Trolling The Nation: “Cowboys truly decided to be America’s team tonight”

It’s Victory Friday (yes, that’s a thing!) which means it’s time to take another leisurely stroll through the comments of football fans across the SB Nation network as they watched the Cowboys outlast the Chiefs.

All the quotes below 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, some judicious editing has of course taken place, but no other changes have been made, no commentary added.

Enjoy.

First Quarter

Chiefs

Very excited, should be a good game!

chiefcalls | 16:19 EDT

Chiefs

Going to need to score TD’s instead of FG’s.

BabyBlues | 16:22 EDT

Chiefs

Yep, Dak & the Cowboys are averaging 30 points at home. That’s spells disaster for KC.

RD | 16:26 EDT

Commanders

If Dallas wins this one, it’s time to say they could be for real. Man my Philly fans were going at it with Cowboys Nation this week & I wanted to talk ish so bad, but….we 3-8.

WashNDUNG | 16:29 EDT

Steelers

Should have kept Pickens.

RickKirk | 16:36 EDT

Steelers

Cowboys do Thanksgiving the best.

Yinzer. | 16:38 EDT

13:51 – D.Prescott pass intended for G.Pickens INTERCEPTED

13:04 – P.Mahomes pass to R.Rice for 27 yards, TOUCHDOWNDAL 0 – KC 7

Chiefs

5 plays in the game and we defended and scored. 5 plays.

BlackDoom | 16:45 EDT

Chiefs

Oh sheeeeeeet, im turned on!

LegionOfZoom | 16:45 EDT

Eagles

That’s how terrible we are, KC torching the Cowboys on both sides of the ball.

FIRE_KEVIN_PATULLO | 16:46 EDT

Weren’t we for almost the entire 1st half?

mpsufan3 | 16:49 EDT

Exactly. Let’s see how this game looks after 60 minutes instead of 6.

davel79 | 17:09 EDT

Chiefs

If that is how Dallas is covering the flats Mahomes is gonna have 5 TDs by halftime.

Chiefsdodgerslakers2415 | 16:47 EDT

Chiefs

First game all year where no one in the first 50 posts of the game thread hasn’t declared the game to be a Chiefs loss.

88Wildcat | 16:48 EDT

Broncos

For the one day I’m actually able to root for the ‘Boys and they start like this

rossiya | 16:48 EDT

49ers

I could see Dallas getting dumptrucked in this game after that start. If that is the case, its always satisfying when the camera pans to distraught Cowboys fans.

HolyRomanEmpire | 16:50 EDT

6:50 – D.Prescott pass to C.Lamb for 15 yards, TOUCHDOWNDAL 7 – KC 7

Broncos

How does Chris Jones not get called for lining up in the neutral zone on at least half of the snaps?

steve65 | 16:51 EDT

It has to do with the logo on his helmet.

SickBoy67 | 16:53 EDT

Chiefs

How was he that wide open, dagnabbit!

LegionOfZoom | 16:54 EDT

Eagles

They do have some pitching and catching going on between Dak and his top targets and it’s not just against the Eagles.

ClayBidwell | 16:54 EDT

Chiefs

Lamb is eating up MacDuffie.

88Wildcat | 16:55 EDT

Chiefs

This game was never going to end with the Chiefs shutting out Dallas. It’s going to be a back and forth game of adjustments.

DBHutch | 16:57 EDT

Chiefs

Lamb and Pickens are going to roast them all day.

FrankRoyal69 | 17:00 EDT

Chiefs

And that’s why it’s important to have a great wide receiver

Grif 2112 | 17:01 EDT

Chiefs

Can we just keep McDuffie in the slot and double Lamb. I mean how many times we gonna let him get burnt?

RedKingdomKid | 17:01 EDT

Chiefs

Good lord fellas, it was one drive and you already cutting Mcduffie. Let him redeem himself.

Carloscarson88 | 17:02 EDT

Chiefs

I missed the Dallas TD. Who did Lamb beat?

savagerider4life | 17:05 EDT

Duffie

BlackDoom | 17:05 EDT

Beat him bad or good throw?

savagerider4life | 17:06 EDT

He beat him bad, Duffman fell down, his ankles still might be on the field.

BlackDoom | 17:06 EDT

Chiefs

Getting cute in the red zone again. Sigh

Royalholic | 17:07 EDT

Chiefs

Story of the game in these next two plays. Can’t afford FGs

UNIPanther | 17:10 EDT

0:01 – P.Mahomes pass to T.Kelce for 2 yards, TOUCHDOWNDAL 7 – KC 14

Chiefs

Kelce!

