CS85 Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Troy Aikman said the following regarding the Cowboys, their homefield and their fans:“I think for a large part – and the fans don’t want to hear this – a lot of the people that attend sports in this town, they’re there because it’s kind of just a place to be seen. I've always said Dallas isn't so much a sports town as it is a winner’s town, and that’s not that unique. Most towns are like that. There are very few towns like Chicago where you can go out there and go 4-12 and they’re stilling selling out stadiums. That’s pretty unique.”“I don’t think Dallas has ever really had a great home field advantage. What I’ve heard is that, ‘Wow, they really lost home field advantage when they left Texas Stadium.’ Texas Stadium really wasn't that different. Having played playoff games in Texas Stadium, that stadium was rocking, it was great...But when we would play in Philadelphia, New York and walk out of the tunnel, I would have to be yelling at the top of my lungs for guys to hear me. And you get on the plane for the flight home and your head would be pounding, you wouldn't have a voice, and that’s just the way that it was. There was no way you could go down there near the goal line and use hard count in an opposing stadium and yet in Texas Stadium, teams did it all the time.” Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board. You are not entertaining, you are a complete joke." twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockstar Matt Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 That was a damn good Cowboys-Ravens game. The Ravens are a very, very good football team, but damn! The Cowboys were so close.Even though we lost, I'm encouraged by what I saw from the Cowboys. If Dan Bailey's field-goal had just gone a little more to the right, the Cowboys would have beaten the Ravens. Ahhh, oh well. It was a good, exciting game. Can't wait for Carolina next week!

That had to have been the worst 30ish seconds towards the end of a game that I have seen in a while. One timeout left, around the 35, 36 yard line, call a play to pick up one or two yards, which is absurd enough in that situation, but not only try to pick up two yards, not even use the sideline. Then stand around and let the clock wind all the way down to where the only play left is to kick a 51 yard field goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the game was still decided on a field-goal. Bailey barely missed it. Cowboys - Lakers - LAFC - USMNT - LA Rams - LA Kings - NUFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninersdd Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 This has to be a joke. How the hell did the Cleveland Browns put up 27 on the Giants? Smith is playing like its 2005 all over again.And the only other team to beat the Niners, the Vikings, are being taken to school by the Redskins, 31-12.

BlueSky Posted October 14, 2012 Author Share Posted October 14, 2012 Woohoo! 6-0 baby! Matt Bryant is amazing. He could've hit that field goal from 60.But it took a last second FG to beat the Raiders (!) at home? The Falcons have some mojo going but I see reality intruding on this Cinderella story in a few weeks. I hope anyway. Could the Niners be any more unpredictable? Or are the Giants really this good?
