After big Cowboys wins, we've made it a habit here at BTB to celebrate by trolling around the other SB Nation NFL sites and taking a peek at what the fans of other teams had to say while they were watching the game. Today, we visit our friends at the St. Louis Rams SB Nation blog Turf Show Times, as well as some other blogs.
Unfortunately, most of our fellow NFL fans were too busy lamenting their own losses or celebrating their owns wins from the early games - or simply didn't care about St. Louis at Dallas - to comment much on the game. But the Rams fans more than made up for that.
Disclaimer: 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. Some minor edits have been made to improve the overall legibility and meet the requirements of our board, but no other changes have been made, no commentary added.
In the past, I've received some questions asking why there are never any Cowboys fans in these threads. Two reasons: One, if you are a Cowboys 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.

Pregame and First Quarter |
|
| TST Prediction: "St. Louis Rams 31, Dallas Cowboys 14 - Sam Bradford passes for 360 yards and three TDs, with a QB rating above 100. Plus, at least one Rams receiver will have over 100 receiving yards today. The Rams defense scores on a Kyle Orton "pick-six", and recovers two fumbles... How about that, eh?" - Douglas M | |

| by seeds961 on Sep 22, 2013 | 1:12 PM | |
| Rams | Is it just me or does Murray always kick our ass? |
| by dbcouver on Sep 22, 2013 | 1:14 PM | |
| Rams | Can the Rams EVER play with the Lead in a game? |
| by Da Rookie on Sep 22, 2013 | 1:16 PM | |
| Rams | Time for a JJ goaline INT right about now. Or Romo being Romo, that can help too. |
| by ramsfanindia on Sep 22, 2013 | 1:16 PM | |

| Rams | FINNEGAN was RAPED |
| by VTramsFan on Sep 22, 2013 | 1:17 PM | |
| Rams | I just want to be the first to point out that man press ummm, failed on that play. |
| by oldboy1x on Sep 22, 2013 | 1:18 PM | |
| Rams | How dumb was it to leave Cortland on him to start with? Then the no-call? He fell down right in front of you ref. |
| by YoMurph! on Sep 22, 2013 | 1:18 PM | |
| Rams | Finnegan 5'9 Dez 6'2. And were the Rams. It was doomed to fail long before we were all born. |
| by ramsfanindia on Sep 22, 2013 | 1:19 PM | |

| Rams | Can't go vertical with the Cowboys living in our backfield |
| by seeds961 on Sep 22, 2013 | 1:24 PM | |
| Rams | another sack |
| by VTramsFan on Sep 22, 2013 | 1:24 PM | |
| Rams | I've tried to remain very, very optimistic up until today, but this has the early makings of a curb stomping. Let’s hope they can turn it around. |
| by FailureDrill on Sep 22, 2013 | 1:25 PM | |
| Rams | What was that about this O-line not giving any sacks? |
| by ramsfanindia on Sep 22, 2013 | 1:25 PM | |
| Rams | Play from behind... It's all the Rams know how to do |
| by Tavon Awesome on Sep 22, 2013 | 1:25 PM | |
| Steelers | Cowboys game: Looks like the new 88 is living up to his number. Is he taking push off lessons from the master himself? |
| by More Dread on Sep 22, 2013 | 1:27 PM | |
| Rams | their run blocking is beautiful, I'm so effing jealous they can run it like that. |
| by phalanx26 on Sep 22, 2013 | 1:27 PM | |
| Rams | Murray is officially a RAM-Killer |
| by YoMurph! on Sep 22, 2013 | 1:27 PM | |
| Rams | HOW DO WE ALWAYS TURN MURRAY INTO A DARN PRO BOWLER? Be right back. Switching from beer to bourbon |
| by seeds961 on Sep 22, 2013 | 1:28 PM | |
| Chiefs | Dez Bryant got away with a ridiculous push off for the td |
| by saskwatch on Sep 22, 2013 | 1:30 PM | |
| Rams | Fish mentioned this week we have not been tested by a running back yet. |

| by AlwaysARamsFan on Sep 22, 2013 | 1:42 PM | |
| Rams | one good thing- i started murry on my fantasy team. CAUSE OUR D IS CRAP |
| by master hyde on Sep 22, 2013 | 1:44 PM | |
| Rams | Cowboys O-line is eating our D-Line up. |
| by YoMurph! on Sep 22, 2013 | 1:44 PM | |
| Rams | … which is sad cause ive heard all year the only knock on the cowboys is their offensive line |
| by Danteslion on Sep 22, 2013 | 1:45 PM | |
| Rams | we are truly a bad football team. This is terrible, how bad can you get. I thought defence was our stongpoint. This will be a long year |
| by lineman68 on Sep 22, 2013 | 1:45 PM | |
| Rams | … and our team strength is our D line. what does that tell you? |
| by Bralidore on Sep 22, 2013 | 1:46 PM | |
| Rams | dam romo has all day. whatever happened to the strength of our team being the D line? |
| by Danteslion on Sep 22, 2013 | 1:48 PM | |
| Rams | D-Line getting dominated |
| by LA Champ on Sep 22, 2013 | 1:48 PM | |

| Rams | Ok, so it's not 21-0 but can we please start playing now? I'm already gray, afraid of what comes next. |
| by NoAvailableCAP on Sep 22, 2013 | 1:52 PM | |
| Rams | If the Rams don't score a touchdown here I am going to kill something out of rage |
| by Tavon Awesome on Sep 22, 2013 | 1:53 PM | |
| Rams | I'm still watching only because it beats cutting the lawn. |
| by joedog3 on Sep 22, 2013 | 1:54 PM | |

