News: BTB: Trolling The Nation During Ravens at Cowboys: "Of all the teams this season it has to

[NewsBot]

Savor every last detail of Sunday's game as you read through what other fans had to say as they watched the Dallas Cowboys beat the Ravens to go 4-0 against the once mighty AFC North.

This is the sixth Trolling The Nation post of the still young 2016 season, and with six of these posts we've already equaled the total number of posts from 2014. That's how special this season is.

If I had the time to put together a TTN post after every game, I would probably do it - who knows when we'll have another season like this?

What makes these posts so much fun is re-living the game from other fans' perspective, understanding how other fans view the Dallas Cowboys, witnessing the horror in people's reactions as they watch a couple of rookies shred one opponent after another, and reading how other fans grudgingly, angrily, or dejectedly realize that the 2016 Cowboys are pretty good.

Today's post is a little shorter than usual, but I hope not worse than usual; the early-game slot is not ideal for generating comments from other fans, as most of them are busy watching their own teams. Still, we do have some choice quotes on the menu today.

As usual, all quotes are taken directly from the open game threads from the SB Nation team sites indicated in front of every comment. Some minor edits have been made to improve the overall legibility of the quotes and to satisfy the site guidelines of our board, but no other changes have been made, no commentary added.

Ravens Elliott arguably the best pick in the draft right now. And people in Dallas think Jerry Jones is crazy. This is a good football team. At least on offense. Cowboys have gotten some steals. Especially OL. Draft some LB’s. If Jaylon Smith can turn into the player he was before his injury, Look out!

Ravens I love being right. I’m right about everything. I said Ravens front seven was the most under-rated. I was right! Ravens killed a loaded draft. These experts make me PUKE!

Eagles People need to stop hating on Dallas. Their 3rd best receiver is better than our ‘1st’. Their 2nd best receiver is better than our 2nd and 3rd combined— and their 2nd (Cole) receiver is average. They aren’t an elite team but they’re able to win the physical battles when it matters most, unlike our team (mainly offense). Gotta give respect where it’s due. They play with swagger while our boys are afraid to get hit.
Posted by rhudej22 on Nov 20, 2016 | 2:14 PM
Eagles What the heck? Why would we stop hating on Dallas?
Posted by TheBigTicket21 on Nov 20, 2016 | 2:14 PM
Eagles What's your point? It’s an Eagles board, hating Dallas is like breathing

Vikings I can’t even imagine how Elliott is going to make this D look when we play the Cowboys. My head hurts just thinking about it.

Steelers So... do we all want Baltimore to lose? I guess it helps with the division, but I caught so much crap last week from Cowboy fans, I almost can't help but want the Boys to lose.

Raiders Dak just continues to play at a high level, impressive, 66%, 2,300 yards, 14 TD's, 2 INT's, 8 y/a. Liked him in the draft and happy for him, but wish he was on another team though. I hate the boys.

Make that 15, just threw another TD.
