As we've done repeatedly in the past, today we're re-living yesterday's game by taking a peek at what the fans of other NFL teams had to say while they were watching the Cowboys beat the Colts to win the NFC East.
Disclaimer: All quotes are taken directly from the open game threads from the SB Nation team sites as indicated in front of every comment. Some minor edits have been made to improve the overall legibility of the quotes and to satisfy the site guidelines of our board, but no other changes have been made, no commentary added.
On some of these Trolling The Nation posts, you can't help but feel a certain Schadenfreude for the fans of the opposing teams, on others you feel a little sad for the opposing fans. We'll call that feeling "Forty-Burger Sadness."
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.
Pre-game and First Quarter |
|
Colts | At game. It’s pretty electric but I feel a Colts win coming on |
by oxdp941 on Dec 21, 2014 | 3:53 PM | |
Colts | Only reason I would want us to lose this is so the Eagles are knocked out of the playoffs. |
by luck-ycoltsfan19 on Dec 21, 2014 | 4:10 PM | |
Eagles | Colts 38 Cowboys 24. Colts will get a few quick scores and take a commanding lead right at the beginning. Our playoff hopes live for another week. |
by wilson25 on Dec 21, 2014 | 4:22 PM | |
Eagles | Half of me is rooting Colts. The other half just wants this torture of a month to end early with a Dallas win. |
by zracer71 on Dec 21, 2014 | 4:27 PM | |
Colts | I have a bad feeling about this game |
by luck-ycoltsfan19 on Dec 21, 2014 | 4:29 PM | |
Colts | This is not looking good... |
by CrownStephens724 on Dec 21, 2014 | 4:30 PM | |
Colts | Romo is killing us running??? |
by RyanGrigsonsDraftPicks on Dec 21, 2014 | 4:30 PM | |
Colts | Romo channeling his inner Russell Wilson. |
by aplethoraofpunk on Dec 21, 2014 | 4:30 PM | |
Colts | If they could contain Romo scrambling we'd be in good shape. |
by EVLGNUS on Dec 21, 2014 | 4:31 PM | |
Seahawks | Colts defense looking good. |
by shams on Dec 21, 2014 | 4:32 PM | |
PENALTY on IND-J.Freeman, Taunting, 15 yards, enforced at DAL 48. | |
Colts | Taunting is such a dumb penalty |
by jbacon55 on Dec 21, 2014 | 4:33 PM | |
Colts | That cost us 7. Guaranteed |
by RyanGrigsonsDraftPicks on Dec 21, 2014 | 4:33 PM | |
Eagles | Looks like the Eagles D out there. Big stop on third down and then the flag flies… |
by wilson25 on Dec 21, 2014 | 4:34 PM | |
Colts | Cowboys meet the Colts D. Cowboys: "Well thanks - it’s great to meet you!" |
by aplethoraofpunk on Dec 21, 2014 | 4:35 PM | |
Colts | It’s like we forget the TE is eligible to catch the football. |
by strandedincarolina on Dec 21, 2014 | 4:35 PM | |
(6:40) (Shotgun) T.Romo pass short middle to T.Williams for 9 yards, TOUCHDOWN Cowboys 7 - Colts 0 |
|
Colts | I hate this team. They cannot be disciplined even for one second. The level of stupidity of some players is beyond unreal! |
by FrenchColtsLover on Dec 21, 2014 | 4:37 PM | |
Colts | That didn't look too hard for Dallas. |
by strandedincarolina on Dec 21, 2014 | 4:37 PM | |
Colts | Looks like we are screwed this year. Got dumb players like Freeman, Landry, Toler. A dumb GM. No chance. |
by FREDDIEMARKS on Dec 21, 2014 | 4:38 PM | |
Colts | Got a feeling if the offense doesn't get it going from play one, this game could get out of hand quick |
