MMQB - A Raiders-Cowboys Super Bowl? The NFL Can Dream

[skinsscalper]

We haven't faced anything close to that offense. Oakland put up 30 on Denver...by far the best defense in the league.

And they did it the exact same way that we play football. They ran it down their throats. Oakland hasn't played a team that controls the ball or the offense the way that we do. The closest, so far, is the Chiefs and they manhandled the Raiders. Stop being so self/team loathing. It looks *****-like.

For the record, I want New England in the Super Bowl. The last dynasty in football before New England was in Dallas. I want to take it from them straight up!

I'd love to see the Raiders play the Patriots in the championship game.

Carr gets sacked as he's trying to throw the ball and the Patriots recover the ball, game over.

But wait!!

......the fumble is overturned by the tuck rule and the Raiders proceed to drive down the field and score the winning TD as time runs out

The issue is Jankowski would miss 3 field goals in the blinding snow! He has been awful this year.

 

[Sarge]

Oakland could very easily have 4 losses.

The Patriots and Cowboys seems like a bigger dream?

As excited as I am with Dak, Zeke and our future I'd totally bet against the first Rookie QB going to a Super Bowl . More likely if we get to the Super Bowl we'll be led by another QB this year.

 

[visionary]

I don't want to face New England in the Super Bowl. Tom Brady would pick us apart, and Bill Belichick (with two weeks to prepare) is the one coach who could exploit any weaknesses Dak has as a rookie signal caller.

Having said that, The Dallas Cowboys vs. Oakland Raiders matchup is one I looked forward to while watching the Cowboys of the 70s, but it never materialized. Either the Raiders never lived up to their end of the bargain (getting beat in the 77 AFC Championship by the Broncos), or we never lived up to our end (getting beat in the 81 NFC Championship by the Eagles).

I predicted we would win. You are a drunk...or a moron.

Perhaps even a drunk moron.

I the post I quoted you didn't predict anything. You are dumb... or a *****.

Perhaps a dumb *****.

I thought about it in 2nd half of denver oakland game sun night.
I thought these guys just might make the SB in Afc.
The afc has only about 2 good teams right now, oakland and NE, so it may be between those 2.

When I start reading threads about playoffs (and Super Bowls)

Might be a year (or two) early, but how cool would Cowboys-Raiders be? Came close to happening in the 70s and early 90s.

 

[Boyzmamacita]

As long as the Cowboys get there AND WIN I don't give a hoot who the opponent is.

 

[Don Corleone]

The NFL won't allow a team that is leaving their city to be in the Super Bowl. It would make for a nasty exit from Oakland. It would be a PR nightmare. Blandino and Goodell...err...the football gods will intervene.

Depends on how old you are. For me, Raiders/Cowboys brings back memories of the pre-parity days of the NFL. There's something very right about those two franchises playing for it all. It should have happened already.

The pre parity days? Like before the merger in 1970.

Im 63 years old and I'd like to see the Dynasty of this era take on the Cowboys.

Godfather maybe you can reach out and use the judges and lawmakers you carry around like so many nickels and dimes in your pocket. Make is so Dallas is not only in the Super Bowl but wins it also, Godfather make them an offer they can't refuse.

Didn't I mention this in a post last night......and now there is an article about it.....

It's been on the lips of several pundits since last night's game. The announcers actually (I think it was Collinsworth) even mentioned it. I've got an uncle who's been saying it since about week 5 (though, admittedly, he's is a full blown Raiders homer and he knows I love the Cowboys). Not exactly an original idea, FWIW, my friend.
