As we've done repeatedly in the past, today we're going to look at what fans of other NFL teams had to say while they were watching the Cowboys beat the Bengals on Sunday. All quotes below are taken directly from the open game threads from the SB Nation team sites 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.
We usually reserve these Trolling The Nation posts for big wins, preferably against a division opponent. But being as starved for wins as we are, we're indulging a bit in the TTN posts this year, even if it comes at a price: Bengal tears just don't taste as sweet as those of a divisional rival. Also, because many fans had their attention focused elsewhere during the Cowboys games, our TTN posts of late have been a bit light on quantity.
But so be it. Here we go:
|
Pre-game and First Quarter |
|
| Bengals | Watching PIT game hoping they lose. They are wearing those terrible uniforms again. They deserve to lose just for wearing them. |

| Bengals | Softer. |
| Posted by CaliBengalsFan#97 on Oct 9, 2016 | 4:31 PM | |
| Bengals | I tell you what, Cowboys offensive line is nasty. That's why you draft a great center early in the draft. |
| Posted by CaliBengalsFan#97 on Oct 9, 2016 | 4:31 PM | |
| Texans | Zeke is showing what a real run game looks like |
| Posted by FosterThePeople on Oct 9, 2016 | 4:31 PM | |

| Posted by WHYUS!! on Oct 9, 2016 | 4:40 PM | |
| Bengals | This is getting real pathetic |
| Posted by WHYUS!! on Oct 9, 2016 | 4:42 PM | |
| Patriots | I think Romo rides the pine even if he comes back from injury with each game Dak and Zeke do good |
| Posted by Mindkrak on Oct 9, 2016 | 4:43 PM | |
| Bengals | Let's make Prescott make some plays here... |
| Posted by The Van Buren Boys on Oct 9, 2016 | 4:44 PM | |
| Bengals | Good job of getting out of the hole. Maybe the defense can keep them pinned deep this time. |
| Posted by smokin 86 on Oct 9, 2016 | 4:44 PM | |
| Bengals | Wow. Elliott just chewing us up with that line. |
| Posted by The Van Buren Boys on Oct 9, 2016 | 4:48 PM | |
| Bengals | OMG put this little punk in his place, he has a big ego for a rookie |
| Posted by Jimjim14 on Oct 9, 2016 | 4:48 PM | |

| Posted by WhiskeyRanger on Oct 9, 2016 | 4:48 PM | |
| Bengals | Rookies are killing us. |
| Posted by lightskin350 on Oct 9, 2016 | 4:49 PM | |

| Posted by WHYUS!! on Oct 9, 2016 | 4:50 PM | |

| Posted by pedro_oliveira on Oct 9, 2016 | 4:51 PM | |
| Browns | Zeke having an awesome game. Cowboys are serious Super Bowl contenders with that offense. |
| Posted by MartinMM on Oct 9, 2016 | 4:51 PM | |
| Giants | Thank you, Bengals for rolling over dead for the Cowboys. Just wonderful. |

Second Quarter |
|
| Bengals | One possession in the first 15 minutes for us. |
| Posted by lightskin350 on Oct 9, 2016 | 4:54 PM | |
| Bengals | Damn these quarters go by fast with Dallas running so much |
| Posted by AZBengal18 on Oct 9, 2016 | 4:54 PM | |
| Giants | That Cowboys O-line is unreal |
| Posted by Avon_Barksdale on Oct 9, 2016 | 4:54 PM | |
| Bengals | This is ridiculous. It's like we're the Browns and they're the Brady-led Pats. |
| Posted by BevHillsWhoDey on Oct 9, 2016 | 4:55 PM | |
| Texans | I miss the offseason |
| Posted by Huggy The Bear on Oct 9, 2016 | 4:55 PM | |

| (14:47) D.Prescott right tackle for 5 yards, TOUCHDOWN. Cowboys 14 - Bengals 0 |

| Posted by LadyKnick on Oct 9, 2016 | 5:01 PM | |
| Bengals | How many times has Dalton been forced to scramble? |
| Posted by NastyNati513 on Oct 9, 2016 | 5:03 PM | |
| Seahawks | What are the Cowboys gonna do when Romo gets ready to come in. Is he going to be the bench warmer? This rookie looks for real. |
| Posted by mr.and.mrs.sparky on Oct 9, 2016 | 5:04 PM | |
| Bengals | Remember all the talk about how bad Dallas's DL was? They’re kinda crushing our OL right now. No freaking way this is league average. |
| Posted by NastyNati513 on Oct 9, 2016 | 5:07 PM | |
| Giants | Interesting. Dallas actually seems to have a decent D |
| Posted by gmenFan75 on Oct 9, 2016 | 5:09 PM | |
| Bengals | Literally less than 1.5 seconds and Dalton's getting hit. |

