Cowboys getting zero respect

The way we played second half of season there’s not much reason to give us much respect along with our playoff history this era. We need to put up or shut up.

This is the bottom line. The team has done little over the last half of the season to earn the fans confidence.

To pretend this team is some sort of slam dunk playoff winner is either very misguided or willfully ignoring the facts. If someone wants to just be a "super positive" fan, that's fine but as long as they acknowledge they are choosing to ignore the concerns.
That's my issue.

I have no problem with overly positive fans unless they, like you said, chose to ignore the concerns and issues this team has right now.

I cannot, in good faith, enable delusional thinking. Maybe/hopefully they're just trolling us.

For so many this is about Dak for me it is about the Dallas Cowboys, it is a football team and the team consist of an offense and a defense and as a team they need to go out and produce to win. I'm sorry but this Dak agenda BS is really old and stupid. To win this team has to go out and play quality football period. That includes Dak but not Dak alone. People evidently are so fricken consumed with Dak they do not see the simple fact and the simple truth that it is a team who wins. If Dak goes out puts up 300 plus yards and throws a couple of TD and we lose what difference does it make if he played good? It is the team who must play good ball to win. Ask GB they have one of the all time great QB and yet has 1 ring from many season ago. It takes more than a QB and yet so many here are so dense they can't figure this out, so we get hundreds of Dak threads. If this team is to achieve what I am guess most of us want then it will be the Dallas Cowboys who win, not the Dallas Dak
I agree. I see both Prescott and Jimmy G playing well and it probably coming down to what holds up best between our run defense and their secondary. It's going to be close either way and likely coming down to a few plays.

this morning on GMF. The whole panel basically thinks they are losing this week. Saying pretty much same old Cowboys. Said they really didn't beat anyone this season. Until the Cowboys make a playoff run this will always be the narrative and it should. Here's to hoping they finally shut some people up because the truth does hurt.
This is the best thing that can possibly happen. The Cowboys have a history of winning when consensus is they won't. It's the games every talking head pegs them to win that they will surely let you down.

By FPI the Cowboys have a 64% chance of winning. I don’t think people on the board are shaking. The talking heads on GMF don’t like the Cowboys they had a segment last week that they trust the Eagles more in playoffs then the Cowboys. Basically saying the Eagles have a better chance of beating Brady then Cowboys beating San Francisco.

For me I think the big key is Dallas OL. If they can get back to opening holes and holding up protection this offense will put up points. Dallas can take away the run game easily of SF by putting up points and turning this game into a shootout.

Agree. They will have to play a lot better than the Rams' offensive line or we will be one and done.

It’s a bad matchup for us so I don’t blame them for picking against us.


Our best matchup is their weak secondary and I’m sorry but I just do not go into a game against a good team confident our QB is going to perform.

Honestly they are going off recent playoff history for the Cowboys. We haven't proven to be anything other than a good team that can't get past the divisional round.

Sounds like 80% of this board here. Bunch of naysayers, bandwagon jumpers and flip-floppers.

That's what ruins a "Fan Zone".

im glad

i hope the team is watching and coaches are making clips all week on how " we are soft and don't want any of the 9ers" lol make a clip of all of it and put it on loop in the locker-room.

odd they say we cant play outside of our division yet many games were 3, 2, 3, 10 that's 4 losses point differential 2 of them to the SB teams of last year on the road. mistakes cost us those games ie some the REFS

so go ahead and overlook this team. we can in fact play with the best but cant overcome mistakes we've shot ourselves in the foot yet lose by a FG or less? that actually proves we can play and beat the best IF we limit mistakes.

Did you watch the segment?
Yes Jazz I seen the cast and what did anyone of them say that was wrong. Please you go and rewatch the episode and tell me what anyone of them said was incorrect.

I asked why are they haters because their telling the truth? And I guess the my question is a little off base because there are haters out there, but our team total creates and backs their premise. Look at Stephen A. who is the because hater out there. His total premise is that with the Cowboys something is eventually going to go wrong, and he is absolutely and totally right. If the Cowboys would have won just half or even a third of their big games, I would expect less haters. But we NEVER EVER win big games, EVER!

Win big games and then their narratives will change. Let’s start be winning this weekend!

Go Cowboys!

DAK has the best QBR rating of all the NFC qbs for playoff games. so? saw it on Get UP.. daks not been the reason we lost any playoff games that's for sure. weve been missing defense and lady luck has been against us..

hoe that changed. We are DUE :)

Doesn’t really matter what they think. Only reason I watch that show is to check out Kay. I do miss Nate Burleson on that show as I always respected his takes.