Chiefsdodgerslakers2415 | 17:11 EDT

Chiefs

LESSSS GOOO0O

smush room | 17:11 EDT

…

Second Quarter

Eagles

I can’t believe that I’m rooting for the Chiefs. The Cowboys and their fans are unsufferable.

el aguila | 17:13 EDT

Chiefs

The thing I’m seeing though is that Dallas’ running game is MIA so far while KC is moving the ball in all aspects. Bullish.

Daloath | 17:14 EDT

Chiefs

It’s a matter of time before Reid’s alter “I’m the smartest coach ever to walk a NFL sideline” ego shows up.

swriddle | 17:16 EDT

Chiefs

Cowboys will score at least 28, we need a lot more scoring.

BabyBlues | 17:17 EDT

Chiefs

Ooof Lamb had an easy catch and run. If Dak keeps looking his way..

SethCougar | 17:18 EDT

Chiefs

Too much time for Dak.

Ashkash23 | 17:18 EDT

Chiefs

What the heck. Wide open again.

Royalholic | 17:18 EDT

Chiefs

My blood pressure is going to be inversely proportional to the amount of pressure that gets put on Prescott.

88Wildcat | 17:20 EDT

Chiefs

Might as well go for it on every 4th down…no one fears our defense, nor should they.

elite_millz | 17:21 EDT

10:22 – B.Aubrey 49 yard field goal is GOODDAL 10 – KC 14

Chiefs

Surprised they didnt go for it again

loyalchfsfan35 | 17:23 EDT

Broncos

Chefs O-lineman full-on tackling D-lineman and getting away with it – some things never change…

NZBroncoFan | 17:28 EDT

Refs are too busy ignoring false start on RT every play.

IGOTMYORANGECRUSH | 17:33 EDT

Chiefs

Without dumb penalties, this offense is better by a lot.

HumphreyM | 17:29 EDT

49ers

Holding on the Chiefs? I didn’t think that penalty is ever called on them.

AlwaysaFan1960 | 17:31 EDT

7:27 – P.Mahomes sacked at KC 43 for -7 yards (J.Clowney)

Chiefs

Brown open and Mahomes tries to extend and takes a stupid sack instead.

Chiefsdodgerslakers2415 | 17:32 EDT

Chiefs

Can’t take that sack.

FrankRoyal69 | 17:32 EDT

Chiefs

Just throw it away dude…

SethCougar | 17:32 EDT

Chiefs

We supposedly have some of the fastest receivers on Earth and none of them can get open.

Grif 2112 | 17:34 EDT

6:10 – KC punts

Chiefs

What a crap punt. Staring into that sun sucks.

Wyota | 17:36 EDT

Chiefs

Kind of a low-key important drive. If the D can get us the ball back with 3 or 4 minutes left…even 2 minutes left…and a chance to go back-to-back, that would be pretty beneficial.

ElmoTheClownl | 17:37 EDT

Chiefs

Can we ever stop a 3rd and long?

Wyota | 17:40 EDT

Chiefs

How is someone always open?

elite_millz | 17:42 EDT

3:10 – M.Davis up the middle for 43 yards, TOUCHDOWNDAL 17 – KC 14

Chiefs

Really guys?

Legion0fZoom | 17:43 EDT

Chiefs

This D is buns.

FeastingLiason | 17:43 EDT

Chiefs

We just let Malik Davis run it half the field to the end zone?

Andyreidsmustache_ | 17:43 EDT

Chiefs

Why do we refuse to cover a guy out of the backfield?

golfaddict83 | 17:44 EDT

Chiefs

This defense’s inability to get off the field on third down is truly baffling.

ChickenStrips | 17:45 EDT

Broncos

I realize that Dallas has a really good offense, but the Chiefs defense looks like a bunch of chumps.

SickBoy67 | 17:46 EDT

Eagles

Lol the Cowboys are going to win the division, aren’t they?

insaneeaglesfanatic | 17:47 EDT

Chiefs

Andy Reid is so stupid! LOL why run a play before the 2-min warning?

ChiefDawud5P | 17:49 EDT

Because we are 55 yards away from the end zone.

Chiefsdodgerslakers2415 | 17:50 EDT

Giants

It seems like Dallas always has several very fast players that can also play some football. Contrast this with the Giants.

