Cowboys vs. Dolphins Will Be the First Game in NFL History

Another interesting factoid.....the nerd who found that information....has NEVER been with a woman.

In practically the same sentence they claim that beating struggling teams by over 20 points proves nothing.

My natural response is, then why didn't all the winning teams beat them by over 20 points?

A Cowboys loss is so negative that it cancels out 5 consecutive victories.

Why is this so hard?

You go by current records always, so it can change as the season progresses.

Because, you know, THOSE ARE GENERALLY THE TEAMS IN THE PLAYOFFS THAT MATTER.

Okay, so why are they discussing whether or not the Cowboys can defeat a winning team when they won't know who the winning teams are until the end of the season?

I mean, until yesterday, the only winning team the Cowboys defeated were the Eagles.

But then the Rams win last night to move their record to 8-7 so now the Cowboys have defeated two winning teams and the analysts can't make that claim any more. That is, unless teh Rams lose next week. Then we are back to the narrative that the Cowboys only beat one winning team.

It's just ridiculous.

I'm going to crawl out on a limb and say that every single game is the first time in history that that game will be played under those exact same circumstances.

 

[CoachD]

The most BS stat of all time! You beat the teams in front of you and on your schedule it's not your fault the teams you play suck but in today's sports world the media has to come up with something anything to change their narrative. And just for the record the Cowboys have beaten 3 teams with a winning record at the time they played them, Jets, Seahawks, and the Eagles. There fixed it for ya.

The cowboys are a meme. A big revenue generating meme. Neither team can control who they play but there we are 34(?) wins the last 3 years. We just need to find a way to win in the playoffs which I don’t see happening with how the games are officiated and ran by the league.

We won’t win anything until we stop making $$$$

Just thought I’d share. Wild.

Twitter users are already calling it, “The Fraud Bowl” lol.

trust me it's not historic unless you're just making up narratives you're wanting something to be a record because the way they're judging teams should be on when you played them if not then we should get credit for the Rams now being above 500 literally when we played the Seahawks they were above 500 so they're moving the goal posts in order to keep a narrative fresh so they can talk about it this is not true both teams have more wins against teams 500 or above. It should be when you play the teams what were their record not well if they had a winning record when you played them we're not gonna count it but if they get a winning record later oh we're not going to count it dude this is one of the worst narratives floating around this year this should not be how it works it should be when you play that team because things change injuries and player turnover trades you have to go by them when you played them and we played many teams at the beginning of the season that were at or over 500 so I'm tired of this is not a fraud bowl it's only if you pick this narrative to choose to judge the game it is not a real stat because in my opinion it moves around too much..

giants game1 0-0, that 500 win
look I'm not gonna go through every game but I know we beat the Seahawks when they were above 500 and I know we beat the Eagles when they were above 500 and I better I can go find a couple more games at the beginning of the season where teams were above 500 this is dumb I mean it can move around too the the Miami Dolphins should get credit for the Denver game but at the time Denver sucked so which is it is it when you played them or now and keeping up with the current record because that to me is too much moving goal post and there is no rule there is no real stat it should be what their record was when you played them and I guarantee the Cowboys have at least three above 500 wins...

You go by right now. What is their record right now?

If you beat a team that's 0-3, but then they go on win streak and finish 10-7, you beat a team with a winning record that year.

Conversely, if you beat a team that 1-0 (like the Jets) and they turn out to be 5-12, then you didn't beat a winning team. And we beat them without Rodgers, which is conveniently being forgotten here.

So yes, a win against a winning or losing team can change as the season evolves, of course. The only really messy thing about this is a good team that might lose it's quarterback, which can stilt the record, but otherwise, it's pretty straightforward.

Again, this is hard why?

Rams are a winning team. Thats 2 wins. The poor guy who took all this time to research such a dumb stat wrote an entire article that is false news.

The only teams that really matter are San Fran, Philly, Dallas, Baltimore, Buffalo, Kansas City, and Miami. The rest are afterthoughts.

So at the moment, the Cowboys are 1-3.

So you get to decide what teams with winning records count towards the stat? Whatever makes you happy squirt.

Here is a hard core fact.

At kickoff on Sunday afternoon, the Dallas Cowboy will be 2-3 vs teams with winning records.

I'm interested in the divisional playoff round and beyond. The rest of this is rather meaningless.

Deer in headlights stare coming soon.

That's the Dak I know best.

 

[starman22]

Haha Fraud Bowl... I kinda like it. Even with being Cowboys fans we shouldn't take it all too seriously.

Fans really take this too personally. I like it too. Prove them wrong and let's go on a win streak right through the Super Bowl.

 

[starman22]

They literally just beat the Bills the week prior with Zack Wilson lol.

C'mon Marathon, Rogers started that game.

 

[starman22]

Act like an adult, and you will get treated like one. That's how I was raised.

Lol, that's rich.

 

[starman22]

To everyone who thinks we’re going to whitewashed by the Dolphins, going to give up 200 yds rushing and 400 yds receiving, why are you going to watch if it’s already a foregone conclusion in your minds that we’re absolutely going to lose the game?

I’m not saying you’re not entitled to you opinion, you most definitely are. I’m just curious as to that fact if you know the Cowboys are that bad, why watch.

For the same reason I watch every game that I can get from beginning to end. I am a fan of this team since 74. I always pull for the Boys to win. It has been a long time since I expect us to win. This team and many before it do not have that expectation. I really started to believe this year. This team is different, this team feels different, blah, blah, blah. Show us pessimists that the team is different. I really hope we are, we have waited a long time for another championship.

For the record, I don't think we will get "whitewashed", Dallas usually does well after a blowout loss.

 

[America's Cowboy]

Lol, that's rich.

The pessimists don't like it when they get the same treatment returned back in kind.

 

[Shane612]

Cowboys don't play the Dolphins very often, do they? The last one I remember is the Leon Lett fiasco during the Jimmy Johnson era.
.
Anyway....just enjoy the game.

Super Bowl VI is what got me hooked on the Cowboys, while living in San Diego.

Fact remains that the Cowboys are 2-3 vs winning teams. I don't really care what your agenda is. That's your issue.
