The Cowboys just played 5 playoff teams in 31 days

[Qcard]

The only thing the haters have left is playoff wins. They’ll hold on to that until the bitter end.

I am ok with letting Dak Haters run along side the band wagon

Hope this team is truly getting battle tested as Big Mike said.

If not for a controversial flag on a successful 2 point attempt (player says he reported to media pool, but ref said he didnt)...............we would have lost our 3 consecutive game.

Battle tested my arse.

Why do you choose to ignore the illegal formation penalty? Rhetorical question. Love you are upset with the win.

In fairness, the tripping call on Hendershot was questionable too, so that situation may not have even been necessary if the previous call wasn't made.



As you can see here, if anything, it's the Lions player who should have been called for tripping. In that case, the game ends right then and there.

The best way for the Cowboys to shut up the "haters" is to win in the playoffs.

I never said I was upset, a W is a W and I will take it..............but lets not act like we are ready to roll into the playoffs when we almost lost our 3rd consecutive game.

Teams that make noise in the playoffs typically get on a roll in December, they dont limp into the playoffs barely beating anybody over .500

See, point made.

So after someone says 2+2=4 you answer "see, point made"?

What's so pathetic about your constant attacks on the people you call haters, is the fact that even if the Cowboys do show up in post season doesn't change all those past embarrassing performances. So even then the "haters" would have been right, lol.

The only thing that does support your way of thinking are those people, who still can't give credit after some big wins. The win against the Eagles was legit and so was the one yesterday. And proof that we can win against contenders. Unfortunately we do have some people who still couldn't enjoy this one. But they aren't worse than your nonsense all the time.

Now in my books the Cowboys are 2-3 against teams that matter this year (SF, Eagles, Bills, Dolphins, Lions) with both wins at home. All of those 5 suffered some crushing losses against weaker teams though and so anyone can be beaten this season. That are the simple facts and we have to see how it all pans out in January.

And how many of those did they play at home? Unless the eagles lose, all our playoff games will probably be on the road.

This morning, SportsCenter still ignoring that as well. The haters have agendas.

Uuugh, you never want your arse to be battle tested, sorry about that man.

We didn't beat Miami, but that really should have been a win if our defence didn't become swiss cheese at the end.

Cool story!

It’s not wins against playoff teams that matter anymore. It’s convincing wins.

Yeah, not sure why he didn’t just say winning in the playoffs would shut then up, unless it was a Freudian slip

 

[Creeper]

It’s the first time in Cowboys history that this has happened, assuming the Seahawks do what they are favored to do and make the playoffs. And they went 3-2, which the statistically expected finish for even the best teams over such a stretch. They are 4-2 overall against likely playoff teams.

The reality is beating good teams in the NFL is HARD, and even most playoff teams finish at or below .500 against other playoff teams most years. This season, of the 14 most likely playoff teams, only 5 will likely finish above .500 against other playoff teams.

I was thinking the same thing. Going into this stretch I would have thought winning 3 of 5 would be a good result.

And they’re all giving the Lions a moral victory.

It changes after every game. They just hate for Dallas to win.

Because it’s all you got left. You’re running out of reasons to hate them.

 

[MajesticRey]

If we didn’t drop the ball against BUF or MIA we would be in contention for #1 seed…

Played 5 and only looked good in 1.

Gotta win regular season games to get there. It absolutely matters.

And if we’d won more regular season games (cardinals), we’d have home field advantage where we’re undefeated against winning teams. Yeah this is a terrible year to say regular season doesn’t matter.
