Didn't the Redskins beat the Cowboys?
 

I knew this was going to happen. Most of the postgame talk today is focused on how the Cowboys lost rather than how the Redskins won. I was just listending to ESPN radio and Mike Tirico made a comment along the lines of, next we'll talk about how the Cowboys screwed up that game. :doh:

Is the media really that in love with the Cowboys that they can't stomach the thought that someone actually went into their house and smacked them around?

Why is it still all about them even in a loss?

Re: Didn't the Redskins beat the Cowboys?
 

Matty,

Read my post of how the mighty have fallen. I keep reading things about how the Redskins Beat the Cowboys and the score is a lot closer then the game was. The radio guys just suck. lol. Cause in print they are giving us our dues.

Re: Didn't the Redskins beat the Cowboys?
 

Anyone else hear the story of how our locker room was over 90 degrees (the AC wasn't working, despite it being nice and cool in Dallas' locker room)? Or how one of our sideline cool blowers was "malfunctioning?" Bull shit. Nice try Dallas.

Throw on Doc Walker. The national media has a pathetic love affair with their Dallas Darlings. I'm tired of it. Jaws gives us props though.

Re: Didn't the Redskins beat the Cowboys?
 

I think most non-skins analysts that watched the game know that we didn't luck into this win, that we WON the game by some good ole fashioned butt kickin.

However, of course, I'm sure ESPN, and the shows, would rather talk about TO, Romo, and all of the other Cowboys, b/c thats the sexy thing to do. I really wouldn't expect anything else.

And I guess thats why i hate the Cowboys.

hey guys this is my first time posting here. I visit all the time just to read and see what the fans that actually live in the D.C. area are saying. I remember reading someone post about missing D. Snyder Celebration well I found it on youtube. just type dan snyder and you can find it.
HAIL TO THE REDSKINS!!!

for the last 40 years,at least in the skins/cowboys games i saw,the media has always been in love with the cowboys.remember in 1982 in the nfc championship all the beat writers and tv reporters said the redskins did'nt have a chance at beating dallas.madden/summerall were the only ones who i remember said that the skins would win.i really do think that cowboy fans are mostly classy,but they all have a you did'nt beat us because we messed up attitude after every loss,especially to a redskins team they see as a pebble in the shoe.my 2 sons in law are cowboy fans,and they are like that.
that's what i would say most of it is.

Re: Didn't the Redskins beat the Cowboys?
 

The standard line before showing the highlights today? "Skins shocking upset". A local TV station here asked the question of which was more shocking, Chiefs over Denver or Skins over Cowboys.

KC over Denver was a big shocker, but a 2-1 Redskins team beating a 3-0 Cowboys team? I don't get why that's a shocker for some people.

Did you happen to see the point spread? The Skins win was a shocking upset.

It was shocking in regard to the spread I guess, but the spread is just something in place to keep the betting money even on both sides.

Were you really shocked about the outcome?

Re: Didn't the Redskins beat the Cowboys?
 

On TV, ESPN has talked both about the things the Cowboys did wrong-not giving the ball to Barber, forcing it to TO; and what the Redskins did right-aggressive playcalling, smart decisions by Campbell, Thrash selling the play on his TD, aggressive running by Portis.

I haven't watched anything today, but after the highlights last night on SC all the talk seemed to be focused on the Cowboys.

what do you expect from a man(jerry jones)who bought off one of his players after michael irvin stabbed him in the locker room?jerry jones is an arrogant piece of shit on his best days,and he's lower than snake piss his other days.i think the league should investigate this shit.

Re: Didn't the Redskins beat the Cowboys?
 

The Cowboys are media darlings because of all the attention they bring to themselves. Add that to the fact that they were pretty much crowned the best team in football after three weeks, and easily deemed Super Bowl favorites. Prior to beating them you would have thought the NFC East only had three teams, because that's what everyone was talking about. We will continue to get no respect from the media until we win a Super Bowl, sign Chris Henry, or Clinton Portis and Santana Moss go to jail.

Re: Didn't the Redskins beat the Cowboys?
 

Epic win! Hope JZ can keep it up. We need to beat Philly. Any word on this Westbrook injury?

Re: Didn't the Redskins beat the Cowboys?
 

