I have a guy I work with that is a Commanders fan. He was telling me the same thing today about Dallas having “nearly” all their starters and the Rams playing all backups.
I’ll tell you why it was important to him that people think it is all of the Dallas starters against Rams backups: because it puts him in a no lose situation.
If Dallas plays well, he will be able to say, ”Of course they looked good with their starters against all the LA backups. If they didn’t win, Dallas would have sucked!”
If Dallas doesn’t play well, he will be in even better shape. He will be able to say, “Dallas’ starters couldn’t even beat the Rams second and third string guys!”
This guy thrives on trying to tear the Cowboys down and he gets a real kick out of it. He’s very good at finding those no win situations for Dallas.
When I mentioned that Dallas would have quite a few starters out like Elliott, Lawrence, Byron Jones, Martin, Smith, etc., it seemed to really escalate him because on Monday he wants to be able to use one of the two above angles to crap on whatever Dallas does. The truth that Dallas will have a lot of starters out simply ruins his post game rant plans, so he reacted more strongly to a simple statement than you’d think he would.
There is always an agenda when people freak out like that.
