Maddog radio, XM and he said the Commanders will be spunky in this game. They’ll bounce back, especially with Sam Howell on national TV.
The Commanders play well on Thanksgiving, etc. the Cowboys are beatable on Thanksgiving lately for whatever reason.
Cowboys, a little bit banged up as well.
Maybe the Cowboys also lose a little focused they realize the division is lost.
Said it’s gonna be a real close game.

This is your shtick.

People use Dallas being our opponent's Superbowl as a put down a lot. That game helps me relate to the feeling. Washington was good once & the rivalry was real.

He must have been forced to listen at work or somewhere because no one endures that voice voluntarily.

I watched part of a First Take episode with SAS and Mad Dog.
First time I recall seeing SAS being so quiet while being outbarked by Mad Dog.
Two peas in a pod.

And an enema…….just to prep for all that binding stuffing to come

That Washinton pass defense is truly awful.
They'll be pumped and anything can happen.
Howell is better than some think, as long as Wash. can establish the run.
But Dallas would have to come out really flat--on Thanksgiving national TV no less--for Wash to have a shot.

 

[nightrain]

Listening to mad dog is akin to drinking mad dog....self-inflicted wound.

 

[loublue22]

They play us tough, they ain't the Giants.

You love you some Howell

Maddog is a tennis guy...lol

 

[XXLMike]

Anybody knocking mad dog has no clue about sports radio.

The reason 24 hours sports talk works in this nation is because of Dog and Mike Francesa. They are the pioneers of sports talk during drive time.

Cowboys are "Banged up?"Id say we are about as healthy as could possibly be.

The rest of the post is juts nonsense. Hey, Ill tell you what... go put down a grand on Washington... that will tell you how much you actually believe in your "Feeling.""

 

[CowboyStar88]

Nobody cares what you have to say Giants fan. If Dallas loses they lose and it will be because of their mistakes.

 

[DallasInDC]

Settle back ... Dolly Parton is singing at half-time, the Salvation Army Thanksgiving Kettle is out, and Dallas is at HOME!

But without Zeke, it doesn't have the same affect.

 

[817Gill]

This guy lol, like clockwork

 

[Doomsday]

Dallas has been taking care of business in the division in recent years, I don't expect today to be any different.

Our defensive line has dominated in recent matchups vs them as well.