Honestly....people are afraid to call us a #1. Look at boxing. There are several people in the same weight class and all ranked. If a 15th placed boxer fights a #1 Champion holding the title belt and wins guess what.....#15 is now #1. I believe some one on here wrote that Howie Long said that or something similar after the game. Everyone had Dallas as the #1 in our division, #1 team in the NFC...the team to beat. Dallas was the team expected to go to the SB. Hell go back and look at the magazines prior to season start. Skins were to be last in the division and not make the play offs. LOL. It was supposed to be Dallas, Giants and Eagles.

Right. Did you also notice that all of the highlights were the Cowboys' touchdowns with maybe one Redskins' one thrown in?

Re: Didn't the Redskins beat the Cowboys?
 

The only person that i heard give us props was none other then Troy Aikmen. He is by far the most neutral commentator out there.


But he does have a hard-on for Clinton Ports

Re: Didn't the Redskins beat the Cowboys?
 

Be glad. The longer we can keep up this image, the better. There is NO question that the point spread and the negative media was a big motivator in the locker room. I've long since stopped caring about this issue.

Agree about Aikmen-- he's among the best commentators and Buck is a pro.

Yeah, I didn't much like that. And let me just say some people here were pretty vocal about that when they came into work this morning. (I wasn't one of them, but some pretty high profile names were basically like "let's not make this about TO again").

The biggest challenge with Sunday night recaps (particularly online recaps) is highlight limitations. There are extensive Redskins highlights in today's segments.

I wonder if we could bring our "Z-SHADES" to road games for instances like this.. or any other cooling equipment. is it legal for us to bring our cooling fans etc..

really? I know i can recall him praising portis...

anyway as far as the media goes... f'em. It's going to take more than that win for anyone to really look at us as a contender. I understand that. I love what I'm seeing from this team and that' not going to change after we lose our next game no matter what the outcome... (it will change if we drop 4-5 in a row lol...) the media doesn't have to see it for us to love it... i think it really adds to the reward we get as fans from our team winning despite being written off by the media...

Re: Didn't the Redskins beat the Cowboys?
 

one of the dallas papers had"shock and flaw"as a headline today.not redskins beat cowboys,shock and flaw.that is such bullshit!!! only in dallas.

[quote=TheMalcolmConnection;483362]Right. Did you also notice that all of the highlights were the Cowboys' touchdowns with maybe one Redskins' one thrown in?[/quote]

I was thinking the same thing. This morning they were talking about our win,
but showing Romo's pass to Whitten for the TD.

One analyst even said we should be talking about how well Redskins played instead of T.O.'s meltdown. This just shows the media loves the Cowboys, especially now that Brady is done for the year.

Re: Didn't the Redskins beat the Cowboys?
 

Like I said in another thread, I don't want all this attention. We don't need all the radio and T.V shows talking about how good we are, and that we are the team to beat. Let the team focus on the next game, and not all the hype.

Re: Didn't the Redskins beat the Cowboys?
 

i hope all those jamfs out there keep ignoring us that way when we win our last game in feburary,we can say"i told you so."

Re: Didn't the Redskins beat the Cowboys?
 

Anybody else really like Trent Dilfer on NFL Live/Primetime? I think he does a great job. I always liked him as a player, and IMO he's spot on as an analyst. And for the record he made his breakdown today much more about what the Redskins DID as opposed to what the Cowgirls DIDN'T do.

Re: Didn't the Redskins beat the Cowboys?
 

Keyshawn on Sportscenter just asked why are we talking about Dallas when they just lost? And everyone began talking over him, saying Dallas is America's team and wouldn't let him express himself. It looks like Keyshawn just stepped on the mothership's toes over the air. There's a man whose not afraid.

Yeah I liked him when he did some spot stuff for NFLN

Re: Didn't the Redskins beat the Cowboys?
 

As long as we keep winning I don't really care how they broadcast after the game.

IMO, Newman did make some bigtime coverage mistakes but on one play that some considered blown coverage, I say Moss made a excellent double move. That s**t was textbook.

The Skins earned that win, I have no problem admitting that. We will see ya'll again, I just hope the Cowboys learn from this game. I think it's good for some teams to have someone come in your house and hand it to you. Now they know it's serious in the NFCE. Real serious. Great game.

Re: Didn't the Redskins beat the Cowboys?
 

Why is everyone so upset with the "lack of love"? Who cares? In fact, it seems the best teams lose year in and year out. The Giants got no love last year and they won it all...I'd rather be the Giants of 2008 than the Patriots of 2008.
