Absolutely man. But again, this is a big testament in doing something we havnt done in a decade; string together wins with a big one on the road. Either way, win or lose, I just want us to be competitor against a solid playoff team in Dallas.

Now, here's an honest question, and I know it depends on how it happens but, what if we beat you guys, will you (when I say you I actually mean the league as a whole) finally give us some respect? Or will it turn out to be one of those 'we were just out coached' or 'they got lucky' or 'we were down a couple players'? It'd be nice for a change if someone just said,"they just beat our ***. Straight up." And I know, it takes time to earn respectability when you've been garbage for a long time, I get it. Just curious...

This team doesn't get much respect in the media, so beating us wouldn't give it in their eyes. Gotta beat a team that has had playoff success of late. Until we win some playoffs games, our perception around the league won't change much. But that's just me.

Uh yeah bro. I love football. I watch football. Why wouldn't I watch who you have played when we are your opponent this week? Are you getting sucked into the media about the so called "signature win" stuff? Careful there my friend, you may find your favorite teams name on that list after tomorrow. If so, should I consider the Cowboys an expansion team? I think not. Have some class.

If I...were King...of the forrest. Not Duke, not Earl, but King!

You are going to add the Cowboys to that list of cupcake teams you have beat?

I think not, really not going to lose any sleep worrying about that scenario:laugh:

Hmm, im missing something. That's ok though!

Wait for the Wizard of Oz showing in November...and just enjoy. And, good luck on your team...it has a history and a strong one with Dallas. I still love Merlin Olsen.

I guess y'all will just have to wait and see.

If that, indeed, comes to pass, I'm sure you'll see some making excuses for blowing the game, some saying you got lucky and others saying we were beaten "straight up." We are a diverse group of individuals who generally speak quite frankly of our innermost thoughts. Of course, there are also others who tend to favor blaming the officials and even our own players. I'm certain you've seen that same scene on your website yourself. Reactions vary greatly, depending on, as you said, the circumstances and also the perspectives of the individuals involved. For the great majority of the diehard fans here, losses = trauma.

We need another 3rd down option besides Bease and Witt.

We do have another third down option and it’s who ever is the other read. Dak refuses to make the though throws and sticks to the safe ones, which by the way is in the wrong side of the first down marker.

I'd be suprised if we even get a field goal. We are playing the '84 Bears d. Dak is no better than Drew Henson.
No offence, but Dak looks very different from last year. Too many bad throws, especially early in games. The pressure is on him, and so far it appears to be affecting him. I hope he returns to form soon. Better play calling and route running would help. Also, Dez the decoy, isn't nearly as effective as last year. I understand he is on the downswing of his career, but was hoping he would at least draw enough attention to help free up Beasley.

He's had 1 bad game, Denver (the entire team was bad, including the OL). He was forcing the ball to Dez. Yes, he has started slow these 3 games, but having no consistent running game doesn't help. We saw Dak being Dak in Arizona after tha slow start.

As I said, it's not all on Dak. Play calling has been abysmal and our oline is 3/5 of what it was last year. I expected some regression, but I am hopeful he turns it around today.

You said the pressure was affecting him. The only pressure that affected him was in Denver.

And no reciever unable to get open until basically the Arizona game. That's more of a worrying part.
Both are concerns. I'm not happy with the play designs or calling so far this season. We have solid/excellent players, but are struggling with creating mismatches. Hopefully it will start to click soon.

Since you had no respect for me as a fan in general, never mind the fact that I love the Rams, to you I say: eat crow.
