The stars will eventually line up

[cowboyblue22]

if this team would of taken care of business they would have already wrapped up the nfc east crown its 50 50 they even make the playoffs

Only crazy cat ladies and guys who rely on the lottery as a retirement plan believe in luck and plants aligning. Winners go out and create their own luck.

My dad taught me to have all of our vegetable "plants" in a row. But you are exactly right on the last sentence about making their own luck. You won't need it if you give it your best! Well maybe sometimes.

I’ve always said that the reason Jerry has held onto JG was because the sun will shine on a dogs rear one day and then he can say “told you so.” That may be true. But I bet the Eagles are thinking the same this season after they pulled out the last two.

The first sign may have been the league overruling the ref about the coin toss.

In the past they would’ve issued a clarification the following week so no other teams would be affected.

They would change the rule book to make it right to go against us. As in Dez's catch. Only to be changed again.
This time I am sure there will a clarification clause added, but it did not go against us.

Conspiracy theory the other way may have begun.

 

[Proof]

I'm not sure I am buying our success this year, but I do agree we're due for some favorable bounces. That's not relying on luck, or trying to bring order out of chaos, it's a law of averages sort of thing.

Talent makes the stars line up.
Not luck or chance.

Really, was that indeed a league clarification during the process of a game? Im just asking because I was wondering after halftime why something actually went
in the favor of the Cowboys, I was expecting fully to be kicking off to start the 3rd quarter.
Can you please extrapolate on what you mean by "league over ruling."
Maybe I missed something, and Im being serious here, Im really curious.

I see someone is in the Christmas punch.

fixed it for you.

Man we’ve got the greatest fans in the league!

The league or the replay officials (New York) was allowed to review the decision based on rules already in place about possessions or something.

I mentioned the clarification because that’s what happened on the illegal huddle and the delay of game on the defense on us. And just us.

I was with you. I fully expected to kick. Maybe they figured too many “rare” calls have already happened to one team.

Oh the sun does shine on an old dog as..... rear occasionally. My 19yr old still active dog still stands occasionally, by pure luck, in the sun, turned backwards.
So while I appreciate the verbage, and the analogy, Im not so sure I would associate that historical reference to this teams success this year going forward.
This team needs a new analogy... something fresh.
Maybe … auto clap off, auto spit on.
Maybe, just maybe, JG has finally realized that the entire fan nation has recognized that he had to change his persona. Maybe JG never even realized that he had a clapping compulsion that was obvious to the entire Football community, but he never even realized it.
Could that be possible?
Yes it is entirely possible, happens to every one of us every single day and we don't even realize it, but nobody is making fun of us because of the compulsive disorder, because we are not that important, us average Joes are not in the lime light.
That's why I have come to my own evaluations on JG, its not because of the overall consensus on JG, but rather the fact that it has taken JG this long, a comedy script that was aired
publicly on national TV for him to actually realize, after all these years.
Even with an IVY league education, this man is thicker than a brick.

Interesting, and thank you,, not much was posted , or I wasn't paying attention.

People love to cling onto the Giants as an example of a run but in reality, that hasn't happened since the Ravens did it in 2012. Since then, all the NFC winners have been either #1 or #2 seeds. Home field advantage in the divisional round matters! Something that Garrett has only accomplished once and still blew it in 2016. Get him outta here!

 

[Praxit]

..well, big time sport analyst have quoted, Dallas can play with anyone when they are clicking. The question lingers. Can they continue to click on high octane?

 

[Nav22]

Absolutely not but I did watch the NFL back when it was great and there is no comparison to this impostor we are forced to stomach today . Where every exciting play is diluted by a flag and the wait to see how it turns out . Every bullspit play is celebrated. And the Pats just get to continually cheat and nothing is done about it .

Then I’m surprised you still watch. I’d be done with football if I thought it was as crappy as you think it is.

Are there more penalties per game now than there used to be?

There have always been teams cheating. The ‘70s Steelers were on steroids.

Anything is possible

Could be but my 70s SBs were real not sure when they made it ENTERTAINMENT not Sport . Hey if you cant see whats going on in some of these games I dont know what to tell you a lot of people still believe in Santa and thats fine by me

Ahhhh, of course those 70s SBs were real...back in the day when there was scant media scrutiny like there is today. It would actually be much harder to orchestrate such a thing these days, but what we do have are guys like you amped up on confirmation bias scattered about the internet.

So far you've provided as much evidence for your tinfoil hat theory as you have for santa claus, so it's funny that you used that example. I'll believe in either of them (not to mention a certain other entity) when someone provides actual evidence.

Its been a long time since I was Amped up on anything but with all the technology there is today and the media scrutiny as you say . How could the officials get things so wrong and we need go no farther than the phantom tripping calls in
NE that the league said were wrong afterward when it had no bearing on the game . IMO that game was manipulated with todays tech no excuse can be made for those mistakes not once but twice in the same game .

As bad as the tripping calls were, they don't hold a candle to the 2 phantom hands to the face calls the Packers got to snake a win against Detroit.
