I was sure everybody would be beating their chest and talking about how we suck and how they are going to kick our arse, ect......
We aren't stupid, and not all of us are homers. We respect good opponents. Ironically, outside of New England before Brady went down, Dallas fans are the most typical fans to be predicting a SB win year after year. I'm not being a dick, it's just true. Even after your SB years in the 90's, most of you guys thought they were great even during the 5-11 season.

There is another talking about how TO makes Romo look good and that Romo is not going to be posting all these 100+ QB ratings once TO retires.
Although nobody can say for sure yet, it's probably a fact. Look at the careers of every QB he played with before and after he was there. Dramatic differences.

I do not think that is an out of line thought.
We have yet to see how well Romo does without a stud receiver like Owens out there. We all saw how well Aikman did without Irvin. It wasn't pretty. There are not many quarterbacks who can elevate average talent.
Look at the Aikman stats though. He was extremely irrelevant. All the great squads you guys put out had a wicked defense, elite receivers, and one of the greatest running backs of all time. You also had a killer TE and O-line. Even with all that, Aikman's stats from year to year were very sub-par. I never understood all the Aikman love, even from Dallas fans. If he had played anywhere else, you'd agree he was a scrub.
With the crew he had to work behind, he should have been top 3 or top 5 in every stat, and he's not even remotely close. I'm not 100% sure, but I'd bet that outside of playoff win %, which was nothing to do with him, he might not be ranked in the top 20 in any QB stat.

At least they're pretty humble.
The Eagles MB, OTOH, they're almost always predicting they'll blow us out when we play them.
And Dallas fans almost perenially claim to be the best, and just have off games. Dallas hasn't won a playoff game in 12 years, so for at least 12 years, you can't be mentioned among the best. Great teams win when it matters.