by RDReynolds on Dec 21, 2014 | 4:38 PM | |
Colts | Now watch Dallas stop us in 3 plays hahaha |
by Big Red Fred on Dec 21, 2014 | 4:39 PM | |
Colts | If this is a three and out ima have to break stuff |
by Luck Inc. on Dec 21, 2014 | 4:39 PM | |
Colts | Oh Lord. |
by aplethoraofpunk on Dec 21, 2014 | 4:43 PM | |
Colts | 3 and out |
by Big Red Fred on Dec 21, 2014 | 4:43 PM | |
Colts | Wow we are going to get killed |
by Big Red Fred on Dec 21, 2014 | 4:44 PM | |
Eagles | C'mon Colts don't even bother with the run. Start shredding that garbage Dallas secondary. |
by StoneColeKiller58 on Dec 21, 2014 | 4:44 PM | |
(4:36) (Punt formation) P.McAfee pass thrown off fake punt incomplete at the Colts 35 | |
Colts | I just cant believe that |

Colts | Wow great field position yet again |
by Big Red Fred on Dec 21, 2014 | 4:45 PM | |

by FlannelBacon on Dec 21, 2014 | 4:45 PM | |

by It's Magc on Dec 21, 2014 | 4:45 PM | |
Colts | SWEET CHRISTMAS |
by RDReynolds on Dec 21, 2014 | 4:45 PM | |
Texans | The Colts are so going to be 1 and done in the playoffs |
by Bleyd on Dec 21, 2014 | 4:46 PM | |
49ers | Colts Colts Colts. What can I say? That was some of the worst opening play calling I have ever seen. |
by McTee on Dec 21, 2014 | 4:46 PM | |
Bengals | Wow. Fake punt, wide open receiver… Drrrrrrrrrop! |
by Oregonbengalsfan on Dec 21, 2014 | 4:46 PM | |
(4:30) T.Romo pass deep right to D.Bryant for 19 yards, TOUCHDOWN. Cowboys 14 - Colts 0 |
|
Colts | Toler covering Dez isn't going to work |
by RDReynolds on Dec 21, 2014 | 4:46 PM | |
Seahawks | Dez Bryant on this team would be a dream come true |
by Zane , on Dec 21, 2014 | 4:46 PM | |
Colts | How you stop that, I don't know. Vontae wasn’t stopping that. |
by deidunxcolts254 on Dec 21, 2014 | 4:47 PM | |
Colts | So two idiotic plays = 14 point hole |
by RDReynolds on Dec 21, 2014 | 4:47 PM | |
Seahawks | Yay Cowboys who I was rooting against until just before this game started! |
by Rithmckk on Dec 21, 2014 | 4:47 PM | |
Seahawks | On top of all his other advantages Bryant is a master of the OPI |
by shams on Dec 21, 2014 | 4:47 PM | |
Bears | Dallas up 14-0 on Indy already... |
by SomeGuyNamedDave on Dec 21, 2014 | 4:47 PM | |
49ers | Wow, having a top-10 WR really makes things easy... |
by stultus on Dec 21, 2014 | 4:47 PM | |
Redskins | Colts you suck. |
by kilbyman on Dec 21, 2014 | 4:48 PM | |
Colts | Pro: Andrew Luck didn't throw a pick 6 |
by RDReynolds on Dec 21, 2014 | 4:48 PM | |
Colts | Best passing team in league against weak cowboys secondary, so what do we do? Open with 3 straight runs for nothing. I’m tired of these freaking idiots |
by LBizZLE on Dec 21, 2014 | 4:51 PM | |
Colts | If this game doesn't highlight the incompetence of our coaching, nothing will. |
by strandedincarolina on Dec 21, 2014 | 4:51 PM | |
Colts | Another 3 and out? |
by aplethoraofpunk on Dec 21, 2014 | 4:52 PM | |
Eagles | I have a feeling Tony is going to give the Colts a couple gifts this game. Then it's up to the Colts to say please and thank you |
by pheenom on Dec 21, 2014 | 4:52 PM | |
Colts | Yep, this is going to get out of hand |
by RDReynolds on Dec 21, 2014 | 4:53 PM | |
Colts | 1 and done in the playoffs, this team is going nowhere with this coaching staff. |
