Cowboys not getting alot of respect heading into playoffs

Cowboys at 1:15

Nor should they. Getting shut out by the Colts, barely scoring any points at all, and needing Dak to make plays in order to win in the playoffs? We're not favorites even playing at home.

 

[CowboyStar88]

I mean he’s not wrong though.

 

[Proximo]

Good I hope opposing players and coaches sleep on us too.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Respect is earned. What have the Cowboys done in the playoffs lately to earn any respect?

 

[cowboys1981]

Good! I'd rather that be the case than being overconfident.

Cowboys at 1:15

Wait, it's not the OL?

 

[G2]

Are the Colts in our conference or division? No.
Good game to get smacked with.

 

[Vanilla2]

You wouldn’t get that feeling reading this board

Dallas is the worst team in the playoffs until they prove otherwise.

That offense is putrid.

 

[Mr_437]

That's why they play the games.

 

[ScipioCowboy]

Perception would be completely different if the score had been Dallas 13 Colts 23.

 

[Nova]

Happy about that.

This team sucks as the favorite.

I never thought I’d see the day we weren’t overhyped going into January.

I agree with what another poster says, if the country club atmosphere at the star has taught us anything it's that when the cowboys are favored or getting praise that is when they always let us down. So having said that, I would love for us to be underdogs in each and every game. Honestly I believe this actually gives a shot to win because an overconfident cowboys team is a first round exit.

"Cowboys are 6-2 since the Cooper trade!" (5-0 vs teams with 8 or fewer wins, 1-2 vs teams with 9 or more wins.)

Why should they get respect? It's not like they've done anything in the playoffs this century. Get to the conference championship game and respect will follow.

 

[IceBowler]

We certainly do not deserve any "respect" going into post-season. Besides, no one gets paid for respect anyway. What's the point? Just because the boys at the office think you're a great team and they'd be afraid to play you doesn't mean the opposing team is ...

Media respect and street talk is for thugs and rappers (same thing), so there's that.

 

[nightrain]

I still think they match up well vs the Seahawks and will beat them.

 

[Risen Star]

You can easily make the case, regardless of who ends up getting the last spots this weekend, that the Cowboys are the worst team in the playoffs.

But I also don't think they are that much worse than about 5 of those other 11 playoff teams.

 

[Alexander]

Usually everyone is scared of the fourth seed. I don't understand.

Good, underdog mentality is always better than over confidence.
