Seahawks or Panthers?

[rynochop]

Not sure but I do know that the tickets and parking have taxes connected with them that go directly to paying down the bonds issued by the city to help pay for the stadium construction. This was set up as a tax so as to avoid league revenue sharing. The more big events at the stadium the sooner those bonds and other liabilities can be paid off. Jerry owns the concession company for the stadium with Steinbrenner, so he gets that profit, too. I'd like to see all the factors involved but those are some I'm aware of.

I guess merchandise, ant think of much else

Call me crazy, but I want to go to Seattle, and then I want to face either Brady or Manning in the Super Bowl. To me, this year is more than just winning a 6th Super Bowl. This year is all about shutting up 19 years of ridicule, but most importantly, shutting up all the naysayers since the post-Aikman and especially in the Romo era. It's no secret that the Cowboys are the most hated team in pro sports, and I've never seen someone get more hate than Romo. I just want us to do it the "right way", the way that no one can come up with any excuses.

1. We drew the toughest Wild Card matchup by far. Instead of playing Arizona, a team who hasn't scored an offensive TD since their starting QB went down, or Carolina, a team that couldn't even reach .500 in the weakest division, we drew the Lions. Despite their unimpressive history, they were a legit team this year. They could have even gotten the #1 seed if they beat GB and Seattle lost in Week 17. They were no joke. And they were built to beat us. Best run defense and the Cowboy killer named Megatron. They had the perfect game plan and we still won. But all anyone can talk about is that infamous no-call.

2. Now we're going to Green Bay where they're 8-0 on the season. We're playing the likely-MVP in a season where our QB deserved it. What better to silence the haters who gave Rodgers 44 votes and Romo 3 than having Romo beat him in his own home? Wait... but I can see it now. If GB wins, it'll be because Rodgers is that great. If GB loses, it'll be because Rodgers wasn't 100%. No one will give Dallas their due credit.

3. That's why I want Seattle in Seattle so they can finish 8-2 at home, both losses coming from us. What excuse can they come up with then? Aside from a bad call, I can't think of anything. The defending champs who have only lost twice at home in three years. But who knows? Maybe the excuse will be, "Seattle wasn't the same team this year but it was hard to see since their division was so bad."

4. So if we still don't get credit, then give me Brady or Peyton. If we beat Luck in the Super Bowl, it'll be, "Good for Romo, but Luck is just getting started."

That is a lucid, intelligent, well thought-out argument.

And you're crazy.

I know the Boys shouldn't be focused on that game, they just need to take care of business in Green Bay... but we as fans should obviously be rooting for Carolina. We may have went up to Seattle and beat them once this year... but I don't like the odds of us doing that twice.

 

[cowboys1981]

Yep..it's a serious question. Why wouldn't it be? I'm just making conversation here..geez, and besides all that, people do have differences of opinions that's what makes this a "forum" to be able to have discussions..isn't it? It a big reason why I read more than I post because you always have a few that are going to make you feel "dumb" for asking something..anyways, my thoughts were focused on the fact that we have beaten the Seahawks already this year and was wondering how others felt about who they would want to see next week if we win tomorrow....going back under my rock now.

Don't invest too much thought to posters like that.

I would want Carolina to win. In the event we win, we host the NFCCG at our house.

 

[lqmac1]

Who do you hope wins today that could be our opponents next week?

For our sake, I would prefer the Panthers. A lot of people are overhyping their defense since they have been ranked "second since week 12". Let me remind you who they have played, New Orleans, Atlanta, Cleveland, Tampa Bay and Arizona. Not one of those offenses are prolific. I fully anticipate a blowout if we play the Panthers next week. I just don't see any match ups that favor them especially with Star out.

 

[Jenky]

Cam isn't "awful" but he's average based on his numbers. I think he's in store for a pretty rough day vs the Legion of Doom.

Alright maybe some hyperbole on my part. But it was hard to watch that Arizona @ Carolina game.

 

[cowboys69fan]

If the panthers win lookout! there the Darkhorse, But I reall think the Hawks will edge it out.

I wouldn't call you crazy at all. However, I couldn't care less how we get there, so long as we get it. It doesn't matter how we get there, the media will find some way of saying Dallas didn't earn it. It comes with the territory. Yet, all of us will be on here losing our s***, because we know what an outstanding job this organization has done to not only be playing in the playoffs against GB tomorrow, but having the possibility to compete for another Lombardi Trophy. The first person to cry "Rodgers wasn't 100%" will be crushed by Tony was/is much worse off and has been all year.

Ill discuss after the Green Bay game. That is who we play tomorrow.

You're on the active roster?

No reason to feel dumb.

And in general, if one does not make dumb posts that poster wont be called or made to feel dumb. Not saying your's was dumb just making a general comment.

And you're crazy.

My cousin vinny reference. I like it.

 

[Aikbach]

I think Dallas would curb stomp Carolina, they shouldn't be in the playoffs at all, so if they pull of the ultimate upset here props to them.

 

[Cebrin]

You're on the active roster?

Apparently.

 

[TrailBlazer]

Obviously we want the Panthers to win. It's very tough to beat any team 2 times in one year. Especially at their house.

 

[Romo_To_Dez]

Carolina

 

[viman96]

Is this the game thread?

Go Panthers

Go Panthers

It is now!

 

[Ken]

Think about how ridiculously eaasy Seattle's road is...get a bye.
.play a 7 win team at home to work out the kinks...then win one game to get to super bowl.

I predict....whoever wins our game tomorrow...goes to super bowl.

Panthers on a 5 game win streak so they at least have that going going for them.

I agree though very easy. Not to mention they won a 3 way tie breaker to be in this position.
