Can we get this monkey off our back?

[Redball Express]

And I do not mean Stephen A Smith.

I mean the one that keeps dumping us right when we are about to take a big leap forward.

Today is huge day in this teams progress.

We need to win and beat the Colts and not back into the playoffs.

We have to shake our rep as a bunch of one and dones.

We all need to bring the voodoo today.

I know you guys agree with me.

None is this today.

 

[viman96]

losing today would not mean backing into the playoff.

if the boys lose out and the birds and skins do as well then that would be backing into the playoffs.

It's hard to be confident with Garrett manning the ship.

 

[Manster68]

The talking heads did say that Dallas had no change in their practices this week. That's a positive sign.

 

[blueblood70]

it would be a nice win against a rising team with a winning record to cap this win streak and put bow on the season, that would let the last two games be games where we start starter but limit snaps and pull the guys who need a break mid way through the 3rd quarter..

but in no way would a loss set us back..most would say we are do, playing so hard and motivated for 5staright wins and finally getting back on track and control our own destiny, on the road against an afc team might be a let down game..

win is great loss is just a regular L

 

[RodeoJake]

This game might not be important in terms of making the playoffs, but it's important to keep our momentum going.

Yep.

 

[blueblood70]

BTW the monkey right now is losing in the first round of the palyoffs in the last drive by Aaron rogers, hes our monkey and maybe we finally might be rid of him, lets pray for one more loss by them, then a win in the WC game..that will go along ways for this TEAM..NOT FANS..this is young team and really the 2016 loss in the playoff loss their reality and havent formed the monkey like the one we feel..we have an APE they have spider monkey..remember very NEW team of very young players..a loss today will not make them waiver..

In the NFL after watching for over 50 years..

one thing for sure..

teams that back in and let other teams do their fighting..

Never advance for long.

You have to finish the fight.

It's our time.

 

[ShortRound]

Garrett needs to control his clapping.

In all seriousness, I think we’ll put up a fight. I am worried though that the Colts need this game.

 

[Redball Express]

This game might not be important in terms of making the playoffs, but it's important to keep our momentum going.

And the emotional edge that is needed.

Again like in 2016..

It took Philly imploding and now also the Skins.

We ran down Philly in 2016 who had a 2 game lead with 4 to play.

Now we have the 2 game lead.

Time for Tank to start the strangle hold.

From the movie, "Midway" in the early 70s, after 3 of 4 Japanese carriers were sunk, a junior officer was congratulating Adm. Nimitz on his victory. The Admiral responded:

"There is one problem. I WANT THAT FOURTH CARRIER!"

Let's hope the Cowboys have a similar attitude towards the game with the Colts.

I hope the players are thinking differently.

They need to remove the drama.

We cannot afford to need our last 2 games to accomplish this.

There is always a danger with the Bucs and definitely the Jints that they could upset us.

And then we are climbing a slippery slope.

 

[robjay04]

Let’s win today but after that, it’s a balancing act.

You want to enter the playoffs as healthy as possible but you want to keep a rhythm as well.

Once it looks like there isn’t much else to play for...limit Zeke to 10-15 carries. Shut down Tyron and Martin.

Dak should stay playing but if the backup OL is causing him to take more hits than normal...he needs to sit as well.

Yes, it happens today with a double digit victory!

Loss produces doubt.

Win is a coffin nail.

We need all the nails and hammers we can find.

I do not want to see sad faces in the post game interviews.

I want to see celebrating.

NFC Champs.

Yeah it would be like that movie, Hamburger Hill.

 

[Redball Express]

A 2 game lead with 3 to play and losing the NFC East wouldbe catastrophic for all of us.

Except those that want Garrett fired.

I do not want to do ANOTHER HC change unless Knute Rockney is available.

 

[gmb1]

The monkey on our back is getting to the NFC Championship game. Hopefully that changes soon.

I agree to an extent, but remember, the Eagles needed last weeks game big time and that didn’t help them. Just saying.
