    This is Where I Got it Completely Wrong

    Okay, first of all, this isn't the thread where you get to tell me everything I'm wrong about, so settle down. Apparently, that's every single other thread....but anyway..... We are sports fans, we are guys, mostly, and we spend a great deal of time defending our opinions, explaining why we are...

    T Minus One Week and Counting....

    My heart is beginning to beat a little faster. No, it's not the Starbucks Double Chocolate Chip Frappuccino. It's not the contents of my girlfriend's Victoria Secret's shopping bag she just carried in. Its not crystal meth. The first Cowboy preseason game is almost exactly a week from...

    The Jason Garrett Appreciation Thread

    Where I annihilate all the false perception, blatant falsehoods, outright lies, shameless deceptions, and just pure plain lack of comprehension about the next great Head Coach in the illustrious history of YOURS and MY Dallas Cowboys. Embrace the light! Shed your ignorance! Before it's too...

    "Quality of Seasons" Ratio

    Our data pool consists of all team's seasons starting with the 1970 season, the first "merged" season where the AFL became the AFC of the NFL. I typically refer to this period as the "modern" age of NFL football because we have 26 to 32 teams instead of half and there is cross conference games...

    Miss Murray?: Just Pretend We're the Texans!

    For all of you our there that miss Murray, myself included, we'll just say the Cowboys did sign him to 7 mil a year. Unfortunately, in the first week of training camp, he got hurt and will be out for the season. Is that so far fetched? Now everybody is happy. The fans that wanted to keep him...

    NFL Outsiders

    A great site with very interesting statistical data that is more meaningful than the typical stats. One of their most impressive analysis is on the offensive lines. They divide yardage into categories that include 2nd level and open field, which they attribute more to the quality of the RB...

    Nate Newton in Talking Cowboys

    Nate Newton is a guy I respect when it comes to football knowledge and talking about the Cowboys. He really likes the LB squad, really thinks that Kinchen can be really special and should start in the middle during MCCain's suspension. Says that Randle definitely has better vision than Murray...

    How I Became a Fan

    I came to America when I was 13 years old. A hospital in San Antonio was considered the best when it came to treating the type of cancer my mother had. I was born in Edinburgh, Scotland. We didn't play football (American style), basketball or baseball. Needless to say, I had trouble fitting in...

    The History of Rule Changes That Affected Passer Ratings

    Before I begin, a story involving Cowboy quarterback Don Meredith: .....His other constant was physical pain. Meredith tore knee ligaments in an exhibition game in ’64, his fourth season with the Cowboys and the first in which he had the quarterback job pretty much to himself. He played anyway...

    The Cowboys Greatest Postseason Warriors

    #10 Larry Brown. Sure, it's customary to underestimate Larry Brown's contributions to the Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl years when you look at his two Super Bowl INT's, the ones that were responsible for his MVP award. It's correct to declare that he was given these opportunities due to a...

    Ranking the Cowboy Seasons

    Which Cowboy season was the best in history? Which was the worse? It's difficult to express an opinion because, quite often, it's based on personal experience. However, many fans weren't around in the 70's, 80's, even the 90's. Therefore, the era in which you became a fan would probably get...