HappiR | 17:49 EDT

Two-minute Warning

49ers

KC’s left tackle lines up in the backfield every play

Ky9er | 17:51 EDT

Chiefs

Horrible way to end the half

PriestHolmes4Ever | 18:00 EDT

Raiders

The refs are so quick to pull the flag out when Mahomes gets hit on the sidelines. It’s BS. He constantly extends plays when guys let up. At least this time they correctly reversed the call.

NASHVILLER8ER | 18:00 EDT

Eagles

If they win today and the Eagles lose tomorrow, beginning talk of a slide, it could get really unpleasant around here.

YouCannotBeSerious | 18:01 EDT

0:18 – KC punts

Chiefs

Sorry guys onto to the Texans.

254 | 18:01 EDT

Patriots

Wow, KC unable to score to end the half, having had about 3 minutes to get it done…

furiousd | 18:01 EDT

Chiefs

Better get 7 on the opening drive or year’s coming to an end.

tbaaabt | 18:02 EDT

Chiefs

It always looks like they call a play for one and only one person and tells everyone else to run whatever route they want.

HumphreyM | 18:02 EDT

End of Half

Eagles

Dallas might not be total ass. Disgusts me to type that. They beat Detroit next week and they’re suddenly live for a wildcard.

Bleedgreen93 | 18:05 EDT

Chiefs

It’s frustrating to see Mahomes have to hold the ball while other teams have wide open guys

FeastingLiason | 18:06 EDT

Chiefs

Offense isn’t good enough to overcome a penalty and we have the worst 3rd down defense in the league where the flat is always wide open.

Teamaintgood | 18:09 EDT

Eagles

Dallas is not supposed to be this good. What the heck is going on? Our horrific loss on Sunday might be exactly what they needed to run the table and win the division, because I don’t see us doing anything other than full-on collapsing from here on out.

NitLionsOnlce97 | 18:14 EDT

…

Third Quarter

Chiefs

If we score as many touchdowns in the second half as Paramount Plus commercials get ran we will be good.

88Wildcat | 18:23 EDT

Chiefs

3 and out. Of course.

PriestHolmes4Ever | 18:28 EDT

12:18 – KC punts

Chiefs

Holy moley! We actually forced them out on 3rd down?

RD | 18:32 EDT

11:02 – DAL punts

Chiefs

Our receivers suck. How can none of them get open.

dapcat19 | 18:40 EDT

Chiefs

Mahomes accuracy is just absurdly bad this year…

SethCougar | 18:41 EDT

7:12 – KC punts

Chiefs

Andy is old and Mahomes is broken.

NothingButRed | 18:42 EDT

Broncos

That was a good blitz pickup by Javonte

steve65 | 18:45 EDT

Javonte’s always been a solid dude at blitz pickup.

NZBroncoFan | 18:47 EDT

I remember last year people complained about the amount of snaps he got and I always tried to tell them… It’s because he’s actually good at pass pro.

DailyDose | 18:49 EDT

Chiefs

Dallas is beating us the same way every drive. Wake up!

Jet Chip Wasp | 18:47 EDT

Chiefs

We can see which team wants this more. It isn’t KC unfortunately.

ChiefsNorth | 18:47 EDT

Bears

That was OPI on DVD Lamb. But ok.

Shuggs | 18:48 EDT

Took me a second. Ha!

TMoore321 | 18:49 EDT

Eagles

Dallas is scary right now. Don’t need them in playoffs at all.

Chipper89 | 18:49 EDT

Chiefs

Every Dallas pass catcher is winning their matchup on every snap.

ChiefsTigersRoyals | 18:49 EDT

4:18 – D.Prescott pass to J.Ferguson for 13 yards, TOUCHDOWN. Play REVERSED. Pass incomplete.

Chiefs

That’s coming back.

ElmoTheClown1 | 18:50 EDT

Eagles

Dallas was not supposed to be this good. This is ridiculous

NitLionsOnlce97 | 18:52 EDT

4:09 – B.Aubrey 36 yard field goal is GOODDAL 20 – KC 14

Chiefs

HUGE WIN to hold them to a FG!!

TheSportsDon | 18:55 EDT

I guess….unless you consider that the drive started on their own 3-yard line.

ElmoTheClown | 18:57 EDT

49ers

Its official, my hatred for the Chiefs has exceeded my hatred for the Cowboys.

chOpper | 18:56 EDT

Chiefs

Come on Mahomes. Time to put the team on your back.

