Nobody will respect the Cowboys if we beat up the Cards

[Coogiguy03]

I think that every person on Earth already knows this.

Gladly you knew it and came to visit this post, go Cowboys

They barely respect us now, the respect comes when we beat teams we NEED to beat to get to the Superbowl (Phi, SF etc). Beating down the cards does nothing in the long run, we better win though lol. Please give your thoughts...

Possibly true, sure, but if we don't beat them, our respect will plummet.

What beating them will show is that things have changed, that we no longer are susceptible to the dregs of the league. Josh Dobbs? Please, dude is shaking in his shoesies as we speak.

I kind of disagree. Look all over social media and sports talk. We were somewhere between 3rd best and "over rated" according to most non-Cowboy fans before the season. Now most have us even with or even ahead of Philly and SF (personally I still have us 3rd because the sample size is small). Another blowout and dominant defensive performance will only put us higher on most people's ranking even if it is against Arizona. When you destroy teams like we have (only two weeks of course) it is meaningful no matter how good or bad they are. Sure, if we win by a FG I agree with the premise, but a blowout is a blowout and 3 in a row would be very impressive.

Wouldn't be more impressive to blow out a SF though or a Phi or another team that's hot??? That's all i'm saying, I hear you though

Go to the big dance win the trophy and that is the respect you need

Right no mercy, it's sad that we have to reference the past failures with games like this. Like I just said above this post, wouldn't it be nice to blow out a team that's hot, or a phi or SF etc

All i'm basically saying, but to get to that road we do have to beat the cards,but we REALLY have to beat the SF and Phi of the world

Our fanbase has the biggest inferiority complex in sports.

Sorry to hear this, some of our fans are also TOO confident, it's ok to feel we're going to win, but we also have to be realistic and know that we're playing against another NFL team, not a JV team

Thus when we do play bad or to the level of a team that's not been playing well, there's people like you who are SHOCKED and surprised saying things such as "I NEVER SAW THIS HAPPENING!!!"

My thoughts are you care way to much about what the media and fans think.

Who gives a trolls buttocks what they think.

I want a Superbowl and could care less how this team is viewed.

 

[Coogiguy03]

Help me understand: Why does what one single person’s opinion on social media or sports media about the Cowboys matter? Isn’t winning all that matters? Or do we think what some talking head thinks about the Cowboys actually matters?

True respect in the NFL does not happen until Jan and Feb in the playoffs. In fact, playoff wins (plural) = respect. “Looking good” while winning regular season games is great but that does NOT translate to any kind of meaningful respect.

I recognize a lot of fans these days care about “rankings” from sports media. And that’s fine if they do. But I’m just pointing out that “rankings respect” by sports talking heads is not real respect. Winning playoff games is where the real respect lies. Until we win at least two playoff games in a row, which we haven’t done in nearly 3 decades, there won’t be a ton of real respect.

THAT PART RIGHT THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I could care less what they think let that be known, it's about what the guys in that locker room and organization think that's all that matters. I'm just saying I know some players on this team actually want MORE than just to beat up on teams like this!!!!!!!

 

[Coogiguy03]

I thought this was a trap game.

We are going to do what we should do. We are going to dominate the game with our defense and the game will be basically over by the second quarter.

I'm not worrying about respect. I thought the talk shows were crap, who cares what they say.

we shall see, anything can happen just know

 

[Coogiguy03]

slow down on the threads amigo

Not if you keep coming to check them out!!! lol

Jeebus

They can only play the people on their schedule...... if they want more than that then beat the Niners in a few weeks.

All they can do is beat the team in front of them ...... complaining about who they beat is asinine

Sorry, but your comment doesn't really make any sense. The thread is about the Cowboys getting respect. Respect is perception and opinion and discussion and usually subjective to the individual. Here, now, in week 3 and I didn't make the thread. My comment isn't about one person on SM it's about everyone and all sports talk. It is clear the respect level now in week 3 is higher than before week 1, correct? If you don't agree with this I suspect you aren't paying attention to the scuttlebutt around the Cowboys before the season and now. Obviously winning when it matters would lead to even greater respect but that doesn't mean it hasn't already gone up even if incrementally.

Absolutely agree, of course it would. But that didn't seem to be the thread you started. Perhaps I misread

If we blowout the cardinals I can make fun of Washington and New York for struggling against the worst team while we didn't.

 

[ShortRound]

Win is a win. Who cares what people think.

Of course beating the Cards does something in the long run because for every team beating the teams they should beat along the way is part of gaining respect and building confidence and momentum.

It maybe that we just disagree on the definition of respect. I don’t classify what a sports writer or talking head on ESPN says about the Cowboys in September as real respect. I believe that real respect in the NFL only happens with multiple playoff wins. And I don’t pay attention to what any media types say about any team.

Thats just my opinion and we can certainly agree to disagree.

Who cares???? Just win. I could care less what the media thinks. Fans should just be focused on us winning and losing games. Not what the media has to say. They have an agenda to create drama regardless or winning or losing. Fans should not be doing the same thing like the OP is doing.