| by phalanx26 on Sep 22, 2013 | 1:58 PM | |
| Rams | Oh hey Selvie! Nice to see you again. |
| by RAMpage28 on Sep 22, 2013 | 1:58 PM | |

| by Rams78110 on Sep 22, 2013 | 2:03 PM | |
| Rams | hahaha that sucks..but sure was nice watching it. |
| by oldboy1x on Sep 22, 2013 | 2:04 PM | |
| Rams | YES WE STOPPED THEM! |
| by ramsfanindia on Sep 22, 2013 | 2:04 PM | |
| Rams | I'm not going to give up, because if you know anything about football 101, rule number 1 is: The Cowboys are never too far ahead to [shoot themselves in the foot] |
| by RG31 on Sep 22, 2013 | 2:04 PM | |
| (3:40) (Punt formation) C.Jones punts 49 yards to SL 16. T.Austin for 84 yards, TOUCHDOWN NULLIFIED by Penalty. | |

| by SoCalJoe on Sep 22, 2013 | 2:04 PM | |
| Rams | Best play of the year, and flags |
| by NoAvailableCAP on Sep 22, 2013 | 2:05 PM | |
| Rams | FLAG! Rams are not allowed to do that. |
| by Tavon Awesome on Sep 22, 2013 | 2:05 PM | |
| Rams | I don't care...that hit by TJ was worth it |
| by addnon on Sep 22, 2013 | 2:06 PM | |
| Rams | Let me in the locker room. I need to talk to these players on special teams. I’m about to throw my computer through the [darned] window. |
| by Warner2Bruce137 on Sep 22, 2013 | 2:07 PM | |
| Rams | Relentless spirit, says Moose Johnston. I’m just… blah. |
| by FailureDrill on Sep 22, 2013 | 2:10 PM | |
| Rams | i think the cowboys know what is coming |
| by hex706f726368 on Sep 22, 2013 | 2:10 PM | |
| Rams | Is it half time yet? I can't take this anymore |
| by Tavon Awesome on Sep 22, 2013 | 2:11 PM | |
| Raiders | Dallas think they have this game in the bag? STL is a 2nd half team. |
| by AlwaysWinBaby on Sep 22, 2013 | 2:12 PM | |
| Rams | i love waiting all week for a football game and then not getting to see the rams get a single first down |
| by TheBirds on Sep 22, 2013 | 2:12 PM | |
| Rams | I would take a redzone field goal at this point |
| by Danteslion on Sep 22, 2013 | 2:14 PM | |
| Rams | 24-3 entering halftime last week |
| by BrokeCollegeKid on Sep 22, 2013 | 2:16 PM | |
| Rams | I'm not worried |
| by BrokeCollegeKid on Sep 22, 2013 | 2:16 PM | |
| Rams | You must be high as [a kite] then |
| by Rams78110 on Sep 22, 2013 | 2:16 PM | |
| Rams | was Hatcher supposed to be blocked on that one? someone didn’t get the memo |
| by BaldBilly on Sep 22, 2013 | 2:17 PM | |
| Rams | "Our offensive line hasn't allowed any sacks this year," we said. "Pass pro isn’t a problem," we said. |
| by FailureDrill on Sep 22, 2013 | 2:18 PM | |
| Rams | On a bright note, at least Sam hasn't been sacked as much as Eli has today so far. He’s up to 6 and getting ass handed to him by the Panthers. |
| by NoAvailableCAP on Sep 22, 2013 | 2:18 PM | |
| Rams | 18 first half yards lmao |
| by Danteslion on Sep 22, 2013 | 2:21 PM | |

| Rams | Murray has 3 runs by my count that have exceeded our entire offensive production |
| by Rams78110 on Sep 22, 2013 | 2:32 PM | |
| Rams | I am beginning to think DeMarco Murray is the second coming of Marcus Allen when he plays the Rams |
| by YoMurph! on Sep 22, 2013 | 2:32 PM | |
| Eagles | too bad the rams can’t get anything going |
| by Boufardi on Sep 22, 2013 | 2:33 PM | |

| Rams | Who said the 2nd half couldn't get worse? |
| by addnon on Sep 22, 2013 | 2:41 PM | |
| Eagles | St Louis is horrible today. They just turned it back over to Dallas. Murray is running like a mad man on them. |
| by Big Slice on Sep 22, 2013 | 2:42 PM | |

| by njccc on Sep 22, 2013 | 2:43 PM | |

| Rams | you sure? check you're stats |
| by LA Champ on Sep 22, 2013 | 2:55 PM | |
| Rams | Easy to fly to the ball, when your defense has been on the field for like 5 mins |
| by ramsfanindia on Sep 22, 2013 | 2:56 PM | |
| 49ers | Wow Dallas is laying it on STL |
| by baykid415 on Sep 22, 2013 | 2:58 PM | |

| Rams | now we've given him his 1st and second best games… SMH |
| by Bralidore on Sep 22, 2013 | 3:12 PM | |
| Eagles | Eli Manning has a QB rating of 23.7. On the bright side, that is still higher than Giants yardage total (20). Sometimes stats are total fun. |
| by Imp on Sep 22, 2013 | 3:12 PM | |
| Rams | I think many of us may have overestimated the timetable on the Ram's return to relevance, myself included. |
| by BornwithHorns on Sep 22, 2013 | 3:14 PM | |
| Rams | I don't wanna overreact but, fire each coordinator. |
| by BradfordCharcoal on Sep 22, 2013 | 3:16 PM | |

| by FlimtotheFlam on Sep 22, 2013 | 3:31 PM | |

| by PaladinRam on Sep 22, 2013 | 3:32 PM | |
