Expect the worse when the Cowboy's meet the Raiders tonight!!!

Still better than running a bed & breakfast with Adam, but I do respect your lifestyle choice.

See there is the sarcasm to avoid the issue. Hes so adorable now that hes pegged. I really hope I don't hate life like this in 10 years.

You and me both. I really hope he didn't have a personal tragedy or something that causes him to act this way. I would def feel like a jerk in that case. My aunt completely changed when my uncle passed away.

OTOH, optimism for the future is something to be made fun of in his world and quite frankly thats gotten real real old.

Leave psychoanalysis to the professionals, Fuz. And it goes without saying that you're hardly a ray of optimism around here. BTW, how does slapping down jday's juvenile attempt at thought control mean that I'm grim about the future?

What issue, Columbo?

Darn my objectivity. How will I ever live it down??

Now I hate life?! Seriously, book yourself into the nearest mental health clinic, post haste. All those one-sided arguments with electrical appliances have fried your brain.

 

[RoadRunner]

The only thing that could really go wrong would be injuries. As long as that doesn't happen then whatever else happens in this game really doesn't matter much. All I want to see is a crisp frist series by the starters on both sides of the ball, and then just who makes a play or two out of the guys fighting to make the active roster.

One cannot say: 'here are our monsters', without immediately turning the monsters into pets.

Still better than running a bed & breakfast with Adam, but I do respect your lifestyle choice.

Not only is Adam smarter than you bbgun. He's got a bigger ****.

We see these lame, preemptive attempts to modify the behavior of fellow fans every year. "If things go wrong tonight, don't you dare notice it, whine, or jump to conclusions. But if things go right, book a hotel room in Miami!"

*plonk*

When my vacuum cleaner breaks and spews dirt all over the floor I yell 'DAMNIT' Check.

When I hear some political hack on the radio say something obnoxious I might yell "are you ****ing serious!!!??!?!!" Check.

When someone says anything positive about future outcomes, bb will treat them like they're stupid, post nonsequitor pictures and then resort to sarcasm rather than real discussion when called on it. Check.

Youre like a robot now that I see it.

In light of CBZ's passing, it is in extremely poor taste to continue this pointless tit-for-tat any longer. You win.

I have no idea why you do what you do. I do on the other hand definitely see a pattern of behavior. Those are two different things.

bbgun on various topics

Q: How are the Cowboys going to do this year?

bb: They are going to suck. Staubach and White could win more games than this team by themselves.

Q: How are our armed forces going to fare overseas?

bb: Were going to suck. The special forces that invaded Panama in 1984 could have won this by now without weapons.

Q: How did you like your breakfast today?

bb: it sucked. In 1976 eggs and bacon were golden ambrosia served by the most beautiful women in bed where they promptly joined you.

Q: How do you like this kindergarten class?

bb: I hate them. In my day, we didn't get to use calculators and they beat us after arriving at school having to walk 5 miles through snow.

Q: bb, don't you think thats a bit excessive?

bb: I am the epitome of objectivity. Youre just a

Read in the Oakland papers that they have been working on alot of blitz packages under new D coordinator Marshall. Part of me wants to see that, looking for any improvement on picking up the blitz, a problem for years. The other part of me really doesnt want to see Romo go down in a meaningless game.

It's our first preseason game so there will be the inevitable mistakes, but that is what preseason is for. Get them out of the way now.

 

[rynochop]

I have no idea what this thread is about, and didnt bother to read the initial post...but... The Detroit Lions were 4-0 last preseason.

Just thought i'd throw that out there... again.

Mort said the contract is work 6.5 million total. $1.5 in 2009, $5 million in 10'.

I know, I know, I know. You are probably hoping this game will be the cold smooth tasting beer that chases that bitter cold shot that was 44 to 6 at the hands of the Eagles out of your mouth. But the truth is, especially if Tuesday's practice was any indication, tonight very well may get ugly. But for all of you who felt that Wade was soft in past camps, that aforementioned ugly is largely the result of him listening to your pleas for more intensity. These guy's are tired. They are sore. The rookies brains likely feel as though they are going to explode. Chances are this will be a game filled with mental errors, misreads, bad timing, and poor execution. Now, I'm not certain on that point, but it would be a mistake to expect otherwise.

But just because it's probably going to be ugly, doesn't mean there won't be anything worthy of watching. Rather than looking for a great team effort, look for great individual efforts. That's what Wade will be looking for. Watch for those guy's who realize their chances to shine are limited and give this game everything they got, regardless of how little the win actually means. Watch for those guys competing for the last spot of their perspective position. There are more battles in this camp than there has been in a long time with the Cowboy's which should generate some fervency from specific players and yield some pretty good results of players who, at least, reach benchwarmer status. Which is exactly what the Cowboy's organization had in mind when they forgoed the temptation to trade up for specific players and actually drafted 12 rookies.

My main concern for tonight is the over-reaction we are likely to see tomorrow if thing's don't happen the way we need them to in the regular season. Don't be an idiot and lament the miscues of Romo and Roy Williams. The fact that Roy will likely be shadowed by the highest paid CB in the business, Nnamdi Asomugha, may contribute to their lack of connections. Don't crucify the rookie LB's who all are converting from different positions played in college. Take it easy on the rookie QB who spent the vast majority of his career handing the ball off. And let's definitely not jump off the nearest bridge, should DeCamallis Dallas Cowboy's debut as special team's coach, fall flat because rookies bite on the temptation to move out of their lanes to go directly after the returning ball carrier.

This football team is a work in progress. You wouldn't judge an artist by a painting 1/4 of the way finished. You wouldn't judge an author by a book's rough draft. You wouldn't judge a president by his first year in office. So, please, don't judge these Cowboy's by their first game.

Great post man, I agree

Jday looks like a prophet for the game this evening....except that our first team did not suck. Other than that (and Hurd), the OP was pretty accurate. There's going to be some woodshedding going on this week.

Just so I'm clear, I'm not telling anyone how to feel; I'm more or less telling you what you will look like to me mid-knee-jerk: you will look like an idiot. The good news is you won't be alone.
