The Prophecy
 

I might get beat up for saying this, but compare our team to last years Dallas.

Dallas 06 and Washington 07 were both:
-9-7 in the regular season
-lost first round playoff game to Seattle
-old coach left the team
-new coach (lets assume GW) steps in

Leads to:
-13-3 record
-breakthrough season for QB
-4-2 in division
-consistent victories

Thoughts??

Re: The Prophecy
 

Funny I pointed out these same similarities to a friend. I hope it holds true

Re: The Prophecy
 

I love this kind of crap! To add a little more:

Old coach leaves after 4 years
New coach was a top Defensive coordinator who failed as a Bills head coach

Re: The Prophecy
 

Since Tony Romo didn't become Dallas' starter until halfway through the '06 season does that mean TC is the QB to take us to the promised land?

Re: The Prophecy
 

Uh, so if dallas wins the super bowl... we will win the super bowl.

I'm not too sure what i want.

Re: The Prophecy
 

I've thought of these parallels as well. The fact that it was Parcells & Gibbs is funny too. I think Parcells may have started w/the g-men a year after Gibbs w/the Skins, but not sure on that.

Romo had already broke through in 2006.

Man, I hate that guy.

And Lincoln was shot from a book warehouse, while Kennedy was shot by a bear in a whorehouse.

Re: The Prophecy
 

This will only come true if our new head coach, quarterback, and owner all show up in a crappy Pepsi Max commerical with Maui from season 2 of The Wire pretending to be our OC.

And Lincoln had a secretary named Kennedy, and Kennedy had a secretary named Lincoln!

Seriously though, cool thread. Interesting similarities

Re: The Prophecy
 

The similarity ends with Jason Garrett. He is the true difference maker from a coaching standpoint. We (hopefully) keep Saunders, so our same system is in place where Dallas has a new system.

Sounds like the old Lincoln/Kennedy presidency similarities. I would be very happy should it come to fruition though....13-3 with a bye/home playoff game sounds sweet 12 months from now.

Re: The Prophecy
 

Well, I love the omens, but thus far, none of them have come true. Like How the Skins in Gibbs 2nd season won it all.
I love the speculation, and of course I will root for it, but things just haven't worked for us like that.

Speaking of that commercial, what the f*ck was Jones thinking?

"You take those, I'll take these."

I hope that's supposed to be funny, because could you imagine Snyder doing that to Saunders?

LOL! Nice.

By the way, an interesting thing about that commercial is the change they made to the original. In the original, Jones grabs the headphones and says, "C'mon, do I have to do everything around here?" For some reason they changed it to him tossing the bottle and saying, "You take this, I'll take these." Not sure why they made the change, or why I'm wasting time pointing out that they did.

Re: The Prophecy
 

I really, really hate it whe comparisons are made of our team to a 40 year old franchise. Our B&G is over 70 years old and is rich in history and glory!

I seriously doubt many dallas fans can sing all of the words to their fight song!

Maybe hate is not strong enough for those cow-not-quite-men!

They are simply not worthy!

Re: The Prophecy
 

I would be surprised if it holds true but what else can we talk about when we are 8 months from the opening day.

Re: The Prophecy
 

however, just to put it out there. The cowboys are in an EXTREMELY better position than we are right now.
They have something like 18 of their 22 starters at under 30 and we have only 10. They are 20 million under the cap and we are 20 million over the cap next year. They have 2 first round picks.

On top of all that is the obvious; they won 13 games. Looking good for the cowbitches right now.

Have to concur here. Forget all the eerie similarity stuff. Too many folks thought we were SB bound in '05, then '06, etc based on stuff they dug up. Looking for patterns and into the past has proven pointless. Every year is different and every franchise is not the same, meaning they are dealing with different circumstances. Just have to wait for the free agency period and the draft til you can even begin to get a pulse on '08.

Aw man,eight months till opening day. I knew that in my mind,but it's hell to read it. :)

Ha, although Wade Phillips actually didn't fail as the Bills' head coach. His worst season with the Bills was an 8-8 season. The other two were 10-6 and 11-5.

Yoda - "Ah...that which to you speaks is your fear. For what feel you is the shroud of the Dark Side of the Farce. Of fear empty yourself and let you the Light Side guide. If do you this, as with all who follow the Light, a Jedi of great standing to you will come who many Superbowls will win."
