We don’t know if this team is good, bad or ugly. We haven’t even seen them play yet. All the talking heads are questioning the offensive line. All the pundits are questioning the receivers. Are they right? They don’t know because this team hasn’t even played a game yet. Parcells said you don’t know who you are until Thanksgiving. I guarantee you that what everyone is saying now about the teams strengths and weaknesses will change by years end. So quit listening to these people saying the Cowboys have a great defensive line group or the Cowboys are weak on the offensive line. They don’t know. None of us do and we won’t until November.
i wonder how many here thought the rams would win at home game 1.. i mean they are the SB champs who take all the risks who blow their cap and get smacked down and hard by the bills at home..0-1.. we have tough start 2 games by very good teams both will be favorites so if the rams can lose and no one freak out please lets be the fair here as its the sb champs lost to a good team, so can we and its the same, nooe will be counting out the rams after being 0-1 but our fans will be on the i told you so Debbie downer trains for sure. ...it happens, it can happen, it might happen, but even 0-2 is not over in 17 game seasons.

With Dak's ankle acting up this early before the regular season even gets underway, things look less promising than they did earlier. I usually tend to be somewhat more optimistic about starting the regular season. With the present setup for such a long season, anything might happen on the injury front, with our QB already hurting his ankle. As always, I'll do all I can to see things on the bright side (for all the good it may do.) Of course, things could be better, but they could also be far worse. Here's hoping Sunday brings better prospects for our limited QB. Amen.
umm a sore ankle from tight unbroken in cleats and that your take its acting up?? get over that nonsense, please stop being a drama queen.

I advise fans who are on the fence to sit out until week 3. They will be 1-1 or 0-2 and people will be hitting the panic button. The Rams are 0-1 and shouldn’t be hitting panic. Neither should Dallas against two elite teams

Not a problem to me if we lose, simply because there's nothing we can do as fans but accept it and hope for better times to come.

We are playing two really good teams to start but they are at home. Even if we’re 2-0 it still doesn’t mean anything. 17 games is a long time.

Expressing doubt about chances of winning in an upcoming game is hardly being a drama queen. It's merely expressing my opinion, which is what this forum is for to begin with. If you can't handle that, perhaps you should avoid reading the opinions of others. Seems to me like being a "drama queen' might be the guy you see in the mirror.

Dak broke his right ankle in 2020 and it was reported yesterday that Dak had right ankle soreness supposedly due to his wearing new cleats....then Dallas added Dak to the injury report for his ankle.

Call me paranoid or a conspiracy theorist but if it was simply mild soreness due to new shoes would we really expect Dallas to add Dak to the injury report????

With the news of Dak's right ankle soreness and having a rookie LT that had an ankle injury in the preseason this is something to keep an eye on clearly.

You have to add him to the report if it limited his practice

We like our guys. Not sure why but we like em.

Because they have Stars on their helmets. It is why we are here.
If a fan can't root for the team, and ALL players on it, then they are not a fan. They do not have to like each player individually, as we have seen on here. But the must root for them to do well.

BOOM!

Or whine about how the refs cheated us because they hate us and love Brady and Mara ordered a special hit via Goodell.

Those of us that know football can have a pretty good idea of what a team is before the games are played.
The only sure prediction I will make right now is I'm going to watch The Good,The Bad and the Ugly when I get off work today.

Congrats on your special football acumen! Give yourself a pat on the back and enjoy your movie. It's a good one.
Other than that, I don't recall seeing anyone pressuring you for your opinion. Do you?
I hope we all enjoy the game and come out of it feeling good about our team. Of course, there's no need for you to watch the game, since you already know what to expect. Great foresight.

Are you giving them a pass until Thanksgiving, Rocky?

All the games up until Thanksgiving are a wash and tell us nothing?

We'll have a good idea Sunday night. It's not how we win or lose but how we play. If we are competitive than maybe we'll be better that some think but if we get blown out.

I believe we've all seen plenty of that in the past and shouldn't resort to such drama.

I'm happy with being entertained and hope for the best, minus the drama afterwards.

I'm reasonably certain the officials have a difficult task and most do a really good job.

Yet, pro football is an emotional experience, whereby so many get overwhelmed. :oops:

Don't let others knowledge of football intimidate you.
