It really comes down to how you’re playing entering the playoffs. Tampa was 7-5 at one point last year and looked anything but a championship team and they got hot entering the playoffs. We’ll find out in December/January if we have a real shot. That’s when we need to be playing our best football.
You are right. In years past, Dallas started falling apart during December instead of coming together. That is one reason why I am not talking smack or making claims of a Super Bowl win this year. We have seen the late season collapses before.

We weren’t coming off a bye week entering the season opener. lol Bye weeks happen during the season. They can disrupt momentum that’s been built. They benefit some teams and they hurt some teams. Rarely have they benefited us. This one came at a good time because of Dak’s injury. We’ll just have to see if we look energized when we return or flat.
NO offseason work for the ones all the injury healing its very much the same..they were playing the first game after a long layoff, sounds familiar to me.

the only thing im worried about is daks calf..and like the offseason before game 1 his ankle and shoulder were an unknown..so yes the similarity's are very much the same and im standing on my last statement..not worried about the teams being prepared or flat because so far this season they have not done it once, including game 1..

Watching sounds from the sidelines and player interviews plus obviously the play on the field…one thing is apparent…this group of players is different than what we’ve had in the past. This group is a bunch of fighter…dogs like we haven’t had since the 90s. You can see they just don’t believe they can be beaten. Parsons, Gregory, Diggs, Kearse…they are alpha dogs
Dak, Lamb, Zeke…also…Lamb is pretty certain no one can cover him and he plays like it.
This team has swagger like I haven’t seen in over 20 years. Gonna be fun….

Yes sir and as frustrated as I get with MM at times I love the fact he recognizes how good this offense is and goes on 4th the majority of the time. It's like a cheat code the league is force fed.

It’s not the same. Other teams were dealing with the same things. A lot of teams didn’t play many of their starters including their QB in preseason. A bye week is a break from the normal routine.

i say its the same they will be off one week..so the bye week teams fight for now just one for the payoffs is somehow a negative now? no its blessing and most teams will not come back flat and neither will we IF Daks back and Healthy.

he didn't play for 18 months and came back game 1 and payed well

so did the team most of the players didn't paly real snap for more then 7months to a year..game 1 came out and played not flat..so one week will shut this down..:)

I’m just glad this is one of those threads titled “I don’t know what it is but something about this season just feels different.” Those usually lead to a disaster.
