Are you ****ing kidding me? You obviously don't watch too many Cowboys games.

Dallas is barely over .500 at AT&T stadium since it opened in 2009, and have 7 penalties to 2 for TB tonight including that last holding penalty taking away a TD.

If anything the refs have not been fair to the Cowboys since they opened the new Stadium although I don't have the overall penalty stats since 2009, but I'd bet it's not in the Cowboys favor.

If you want to compare an NFL team at home to the habs at the forum, I wouldn't be surprised if it was the Patriots at Gillette Stadium, who I think have one of the best home records in the NFL since Gillette Stadium opened in 2002.

I dunno 8) .Your a Cowboy guy so you would have the stats.But everytime I turn the tv on I see a ghost flag that kills visitors drives.As for the Pats..Yes they have gotten some great calls in their favor at key times at home over the years.I will not deny that. SIDE NOTE..Is there anything better then watching Jerry Jones heart break in the NFL ? Lol He is reason most fans of other teams despise them.

I'd be shocked if there wasn't. The defense has been carrying that JV offense since the beginning of last year.

40 years ago the Patriots had a playoff game outright stolen from them.

I can't find any penalty stats for the last few years in each Cowboys home game, but I can assure you they are not treated even remotely close to how the habs are favored at home, (and on the road for that matter).

For what it's worth, I don't particularly like Jerry Jones either because of the way he meddles with the coaching staff etc, but he does spend lots of money to try to field a good football team.

Fenway, looks like you had a big vcash payout eh?

 

[N o o d l e s]

That's why Raiders fans can suck it with the *****ing about the tuck game

I did very well at the Breeder's Cup and betting the Pats and against Cleveland and the 49ers I have done well

I was a teen in high school and I was so pissed.

Sam Cunningham could have ended the game by pile driving the Raiders safety (George Atkinson I think) got a first down and game pretty much over

They win that they win SB

If they won though how would history change? Would Sullivan have been able to keep team

No way of knowing but maybe we are a mess now and Patrick Sullivan is the John Mara, Irsay, Davis, Rooney, Bidwell kid inheriting the team

No bleeping kidding

Exactly

I actually thought it was fixed and still do

Dreith was out of control

 

[Johnnyduke]

Poor emmanuel sanders blaming the cover 2 defense as to why he did nothing yesterday. Don't have the exact quote but basically downplaying how butler did against him. As andy hart just said, if it was the cover 2 defense that shut him down, guess every team should run it! You did nothing emmanuel. Just keep quiet and move on to next week.

Thanks for the article.

Whether one loves or hates Jerry Jones, he loves his Cowboys, and his Stadium, and the spotlight, and recognition, and control, and stirring the pot, and power, and money and being rich, and.............(feel free to fill in the blanks).

...but he really does love his team.

George Steinbrenner of NFL Not a doubt he is in it to win.So many good teams its tough.

They have had a SB caliber team on both sides of the ball now for the past 5 years or more. They're O line has been one of the best in Football for years also.. And like that other poster said Jerry Jones absolutely loves his Cowboys..Actually Texas is a football crazed state.

O yes.Love their football.Amazing stadium.Would love to see Cowboys and Giants meet again with "Go home on the line".

I am a NY Giants fan and tho I have no faith in Eli Manning, he can just about get it done with a real good defense, and that they have. But it will be very hard to beat the Cowboys at Dallas for a 3rd straight time..

 

[BklyNBruiN]

I'll say this, there is one team that NE doesn't want to play in the SB and that is the NY Giants.

That Landon Collins is a beast..Wat hed him stop guys dead in tracks like Whitten..

As a rival, I never really liked the Giants, although I do respect their team, and love the fact that they are definitely "Patriot killers".

That's a very good analogy.

That's like the Habs beating the Blackhawks in the Stanley Cup Finals and a Bruins fan loving it.

TJ Ward says the Broncos dominated the Pats.

This is pretty funny. Sounds like Harbaugh on heavy drugs with "Their RB hold the ball with two hands! "

The only coach in the NFL that owned Bill Belichick is Tom Coughlin.

Coughlin is a strange dude and he turned down a chance to coach the Giants in 1993 because he wanted another crack at Lou Holtz and Notre Dame in 1993. ND had run up the score against BC in 1992 and Coughlin seethed. He got even in 1993.
