ESPN MacMahon: Witten on Skins: 'This is the Super Bowl for them'

[firehawk350]

Did you really just go there... The annual offseason champions pointing fingers at others for being homers?

You guys never lose it's always the refs. On Sunday half your fanbase will be blaming Zorn and Snyder and the other half will be blaming the refs. If you still had Gibbs i'm sure he'd even send some tapes to the league office just for good measure.

Don't bring this weak **** to our board please, have a good long look in the mirror the next time you're tempted to go down this road :laugh2:

Hey, you want to claim it's everybody envying you and I just don't think that's the case. Maybe I can get ESPN to host a poll this offseason and see why everybody hates the Cowboys but do consider this in the meantime. If it is because of your success, then why do the Steeler fans also hate the Cowboys?

Where's that little red troll, Santana Moss?

41 is going to be waiting.

AND

41 is going to shut him down, for the third time.

I can't wait.

let's stop talking about NFL football altogether then

Well, he's got a point. That was a dumb comment by Witten. If the Skins get up for these two games a year like it's our Super Bowl, that's 2 more games a year than as does he. So he's either giving us a compliment by saying this or saying that getting fired up for a game is stupid.

and conveniently after a win against a team who beat us

And as Witten stated, this is their Super Bowl.

The Commanders are irrelevant and I detest the Giants and Eagles more.

it might be stupid, might

if Fred Smoot didn't declare that playing Dallas a couple of year's ago was their Super Bowl

and I highly doubt you would be here after 6 straight losses

In that case, I will take a look at the interviews. I've never seen an interview with him laughing. I've never seen him happy. It doesn't really matter, I don't hate him or dislike him and there are a bunch of things he does which is commendable (I bought my brother a Witten jersey). I'm just saying that based on the very little I've seen of him on a personal level, I wouldn't want him to come hang out over my place.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think he'd be the life of the party either.
I just don't think "arrogant" is the right word for him. Leave that for the TO's, Ochocinco's and Phillip Rivers of the world.
Wittens' pros significantly outweigh his cons. Pun intended...

maybe because they became big rivals in the 70s and we beat them in the Superbowl in 95.....

Why? He could have said "their biggest game of the season" instead.

we never played NFL football, so by your standard, we can't speak on anything related to it

Witten's the one that made the comment, not me.

 

[Idgit]

I'm not saying there's not a broad spectrum of fans, but there's enough brash and idiotic Cowboy fans in enough places to grate on everybody's nerves.

You can say that again.

 

[BIGDen]

Yes. Because if they haven't played in it, they don't know what it's like and saying that makes him look pretty dumb.

Right...

So if any player, writer, fan, or whatever says "This is like the Super Bowl or World Series" or whatever to a team, they "look dumb". It's an expression used to indicate that this is a big game for the Commanders because it's a rivalry and probably as big a game as it gets for them since their season is basically over. Thus, it's like "A Super Bowl" for them...

Understand?

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Witten's the one that made the comment, not me.

what does that have to do with him not being qualified to judge on Super Bowl matters? the same way you and I aren't qualified to judge on NFL matters, since we've never played

but still do?

 

[terrifNick21]

They need to change the expression then. Like I said in another post, say it's their biggest game of the season. Not "their Super Bowl" because Dallas isn't all that anyway.

Because even after they win a SB the Cowboys are still the main headline in the NFL :laugh2:.

And where did i say it was because of our success again?

 

[firehawk350]

I've never seen that. Care to provide a link?

 

[firehawk350]

maybe because they became big rivals in the 70s and we beat them in the Superbowl in 95.....

That might be true, but I don't think they really care about 95 all that much. I don't harbor a hatred for Miami or Oakland.

 

[firehawk350]

Maybe it's more Dallas thinking their better than they are again? A little more hubris?

Regardless, I think that's the biggest copout of them all (maybe not but still). Somebody beat you fair and square? Well, we're their super bowl.

 

[Rampage]

That might be true, but I don't think they really care about 95 all that much. I don't harbor a hatred for Miami or Oakland.

you're also a skins fan so.....

You're a Newbie here, let's see if you show your face Sunday evening or will you be like some not all of the Commander posters here and only show up after a win.:starspin
