A win means nothing, a loss means everything

Jkyle · Oct 13, 2019

Beating the Jet will mean nothing because it will be chalked up as another cupcake opponent that Dallas should beat.
Losing will be huge because it will result in calls for the coach to be fired and the players will be heavily scrutinized for not playing to their abilities.
It will also make the fans disenchanted due to it meaning that this will likely be another 8-8/10-6 season with no playoff expectations.

I’ll still take the W. If Cowboys can take care of business like they should and the Eagles lose, I’ll be a happy camper.

No win is meaningless at this point in the season.

A win never means nothing. At the end of the year no one asks how, they ask how many.

If you can't beat the Jets, you don't deserve to win a SB.

I know what you mean, it does feel almost like a 'no win' situation.

A third loss in a row would be huge. A win would mean more than "nothing" but not by much. It puts us at 4-2 headed into Eagle's week. And keeps the over-critical fans off the ledge for another week.

A win won't be impressive enough regardless of score..folks need stuff to whine about all week

Wrong. Beating the Jets ends a 2 game skid.

Any team losing 3 straight when they have huge expectations will results in an angry fanbase and the media taking shots and calling for the HC to be fired.

No win in the NFL is ever meaningless

Tangle_Foot · Oct 13, 2019

So I record is "3 means nothing" and "2 everything" :huh:

buybuydandavis · Oct 13, 2019

An unexpected loss would cause us to update our estimate of the team more than an expected win.

That's the way it is with surprising events.

CATCH17 · Oct 13, 2019

I agree.

KingintheNorth · Oct 13, 2019

Actually the win has meaning because a loss would be unacceptable.

mldardy · Oct 13, 2019

A win means nothing? Wow stop.

HungryLion · Oct 13, 2019

A win doesn’t mean nothing.

Sure it won’t reveal to us, how good the cowboys are and can be.

But it still is 1 win closer to getting a playoff spot. Which is all that matters.

JayFord · Oct 13, 2019

There are no cupcake wins for dallas

ill take em all....because this team aint that good

Parcells4Life · Oct 13, 2019

Without either starting tackle the game just got a lot more dangerous. Sack fumbles can easily get the team beat.

Eddie · Oct 13, 2019

You guys never cease to amaze me.

A win means nothing, a loss means everything
