Re: It's F'ing Dallas week
 

Hey, just wanted to say good to be back, sorry I disappear after the super bowl- I'm gonna make a real effort not to do that this year. And omg omg Dallas in week 1! For those of you who don't remember me i'm the 20 something who is somehow new to football 0.o. But none the less, Dallas in week one is like woah. I almsot got to go to this game with a group but my car needed repairs last minute before they were buying in -_-.

I call...hmm... i think a low scoring game. 16-8 Skins. I know the big issue with Dallas is all there staff changes but umm...isn't there a major one for us to we aren't talking about here? i seem to recall a Zorn guy on the sidelines before...

[quote=firstdown;730252]I heard the entire Dallas line was trying to get out of the game because they know AH is pissed and is looking to take it out on someone.

Damn, I wish we had this #92 instead of that clown we signed for all that money.

Re: It's F'ing Dallas week
 

Bill Simmons view on the Cowboys is great and correct:
"The Cowboys remind me of the Kardashians in that their strongest talent is a relentless ability to remain relevant. Much like the Kardashians successfully created the illusion that they should be famous, the Cowboys successfully created the illusion that they should be a Super Bowl contender. And they didn't even have to leak a sex tape to do it. You know what Dallas' record has been since 2000? 82-78. You know how many playoff games it has won over that stretch? One. That's right … one more playoff win than Buffalo and Detroit.

As with the Kardashians, it's all about the packaging. We consider Tony Romo an elite QB because he dates celebrities and puts up big fantasy numbers; so what if he freezes in big games? We consider Jerry Jones an elite owner because he splurged on a magnificent stadium and matched wits with Ari Gold; so what if he never built a Super Bowl team without Jimmy Johnson? Dez Bryant has been reinvented as the steal of the 2010 draft based on a bunch of preseason practices that nobody saw; so what if half the league passed on him because teams thought he was a head case? Most fans consider the Dallas offense as "elite" because it has a few high fantasy picks; so what if they don't have a single elite offensive lineman? Every Cowboys Super Bowl pick includes the caveat, "They're returning 20 of 22 starters from last year"; so what if it means they're returning 20 of the 22 starters the Vikings trounced in January by 31 points?

Even the Kardashians thing makes more sense to me. They learned all their tricks from Paris Hilton; there are three of them; they have a catchy name; they don't say anything controversial or incriminating; they only date celebrities, athletes and reality-TV-ready degenerates; and Kim (their fearless leader) is the perfect goddess for her time: a multi-new-media icon (Internet, reality TV and Us Weekly) with a definite hook (her butt), a tawdry past (her sex tape) that wasn't really all that tawdry (the camerawork was bad, and you could barely see anything) and no discernible talent whatsoever (which doesn't matter, because you don't need talent to be famous in 2010). That smoke-and-mirrors routine should work in pop culture. In football? No. And yet, somehow, the Dallas Cowboys have the fourth-best odds to win this year's Super Bowl (8-1). I give up."

Mosely is another guy who I generally detest, the above article included.

Re: It's F'ing Dallas week
 

Mosely is honestly just a pain in the ass. We could beat every team this season, win the Super Bowl and he'd still find something wrong with the Skins.

I'd actually prefer for them to get along. Rivals that also serve as friends always seems more intriguing then people who simply hate each other, if anything we have the players for those types of feuds. Of course it's no surprise that they get along, when it comes down to it Snyder and Jones are the NFL's biggest money makers so bouncing ideas off of each other is important in terms of success for the league.

Re: It's F'ing Dallas week
 

I do like that Mosley says what he thinks without trying to pander to the "you hate my team!" commenters, but sometimes he thinks things like "Albert Haynesworth wasn't valuable on the field last season." And then no evidence can change his mind, even when it was overwhelming that he 1) played more often last year than in the two prior years, and 2) was just as effective if not more, once you account for effects of scheme.

I think Albert will decline pretty significantly from his ON FIELD production last year, but I suppose the good part of being lambasted like he has this offseason is that anything he actually accomplishes this year will be seen as something the Skins are receiving in addition to baggage, not as a decline in the player.
