BTW, the Browns are not the subject here. The Cowboys loss, where they gave up two touchdowns in a little over two minutes, is.

The fans of the NFC North teams got it easy.
7-9 might be enough to win that division.
Wow, I feel at least .01% less amused by your emotionalism. Perhaps as much as .05% less amused by your emotionalism. You're so effective.
At the end of the season, we will see where the Browns finish. They will likely finish, as they always do, in the middle of some pack, somewhere.
Dallas is not a good football team. But, they do draw more attention than the Browns, the perennial AFC stepchild.
Enjoy this loss, if you must. Rubbing a loss into the face of those of us who are Cowboy fans won't be forgotten.
I'll make it a point to do the same when the Browns suck, which, I'm sure, will occur on a regular basis as the NFL season progresses.
It'll probably be enough to win the NFC Conference. The NFC is what the AFC was during the 80s and early 90s.
Doesn't matter....even the hotties know who the best team is. :o).
Six women, one thousand pounds between 'em.
A new stadium in Baltimore and the name Ravens......
Yeah. I can spell it, too. B-L-E-D-S-O-E.
I have been a Cowboys for as long as I can remember. After moving to NE I started supporting the local team (Go PATS!) and had many 'discussions' with the hardcore Bleedsoe fans that HE was the drag on an otherwise talented team. Gee, look what happened after he left.
I da** near cried when I heard he was going to Dallas. Now I am torn between wanting my old team to do good and Bleedsoe getting the butt kicking his overrated ego so richly deserves. So far the whooping side of me is winning.
We don't want Parcells in Green Bay.
We might have a pathetic excuse for a coach in Titletown, but Parcells is over-rated. Not unless he brings his assistants from about ten years ago.
The biggest mistake the Boys made was moving from Wichita Falls to California for training camp. They wilted in the heat even more than the Redskins. The heat should be a home-field advantage for the Cowboys, but now that they train in 70-degree comfort, they've lost that edge. Jimmy Johnson would have never let this happen.
Well, they do have an offense. Gibbs just needs to let it loose.
He's so wrapped up in minimizing turnovers and playing that 10 yard dink and run that he's become predictable.
Turn loose the dawgs Joe...kick a$$.
oh bye the way, yer absolutely right about the luck. I wouldn't count on that EVER happening again.
I predicted at the beginning that the team would win 3, that Gibbs would account for 3 more and that God would have to intervene for them to get to 9.
Unless Joe opens up the "O", I don't see them winning more than 5 or 6.
The blonde in the back is cute. Probably way too young.
Washington didn't win, Dallas lost. It's the same result though.
I've already predicted that the Browns will only win four games this season right here on these boards. so you can remind me, jot it on a Post-It note, take a picture, or tie a string around your finger. I don't care.
Why do you take this so personally?
I was ambivalent towards the Cowboys until I moved to Dallas, Petronski. Their fans will turn you off from them very fast. They walk on water while winning, but if they are not so good, they are the definition of "fair-weather fans". Pompous, arrogant blowhards when it comes to the Cowboys. And it's sickening. Prime example above is where it was wished on me that I would get syphillis or something. For jaw-jacking about a football game? Just damn!
I love the Browns. But guess what? Like the Cowboys or anyone else in the NFL, they are only a football team, and nothing more.

For the same reason you decided you had to start a thread about the Cowboys' loss.
Goose-gander.
That's what it's all about...a pleasant diversion. It's not a religion or a cult. That's kinda why I like the Indians. They're just about the pleasant respite of a game of baseball. When they lose, Chief Wahoo still smiles (an odd perspective, but an enlightening observation). When they only win 65 games in an entire season, there's always tomorrow, or next season. It's just a game.
Of course it's great when your team wins fantastically or improbably (like the Steelers' playoff win over the Jets last year), but when your team loses unceremoniously, the world does not end (like the Steelers' playoff loss to the Patriots last year). Life--real life--goes on.
And from my perspective, life is too short for talking smack. After all, the Indians' or Steelers' on-field accomplishments ARE NOT MINE. I'm just a fan hoping they'll do well. If they do, I'm not just entertained, I'm uplifted for a while. If they don't do well, I was still entertained, and there's always next year.
That's why it's so funny to me when fans talk trash prior to a big game, or suffer dazzling emotional breaks after a stunning loss. IT. IS. JUST. A. GAME.
The most emotional reaction I have in that situation is to avoid ESPN for a day or two, or maybe mope for a couple hours about what coulda been.
sinkspur, I took you as being better than pettiness. It's just a game. The season is only two weeks old.
