Said it in another thread. Shut up and play. Talking never won a football game.
I think pre-game “guarantees” are meh. For a host of reasons. I love seeing a team be confident. But you gain confidence through hard work, preparing and ultimately winning, not spoken messages. I’m not mad that he said it, I just think actions are the real talking.
I remember Jimmy’s “We will win” guarantee before the NFC Championship game vs Niners in his last season. I had no problem with that because that team was the defending SB champ and had won like 6 in a row at that time. It was confidence based on recent accomplishments. Big Mac’s statement doesn’t strike me the same way.
No matter what, the Cowboys have to start showing they are more action than talk Sunday.
The first time this season these four will be on the field together........
Love it, love it .......even if we lose, like what MM's trying to do
The first time this season these four will be on the field together........
This could backfire so bad if we lose.
If we lose after McCarthy guaranteed a win that could shatter the ole' confidence. All the players will hear is how they failed after their coached guaranteed a victory.
This is a must win.
You are correct.Not could "will" if we lose. That will be the theme after the game and the rest of the year.
Rivera's quote reminds me that is exactly why Jimmy Johnson predicted the NFC conference championship victory against the 49ers. His team was young and he wanted to make it about him to take the pressure off them. Also he wanted to instill confidence in the team.
That always cracks me up...even more than Dak's version.
If we lose it will be bad enough. Mike's comments will just be icing on the meltdown cake.
When the Cowboys lose it's always a meltdown.
And rightly so. If they drop this one today they deserve every ounce of it.Yep, the meltdown will be epic ......