by kage*1984 on Dec 21, 2014 | 4:54 PM | |
Seahawks | Wow Phil Simms has gone full Cowboy homer for this game it looks like. Which in reality makes basically zero sense. |
by rcuosukgi42 on Dec 21, 2014 | 4:54 PM | |
Colts | Bryant is just too much to defend |
by anoll28 on Dec 21, 2014 | 4:57 PM | |
Colts | Our defense is getting eaten alive. Absolutely eaten alive. |
by aplethoraofpunk on Dec 21, 2014 | 4:57 PM | |
Colts | 21-0 coming |
by RyanGrigsonsDraftPicks on Dec 21, 2014 | 4:59 PM |
Second Quarter |
|
Jets | Man, they keep reshowing that first TD pass by the Cowboys. What a pretty design. How a man like Mornhinweg, who has been an OC for so many years, is utterly unable to come up with a single nice play in the red zone all year is just incomprehensible. |
by JetFanOverseas on Dec 21, 2014 | 5:00 PM | |
Seahawks | I don't see how Colts homers say that Vontae Davis is an elite CB. Dude is getting eaten up by Dez Bryant |
by King_Rajesh on Dec 21, 2014 | 5:00 PM | |
Colts | 1st quarter is over and Luck has thrown one pass. |
by strandedincarolina on Dec 21, 2014 | 5:00 PM | |
Seahawks | When he and Romo are in sync, Dez Bryant can thrive on a steady diet of elite CBs |
by shams on Dec 21, 2014 | 5:01 PM | |
Jets | Cowboys lookin strong. |
by Crackback on Dec 21, 2014 | 5:02 PM | |
Colts | NUMBER ONE OFFENSE |
by jbacon55 on Dec 21, 2014 | 5:03 PM | |
Colts | 6 total yards, guys |
by RyanGrigsonsDraftPicks on Dec 21, 2014 | 5:03 PM | |
(14:19) (Shotgun) T.Romo pass short middle to C.Beasley for 24 yards, TOUCHDOWN Cowboys 21 - Colts 0 |
|
Colts | Can we wave the white flag, pack it up and go home? |
by Adam876 on Dec 21, 2014 | 5:04 PM | |
Colts | When the big boys strap on the pads the Colts soil themselves |
by horseshoe head on Dec 21, 2014 | 5:04 PM | |
Colts | Hahahahahahahahaha. Pathetic |
by kage*1984 on Dec 21, 2014 | 5:04 PM | |
Bengals | Dallas routing the Colts |
by occams_tiger_teeth on Dec 21, 2014 | 5:04 PM | |
Colts | I feel like the Colts are just trolling us now |
by RDReynolds on Dec 21, 2014 | 5:04 PM | |
Cardinals | Wow... Dallas is just steamrolling the Colts. 21-0 just one minute into the second. |
by Swangahouse on Dec 21, 2014 | 5:04 PM | |
Eagles | On the plus side, it looks like our loss yesterday won’t make any difference. |
by groot on Dec 21, 2014 | 5:05 PM | |
Colts | THROW IN THE TOWEL |
by Luck Inc. on Dec 21, 2014 | 5:05 PM | |
Colts | Indianapolis Indiana, drop city USA |
by Beckman1993 on Dec 21, 2014 | 5:07 PM | |
Colts | Another 3 and out. Fun times. |
by aplethoraofpunk on Dec 21, 2014 | 5:08 PM | |
Colts | When did Luck become terrible on 3rd down? |
by It's Magc on Dec 21, 2014 | 5:09 PM | |
Colts | I hate everyone on this team except for Luck and Wayne but Wayne has been pissing me off lately |
by Kyle2013 on Dec 21, 2014 | 5:09 PM | |
Seahawks | I pity these foals |
by William & Polly on Dec 21, 2014 | 5:09 PM | |
Jets | Love me some Dallas Cowboys right now. I hope they knock the Eagles out of the playoffs right here, right now |
by MachlinT on Dec 21, 2014 | 5:10 PM | |
Texans | Cowboys' defense is about as effective against the Colts as we were last week. Difference is this is what happens when you combine that with a competent offense. |
by Sugel Mendoza on Dec 21, 2014 | 5:10 PM | |
