This Week's Stephen A Smith Thread *Merge*

[Redball Express]

And missed 5 penalties on the Steelers atleast. The holding on Crawford that everyone pointed out on this board was laughable

Steelers clearly had the home field advantage..

which also means they get the majority of the calls from the refs.

This team plays well on the road.

Any team hosting them should beware.

Spo

Let me guess

"They are lucky!"
"Pittsburgh isn't any good!"
"They were supposed to win this game!"
"Next week is the real test!"
"Accident waiting to happen!"

Did I miss any?

Spot on!

Molly & Max are more annoying with their Vagiants bias.

Honestly the Cowboys got NO luck yesterday.

1) we did not fall on our fumble
2) B Jones did not possess the Steeler fumble where he would have scored
3) Possible incomplete TD pass
4 a couple tipped paases that were just out of reach for the pick.

The ball did not bounce our way yesterday and we still won.

That is indeed the sign of a good team. Resilient. Finish when given the opportunity.

First Trump then Cowboys, not a good week for ol Stephen A Smith.

They both need to be called out for picking Pittsburgh

Stephen Smith would look really spiffy in a Dak Prescott jersey. Of course, we would have to force that Romo jersey off first, you know how he covets it.

 

[CowboysFanSince88]

What did he say?

Berman reference that the last time the Cowboys won 8 in a row they won the SB and herm didn't want to get involved in that type of discussion for obvious reasons

 

[SultanOfSix]

It's just a shtick people. I can't even listen to him when he starts yelling. It's just so freaking annoying.

 

[LocimusPrime]

is Stephen A. melting down on First Take this morning.

He won't agree with the premise that the Cowboys are good, they're "lucky" they played a Pittsburg team with a bad defense.

You can see in his eyes he doesn't believe what he's saying. He knows the Cowboys are for real.

Right on surfer!

 

[LocimusPrime]

SAS doesn't really hate the Cowboys. He's just milking this schtick because the Cowboys are popular and need an antagonist to balance out the supporters.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Why do people care anymore?

Great question.

 

[SuspectCorner]

What is that idiot McFlabb saying?

McNabb actually gave props to the Cowboys. With a straight face and everything. Impressive.

For the past few weeks, all the talking heads were claiming that Dallas hasn't played a real team yet, and will be exposed by *insert that weeks opponent*

Then, somehow, that very same team magically becomes trash after the Cowboys beat them.

Don't forget the missed calls the big discrepancy in penalties. We shot ourselves in the foot all day.
B Jones had an easy fumble recovery that would have gave us a short field but bobbled it out of bounds.

How many "real" teams are there in the NFL? I see about 4 really good teams and then a huge drop off to the next tier. There is no strength of schedule in the NFL. Play the schedule and win the games. We don't have to impress voters like college.

As bad as people thought the NFC East would be, every team is above .500. Is there another division out there that can claim that? I don't think there is.
