Unless the Cowboys have a completely new roster in '08, I can see us not winning a game til '09. I just don't see getting all worked up about a game where we will be heavily favored to lose for the foreseable future until our team gets it act together and can stay healthy.

Au contraire mon frere. Hating dallas will never get old.

When did you become an expert on the Skins/cowboys rivalry demographic anyway? The fans in NC are extremely hard core on both sides and we get pretty fired up around here during dallas week.

Whether or not the intensity of our rivalry shows up on the field, I believe it's still alive and well in the hearts of the fans.

Do you for some reason think its ok for the fans to be more into the game than the players. I would think under Gibbs the players would still be into this rivalry.

and no, i do not bitch about everything, but recently ive found it hard to come up with positive things to post on the board.

I really think in the NFL today most rivalries mean more to the fans than the players. Because of free agency there just isn't that total team committment that players had before free agency. That being said I think Skins v Dallas is still a quality rivalry on and off the field.

You could make the case that the rivalry that means the most to the players and carries the most animosity in fans is the Oakland-Denver rivalry. That game is a literal fight and ppl get arrested in those stadiums all the time. Even the players take cheap shots at each other and there is usually a good scrum or two in every one of those games. Also, I think there is also a genuine hatred b/n the Front offices of those two franchises (b/c of player movement and FO most). I still think that the skins-boys rivalry is the most storied and the "best" rivalry in football. I just think Oakland-Denver is a more bitter one.

lol I haven't seen that. I used to ALWAYS see how Dallas has never lost to us in the last 5 years and stuff like that. Now that we have a little bit of a winning streak going, I have never seen anything that talks about it.

great line, and I'm with you. i don't think the rivalry is as fierce as it was in the 70's and 80"s, its still one of the best in sports. the one thing that could renew the hatred is if both teams were good again. the skins just haven't held up their end of that. but a win this week could start it all over again
