the 1993 season where we were on a 5 game winning streak going into the postseason. If we beat Philly and have a 3 game winning streak going into the playoffs, I like our chances! :starspin

Agreed, IF we beat philly. Otherwise, we're just another no. 6 seed heading to the playoffs losing 3 of 5 games.

The game against Philly is key. I hope we bash those scum bags. I hate Philly with a passion.

He's got a good point.

We beat new orleans. Tampa just beat them too.

We beat the skins. If you don't beat the skins, they kick you out of the league.

Translation.....we haven't done anything yet. I like the way we've been playing, but I think we should all temper ourselves. We need to win next week and secure a home game.

Apparently I did not know the schedule. I guess that was my problem.

No need to be smart, bro. If you actually read the OP, I said "IF we beat Philly and have a 3 game winning streak going into the playoffs, I like our chances!"

Reading is fundamental. ;)

Yup, win next week and I'll be a bit more convinced (winning this game means very little). Lose next week and it looks a lot like the 2007 season. Not saying the 2007 season will repeat but just can't say we have a ton of momentum going in if we close on a loss.

Lol true. But seriously, I'm just saying going back to the Parcells' days, we always seemed to limp into the playoffs. Heck in 2007 you could say we limped into the playoffs with barely beating the lowly Lions and losing to Philly @ home. It's been a long time since it has felt like we have momentum going into the tournament.

Oh, well, perhaps you should restructure your original sentence so that it means what you are saying whether than what it actuall says because right now it reads:

Cowboys have not had this much MOMENTUM going into the playoffs since the 1993 season where we were on a 5 game winning streak going into the postseason. The if concerns you liking our chances if we beat philly, not having momentum going into the playoffs being dependent on beating philly. Simple writing. Got to write what you mean.

I consider a two game winning streak in the month of DECEMBER momentum, based on what we haven't done in over a decade. Knocking off a previous 13-0 team in their house in a hostile environment is a season-changing momentum game. Our defense is playing lights OUT. We just shut out our bitter rivals for the first time in 6 years. We have a good amount of momentum and it will only snowball forward IF we beat Philly next week.

Yes, we have a bit of momentum now, to enter the playoffs with this momentum we need to beat Philly next week. I guess thats what you are saying.

Yes, sorry I wasn't more clear with the title. No need for confusion.
