But you folks can't tell me that looking up at the scoreboard RIGHT BEFORE our game starts and seeing that their hopes have been totally dashed won't be incredibly disheartening to them.

True, but that logic only works if they haven't already accepted the fact that they blew their chance last week, and they aren't already approaching this game with knocking us out as the motivational factor.

Very well said. I love me some Cowboys but I have been so disappointed since Jimmy Johnson was let go. Even the 95 SB, which I had the great pleasure to be at was not a signature Cowboys win. Hell, if it wasn't for Neil O'Donnell throwing directly to Larry Brown we don't win that game and it is the last time we won a playoff game.

Holy Cow, Batman, it is time to turn this around!!!! Come on T.R. protect the ball. Common OL start showing some grit and pay attention to the count. Hey, T.O. catch what they throw you. Hey Red, stop being so conservative. Employ the two minute offense right away. Get the ball snapped with 8 seconds left rather than 1. Let's play like we mean it!!!
WIN an IN!!!!

I agree that the 95 Super Bowl left me a little unsatisfied because as a spoiled fan, I wanted us to BLOW OUT the hated Steelers, not let them hang around so they could talk about how they had a chance. In retrospect, if I had known that that was the last hurrah for a long time, I would have savored it much more. As far as that being the last playoff win, NOT! We blew out Minnesota 41-0 or something like that at Texas Stadium the next year. That was the last playoff win.

it's not surprising to hear him say that. The Iggles have all sorts of incentive to beat us and I think #1 above all else is that it's Dallas; be it week 1 or week 17, it's Dallas.

2nd of course is, even if Tampa wins, win and kill Dallas' playoff hopes.

3rd has to be winning their home finale. After Dallas blew theirs last week, it's a chance for them to say "This is how you finish things."

I'm sure Jim Mora's words have echoed through their lockerroom this week... "Playoffs??" It's probably the last thing on their mind because it's the one thing that they have least control over.

Dallas' incentives should be: #1 BEAT the Eagles @ Philly! #2 SWEEP the Eagles! #3 Win and piss off all those eagles fans. #4 Win and in.

Forget the rest of that list.
#4 is the only one that matters: Win & they're in!
Period.

"I would want to, yes," he said. "No matter if we are in the playoffs or not, I still have a strong dislike for Dallas. I still am going to go out there and fight like we have an opportunity to get into the playoffs .

I wonder how many of our players feel the same way about the Eagles? Do our players have the emotional quotient to win this game? History says NO!!!!
I say NO!!! too. Sorry to say, I have no confidence in Wade or the team to get up for this.

We are in the playoffs, now. Its one and done, Sunday or when we get into the playoffs. The record is replete with bad omens. We don't win the last game of the year since 1999, we don't win in Philly, we don't win playoff games, we don't win in December.

I will be watching. Wearing my T.R. shirt but I fear the Pokes will rip out our hearts and stomp on them one more time. The only question is how. Will they get a punt blocked in overtime? Will they fumble as they go in for the winning score? Will Gurode forget the count and hike the ball off of Romo's pads into a game changing fumble? Will T.O. drop a sure touchdown or Romo overthrow Crayton streaking down the middle? Only time will tell. Come on Wade make me eat my words!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Westbrook just wishes he had a star on his helmet!

We always read about other NFCE players dislike for the Cowboys so not really surprising.

Negativity Nancy? I guess I know a little more about football than you do Polly Anna.

Don't give up your job at the gas station pumping gas for prognostication.
