Longtime readers of this site know that we've made it a habit here at BTB to celebrate a big win by trolling around the other SB Nation NFL sites and seeing what the fans of other teams had to say while they were watching the game. The win against the Rams wasn't exactly a big win, but we haven't had one of these posts in while, so we'll simply pretend like it was a big win.
Here's your chance to relive the Cowboys - Rams game via the 'play-by-play' in the open game threads of our fellow bloggers on our sister SB Nation sites. All quotes are taken directly from the open game threads from the SB Nation team sites as indicated in front of every comment. This is not intended to call out any of the posters, it's all in good fun.
Be advised that the language has been edited in instances where I felt it doesn't meet our site guidelines, but no other changes have been made, no commentary added. If you haven't seen one of these threads before, or would like to read more, I've added links to previous posts of this kind at the very bottom of this post.
Usually I only do these posts after games that attracted a large viewing- and commenting audience, usually a Sunday- or Monday Night game. Because this game was not in such a time slot with a lot of viewers, there weren't that many comments to be gathered from other blogs - with the exception of Turf Show Times, the Rams' SB Nation blog. Hence, the majority of the comments gathered are from TST, and I believe you'll come to like them as a sarcastic yet witty and humorous crowd.
I've received some questions asking why there are never any Cowboys fans in these threads. Two reasons: One, if you are a Cowboy fan and watched the game, you probably remember exactly how you felt during the game - no need for a rehash. Two, if you really want to see what other Cowboys fans said, you can always read through the open threads for the game here on BTB.