AFro62 | 18:59 EDT

49ers

Love it when Mahomes gets the flag for late hit out of bounds and replay shows he was tackled in bounds and have to start the clock.

bignerd | 19:02 EDT

Chiefs

Cowboys hitting way harder than us all day.

Offense of the 70s | 19:04 EDT

Chiefs

I like how all the trade deadline players for Dal are making plays .. must be nice

The_Kingdom | 19:04 EDT

…

Fourth Quarter

14:51 – P.Mahomes pass to R.Rice for 3 yards, TOUCHDOWNDAL 20 – KC 21

Chiefs

Goodness gracious we needed that.

FeastingLiason | 19:09 EDT

Chiefs

Dak has time to make a Caesar Wrap back there.

FrankRoyal69 | 19:13 EDT

Chiefs

Cowboys will score here, thats a given.

RD | 19:14 EDT

Chiefs

How do they keep giving up 3rd and longs so easily.

Fozzyboyd | 19:17 EDT

Zero pass rushers outside of Chris Jones.

Jitoman | 19:18 EDT

And he hasn’t earned his check all season.

loyalchfsfan35 | 19:19 EDT

Eagles

If Dallas wins and Eagles lose tomorrow the division is up for grabs.

blitz1001 | 19:17 EDT

Steelers

Pickens is the man!!

Cmptx | 19:17 EDT

Steelers

Steelers are idiots for getting rid of Pickens, Metcalf couldn’t hold his jock strap.

AliquippaQuip | 19:17 EDT

Chiefs

Look how comparatively easy it is for Dallas to recover from a ten yard penalty.

Holmes58 | 19:18 EDT

Chiefs

Now Duffie being disrespected.

HumphreyM | 19:18 EDT

Chiefs

This is McDuffie’s worst game as a pro I think

PriestHolmes4Ever | 19:18 EDT

Chiefs

They do have two WR 1 and when you have no pass rush, this is what happens.

FeastingLiason | 19:19 EDT

Chiefs

Every single play there are 1-2 WIDE open players.

SethCougar | 19:20 EDT

11:15 – D.Prescott pass to J.Williams for 3 yards, TOUCHDOWN.DAL 26 – KC 21

11:15 – TWO-POINT CONVERSION ATTEMPT. D.Prescott pass to G.Pickens is complete. ATTEMPT SUCCEEDS. DAL 28 – KC 21

Chiefs

Going to have to score touchdowns on every possession and you better have the last possession.

88Wildcat | 19:21 EDT

Chiefs

Why is Pickens that open anyways?

golfaddict83 | 19:22 EDT

Because he’s a WR with talent who can separate instead of 3 guys who run hitches really fast.

SethCougar | 19:23 EDT

Chiefs

Yeah, its insane to see the difference, our WRs are rarely open, theirs has 1-2 wide open every play.

Fozzyboyd | 19:22 EDT

Chiefs

Listen when you cry about flags, it’s because you want someone to save you. Nobody is coming to save us from Ceedee Lamb, Pickens, and Dak who is playing phenomenal. The refs had some bad calls, but this is a clinic from the Dallas Offense.

chiefcalls | 19:25 EDT

Chiefs

Chiefs making the Cowboys look like theyre going straight to the Super Bowl.

Ashkash23 | 19:25 EDT

Broncos

How come Travis Kelce is such a douche, when Jason Kelce seems like a decent guy?

NZBroncoFan | 19:25 EDT

There’s always that one brother.

MTBroncosFan24 | 19:30 EDT

Patriots

28-21 Cowboys up

SparzWizard | 19:28 EDT

Chiefs

Cowboys fans coming to gloat when they have zero chance of winning anything for next 5 years

KCballer | 19:28 EDT

Steelers

I don’t tend to say things like this because I truly believe that any team playing their best ball can beat anyone any weekend, but the Steelers couldn’t play with any of the four teams we’ve seen today so far.

RenoSteelersFan | 19:32 EDT

Cowboys maybe put 50 on us.

Yinzer. | 19:41 EDT

60.

ForWhomKordellTolls | 19:42 EDT

9:35 – KC punts

Chiefs

Hey at least it took until the 4th quarter for the fans to call this one over.

ElmoTheClown | 19:33 EDT

Chiefs

Time for everyone to go. Reid is done. Gonna waste Mahomes’ prime.

DCJayhawk57 | 19:35 EDT

Giants

Don’t love saying it, but Dak is one of my favorite QBs to watch. He’s awesome when he’s dialed in, just poised and ripping it all over the field.