Colts | Another 3 and out? Not watching this crapola show anymore..... |
by BoilerVaulter on Dec 21, 2014 | 5:11 PM | |
Colts | This is beyond comical. But I can’t look away |
by goluckycolts on Dec 21, 2014 | 5:11 PM | |
Colts | Could Witten be more open? |
by CrownStephens724 on Dec 21, 2014 | 5:12 PM | |
Seahawks | Heavens above, the Dallas O-line is making me angry. |
by rcuosukgi42 on Dec 21, 2014 | 5:12 PM | |
Redskins | As much as I hate the Cowboys, I have to admit, they will be at the top of the NFC East for quite a while. They are doing it the right way, building from the inside out. |
by bppjr on Dec 21, 2014 | 5:13 PM | |
Colts | Eagles fan here. I know this game doesn’t mean much to your boys, but a come back to stun Romo at home would nice |
by pheenom on Dec 21, 2014 | 5:14 PM | |
Colts | Get outta here Eagles dude. Worry about that 21st draft pick |
by rocketcoe on Dec 21, 2014 | 5:14 PM | |
Colts | I have an idea. Let’s not set the edge against DeMarco Murray. |
by jbacon55 on Dec 21, 2014 | 5:16 PM | |
Colts | Poor Emmit. Had to see Colts on schedule and think, "Yep, my record's gone" |
by RDReynolds on Dec 21, 2014 | 5:16 PM | |
Eagles | What position will the Eagles draft in? I can’t watch anymore. |
by champion1964 on Dec 21, 2014 | 5:17 PM | |
Broncos | Colt D looks bad right now. They should have played a tougher schedule to toughen up. |
by Gulbrand on Dec 21, 2014 | 5:17 PM | |
Falcons | The Cowboys look like the real deal and I HATE the Cowboys |
by matt_v32 on Dec 21, 2014 | 5:17 PM | |
(6:38) D.Murray up the middle for 1 yard, TOUCHDOWN. Cowboys 28 - Colts 0 |
|
Seahawks | Pagano must have gone to the Tony Dungy school of "fold up shop once your playoff seeding is set". |
by Flyndiggory on Dec 21, 2014 | 5:18 PM | |
Jets | Is Luck playing? |
by JetsFan718 on Dec 21, 2014 | 5:18 PM | |
Colts | For all the talk of taking Luck out, wouldn't be surprised to see Romo come out by middle of the 3rd |
by RDReynolds on Dec 21, 2014 | 5:19 PM | |
Eagles | The Colts are going full Jay Cutler right now |
by SebastianSmith07 on Dec 21, 2014 | 5:21 PM | |
Chargers | Indianapolis in the postseason scares me. Andrew Luck is just magic. Just because they’re down doesn’t mean their out of this game. They can come back. |
by Jarred Braxton on Dec 21, 2014 | 5:23 PM | |
Colts | A caught pass!!! |
by Luck Inc. on Dec 21, 2014 | 5:23 PM | |
Seahawks | So when is Andrew Luck turning on that elite button? |
by Mookie Alexander on Dec 21, 2014 | 5:24 PM | |
Colts | I love that pass play for 0 yards |
by 2bad on Dec 21, 2014 | 5:27 PM | |
Colts | I would tell them to pull Luck, but if we plan on making it out of the wildcard our offense has to show some signs of life |
by anoll28 on Dec 21, 2014 | 5:27 PM | |
Seahawks | Is it just a ginger thing, or does Jason Garrett look like certain iterations of the green goblin |
by sexydeepballs on Dec 21, 2014 | 5:28 PM | |
Eagles | I am out. Can’t stand to watch this anymore. I just know some more crappy calls will happen and just drive me insane with anger |
by Easedel on Dec 21, 2014 | 5:29 PM | |
Colts | I find it all hilarious now |
by MFKrime on Dec 21, 2014 | 5:29 PM | |
Eagles | Lol why are we all making excuses? Cowboys are good, and better than the us. Eagles deserve criticism, they messed it up |
by insaneeaglesfanatic on Dec 21, 2014 | 5:30 PM | |
