I think we want Buffalo to win it all

[goshann]

I'm wondering how much of Washingtons run this year is "lightning in a bottle" and if they can duplicate it next year?

It seems Washington has a a lot of close games, and more than a couple where the literally won within the last minute.

Just wondering how many times the ball will bounce their way next year to keep them in...

They will go about 500 next year

Wishful thinking.

As a Cowboys fan it is so hard to figure out who I want to win. Normally, I would not care, but now I am thinking only about what is best for my Cowboys.

What if Washington wins? Can you imagine the Dan Quinn stories? Quinn leaves Dallas, signs a bunch o Dallas free agents and wins the Super Bowl?! Oh man that would be a shock to the system. The downside is it might send a message to the rest of the Cowboys players that if they want to win they have to leave Dallas and we will see another talent drain in 2025 - which we might see anyway. I personally would not want to see these players thinking this way because the players who want to win that much are the players I want to keep. The ones who don't care are the ones I want to leave.

Quinn turning around the Commanders in 1 year would be one of the biggest stories in sports. #2 draft pick to Super Bowl winning has to be some kind of record. I think it's a long shot though.

What if the Eagles win? I am not sure this has any positive effect on Dallas. The Eagles are a team of good players. The worst player on the offense is probably Hurts. If they win it let's the league know that you can win with a mediocre QB if you surround him with tons of talent. This might encourage Jerry to stick with Dak. This is the worst outcomes for Dallas.

I don't think Buffalo or KC winning effects the Cowboys at all. But it does take the NFC East teams out of the headlines. I think the more headlines the Cowboys division rivals get the better it is for Dallas only because it would have to irritate our owner and GM to no end. The question is, does this irritation convince him to change his ways? I don't think so. After 30 years of watching everyone else win the Super Bowl I think Jerry is going to continue being Jerry.

I don't' want to see an NFCE rival win the Super Bowl, but I think Washington winning would have to stick in Jerry's craw the most.

Buffalo is in the Championship game again while our drought is now the longest in the NFC by fifteen years.

I'd take Allen any day over Dak, and so would you.

Not necessarily Cowboys5217....I'm ok with you having your thoughts.....you don't get to give me mine. But if we had Josh Allen, I don't think you could dismiss the other flaws on this team for a Josh Allen to have to deal with. If you want Josh Allen to be Captain America, that's ok and you can hail him all you want even when his passing yardage and rushing was low yesterday (had team help).....and that's a good thing when you have a team......except here in D.

They got outplayed yesterday
Lucky
Chiefs will knock them out again

....it's coming.

I'm definitely rooting for the Bills. It'd be nice to see a change in the Super Bowl lineup.

Plus, their WR Shakir is a Boise State alum, so I have an extra reason to cheer them on.

Not that I disagree with this section of your post, I'm just wondering how hardening his heard and heightened determination manifests itself? My guess is by using his proven failing offseason SOP.

I agree completely Jones' standard operational procedure will remain unchanged. He can shuffle his front office personnel around but he has been doing that decades. His replacing himself as GM would be the only tangible change in his usual SOP.

I don't believe Jerry is capable of feeling embarrassment. How many times have our division rivals made it to the championship game and super bowl this century? This isn't just bad luck, it's bad management.

I do not believe it either. Jones does get flustered. Emotion is clearly visible all over his face whenever the team loses or someone throws an unwanted question at him. Episodes of embarrassment? That is rare.

Emphasis on: "This isn't just bad luck, it's bad management." Many on the outside looking in understand a true shake up in top management (a common practice in every form of business) might change the franchise's trajectory for the better through fresh and innovative perspective.

On the other hand, Jones only sees bad luck. For him, trial-and-erroring for 30 years is not bad management. It is bad luck in that, the coaching and player acquisition he has endorsed as smart moves, have never successfully combined into actual championship contending teams.

It is not his fault that his football intelligent actions have not rendered postseason divisional, conference championship or Super Bowl wins (or even appearances for the latter two). Everyone else is to blame. He bought the team to play GM. He had zero intention of simply writing checks. 'His' expertise won three Super Bowls. He cannot help it if coaches and players have not repeated the same feat since he has won league championships.

His formula worked before, so it should have continued working ever since. After all, 500 owner GMs could not ever do what he has done in a million years.

I am pulling for the eagles or commanders. Maybe one of them winning will be an enema to jerry jones

 

[IceStar-D7]

I hate this but I'm going with DQ to win it all. I want him to stick the knife even deeper into BoZo Jones.

 

[darthseinfeld]

Im in Rochester so its an easy call for me

 

[ChronicCowboy]

Buffalo has no chance. ATP I see Eagles over Chiefs.

He could care less. The Eagles won in 2018 and thats the year Jones decided a WR by committee was a good idea

Wishful thinking.

You don't start with a new ownership, new coaches and new players with everything "mixed in together" and make it to the Super Bowl without good old fashion luck.

It can happen, although rare, which is why I used the term "lightning in a bottle".

No one can predict the future, but If I were a betting man, no way Washington wins those last minute games going into next year which enables them to make a run in the playoffs like the did this year IMO. That's what I would bet on..."them not having the ball bounce their way" next year.

 

[Mannix]

I hands down wanted Buffalo until Washington took off...now I'm all about them...anything to torture Booger, I'm 100% all in on.

So, I think we want Buffalo to win it all. Here are the stakes for the conference championships

In the NFC, you have the Washington Commanders (Division Rival) at the Philadelphia Eagles (Division Rival). Washington has 3 Lombardi's. Philly is Philly.

In the AFC, Buffalo (no Lombardis and a super loyal fan base) at the Kansas City Chiefs (4 Lombardis).

Go Buffalo!

Bills vs Skins would be my choice of SB.....but if the officiating/NFL, continues to guarantee that Swifty and Caitlin Clark will be part of the hype machine, I don't think the Bills are going any further

I would like that too and we almost swept Washington.

That's what I mean. Seems like Washington was lucky enough to squeak by a lot of teams the way Philly did last year until it caught up to them...

They did, and they have a shot at winning the whole thing.

I'm pulling for Washington! A victory by Washington will show our great GM that the game has passed him by and that he needs to hire a real GM before a new HC!