Dmurphy23 | 19:36 EDT

Giants

Say what we want about Jerruh but Dallas rebuilds their team in a season. The Giants can’t rebuild their team in ten seasons. Sad.

CandygramforMongo | 19:36 EDT

49ers

Dak Prescott is a very good quarterback.

Missing Link | 19:37 EDT

Chiefs

There is absolutely nothing the DBs can do against these WRs without the pass rush getting home.

88Wildcat | 19:37 EDT

Pass rush – what’s that?

longtime_chiefs_fan | 19:39 EDT

Chiefs

Dallas .. 8-13 on third down.

budman3 | 19:39 EDT

Outrageous.

ElmoTheClownl | 19:40 EDT

5:16 – B.Aubrey 26 yard field goal is GOODDAL 31 – KC 21

Chiefs

Dallas: “Please, take the ball from us.” KC: “No.”

Daloath | 19:39 EDT

Chiefs

It’s just Dallas’ day today. No other way to describe it.

ChiefsTigersRoyals | 19:39 EDT

Eagles

That’s game ..Birds need a win tomorrow or they’re in trouble in the division.

joey2times | 19:41 EDT

3:27 – P.Mahomes pass to M.Brown for 10 yards, TOUCHDOWNDAL 31 – KC 28

Chiefs

Too little too late.

Navajo79kcFan | 19:43 EDT

Chiefs

Well, there’s some vintage Mahomes magic.

Daloath | 19:43 EDT

Seahawks

And, once again, the KC lineman clotheslines a Dallas defender to save a sack and no call.

SpokaneNHeard | 19:44 EDT

Steelers

Jawaan Taylor plays by his own rules. Sometimes the officials notice.

Toronto Steeler Fan | 19:46 EDT

Bills

Weird seeing productive WRs who get open and make catches.

canislupus | 19:48 EDT

Bills

These flags against KC are glorious.

canislupus | 19:50 EDT

Yep. It’s about time KC got theirs.

ajk777 | 19:51 EDT

Chiefs

Season is pretty much over now.

FeastingLiason | 19:52 EDT

49ers

McDuffie has been getting abused tonight. That is incredibly rare.

JNicoNW | 19:53 EDT

Commanders

Chris Jones can be a game-wrecker sometimes and others, you won’t know he’s playing.

Hail Yeah Baby | 19:55 EDT

Is he a Commander?

ComplaininglsAPayne | 20:33 EDT

Two-minute Warning

Chiefs

I hope Pickens goes to eat a chocolate chip cookie and the chocolate chips are actually raisins.

FoxBox2021 | 19:57 EDT

Now that’s just mean!

Grunharder_they_fall | 20:00 EDT

Steelers

Sure would be nice to have Pickens back.

ClaremontSteelersFan | 19:57 EDT

Patriots

Are the Cowboys for reals? They’ve beaten last year’s Super Bowl teams in b2b weeks.

SparzWizard | 19:58 EDT

Broncos

Cowboys truly decided to be America’s team tonight. This time everyone was in their corner.

sgtprice1000 | 19:58 EDT

End of Game

Bills

I hate the Cowboys, but I will thank them for taking down the Chiefs today.

ajk777 | 20:00 EDT

Chiefs

Pickens made McDuffy his little prison bitch FR

BlackDoom | 20:02 EDT

Broncos

Chiefs website is crying about the refs. Hypocrites!

Springsgal | 20:04 EDT

None so blind as those that will not see…

NZBroncoFan | 20:05 EDT

Panthers

Watching Dack Prescott make play after play that Bryce Young could never make……. we need a guy.

GhostofPanthersPast | 20:25 EDT

Broncos

It was very satistying that Javonte helped to drive the final nail in the coffin.

Johnny G_627 | 20:31 EDT

Broncos

I saw so many holds by the chiefs LT go uncalled. Pisses me off so bad.

Kwool97 | 20:34 EDT

Broncos

I haven’t commented much but I gotta say theChiefs complaining about the refs is just so joyous. Not only do they feel how the league has felt for the past 4 years playing them, but they are delusional. Their tackles hold on almost every offensive snap and it gets called once or twice a game. They are coached to play like that because they know the refs got a pace to keep and they can’t be flagging on every play. They are dirty and rotten and just a pitiful organization.

BroncoBlue22 | 21:11 EDT

Patriots

lol all the chiefs at Arrowhead Pride are blaming the refs…once again proving that they have the worst fanbase in the nfl…most spoiled fans in the nfl.

Gawinonzalez | 21:17 EDT
