Burgold Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 9 hours ago, Warhead36 said: The rivalry with the Cowboys hasn't really been a thing for years now. Our only big regular season game this generation was the 2012 season finale. I can promise you just about any Dallas fan under the age of 40 doesn't even consider us a rival compared to the Eagles or Giants. Sadly, I agree. Redskins vs. Cowboys matters to some of us fans, but I suspect even then it is a remnant for those of us who lived through the glory years for both teams. I didn't get to experience George Allen vs. America's Team when things began to get hot, but I did experience Gibbs vs. Landry/Johnson when both teams were damn good. You need two good teams fighting for something meaningful to have a rivalry. I mean Cleveland vs. Cinci should be a super hot rivalry for the ownership of Ohio, but does anyone care about that at all? Right now, Cowboys are the king of hype who always fall short of expectations. That's probably been true since at least Romo. The Redskins are simply not a team of consequence except for a few rare flashes. Can Rivera make Washington matter? Can Dak make ESPN's dreams come true? If both can happen, then WFT vs. Dallas will matter. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess my real question was the whole Cowboys vs Indian thing and how the rivalry will never be the same no matter how good both teams are....Cowboys vs. Redwolves just doesn't have the same ring to it compared to Cowboys vs Redskins. It was one of the greatest rivalries in all of sports and still would be had we kept the name. I guess time marches on and things change but this one is sad for me. There was nothing like Cowboys vs Redskins as a kid... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingdaddy Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Colts now need a QB due to Wentz injury....we have 3 guys who've all shown they can play in the league. Would you deal Kyle Allen for a 3rd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooleyfan1993 Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Had a dream last night that we won the super bowl in a very close game and that our defensive line manhandled the O Line with like 3 minutes left, and then i went to the super bowl parade. then i woke up😭 man, i really want to experience a super bowl someday soon. How sweet it would be 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you deal Kyle Allen for a 3rd? The injury doesn’t seem to be season ending according to what I’ve read. My guess is they either go with whoever their backup is or find somebody who’s been in the system so they don’t have to learn a new offense quickly. That said, I’d literally trade Kyle Allen for a bag of beans. He’s not a long term solution, and even if you get that 5th back for him, that’s fine. However since he’s third on the depth chart behind Fitz and Taylor, I’m not sure Indy would be looking at him as a potential starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nothing like an old school Cowboys vs Indians rivalry....Yankees-Dodgers, Redskins-Cowboys, Celtics-Lakers, these are the oldest of old school rivalries and now one of them is gone because of our name change. That's all I'm saying....how good of a rivalry can the Cowboys vs. Wolves really be? There's no national appeal as opposed to Cowboys vs. Redskins.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to say the same thing as a previous poster, the Yankees rival is the Red Sox and it's been that way for the generations. As for Dallas and Washington again it's just a name and if the Cowboys and the football team met in the NFC championship game the rivalry will be back.

ClaytoAli Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 (edited) According to the NFL Network’s mobile app, we were the worst team in the division and still won the NFC in 2021. Edited August 3, 2021 by ClaytoAli 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiscoBob Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 So... If conjoined twins played in the NFL, do they take up one roster spot or two? And if only one of them is vaccinated, how do they handle COVID protocols... Just curious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cowboys vs Indians battle was such a great thing for all those years....sad, very sad. Wolves vs Cowboys just doesn't have the same appeal....I feel so sorry for our kids and so fortunate to have been a child of the 70's. One of the main reasons wolves will be extinct in 25 years, is because cattleman kill them to protect their cows, so it's still a battle I suppose.

That’s our schedule from 2019, So, I’m guessing NFL Networks mobile app just doesn’t have the results from last year and that you meant 2020 instead of 2021?
