7-5 is what we'll be in about 7 hours

[Bleu Star]

That's what we'll be in about 7 hours. I just wanted everyone to know that. Eat, drink, be merry, & most of all thankful that we're all fans of the greatest franchise known to man.

 

[Gridiron Man]

What?? You mean we wont be 6-6? Just when I thought we were becoming consistent at something.

I joke. Hopefully we start wining consistently. I want off this seesaw.

 

[tecolote]

And 5-2 in our last 7.

 

[jazzcat22]

Win out for rest of the year [year meaning 2013 season] right on into February.

The recipe is there for a hot flare up at just the right time. I would love for my 8-8 (9-7 at best) preseason prediction to get blown out of the water.

 

[CowboyStar88]

Not that confident at all. Actually I don't like any "guarantees" because nothing is guaranteed but death and taxes

No guarantees. Just insight.

 

[Vanilla2]

Only guarantees this place likes are other teams guaranteeing victory or some of us guaranteeing a loss.

I myself made a lunch bet with another cowboy fan that they will win today.

U saying there are Cowboy fans who bet against the Cowboys...NOOOOOO

Unfortunately, yes.

The recipe was there in 2011 after the Cowboys beat Miami on Thanksgiving for their 4th straight win giving them a 7-4 record heading into Dec. They were red hot and in excellent shape only to come back from the break flat losing to AZ on the road en route to a 1-4 Dec/Jan. It doesn't take much for the Cowboys to become complacent. The Bears in Chicago will be up next on a Monday Night followed by Green Bay so regardless of what happens today it's a must the Cowboys stay focused during the break and return ready to play football to avoid a repeat of past Decembers.

 

[Bleu Star]

I choose to look forward. Looking back serves no real purpose. That's like one of our fans using our last super bowl victory of 18 years ago to justify the fact that we're familiar with the playoffs. This team came back from the break and did the Gnats in their house after they tried every intimidation ploy known to man. I choose to embrace what I see in front of me.

Going back 18 years ago serves no purpose that was a different team playing in a different era. I'm referring to recent history and the Cowboys have had some issues in Dec closing their seasons out strong. I'm not saying this will continue but until the Cowboys prove they can beat contending teams in Dec and win do or die games I'm going to remain skeptical. The Cowboys haven't beaten a team with a winning record all season and if they beat the Raiders today that will continue. When the Cowboys return from the break 3 of their last 4 games will be against contending teams. As has been the case with the Cowboys the last several years Dec will make or break their season. It's in Dec when you find out whether a team is a true contender or a pretender.

 

[Bleu Star]

Yeah. I've been through all of the December stuff. If you recall, going back several years, I started a lot of that "can't win in December" stuff on the board. I guess several years of mediocrity gives you a different outlook on things. It has for me. I take every positive with a smile and a hint of optimism mixed in with a touch of levity. I happen to believe this team is developing a toughness that will be invaluable in the coming weeks. I could be completely wrong too though.

Incorrect. The Cowboys defeated the Eagles, who are 6-5 at the moment.

Philly is 6-5 at the moment but were 3-3 when the Cowboys beat them. As usual you didn't comprehend my post.

Nope, if that were your meaning you would have said, "The Cowboys haven't beaten a team that had a winning record at the time."

I'll give you credit, though. It was a nice try.

That was my meaning and you're the only one who wasn't clear on it. It's not the first time you haven't been able to comprehend one of my posts mainly because you're too busy looking for an inaccuracy. Everything has to be spelled out in bold print for you.
