Skins Fans Crying

[BigDFan5]

so then we agree. what i'm ont gonna do is haggle over the ultimate defination of "unrealistic" cause overall i think we agree on that it could happen, not a HUGE chance of it happening, so the rest are the shades of gray where in the end we agree anywy.

Only reason I replied in the first place is the incorrect statement you made and still havent backed off of.

reference the superbowl polls we had not long ago. that was meant to prove homer-ism in DC and yet, we outdid 'em or stayed close in the boards opinion *we* were gonna win it all.

It wasn't close at all, they were 20% higher than us. Then you went on to rail people who think it could happen as unrealistic homers. When the past tells us it is not unrealistic to believe it could happen.

I don't think its homerism for either the Skins or Cowboys to believe they can win the superbowl this year. Both teams have veteran coaching staffs, solid defenses, and both made big improvements on offense. I expect us to at least go deep into the playoffs...I hope we get enough breaks to make it to the big game. If we make it, I'm sure we'll win it.

Wow a sane and lucid post from SantanaOwnsU. I'm shocked.

All except the last sentenance!

I wish I could see the future like this RedStink!

I've got all the faith in the world in Joe Gibbs. His superbowl record is above average. If we're good enough of a team to make it to the big one, Gibbs will push us over the top. I wouldn't doubt Parcells in a superbowl either.

Yeah, I guess your right...however, this is not a "strike season", where the Almighty Gibbs won two of his tarnished trophys...

I bet the janitor is STILL trying to shine those two up...

The second one the strike was very short and did not cause too much disruption unlike the first one- so that one is a little iffy to count as tarnished.

 

[needforspeed]

sounds like the same whining i hear here when the cowboys are rated low in any given area. excuse city.

just ironic ot me that while a fan is a fan, we'll bash one set and turn around and do the same thing we bash them for doing. reference the superbowl polls we had not long ago. that was meant to prove homer-ism in DC and yet, we outdid 'em or stayed close in the boards opinion *we* were gonna win it all.

I'm asking this in all sincerity: are you a Cowboys fan or do you support one of the other NFL franchises? I ask this because, after reading your posts, I'm a little confused. Of course, the possibility exists that you just like to be contrary. Can you shed a little light on the subject?

No problem...

But the Cowboys SB trophys are shining like a Star! There are no "iffy" on those...

 

[burmafrd]

some people just like to go contrary to the accepted norm.
MOST people who call themselves Cowboy Fans believe that we will be better this year and most of the so called experts agree. Just how much better is the real question. In TODAYS watered down NFL when teams go from losing records to playing in the SB almost every year, for a team that just missed the playoffs- mainly due to missed FG's(and have gotten a top kicker now to address that problem)-and has added a top WR in addition to a good draft- AND has reasonable expectations of considerable improvement to the main weakness of the year before-its O line- a deep playoff run- maybe even making the SB- does not seem that big a leap to take.

oh i'm a definate cowboys fan. but my idea of it's not sitting there saying "yes sir may i have another" in regard to whatever move they feel like making.

sorry that doesn't seem to meet with *your* idea of how a fan should act.

And, you know what's funny about it?

YOU CAN'T DO NOTHING ABOUT IT!

did i ever say i could? can *any* fan do *anything* about it?

you read way too much into this dude.

 

[CrazyCowboy]

Whine....baby whine.

 

[StylisticS]

It's what they do best.

 

[jimmy40]

gotta love it.

The funny thing is that they have serious p evny for Dallas...while Cowboys fans don't even think of them unless Taylor waves a gun around or it is game week.

Actually, the second strike was disrupted by the "Replacements". The Commanders had one of the better groups of replacement players....I don't need to remind you that their replacements beat a Cowboy team with several stars that crossed the line.

So, I don't think it's too iffy to call that one tarnished. Only one game was missed, but the replacements played in a few games.

Maybe you should read the thread since most of this thread was talking about the Cowboys not the Commanders

props for digging all that up - a lot of work and i *do* appreciate it.

and burm - i saw it and i replied to another saying HE (and bidgfan5) were making good points to my questions/concerns, not just saying i'm insane.

or implying it with that built in back door again. : )

thanks big - i'll give it some thought before pushing on.

Thanks Ice, and agains I am not saying we are a lock for the superbowl. Just that coming off a 9-7 season where even the coach agrees with a kicker we would have won a couple more game, added to obvious improvements in the kicking game, WR core, LB core, and IMO OLine. That it is not homerish or ridiculous to for 50% of Cowboys fans to *think* we could make the superbowl after seeing how often things like this occur.

So if the Cowboys had beaten the Commanders in the 1982 NFC Championship game then went on to beat the Dolphins in Superbowl 17 would that Superbowl be "tarnished?

Somehow I dont think so
