I am up with my morning coffee and had a nice chuckle after visiting a Detroit Lions forum to read their take on the game.
Cowboysfan178 started a thread there earlier in the week to discuss the game with them. He basically pointed out all of the Lions weaknesses but gave them the benefit of the doubt that the Lions could win (just to be nice I'm sure). Instead of sticking up for their team in a "Watch yourself fool. Don't disrespect us in our House" manner and pointing out any weaknesses the Cowboys have that could lose them the game, the self-deprecating Lions board basically responded, "Yeah, you're right. We suck. Welcome to the Board!"
Expecting a hearty discussion but getting a litany of defeatist comments instead, the stunned Cowboysfan178 said: Man you guys are either really pessimistic fans or realistic but I'm not sure which. The way you guys have played these last couple weeks I'd say a 52-17 win would be doable but I don't think you guys can play that ****ty 3 times in a row. I don't think it will be too close but I don't think it will be a complete blowout. Dallas will win by 10-17 points.
Spanksta Gangsta also chimed in: Jeez, I think you guys are setting us up to get us overconfident. Then as we celebrate at the beginning of the game, it will be a 56-3 Detroit. The more pessimistic you guys get, the more worried I get.
It's just not a good sign.
In response, someone summed up who the Lions are as a fanbase: "Uh, this is normal for Lions fans."
I just joined this Cowboys forum but I couldn't imagine any self-respecting Cowboys fan here bending over and taking criticism from the opposition without giving some back in return and defending the Cowboys -- even if people think the odds are stacked against us. If any Patriots fan comes here before the Super Bowl (positive thinking) to talk trash, I am sure no one would respond with, "You're right. We don't have a chance in h*ll of winning. The Patriots are gonna clean our clocks. In fact, we're all betting $500 that they'll cover the spread...and then some. Welcome to the Board!"
Lions lose. Cowboys win. I think the lesson to be learned here is: If you think like losers, you are going to play like losers. Always keep your head up and your dignity higher or don't even bother playing the game. And by "playing" I also mean, rooting for a team. Constructive criticism is one thing but straight out "we suck" cannot possibly be productive.
The Cowboys never say it's over until it actually is over. We think like winners and we play like winners. (err...I won't mention our defense right now; it will just spoil the glory of the moment
). That is why we are able to snatch victory out of the hands of the opposition at last minute.
I posted some of the Lions comments below. One negative one after another. Do Lions fans have ANY self-respect whatsoever? Why do they even bother calling themselves fans? Don' they have a hockey team they can root for instead? Poor things. Maybe we should send them a fruit basket or something? Perhaps a Hickory Farms sausage and cheese platter? Maybe even throw in a tasty holiday fruitcake to lift their spirits too. Lol.:laugh2:
-----------------------
Not likely to get a lot of response here since everyone pretty well expects Dallas to blow us out.
---------------------------------
This is a game the Lions play tough in but still lose.
--------------------------------
The takeaway advantage "wentaway" with this team's desire. They won some games that they shouldn't have, got a taste of success, then looked around and at each other and said "Holy ****, we're not this good! Time to roll over!" Cowboys 37 - 10
---------------------------
Just 37? Is that in the first quarter?
-----------------
There are no strong points to the Lions game. Only less weak points.
--------------------------
I expect your team to embarrass ours enough that there might be some bus tickets issued. Or they might raise the bar. Or they might be forced to pound the rock. Or some other meaningless, bull**** coachspeak that results in no changes whatsoever.
--------------------------------
Yeah, kinda tough to talk smack when all we've been doing lately is GETTING smacked. The Cowboys could play ALL of their #3s on both sides of the ball and still annihilate this bunch of Loafin Lions Losers...(Oh, and welcome, 178...)
----------------------------
yeah, a nice triple digit loss is what we need here, so we'll just bendover and wait for it...........
-----------------------------------
Triple digit loss? Now that would be somethin.' Worst loss in NFL history:
"The worst loss in NFL history was in the 1940 NFL Championship game when the Chicago Bears defeated the Washington Commanders 73-0."
Think we got a shot at breakin' that one against the 'boys, Deek?
-----------------------------------------
I think they have it in them........
-------------------------------
This is a game the Lions play tough in but still lose.
24-20 Boys.
------------------------------
hmmm 73-0...I know our guys are up to the challenge
----------------------------------
I hope DeMARCUS WARE and ROY WILLIAMS of the Cowboys (and could easily have been Lions) end the career of a few Detroit Lions Sunday.
Namely BACKUS-UP via D WARE making him his ***** while steam rolling his way to destroying kINTna. I'll leave it up to R WILLIAMS #31 to take out any other Lion trash that manage to make a catch or try to run a screen in front of him.

Cowboys 52 Asspuppets 13
book it.
-----------------
Bah, you are assuming they settle for a FG at some point. Cowboys 56, Asspuppets 13.
------------------------------
My options for the weekend:
1) Watch the Lion/Cowboy game.
2)Scrub the inside of the washing machine.
3) Watch a movie on FOX, "Life is Beautiful" (now, there is some irony)
4) Work the logic problems in my wifes new crossword puzzle book.
5) Clean the dust from behind the fridge.
6) Hang out at the PTA meeting at the library. (Yeah, I know, My kids graduated 8 years ago, but you never know.)
Decisions, decisions. At least I have options.
----------------------------------------
38 - 17 Dallas.
Oh wait, is this at home? Sorry.
38 - 3.
Two of those touchdowns should be field goals.
----------------------------------
The Good: I'll be able to watch the Lions game (we always get the Cowboys; an Arkie owns them, y'know)
The Bad: I'll be able to watch the Lions game
The Ugly: Three guesses...
52-24.
--------------------------------------
good, maybe this is the week Kitna does not get up from that 7th sack..........
---------------------------------------
Time to start your "Kitna must Sitna because he plays like ****na" thread again.
--------------------------------
I also thought about making Jambayla, but just thought that might give the Lions good luck or something.