Colts | I legitimately remember the 2-14 team looking better than this |
by RDReynolds on Dec 21, 2014 | 5:30 PM | |
Colts | Only LaRon Landry can turn a loss of 5 into a loss of 1 smh |
by kage*1984 on Dec 21, 2014 | 5:31 PM | |
Colts | Didn't realize Cowboys had a bye this week |
by mmmagician on Dec 21, 2014 | 5:32 PM | |
Eagles | Dallas is getting hot at the right time of the year. Hate to say it but they have the ability to go far in the playoffs. |
by IwantVick on Dec 21, 2014 | 5:34 PM | |
Colts | Does anyone else ever think that Luck might just say, "You know what, thanks, but no" when his contract is up? |
by RDReynolds on Dec 21, 2014 | 5:41 PM | |
Colts | At least Luck can pad his stats |
by luck-ycoltsfan19 on Dec 21, 2014 | 5:44 PM | |
(:17) (Shotgun) A.Luck pass deep middle intended for C.Fleener INTERCEPTED by J.Wilcox | |
Colts | ... with an interception |
by FREDDIEMARKS on Dec 21, 2014 | 5:45 PM | |
Colts | Pro: Wasn't a pick six |
by RDReynolds on Dec 21, 2014 | 5:45 PM | |
Seahawks | Romo can be very dangerous. Especially when he has good protection and a strong running game. |
by sas1969 on Dec 21, 2014 | 5:56 PM | |
Seahawks | Who was the player that said Russell Wilson was better than Andrew Luck...Maybe he was right. |
by korboko on Dec 21, 2014 | 5:57 PM | |
Seahawks | That player was Russell Wilson. |
by Rithmckk on Dec 21, 2014 | 5:57 PM | |
Colts | Dallas cheerleaders should line up on defense for us. They will do much better |
by FREDDIEMARKS on Dec 21, 2014 | 5:58 PM |
Third Quarter |
|
(14:39) (No Huddle, Shotgun) A.Luck pass short right intended for R.Wayne INTERCEPTED by A.Hitchens | |
Colts | Well, that didn't take long |
by RDReynolds on Dec 21, 2014 | 6:01 PM | |
(12:34) (Field Goal formation) D.Bailey 52 yard field goal is No Good | |
Colts | Dodged a bullet. Make it count. |
by EVLGNUS on Dec 21, 2014 | 6:06 PM | |
Bengals | Real choke job by Iggles....lost three straight to miss playoffs. |
by The Van Buren Boys on Dec 21, 2014 | 6:09 PM | |
Colts | I wonder if we even get on the board today |
by anoll28 on Dec 21, 2014 | 6:14 PM | |
Broncos | Cowboys showing that high picks for Olinemen pays off. |
by Gulbrand on Dec 21, 2014 | 6:16 PM | |
(4:48) (Shotgun) T.Romo pass deep middle to J.Witten for 25 yards, TOUCHDOWN. With that completion, Tony Romo passed Troy Aikman as the Dallas Cowboys all-time passing yards leader. Cowboys 35 - Colts 0 |
|
Seahawks | Maybe... the guy with the "Cowboys 2014 Super Bowl Champs" tattoo might actually know what he was talking about. |
by korboko on Dec 21, 2014 | 6:19 PM | |
Broncos | Colts are pathetic. Romo has all day to throw. This is a massacre. |
by Serbian Bronco on Dec 21, 2014 | 6:20 PM | |
49ers | Damn I wish Tony Romo was our QB |
by MichaelClutchtree on Dec 21, 2014 | 6:21 PM | |
Colts | Luck benched thank God |
by Jerrybear. on Dec 21, 2014 | 6:23 PM | |
Redskins | Good God Tony has forever in the pocket today. |
by jmauthe on Dec 21, 2014 | 6:23 PM | |
Cardinals | Man... Romo turned into a surgeon on the Colts D. |
by Swangahouse on Dec 21, 2014 | 6:23 PM | |
Bengals | Jerry is probably already wasted and getting lap dances. |
by The Van Buren Boys on Dec 21, 2014 | 6:23 PM | |
Colts | I give up. |
by Feedthemachine on Dec 21, 2014 | 6:24 PM | |
