Did we beat the Seahawks?

Looks like we have a few closet Cowboy fans on here

Nope. Raider fan here.

Uh. Dallas gets downgraded in my book. The only accolades they deserve are to be showered in partially-frozen logs of maggots and sweat peeled by the teeth of a shit-eating dog from the third nut of a fat, hairy retired pornstar on kilometer 12 of a marathon in a swamp filled with Raiders fans and herpes.

Other than North Dallas 40 and Tom Landry's hat and cheerleaders and the 99-yard Tony Dorsett run and the time Drew Pearson introduced himself to me while handing over a Chargers AFC Championship cap, there is nothing good about the Cowboys. They are my least favorite NFC team.

LOL! I reserve this kind of post for the Broncos and Patriots. I think the Broncos will always be my #1 Most Hated Team. Pats a VERY close 2nd.

Shocking! This coming from the guy that said we had 0 chance to beat Seattle in the first place.

IMO, impressive wins can leapfrog teams over others.....but actually downgrading a team after a WIN is ridiculous.
Again, it is just hypothetical media BS that has no bearing on outcomes and standings. Fun exercise and good for fans to debate, but otherwise worthless.

I understand that it's worthless. But you could say the same for everything that goes on around here. It's nothing more than pure escapist entertainment. For me anyway.

And I disagree that downgrading a team for an ugly win is "ridiculous". I think the opposite, in fact. You have to consider your opponent, the margin of victory, how the team played, etc, etc. We BARELY beat a bottom 5 team; a team that we should have shredded. Only those who see the world through brand shiny new homer glasses would think otherwise, IMO. You obviously qualify on that last point.

Hate list

Yes, we beat the Seahawks. Cowboys just got our sloppy seconds.
Go c/-/argers!

Aren't divisional games kinda weird for every team? Seems every year, the most improbable wins happen when some schmucky subpar basement team rises up and stomps all over a way better divisional rival. Happened to us last year in Oakland, didn't this year. If the media is too blind to notice, fuck 'em.

"STILL GOT IT."

That's not something I recall hearing a lot during Bryan's career.

I see nothing wrong with this philosophy. Its just a power rankings thing, which has zero effect on the actual standings. We can make excuses like they 'they were coming off a bye' or 'they were playing for their new coach', but in the end it is what it is. A hard fought win against a bottom feeder team. We never go the lead until late in the 4th quarter.

Why do so many SD fans love to play the victim role? Who cares if the national media does not give us enough credit? The Chargers nor Padres have ever won a SB or WS, nor do either have a winning tradition. Why should the national media jump all over our bandwagon everytime we start off a season well? I just don't understand our obsession with wanting to feel victimized. We even love to blame an East Coast bias yet complain because Dallas and Denver get so much attention, last I checked neither were east coast teams.

The Chargers are playing really well right now and have the potential to win the SB. But right now they have a long way to go and have to prove they are for real before they earn national respect. Stop worrying about what everyone else thinks or feels and just enjoy watching our team play good football and win games. We as a fan base need to learn to enjoy the ride and stop worrying about such insignificant things such as media attention.

How do you figure?

Sorry I don't buy this kind of thinking. Never have. It's like the stupid-ass NCAA logic. "Well Florida State beat North Carolina St by 33. And Florida beat FSU. And Alabama beat Florida. Therefore Alabama > Florida > FSU > NC St."

Dumb.

I would make NE #2, Broncos 3, Eli 4, Chiefs 5. Anybody else 6. Cowboys, Ravens and Steelers filed under 6.

Preach it.
