****OFFICIAL DOLPHINS VS. COWBOYS THREAD****

[The Tradition]

It's the Christmas Eve "Can't Beat Winning Teams" Edition!

The Dallas Cowboys, who can't seem to beat anyone outside of JerryWorld Stadium, visit Hard Rock Stadium to take on the Dolphins today at 4:25 p.m. on FOX.

Dallas is coming off a complete beatdown @ the Bills last week dropping their away record to 3-4. What that means for today is anyone's guess.

Meanwhile, Miami is 6-1 at home. What that means for today is anyone's guess.

Weather Report: Cloudy, temps in the mid-70s, little chance of rain with east winds at 12-15 mph.

#FinsUP!

Obviously the smart money is on Miami. That's why I'm taking the Cowboys.

Nice hat! Ho ho ho!

 

[FAUlty Gator]

It is better to have died a small child than to root for the Cowboys.

 

[The Tradition]

Bring back the throwbacks permanently, please!

 

[lucas80]

The fans for the winning team can rightly claim they are a legit team. The fans of the losing team can STFU, and come back when they have beaten a decent team.

 

[The Tradition]

Dallas driving bigly. Miami needs to stiffen up.

 

[lonestar50]

Wow what a stop!!

 

[lucas80]

Dallas driving bigly. Miami needs to stiffen up.

They just bowed up.

 

[The Tradition]

That... Was... AWESOME!

 

[The Tradition]

Waddle getting it done again this week....

 

[The Tradition]

Wow! A 57-yard FG! FinsUP! 3-0.

 

[The Tradition]

Dallas seems to have no trouble moving the ball.

Coach Fangio needs to do something in a hurry.

 

[The Tradition]

So much for no chance of rain....

 

[The Tradition]

I don't agree with going for it there...

 

[lonestar50]

BS call

 

[The Tradition]

Should be 9-7....

 

[The Tradition]

WHAT THE HELL, MIAMI?! WATCH THE PLAY CLOCK!

 

[The Tradition]

#11 looked like he was ready to take that ref out!

 

[The Tradition]

Mostert is a TD machine!

 

[The Tradition]

13-7 good guys!

 

[QChawks]

hope both teams lose

 

[The Tradition]

Wow, the Jags sure didn't show up to play today... woof.

[millah_22]

How are the Cowboys 10-4?

 

[The Tradition]

This game has turned into a punting clinic....

 

[The Tradition]

Sanders is in the zone tonight! 16-7 FinsUp!

 

[jamesvanderwulf]

Announcer referencing Eddie Podolak and the great playoff game played on Christmas day 1971 between the Chiefs and Dolphins. Eddie had him a day in the 27-24 double overtime loss for the Chiefs, 350 all around yards - 85 rushing, 110 receiving, 155 return yards on 3 kickoffs. 2 TDs but 2 fumbles. Bobby Bell said he could run faster backwards than Eddie could foreword, yet Eddie's 78 yard kickoff return set up what should have been a game winning chip shot FG for All Pro kicker Stenerud but he missed it, along with 2 others and the Chiefs gave the game away to the Dolphins...

 

[The Tradition]

Can we stop with the cutsie run plays? They're not working.

 

[The Tradition]

Here comes Sanders again.

Dude is getting a workout today.

How many throws has Tua missed today? JFC. Those guys are breaking open and dummy can't complete the pass

 

[The Tradition]

19-10 FinsUp!

 

[millah_22]

How many throws has Tua missed today? JFC. Those guys are breaking open and dummy can't complete the pass

Dude. Sometimes he looks so good, and sometimes he looks so f'ing bad. My brain can't comprehend.
