Facing and beating the Patriots in the Super Bowl would be all the toughness and justification that I would need. But there is no easy path in the NFC to the Super Bowl.

Bickering is redundant. The games and their outcomes are not scripted. An opponent which seems the easiest matchup may give your team the hardest battle. Conversely, an opponent expected to fight your team tooth-and-nail may end up being the least competitive.

Play your opponent. Execute your schemes. Provide maximum effort. That's it.

I think they do. I live in Bears and Packers country and everyone I talk to wants nothing to do with Dallas. I was talking to a hard core Packers fan last week and he was telling me he prays the Giants knock out the Cowboys so the Packers don't have to play us.

I think in the post season every game is going to present a different challenge. All the teams can beat us if everything goes right but at the same time we can beat anybody with our game. Each team has a different strength we'll have to overcome but we are not 13-3 because we suck.

Dallas is keeping other teams up at night worrying about how to stop Zeke and Dak and the resurgence of our defense.
Yes, great read and I agree agree with you

So you want to reduce the chances the team makes and wins the Superbowl? I'm sorry, but that is stupid. I want to play Detroit, Seattle, and Houston/Miami. You can take GB, ATL, and NE.

well if you feel we would struggle against the Packers and Falcons then we are not what we thought we were

Then if both games was easy and we reach the SB, then we get creamed by the PATS since we were not in any battles
If this were true than neither would the Pats have been champions. I've never seen a more winning team given easier schedules (they had the second easiest schedule this year while being in the AFC championship game last year) and an easier path to Super Bowls than the Cheatriots. They've played in the worst division for the past ten years or more and even this year multiple starting QBs for playoff teams went down to make their path all that much easier. I can't stand them.

The Falcons lost to the eagles on the road and the Packers lost to the Deadskins on the road


I don't fear either team

There is definitely a such thing as match ups and getting the right or wrong ones in the playoffs can mean the difference between winning a Super Bowl or not. I'm nervous because I realize how special each of these games are and how hard they are to win. Let's go Cowboys!

Part of me wants the Giants because I really feel the Cowboys would be a 1 pt underdog at home in addition to all the media people picking the Giants. They would have a huge chip on their shoulder if that happens, especially since they already lost to them twice

That said they somehow have our number. That and the fact that the last time we had a 13-3 season the Giants beat us. I do believe that Dak is a totally different QB than Romo and won't take risks that will hurt us in the big games. I believe that is the key to winning multiple games in the post season.

So we are destined to get to the super bowl and get creamed by the pats? o_O No! We should be favored against any team in the NFL. The Pats are not better than us. :flagwave:

Falcons lost to the eagles in philly and packers lost to the skins in washington. They don't scare me

Dallas almost lost to the Skins in Washington. Dallas lost to the Giants twice. Before you make another post, understand what the phrase " Any Given Sunday" means, especially in regards to the playoffs.

I know that so shouldn't that apply to us also? Why do you think we would get smoked by GB or Atl?

I agree with the OP. Those teams that we don't match up well with, chances are we are going to have to face them in the playoffs. This is not the time to be scare of this matchup, or that quarterback, or that defense. We have to fight no matter who is in front of us, so bring it on!!!!
