Roy Williams has inspired me (Forum bet.)

[Derrville]

Like i said before.... If Dallas wins, they will win out the rest of the season. At least thats what i hope.

And you not the only real Dallas Fan. I havent stopped believing one bit.

 

[kbpsu]

The funny thing is, although I hate the Cowboys, I dont see it as that far-fetched of an idea that they win on Saturday. I dont predict it, but I wouldnt be surprised.

 

[zack54attack]

You should know what I think of ''almost,'' so we're in agreement.

However, the Saints are beatable. Tony Romo is a better quarterback than Chris Redman, and Dallas is a better football team than Atlanta. Dallas has their backs against the wall, which is exactly what they needed coming into this game. I'm just sad to see I'm the only real Dallas fan at VSN.

By your logic saying the Saints almost lost to Chris Redman and the Falcons is stupid. That's like saying, the Saints beat the Rams by 5, and The Bears beat the Rams by 8.. So does that mean the Bears can beat the Saints?

Hell No. I'm a diehard Bears fan, and theres no chance in hell we could beat the Saints this year. Your logic is flawed.

Dude, it's the Bears.

Fuck off.

 

[Newkie]

The Saints have beaten teams with winning records by an average of 18.8 points.

I expect that trend to continue Saturday night.

 

[zack54attack]

Dude, it's the Bears.

Fuck off.

Who cares what team it is? I'm saying your logic is flawed.

 

[kmanharris]

smh at other Dallas fans saying the team sucks. They do not suck.

Will I be apart of this bet? No. Although I think we have the chance to win I am not trying to get banned if we lose.

There is a reason the Saints are undefeated, it is because they are a great team. Dallas has the potential to get there but just haven't yet (or in some peoples minds can't).

We shall see come Saturday night.

 

[Nukleopatra]

Words cannot describe how disappointed I am with Dallas fans right now. I mean, it's a month banning, even if Dallas was to lose. You guys have the balls to talk shit about Roy Williams and Wade Phillips, but you can't even show confidence in the team you claim to love, the way they do?

You know what? Fuck all of you.

Wade Phillips > You.

Remember that when Dallas wins... Wade Phillips actually has a right to celebrate, unlike you.

 

[Nukleopatra]

Saints easy. I'll wear Cowboys avatar and sig of your choice until the end of the season if they win. (Note: Season includes playoffs)

Let's say I had made a Arizona/SF forum bet - This guy right here, who obviously has balls (pics accepted,) would have stepped up to the plate, without thinking twice. Not because the 49ers are 13-0, but because he has confience in the team he loves.. Guess what? He would have won.

I apologize to Eagles/Giants fans, who said Dallas has the weakest, most cowardly fans in the division. I actually thought Dallas fans took after their owner. I was wrong. No biggie, I'll go in this alone.

I can't see Dallas upsetting New Orleans.
Every team gets pumped up for Dallas and a prime time game.
New Orleans pretty much can't be stopped on offence and I can't see Dallas' inconsistent offence doing much agains the Saints.

Saints 34 Cowboys 17

 

[kmanharris]

I would have accepted it. Wouldn't have high hopes but a picture under my name isn't that meaningful to me...

he was talking about being banned for 30 days, not a picture under your name

 

[Nukleopatra]

he was talking about being banned for 30 days, not a picture under your name

Yeah.

People still make picture bets? Hell, I'd sport a Drew Brees avatar for a month, who gives a fuck? As a matter of fact, when Drew Brees loses in the playoffs, again, I'll sport a Drew Brees avatar for 30 days, to help us all remember what a memorable, wasted fucking season it was. Because even losers deserve some credit.

Key word is almost. Im pretty sure they get porter back this week along with fujita who i didnt think was a relly big part of the D until i saw troy evans play. I cried a little after watching him wreck shit and not in a good way. Rayman how are you going to call the dome overrated? Have you ever been there? Im sorry people actually get into the games there instead of turning it into a circus with a 50 foot screen thats shows 3D because the boys need anything to distract fans that the team cant seem to get it together in the month of december.

Yeah, the dome gave you a tremendous homefield advantage before Hurricane Katrina destroyed the city.



Give me a break. This isn't college football. It's a nice story, but 60,000 screaming people aren't what have made the Saints worlds better in the last 5 years. The hiring of Sean Payton, coupled with the arrival of Brees and a host of playmakers has.

 

[Derrville]

Im not saying they will win, i fully expect the Cowboys to get stomped, im just saying if they do win i think it will light a fire underneath them to where they will win out the rest of the season. New Orleans is very beatable right now. Theyre not blowing teams out. If the defense can prevent big plays Dallas WILL win, I have no doubt about it. The issue ive always had was the defense and its inability to make plays when the team needed the most.

I hope they win and i have this feeling in my gut that i havent felt sense the Eagle game.

 

[Nukleopatra]

I'm telling you, Ray, Dallas has the speed and the talent to match the Saints point for point in that dome. Dallas is 3rd in total offense, so I'm clueless as to where this whole ''Dallas has no offense'' argument came from. Dallas also has a higher ranked defense than New Orleans. I firmly believe that Dallas is a team that can beat New Orleans not only this weekend, but in the playoffs.

Step up to the plate, Ray. Wade Phillips is counting on you.

 

[Rayman]

And I would like you to point out when I said "Dallas sucks".

No, I never said that.

I HAVE said, that they have severely underachieved the last two years, and when that happens, it falls on coaching. I almost wish they'd tank these last games so that there's no hesitation on Jerrah's part to jettison the doughboy. Almost.

And lol @ those of you who spent the last few seasons telling me it's Tony Romo's fault. It falls squarely on three people-

1) the fat doofus calling himself a head coach who wouldnt know aggression if it bit him in the ass

2) the supposed "genius" ginger that calls plays straight out of Tecmo Bowl

3) the egomaniac upstairs who won't hire a disciplinarian HC because it cramps his style

Fuck that shit. They've disappointed me for the last time. I'll just lower my expectations from here on out, and if by some minuscule chance they actually turn it around, I'll just be pleasantly surprised.

Besides, I'd still be a "homer" if I showed the slightest bit of happiness should they win Saturday regardless.

 

[bucky]

Nuke...You're funny as hell dude!!!!!!

 

[Tailback U]

It's funny how everyone hates Nuk at first and then he somehow manages to make everyone fall in love with him without ever changing a thing about himself.

I think Dallas has a chance but I don't think they'll win.

Despite what a couple of you may think, the Saints are in fact much better at home than on the road. Credit "the dome" or whatever you want, but Drew Brees' stats are much better at home and the team as a whole plays much better at home.

The fact that the Saints have also played their best football against the better teams they've faced this year also has me believing that they will come ready for Dallas.

W @ Philly 48-22
W Vs. NYG 48-27
W Vs. NE 38-17

I'm the bad guy? How did that happen?

There was nothing 70,000 screaming people could do that would have helped any of the shitty defenses the Saints put out in the field from 1992 on.

But when you have good players on defense that can take advantage of an opposing offense's mistakes, playing in a dome with 70,000 screaming fans does impact the game.

It happened earlier this season against the Giants. The dome was rockin', Eli called for Ahmad Bradshaw to pick up a blitz, Bradshaw couldn't hear it and Manning was pressured (by the blitz) into throwing a pick. Bradshaw admitted as much after the game.

Sure, it's just one small example. But teams with GOOD players do feed off of it, making the dome a tangible homefield advantage. It's not the reason the Saints are 13-0, but it has played at least something of a factor, however small it may be.
