ESPN hates us this week

[Nav22]

10 of the 13 analysts pick the Chiefs to win. Eric Allen, KC Joyner, and Seth Wickersham pick the Cowboys.

Remember this if we do actually wind up losing. It'll be funny hearing the media bash us for losing a game we "should have won" against the lowly Chiefs who were 2-14 last year.

It's just like how we get slammed every offseason for "falling short of Super Bowl expectations" even though nobody actually picks us to win anything. I believe it was 2 out of 16 ESPN analysts who picked us to make the playoffs this year, and neither of those 2 had us getting to the NFC Championship.

i'm not surprised.

People still watch ESPN?

I'd honestly rather watch "The View". And I'd do that right after exploding my own ear drums and sticking red hot pokers in both my eyes.

It's just this week???

 

[Don Corleone]

If I could get my tv bill lowered for removing ESPN from the lineup, I would take it immediately.

 

[IAmLegend]

Good. I like being the underdog

 

[Idgit]

Even Vegas has KC by a point and halfish. Maybe I *am* a homer. I can't see Dallas not being favored to win this game given the QB imbalance alone. I guess we'll see, soon enough.

 

[KoRnyBrad]

Going to be a tough one with that Arrowhead crowd. They are a rough bunch and fired up this year with a new coach and QB.

People outside of Dallas doesn't see the "QB imbalance".

With the weather as it is (rain expected in afternoon), so if we get some by gametime, I expect KC to run the ball a ton. And they have Charles. His ypa is mind boggling. Just can't see the Boy's being able to stop the run consistently. Don't know what to expect from us offensively if it rains. Will Murray get a lot of touches? The TE"s more touches? Dez?

ESPN picking KC seems obvious with the weather.

I can't recall the last time we lost to a bus driver. Looking it up it was December 4th 2011.

It honestly doesn't happen a lot. KC is hyped up because they essentially shut out the Jaguars... who's #1 receiver would have a hard time seeing the field on our team. Not many teams win in the NFL with no passing game to speak of. Kansas City's defense also isn't all that it is being cracked up to be. They beat another one dimensional team who could only run the ball, and who turned the ball over twice. On defense for the jaguars, guess who is a starting cornerback... Alan Ball...

 

[Sarge]

I'm not going to be able to sleep now.

 

[Ren]

People who complain about no one picking us, are you expecting us to come out and play our best? if we do we win, but recent history suggests we probably won't come out playing our best.
When is the least time we just came out and beat and team we where supposed to beat without shooting our selves in the foot and making a game up if?

 

[Risen Star]

I'm not going to be able to sleep now.

The media picked us to lose a game. Haters.

What do you mean by "QB imbalance"?

 

[Sage3030]

What do you mean by "QB imbalance"?

Something like:

Romo generally performs like Rodgers and Manning and Smith generally performs like Dilfer.

who cares? ESPN sucks....don't waste your time bro.....kickoff in 3.5 hrs

 

[Fredd]

ESPN....pppfffffttttttt

I watch ESPN for two reasons

1. there is a game on
2. only to see the scrolling scores and see the news of other sports

I generally am doing this during commercials of other programs and then flip back after I see the score that I am waiting to see.

 

[SDCowboy]

What do you mean by "QB imbalance"?

Romo being a vastly better QB?

 

[Dion2288]

Makes sense actually. 8-8 teams are hard to predict. So, they're following the trend (see Seattle game last year).

Logic says we're a better team. Recent Cowboy craziness says nothing's changed. Let's see what happens today. That said, Cowboys win 24-13...logic prevails.
