I don't see the quote in the OP's post.
The quote is in the subtitle. It's a paraphrase because I didn't have my tape recorder going.
But wasn't the Seau pick the real dagger?
Was that they play where Adams just went for Warren's legs and wrapped him up? Best tackle all game. He made another nice tackle on Harrison on the MBIII endzone scamper (amazing play regardless of one of the most blatant missed holds ever).
The Cowboys played as good as they could, the O couldn't hold the ball and NE wore out the D. Cowboys are lucky because the score could have been worse. To aswer the question........no. No one locally really thought or expected a win, just a good game. Game in which we could see how the team can hold up to one of the best in the league and we got our answer yesterday.
I was laughing too hard to actually see who it was. Hell, he should be playing on the defense.
I am sure "real" local Cowboy fans put this game in perspective. They would much rather lose to NE rather than to Washington, Philly or the Giants. This game was just not that important. It was more a gauge to see where they have to get to.But this is the Cowboy's curse for being "America's Team". Real Cowboy fans just like the rest of us have to listen to a bunch of "America's Team Fans" that know little or nothing about football rant and rave about the Cowboys. I can honestly say that some of the most knowledgeable fans I know are Cowboy fans but most of the dumbest fans I know claim to be Cowboy fans.
Yes, I don't think he was accusing the holder but wondering how the game might have gone had that play been successful. I got the impression that he was talking about how competitive they were. TO was more diplomatic in saying, more generally, that they killed themselves with penalties.
What?
that's not the quote in question, i don't think... he said something about how that play "killed" them or something to that effect.I remember thinking how ridiculous of a comment that was considering the fact that they were only down by 7 and it was the very beginning of the 4th quarter.He said something like, that was the play that really lost it for us.... or something to that effect.Not quite throwing anyone under the bus... but it shows a lack of faith in his defense/teammates. That whole like T.O. had about confidence in the locker-room could be a smokescreen. Also, did it look like Romo and Phillips had been crying to anyone else? I know it's tough to smile after a loss like that but it looked like there might have been some tear-age.
Yeah, TO was real diplomatic when he said he didn't think the Pats were the best team.
Uh, what?
110% agree with the first part. A loss to Washington, Philly or the Giants hurts like hell.I'm not sure if the second part is really needed. From what I've seen since I've been here on these boards including the years I trolled. Other fans have the tendency to call out Cowboy fans just like you just did. Take note you are the first and only one to call someone out. Regardless if anyone wants to believe it or not but there's a legitimate reason why they've been call "America's Team." But only a few people make a big deal out of nothing and it's really not worth the discussion.
I agree with this point. It is never good to say a quote against a single player to the media. I am sure everyone on the Cowboys would have loved to see what would have happened without the holding call.....or the wannabe-Favre shuttle pass. That does not mean you come out and say it.
that sounds like it to me.
something else that was never saidYeah, TO was real diplomatic when he said he didn't think the Pats were the best team.
What interview did I see then, because that's what I've heard him say every time they show that clip. Please enlighten me. Is this another one of those TO semantic denials.something else that was never saidYeah, TO was real diplomatic when he said he didn't think the Pats were the best team.
no... i think what he said right before that was more damning. He was basically inferring that because they didn't get that first down they lost. (despite only being down 7... ok, 14 with the Stallworth TD... with a quarter of ball left to play) I wish i could recall the exact phrase he used... it made me shake my head in disgust.
Come on they did not play as good as they could, for one how many penalties, not sure but atleast 12. How many offsides on 3rd down that gave the Pats a first. I could go on but what is the point. Dallas played far from as good as they could. My main question is why the hell can't the Cowboys do anything in the first quarter this season. That is the key to them being able to make it to the Super bowl. I am at a loss about that.