| Steelers | Dallas 21 Cincinnati ZERO! Still in Q2 |
| Posted by Toronto Steeler Fan on Oct 9, 2016 | 5:18 PM | |
| Steelers | The way Prescott is playing, Romo might have trouble getting back on the field. |
| Posted by Billy52 on Oct 9, 2016 | 5:18 PM | |
| Seahawks | Cole Beasley is really fun. How does he not have a nickname yet? |
| Posted by shams on Oct 9, 2016 | 5:18 PM | |
| Jets | Prescott is balling in Dallas right now! |
| Posted by greenandwhite4ever on Oct 9, 2016 | 5:19 PM | |
| Browns | The darn Cowboys got so lucky with Prescott. Tried to trade up for other QBs, couldn't, and found him later. |
| Posted by MartinMM on Oct 9, 2016 | 5:20 PM | |
| Bengals | 21 - 7 at half all of a sudden looks like it would be miracle for us |
| Posted by The Van Buren Boys on Oct 9, 2016 | 5:22 PM | |
| Redskins | Could the NFC East be the best overall division in the NFL through week 5??? |
| Posted by FromRagsToRiggins on Oct 9, 2016 | 5:23 PM | |
| Bengals | "Runs over the Center". Never heard that before. |
| Posted by NastyNati513 on Oct 9, 2016 | 5:24 PM | |
| Patriots | LMAO the Cowboys DL wraps up Dalton and then drags him 20 yds back into the end zone. |

| Steelers | Cowboys OL knocked the crap out of Bungles' defense in the first half. |
| Posted by Billy52 on Oct 9, 2016 | 5:36 PM | |
| Redskins | Like I said, Cowboys are a problem. |
| Posted by DCallday on Oct 9, 2016 | 5:36 PM | |
| Bengals | If I was Andy I’d consider walking out of the stadium during halftime. This o-line is going to get him killed. |
| Posted by WWadsIII on Oct 9, 2016 | 5:40 PM | |
| Bengals | Wow, I didn't think we'd get owned this bad. And this is without Dez Bryant! |
| Posted by cincygb1 on Oct 9, 2016 | 5:42 PM | |

| Posted by The Van Buren Boys on Oct 9, 2016 | 5:43 PM | |
| Texans | After today we probably may not be the number one team in Texas. |
| Posted by TEXSON on Oct 9, 2016 | 5:45 PM | |

Third Quarter |
|
| Bengals | Reviewing film for an upcoming Bengals game must be great, like a bye for every team, nothing new ever |
| Posted by FR33ZE on Oct 9, 2016 | 5:58 PM | |
| (11:52) M.Nugent 50 yard field goal is No Good. | |
| Bengals | Why does he have to hook the dang ball? None of the good kickers hook it. |
| Posted by Bengalsfan78 on Oct 9, 2016 | 6:03 PM | |

| Posted by damon76 on Oct 9, 2016 | 6:10 PM | |
| Steelers | Zeke is special ladies and gents. Rookie can ball. |
| Posted by Steeler4190 on Oct 9, 2016 | 6:10 PM | |

| Patriots | Byron Jones is awesome. Wish we had a chance to pick him |
| Posted by Mindkrak on Oct 9, 2016 | 6:12 PM | |
| Steelers | Byron Jones would have been a good pickup |
| Posted by dinner on Oct 9, 2016 | 6:13 PM | |
| Seahawks | I want to know where they've gotten this serviceable defense from? It drives me crazy that they’ve almost used no draft resources on the defense and it went from trash to okay seemingly out of thin air. It also drives me crazy that the Elliott draft pick hasn’t blown up in their face. I thought for sure that was a stupid move in the first round. |
| Posted by lawrence.wolffis on Oct 9, 2016 | 6:15 PM | |
| Bengals | How many times do I have to hear "Overpowers the center?" |
| Posted by BevHillsWhoDey on Oct 9, 2016 | 6:17 PM | |
| Bengals | IS HE SERIOUSLY PUNTING AGAIN?!?! When does he think the defense is going to make a stop?? |
| Posted by eric nyc on Oct 9, 2016 | 6:18 PM | |
| Steelers | You guys, it's super fun times over at Cincy Jungle right now. I mean, they are calling themselves the Bungles is how fun it is. |
| Posted by steely mcballs on Oct 9, 2016 | 6:20 PM | |
| Steelers | Well I guess We don’t have to worry about the Bungals anymore. |
| Posted by Adam Powell on Oct 9, 2016 | 6:21 PM | |
| Bengals | On the other side....Dallas looks legit with Elliott and Dak |
| Posted by Bengalsfan78 on Oct 9, 2016 | 6:23 PM | |
| Bengals | Has Dak thrown an incomplete pass? |
| Posted by ReyJ1727 on Oct 9, 2016 | 6:24 PM | |
| Bengals | I didn’t even notice Dez wasn’t out there. That makes it even worse… |
| Posted by damon76 on Oct 9, 2016 | 6:24 PM | |
| Bears | Cowboys' Defense has surprised many through first five games. Putting a beating on Bengals |
| Posted by TC53 on Oct 9, 2016 | 6:25 PM | |

| Bengals | Has Prescott even had to scramble today? |
| Posted by PRAY4RINGS4GREEN on Oct 9, 2016 | 6:30 PM | |
| Bengals | Look at Dallas's playcalling. Vastly different than our crappy playcalling |
| Posted by AZBengal18 on Oct 9, 2016 | 6:31 PM | |
| Bengals | Elliott may be the league MVP this year. And I’m not talking rookie MVP. |
| Posted by Bengalsfan78 on Oct 9, 2016 | 6:31 PM | |
