I get it just fine...do you?

What is it you think I didn't understand?

I do approve of starting off conversations with insults. Sets the tone.

i didn’t say we “beat up on good teams” just that by doing what we’re supposed to tonight there will be a narrative

We’ll that’s the issue. If we lose tonight do you think we win in Washington next week? I don’t. Lose tonight and this team will also lose what little confidence they still have. Losing 4 of 5 (and looking bad doing it) and then traveling to your biggest rival with first place on the line (assuming Washington beats the Raiders which is 50-50)? I sure won’t feel confident about beating Washington under those circumstances. Tonight is HUGE! Got to stop the bleeding or the patient will die.

Doesn’t matter what I think. Don’t have a crystal ball. I only react to the results.

As big as tonight might be I’d argue next Sunday is bigger. Wash can win out and take the division.

As long as Pappy puts away his Dak voodoo doll, we'll be good.

A loss tonight, and Dallas is then locked into the 4th seed, but with two games against Washington.

This a must win game for Dallas. They better not leave this to being a must win game for New Orleans...as in more recent pasts by Dallas in December.

Ah I see. I read it correctly. Not sure you got me. If you would have just answered the question...you might have understood. Too quick to try to make someone else look bad, I'd say.

Okay....let's move on then...So some people think we "only beat up bad teams". Okay fine. Prove them wrong. What GOOD teams have we beaten up?

Well....they can say it and be right then. So now not sure what YOUR point is....you don't want them to speak the truth?

If we were to get swept by Washington, we were never a contender to begin with. Regardless, I think the chances of Wash winning out is next to zero. They’re just not that good.

I agree. I don’t see Wash winning out either . Just saying .

I’m not sure we are that good . Offensively we are when everyone is healthy but that’s not enough against better teams .

And Wash is beginning to play like a better team than they were . Amazing how good defenses start to take shake this time of year.

100% agree

Line has moved from Dallas -4.5 to Dallas -6.

Probably because of the Kamara/Saints OTs injury news.

There is absolutely no reason or excuse for losing to a depleted NO Saints team.
Regardless of the enthusiasm of the crowd and Saints team, a team with the talent Dallas has and the playoff aspirations they possess, losing tonight would be unacceptable.

There were no excuses for losing the last 3 out of 4 games, so why is this game going to be any different if the BOYS lose against a SHORT HANDED Saints team?????? It will just prove that this is an over hyped, over paid, under-achieving gutless team that somehow leads in PRO BOWL votes..........

I see. But of course people here will fight about something...even a win. The issue for me was in your case they might actually be right. So many make up incorrect things to fight about.

I do hope to truly enjoy a cowboys game tonight!

You could be right....but I won't let it stop me form enjoying the win. I;m not going to make up stuff to be miserable about it.

I'll deal with the overhype next week.

Our team is more depleted. NO is at home.

There will be a massacre tonight so please put your kids to bed early.

WE WILL BLOW THE SAINTS OUT!

40 Burger minimum & mid season slump will be over.

Slump is due to injuries and we still have lots of them.

If the Cowboys lose tonight you might as well stick a fork in them. If Taysom Hill is the starter tonight for New Orleans and he has a big game this Cowboys team isn’t worth a crap! Just a few weeks ago when the Cowboys were winning fans were talking about this team being special and better than any of the Cowboys teams since their last Super Bowl win. lol This team has lost as many games as the 07 and 2014 teams and it already has more losses than the 2016 team. If the Cowboys have any chance of coming out of this tailspin it has to start tonight.

we are every bit as depleted all year no one took it easy on us and we won some ie MN game without dak. so any team can beat another team any game regardless of players missing....none of their 3 qbs were good to begin with so it didn't matter who starts kamaras out Zeke been playing with as bad an knee but fighting through it.doesnt make him heathy or productive.so i doubt he plays much.

we are missing Gregory, Gallimore, Wilson , wright, and urban on defense..missing our trainers and what 3-4 coaches including our HC..

saints have beat 3 solid teams this year so it can happen regardless. Excuse no but they have an HOF nfl coach and mostly healthy defense..we are playing on the road..

If the Cowboys lose tonight you can bet fans will come up with excuses. Either injuries, the officiating or both.

No Excuses for losing tonight
