Cowboys are basically having a fluke season

[cagjam]

I guess that is why THIS year in Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and San Francisco when you looked in the stands you saw Cowboys apparel everywhere. Again the World's most valuable franchise in any sport.

[Sistine Chapel]

sucks for them they're the most valuable and yet one the most shittiest as of late (excluding this anomaly year)

[cagjam]

If Jerry Jones wouldn't get involved they would have been better. Jimmy Johnson built the 90's championship teams. Jerry is the worst GM in the NFL. Great businessman but, his ego gets in the way of good football decisions.

Cowboys value is a classic example of what's wrong with America....over inflated over valued. For as shitty as they've been theres no basis for the 4 billion valuation its all smoke and mirrors. If they're worth 4 billion today (likely on the strength of that old cliche of being Americas team) then somebody needs to start cutting residual checks to Aikman, Michael Irving, and Emmit Smith

It seems with the Cowboys, people either love them or hate them.

[cagjam]

TD Lions, this defense cannot get them to the Super Bowl

[Fishpie]

Spoke too soon on the Lions and gave them too much credit at the start.

[Guest021824]

why so much hate.......lol

[kerwil62]

Now the question is.....

Should the Cowboys rest Dak and play Romo in Philly?

[Sistine Chapel]

^ Yep...no need to play him

[Fishpie]

What's the point when they're one and done?

[jstone420]

I agree with that one an done having a bye will hurt them

You're confused (once again).

The All Pro center, Travis Frederick, was already a member of the Dallas Cowboys when the 2014 NFL Draft was held.

Dallas had hoped Ohio State LB, Ryan Shazier, would fall to them (which it appeared he was on his way to doing). The Steelers grabbed him at 15....the Cowboys chose next....and took Notre Dame All American OT, Zack Martin. He was converted to guard and has been 1st team All Pro since.

Manziel went at 22 (to Cleveland) and the rest is history (yeah, Jerry wanted Johnny Football but he wasn't gonna win that debate...Garrett, Stephen and McClay all made a case for Martin that JJ could not dispute.)

Footnote: had the Browns not bought into the JFF hype, they still could have had their QB of the future / present in that same draft. Teddy Bridgewater went 10 picks later to the Vikes....and Oakland took one at #36...Derek Carr.

This is, of course, assuming your giants can get past their opening WC game at Lambeau Field first, mouth-breather. If they can / do beat a suddenly recharged Aaron Rodgers, then it's Game On. Bring your "Eli-to-OBJ 20-plus targets-per-game" offensive game plan for a 3rd time.....we can't wait! Oh, by the way....with so much on the line, great game vs the Iggles last week. ha

Sidenote: as it stands, the Seahags will not only have to win their WC game (versus Detroit), it's looking like they'd still have a road game (to Atlanta) before even thinking about game-planning for a trip to Big D. Question is can the lame Seattle offense (22 ppg) keep up with the Falcons high scoring O (34 ppg)? Losing all-pro S Earl Thomas is gonna be their eventual downfall....

Hell no. If they put Romo in somebody will hit him and he'll break again and then nobody will want to trade for him next year...well okay maybe a few teams need a quarterback.

Are we talking about the Texans or the Cowboys.

If they're offense is hitting on all cylinders I don't see anybody beating them..except for Tom Shady and the Patriots.
