Dear Mr. Dungy,

PrintPlease remove your foot from your mouth, as I believe the taste has to be somewhat disgusting. Besides, the mental image is...disturbing. Then I will be so kind as to remove my foot from your hindquarters.
Sincerely,
P.S.--What do you want on your crow?
P.P.S--How many turnovers do I have this December? Just imagine if my defense (and special teams and running game) had shown up against New York, and my kicker and OL had shown up against San Diego in the red zone.
P.P.P.S.--What do I have to do to get a little love around here from even "homer" reporters in the mainstream media?

Watch dungy play it off and say something like he is happy that dallas could find motivation in what he said
but I doubt he will say that he has any regrets about his comments. To be fair his point was correct in the context of the last two games where the offense was inconsistent and the defense would allow offenses to come back to take the lead. Dallas did not look very sharp before this game
Ignore the Mainstream Media, EMBRACE THE HATE!!!!
Honestly,
I can’t vilify Dungy for saying what he said. The Cowboys were coming off a loss to an above average Chargers team, AT HOME, and couldn’t capitalize on numerous scoring opportunities. Their next opponent (The Saints) leads the league or is in the top 5 in many catagories on both sides of the ball.
Even I, an avid & die hard fan, gave them a little to no chance of winning the game. So much so, that I didn’t stay up to watch the game (I live overseas with an 8hr difference from the east coast, which would’ve put the kickoff time at 1:30 a.m). Typically, I stay up and watch but it has been terrible especially with work the next day (Thursday/Friday Weekends).
So, he wasn’t completely off when he said that. The Cowboys didn’t give him much to work with after the Chargers game.

But "no chance"? That's ridiculous. The saying "any given Sunday" wasn't coined
for nothing. I think it verges on unprofessional for him, as a supposedly unbiased commentator, to flap his gums that way.
I also disagree with you regarding the Chargers game; yeah, they lost. By three points to a Super Bowl contender. I think even before the New Orleans game was played, quite a few people needed to put that loss in perspective. Of course the Cowboys shouldn’t have been favored against NO because they hadn’t earned it, and a whole lot of us were justifiably worried how this game would go, but to write them off as completely hopeless? Come on.
The Cowboys should've WON against San Diego. The Cowboys are the better team,
and to brush off the loss by reasoning that the Chargers are a “Superbowl contender” is unacceptable. Every team in the playoff hunt is a Superbowl contender and assuming the Cowboys are one of those teams, then theyshould win those match-ups in order to be seriously considered a real contender.
"What the hell is going on out there?" - Vince Lombardi.
Uh, you miss my point and confirm what I'm saying at the same time. To argue that
the Cowboys had no chance was ridiculous. Period.
Oh come on!
How anal do you have to be to take what he said 100% literally?
The Cowboys would’ve had 0% chance at winning the game if they:
A) Forfeited the game.
B) Had injuries to all the starters in key position.
Other than that, there’s always a chance no matter how remote. Dungy just overstated his NO pick over the Cowboys..lol
"What the hell is going on out there?" - Vince Lombardi.
I dunno. You said you didn't watch. Seems to me you took it pretty
literally.
As for Dungy, as the main poster said, thank you! The Cowboys took what he said to heart, and it worked for them. I hope he says the same thing every week.
Oh, the main poster didn't thank Dungy. I'll do it instead. Thanks, Dungy,
for being the motivator we all know you are!
Where are you from?
I am from the Netherlands
Dungy and the network got what they wanted.
A ton of talk about his statement. If the Boys lose I told you so, if they win they get even more pub. Win Win for them don’t you think.
How bout dem Frogs!!!!
"Will the Cowboys beat the saints?"
Tony Dungy: “Not A Chance!”
HAAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
"Aw Shucks" - Wade Phillips
All I can say is thank you Dungy
Sounds like it was the final straw for this team to hear that opinion from such a well respected ex-coach. After Coach Joe D played that clip for them, sounds like the response was just what we all would hope for.
Props to Coach Joe D for pushing the right psychological button when the team needed it.
Drago says, "We must break you!"
obviously not if he thought we had no chance
Polian created the Colts current team, not Dungy
In Romo we Trust
for crying out loud, everyone calm down
Yeah, he was wrong, but the consensus opinion was that it was going to be difficult for the Cowboys to win. Being wrong does not make him an idiot, and as for overrated, his teams always seemed prepared and were successful. Those teams even won playoff games, which is something that no coach in Dallas has been able to say for a very long time
