Vanila Offense.

[PBJTime]

I would rather be objective and realistic then naive and ignorant. Dont get pissy at me because your standards are low for what qualifies as success. I hope you dont settle for other aspects of your life and think something has been accomplished when it has not been. My expectations are winning the Super Bowl every year, but wanting it to happen and thinking it will are 2 different things. Thinking what you see in the preseason and jumping for joy and being optimistic about it is foolish.

Were you in despair in the 90's when Dallas would win 1 if any preaseaon games thinking because they lost and that the season was going to be a failure? Or would you be the kind of, lets say a Lions fan when they went 4-0 last preseason and thought they had a chance for the playoffs? So if a team looks great in preaseason or even looks bad, no reason to get or excited or panic because its just preaseason. It isn't my fault you have not figured that out yet. But I can understand if you have nothing else in your life that is going your way so you have to latch onto something that has no meaning and try and make it into a positive. You probably don't like reality anyway.

It's understandable to be afraid to "let go" and enjoy this team for what it is, but you can do it. You want them to win the Superbowl every year, as any fan does, but you have to realize that most of the time, that isn't going to happen, especially with the way the league is set up now.

You feel there is nothing to be taken from a preseason game, but you are mistaken. Just because other people can see positives from a preseason game doesn't make them delusional, as you would have everybody believe.

There is a difference between being objective and being overly pessimistic.

Our starters looked pretty good against a good team's starters. Start with that and then move on to other positive things.

Right. We can all get excited on how they looked last night. But we also know it is still preseason. But it's nice to see things are going and looking well.

I'm not going to say we will go to the SB based on last night, but not going to say we are like the Lions either. As most of us realize this. But we aren't being totally negative just because it is preseason either.

But I will say I liked what I seen, and hopefully that will carry over to the regular season, which I think it will.

I wouldn't get too excited since it was pretty obvious Dallas was running alot more then just basic offense while Tennesee played "vanilla" even more so on offense and defense, and played their backups in the first half when Dallas still had in starters. True Dallas might not have done as much as they will in the regular season, but it was still more complex then anything Tennesee did. And just remember everyone, Detroit was 4-0 last year in the preaseason, so whatever happens really doesn't mean anything.

Hmm, if I had that attitude, why would I even bother to turn on the TV or even care about the news, until the first game of the regular season. I think it would be boring to watch a pre-season game when there is absolutely no reason to.

I think if I were a Red Raiders fan, I wouldn't watch or read about them till they play Texas, and then watch them in a National Title game, if it ever comes to that. With that attitude, nothing in college ball means a thing until that final Championship Game.

What makes me even more optimistic and excited about this offense is that the playcalling has been rather "unsexy" Which is perfectly normal in the preseason. I've noticed that they havn't even split Martellus out wide on a motion or Felix going in motion out of the backfield. We carved up that Titans D just playing smash mouth football.

It's scary to think that this offense moves down the field just running basic football plays. Wait till the real fun starts will Marty B and Wittens matchup nightmares for defenses and not to mention Felix becoming even MORE explosive

The offense looked very vanillia last year in preseason. It didn't change during the regular season. Garrett = dud.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Garrett = dud.

What about 2007?

Tony sparano was still here right?

The offensive? Was it the summer offensive of 1942 or some other one?:laugh1:

I don't know why anyone argues with the guys like RedRaiders fan. If they want to be nothing but negative, all the time, in order to protect themselves from being too optomistic, or being silly for liking anything, then let them be. Should we do very well, and I believe we will, all these same folks will be here talking about how they believed all along they just had to do their best not to appear to encouraged cause they didn't want to look niave or optomistic, or anything like that if it doesn't turn out well.


To me if you're not willing to walk out on that limb and believe, and show faith, and be excited, and risk being disappointed or looking silly/goofy/dumb/whatever if things go bad, then there really isn't even any reason for a person to be a fan. That goes for a fan of any team.

I think it's okay to get a tad excited, especially with their ability to move the ball at will, but we still should hold back the excitement until the season starts.

 

[jimmy40]

This is straight BS. Dude what game were you watching? Unbelievable!!!:bang2:

So you're saying Tennessee ran a more complex offense and defense? Are you saying Tennessee didn't pull starters first?

Well said.

Tenn was blitzing their CB's and they pulled their starting secondary on the last drive of the first half. We had totally DOMINATED them by then. That's what I'm sayin and that's what I saw....

 

[AsthmaField]

RedRaiderCowboyFan doesn't even think Romo is in the top 32 quarterbacks in the NFL... if that doesn't tell you how much stock to put in his opinion, I don't know what will.

He clearly isn't even a Cowboy fan. The better the Cowboys play, he more unhappy he gets.

One corner blitz? The guy didn't say anything about who dominated.

What's not true?

 

[TD-33]

The Cowboys deserve 0 credit. I love half empty milk.

I'm just grateful our scrub team was able to stay on the field with the TITANS. I wish we didn't have to always play our starters 4 quarters while our opponents get to start their 3rd team/practice squad guys. It's embarrassing. :

You are plain pathetic. You are a troll. You are a fan of another team who comes to this board PRETENDING to be a Dallas fan (based on your user name), and you have the gall to tell me I don't have a life!!!
Nowhere in my previous posts in this thread have I claimed that this preseason game, or any other preseason game, meant a damn thing! I've been a football fan long enough (Dallas fan since the team's inception!) to know that these games are meaningless in the standings and in predicting any kind of future success or failure of a team.
Once again, go look at you list of posts in CZ and find anywhere where you have posted any kind of positive thread. ANY Cowboys fan would have found at least one or two positive things in the time you have been a member of this board.
Your hatred for Tony Romo is way, way, way over the top. In fact, your posts indicate that you are obsessed with him and wanting him to fail. Take your pathetic act back to whatever team you root for, or try being a man and come onto this site openly as a fan of whatever team you root for. I have no qualms with fans of other teams that come here to reasonably debate the merits of our respective teams. I just think trolls such as yourself are cowardly and pathetic. Respond to this if you like, but I will not respond in kind any more. I've already fed the troll far more than I should have.

That's exactly what he is.
