If we play the Niners with Trey Lance, we win.
If we play the Eagles with Jalen Hurts, we win.
If we play the Saints with Taysom Hill, we win.
If we play the Cardinals with their injured players back, including Moore and Hopkins, we lose.
If we play the Rams, we lose.

That's my prediction for the first game.

The second game, we're going home. I just see too much inconsistency with our offense for us to beat the Rams, Packers or Buccaneers in the second round.

This is pretty accurate though I think we can beat the Rams. Not fully impressed with them. Bucs and Packers would beat us though.

The only difference in Dak and the other QBs you mentioned is Dak is light between the ears. You get some rest with one of your collection of Dak blankies and sippy cups. You talk a big game to have never stepped on a field. Your comments in all your post prove my point. Were you first or second chair in the band?

First.. in junior high.. then in 9th grade the band director gave me an ultimatum and made me choose between playing football or playing in his band.. I chose football.. and I will simply say this about your other childish digs.. I'm pretty sure I ran for more yards and scored more TDs in college than you did.. Nice try though..

This team has been consistently inconsistent for 7 weeks and I do not expect that to change within the next 2 weeks, so a first-round exit would not surprise me at all.
the head of the hydra is Jerry, Stevie, Dak. Two out of the 3 aint ever gonna change...

They will lose to whomever they play against. EVEN if it is the eagles. They are DONE!!
Claim to fame this year............NFC East champs and "we made the playoffs".

After the Cardinals game I think they are one and done, especially if they get the Cardinals in round 1. For one thing, the Cardinals will be healthier in 2 weeks. The Cards like to use misdirection and quickness to create big plays. Guys like Chase Edmonds, Rondale Moore and Kyler Murray are of the same ilk. small, quick, fast. They use misdirection against the Cowboys and that is the weakness of the front 7, especially the DEs.
A undisciplined team has a hard time with tricky pesky little players.

We need Gregory to stay home and not let Murray, Edmonds, or Moore get outside of him.

Agreed. Against a conventional team with a dropback pocket passer, they’re fine. But the Cowboys are susceptible to that sneaky little jitterbug crap, trick plays and misdirection.

Playing in the NFC East is like a college team playing in a cupcake conference where they can rack up wins and make the playoff but then they play Alabama/Georgia and get whooped
Yeah

Of the top 4 seeds, we are Cincinnati (not the Bengals)

You do have to wonder if the DLs were overcoached to "stay in your lanes" and keep Murray in the pocket which cost them some of their aggressiveness. They simply did not go after him the way we've seen with other QBs and I have a sinking feeling coaching had something to do with it. That and the Cardinals seemingly given carte blanche to hold our guys.. But I digress.

Okay, I'm curious what everyone thinks. A few games ago I thought that they had a real shot at making it to the NFC Championship game and maybe even making a SB appearance.

After the Cardinals game, I've reassessed my opinion since they're a playoff caliber team.

What does everyone predict?

Here's mine: While I'd be thrilled at a SB appearance, I don't think that the Cowboys will even make it to the NFC Conference championship this time.

I really don't know. I'd rather them play all away games in the playoffs. They play better away.

With several of these losses everything seems to go wrong all at once, and from the start. If we have one more of those, that's when we exit the playoffs.

Looks like they will either play LA or ARI, I'm sorry but I just don't see them beating either one and I have a feeling it won't even be close

Yeah, I get ya. Don’t wanna ‘digress’ too much with the holding call talk, or you’ll trigger the “realists”.

Kind of like the NFC North or South, except the east will have two playoff teams.

I think they lose their first playoff game due to their recent inept offensive play against better teams.

Then go cheer for another team & stop crying. I'm sure you posted the same last year about Dalton when he was the starter. Watch this.....DAK IS MY QUARTERBACK & I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU SAY! :lmao:

true, boys have married dak for the 4 year term. Nothing can be done, only better game planning and putting the players in better position to win can be done.
