I am not talking about the show mentioned in the OP but in general. If I wasn't a Dallas fan, I would have doubts as well.

Are you sold on the EaGirls completely? Do you think their fans are?

Anybody can beat anybody on any given Sunday, but if I'm betting this Sunday, my money's on Dallas.

The "team A dominated the best team in football and team B got crushed 27-0, so team B will obviously beat team A" logic doesn't compute with me.

Yup! Only a handful of positive plays on offense and defense prevented the Cowboys from going home with a loss. They need to clean the turnovers up or it will bite them in the butt.

Yep. People need to cool down about the Seahawks game. What that game told me is, we're possibly better than any team but are capable of losing to any of them. The only thing different about this year's team is that we're actually good this year. But we're still shooting ourselves in the foot every week. We were better than all 6 teams we played, but we lost to 1 of them and struggled against 3 of them. We're still our own worst enemy.

Forget that their name is the Seahawks. We destroyed a team in every facet of the game and still needed a miracle catch on 3rd and 20 to win. That shouldn't happen when you're that much better than a team.

Alvin Harper oened Eric Davis back in the day, so yeah theres some butt hurt there.

Agree. Jimmys Boys owned the niners until the Championship game ( Switzer Team) where Davis actually returned an Aikman pick for a TD . Reference follows from Wikipedia page re Davis.

Davis was a pivotal player in the 1994 NFC Championship game versus the Dallas Cowboys when he made two key plays early in the game. First, a 44 yard interception return for a touchdown on the game's third play from scrimmage, and a forced fumble on Michael Irvin that led to another 49ers touchdown. These plays helped the 49ers beat the previous 2-time champion Cowboys

I'm not sure why you quoted me on your post but I agree Dallas is the favorite this Sunday. My point was I can see why non Dallas fans aren't completely sold on the team yet just like I'm not sold on the EaGirls like many experts are.

That may be true but it's like saying spinach is better than brussel sprouts.

No, that's like saying diamonds are better than rocks.

I despise ESPN most of the time, but their production is top-notch. NFLN is...not.

Isn't that show based in New York? It really is funny to watch most of the sports shows on tv have a Cowboys hater on them.

First Take- Stephen A Smith
Numbers Never Lie- Jemelle Hill
Sportsnation- Michelle Beadle and Max Kellerman
NFL Gameday- Marshall Faulk
NFL Am- Lavar Arrington
Espn- All of those guys will rip Dallas if they lose another game. Berman and Tom Jackson will start style pointing are wins soon.

I was watching the Pregame show and Steve Marahuchi said he's still not sold on the Cowboys yet and said if they played Seattle 3 times Seattle would win two.

I'm sure we can beat them again. We didn't beat them with smoke and mirrors and by sheer luck. In fact, they are lucky we gifted them with 17 points by our special teams. Maybe they did have an off day. But still, the way we imposed our will in their house has just got to hurt all those haters from accepting the truth.

I quoted your post because I'm a little bit skeptical that most non-Dallas fans are objectively sold on a team that just lost 27-0 over another that just dominated the reigning world champs. That's all.

I think it's high-time that everyone learns that the media are glorified WWE wrestlers calling out whatever wildest thing they can and then making excuses/never talking about it again when what they predicted didn't pan out.

The female host of NFL AM this morning called our team the Cow girls to great laughter and cheering from the clowns on the set and her co-hosts. She pretended it was on the cue card but they showed that it wasn't. The clowns then proceeded to pick the Giants to win by a 3-1 majority. Only Terrell Davis was a voice of reason saying the Cowboys were just too strong up front to lose. Eric Allen had the worst logic saying the Giants have been playing good ball and have their offense rolling despite the 27-0 loss last week. Huh? The other clown said Giants will win because Romo throws a lot of picks against the Giants.

Can you imagine the uproar if any other team was derisively called a name that insults the female gender? And how can the official network of the NFL feature such vapid hosts to discuss football?

I would take Sportsbabe anyday over Erin Coscarolli

I'll bet they don't mean half the crap they say. It's likely that they actually are ignorant on most things, but talking heads also say things to generate controversy, to sensationalize, or to make up for their knee-jerk "Dallas is the best team in the league".... they probably got 10 million hate emails after the Monday slobber-fest over the Cowboys.

For me personally, this stuff doesn't bother me. Regardless of the subject matter, the Cowboys are the talk of the NFL and I like it.

I hear you, but I don't like it. Don't etc the cheese. It's a set up. They are waiting wit there "I told you so's".

I think Eric Allen is still a little bitter about Troy, Irvin and Harper blowing him up in the early 90's.

It will take the Cowboys doing some dumb stuff for us to lose this game.

Hey, the previous two weeks, the Cowboys have done a number of stupid things to lose.
Dropped passes
Timely penalties
Missed Field Goals
Fumble by Murray (vs Houston)
Blocked Punt
Fumbled Snap
Fumbled PuntS
Costly INT down by the Goal line (Houston)

And the Cowboys WON somehow!!!

Clean it up and DOMINATE!!!