Bears | Luck has been benched for Matt Hasselbeck… down 35-0 |
by SomeGuyNamedDave on Dec 21, 2014 | 6:24 PM | |
Eagles | What a choke artist |
by Uriahchase on Dec 21, 2014 | 6:24 PM | |
Ravens | Cowboys are destroying the Colts. All hope is not lost on my picks this week. All of the talk about the Colts being SB contenders was a joke. Just like I thought. But how about those Cowboys? |
by concretejimmy52 on Dec 21, 2014 | 6:25 PM | |
Panthers | Luck has been benched in favor of Mathew Hasslebeck against the Cowboys. 35-0 |
by rscott94 on Dec 21, 2014 | 6:25 PM | |
Colts | 8 carries 2 yards. |
by dave1251 on Dec 21, 2014 | 6:26 PM | |
(1:25) M.Hasselbeck sacked at IND 40 for -8 yards (O.Scandrick). FUMBLES, RECOVERED by DAL-G.Selvie at DAL 49 | |
Colts | How is that a fumble? |
by GotDebt on Dec 21, 2014 | 6:29 PM | |
Colts | /drinks tears |
by PowerO on Dec 21, 2014 | 6:29 PM | |
Eagles | Can we lose to the Giants, please? Lose so badly that Cary Williams and Bradley Fletcher get cut immediately after the game? |
by devbrian on Dec 21, 2014 | 6:31 PM | |
49ers | I want Dallas' Offensive line and maybe their offensive system too. |
by Ni9er on Dec 21, 2014 | 6:33 PM |
Fourth Quarter |
|
Colts | 0.3 run average....my laughs are turning into cries |
by lollygagger8 on Dec 21, 2014 | 6:35 PM | |
(12:58) J.Randle right tackle to IND 14 for 13 yards (D.Butler). FUMBLES | |
Colts | We need at least 3 points. |
by aplethoraofpunk on Dec 21, 2014 | 6:40 PM | |
Eagles | Starting Luck may have just lost me the championship game. I would have been considerably better off having Sanchez in this week. |
by J. Wil on Dec 21, 2014 | 6:42 PM | |
Seahawks | So much for the Eagles magical season... |
by korboko on Dec 21, 2014 | 6:43 PM | |
49ers | What is going on with the Colts? Complete shutout, not even a field goal. On a 10-4 team. |
by neener9er on Dec 21, 2014 | 6:43 PM | |
Seahawks | I think the Cowboys have proven they are legit. Their defense wasn’t supposed to be any good, but they have improved each week. Not scary good defense, but good enough to make a few turnovers and allow the offense to do their thing. |
by Wilder. on Dec 21, 2014 | 6:45 PM | |
(10:19) (Shotgun) B.Weeden pass deep right to T.Williams for 43 yards, TOUCHDOWN Cowboys 42 - Colts 0 |
|
Seahawks | Mmmmm, forty burger sadness. |
by dasgoot on Dec 21, 2014 | 6:48 PM | |
Colts | Weeden just threw a TD pass on us hahahhaah |
by lollygagger8 on Dec 21, 2014 | 6:48 PM | |
Bears | And even Brandon Weeden tosses a pretty TD pass on the Colts…. |
by SomeGuyNamedDave on Dec 21, 2014 | 6:48 PM | |
Cardinals | Colts defense making Weeden look like Peyton Manning |
by Krazymoefoe on Dec 21, 2014 | 6:49 PM | |
Colts | I seriously see no reason to even tune in to the playoffs |
by goluckycolts on Dec 21, 2014 | 6:50 PM | |
49ers | I wish Brandon Weeden was our quarterback. |
by Typecast on Dec 21, 2014 | 6:52 PM | |
(5:29) M.Hasselbeck pass short right to Z.Tipton for 1 yard, TOUCHDOWN Cowboys 42 - Colts 7 |
|
Jets | Highlight of the year, in my opinion, is Mark Sanchez (!) single-handedly eliminating Manish Mehta’s 6-2 Eagles from playoff contention! |
by Five Towns on Dec 21, 2014 | 7:01 PM | |
Colts | YEAH!!!!! WOOOOOO!!!! |
by RDReynolds on Dec 21, 2014 | 7:01 PM | |
Colts | Can we go for a 36 point conversion here? |
