Curious... When division rivals play each other, who do you root for?

[dogunwo]

I got to go with anyone over the Skins:starspin

 

[theebs]

depends on the standings. I always will hope the outcome helps us in some way.

other than that, a tie is always a fun thing to root for!

 

[DallasCowpoke]

Wouldn't the obvious choice be the team with the worse record?

I dont think so, I just can't ever see myself pulling for the Skins at all

 

[DallasInDC]

Unless a loss by the team with the worse record would eliminate them (or put them a game or 2 from elimination) from the NFC East title/Playoffs.

It depends on the teams ahead of Dallas or tied with them....

 

[lurkercowboy]

It depends on which result would most help the Cowboys. I have rooted for the Commanders multiple times when it was in the best interest of the Cowboys. A recent example was the last game of the 2003 season when a Commander victory over the Eagles would have given Dallas the division title.

 

[Stautner]

It's not a matter of who I root FOR, it's a matter of who I most ardently root against.

My leaning is to ALWAYS root against the Commanders though. If I'm in a position where the Cowboys need the Commanders to win a game, I just won't watch the game.

 

[Danny White]

I always root against the Skins first, the Eagles second and Giants third.

I've been to some Skins vs. Eagles games, though, and it's darn near impossible to root "for" either of them.

 

[Rampage]

whichever teams win would benefit the cowboys

 

[lurkercowboy]

Speaking of Commanders/Eagles, weren't they playing the day Pearl Harbor was attacked?

 

[Hostile]

Prior to 9/11 I had a friend named Marc (49ers fan) who happens to hate ASU and Notre Dame. They were playing on the upcoming Saturday and I asked him who he was going to root for.

He said, "terrorists."

I wouldn't reply the same way after 9/11, but at the time....

 

[jackrussell]

None of them....I only root for the Cowboys to take care of their own business. If they do...none of the rest matters. And if they don't, again, none of the rest matters.

 

[CowboyMike]

Giants over Skins
Giants over Eagles

Eagles and Skins... since they can't both lose, a tie. Although I guess I'd rather see the Skins lose. But I love seeing the Eagles lose, seeing McNabb and the rest of his media darlings fall...

 

[Hostile]

My definition of a perfect Sunday is simple. The Cowboys beat one division rival and the other 2 division rivals also lose. I don't care which we beat or who beats the other two. That's a great day.

That's kinid of naive' - you can't expect Dallas to have 14-2 seasons with no confereence losses regularly - so most seasons it does matter how well the other teams do.

1. Giants - Once the Cardinals left, they have always been the least odious.

2. Eagles - This is hard, and it depends on the standings.

3. Commanders - I don't care if they are 0-15. I want the sixteenth loss.

Nope...reality. I didn't say I expected Dallas to have 14-2 seasons regulary with no conference losses...you did.

Too many people like to take the back door approach to a championship...and it just doesn't work.

Just like life, take care of your own business, things tend to work out fine. Sit around and hope and pray for another's failure...you'll be soon to join them.

:laugh2:

The most honest answer given.

 

[Champsheart]

I do not root for any of them, just who do I want to lose the most.

It all depends on the Cowboys and the standings.

Giants - :shoot3:

Eagles - :chainsaw:

Commanders - :yousuck:

Whatever helps the Cowboys!!!!!!!!!!:starspin
