Cowboys not getting alot of respect heading into playoffs

[JoeKing]

Entering the playoffs under the radar is the way to be.

I got a feeling SEA will underestimate us

Russell does not underestimate anyone. They will all be ready to fight. Will Dak be clutch throughout the whole game? Hit guys in stride and score TDs instead of field goals. That will be the difference. Defense holds opposing team to field goals. Offense scores TDs. And yes win the turnover battle.

que sera, sera. on another note, the cold front barreling through texas made for excellent duck hunting this morning. Saturday and sunday should be stellar as well.

Texas has 3 duck hunt zones. Which zone are you hunting in?

This is going to be another JAX game. We'll put a 38 burger on them.

Respect is earned. What have the Cowboys done in the playoffs lately to earn any respect?

It’s not about what we have done lately in the playoffs, it’s about how we are playing this year. We know the defense is playing lights out for the most part, the offense let’s call it interesting.

I'm scared of the Seahawks. Good defense, great running game, big play clutch QB, playing their best football down the stretch. They are a serious threat to win it all.

We will choke like we always do in the 1st playoff game. Garrett plays to lose not win. Dak will run for his life all game.

To be fair, if you were a Seahawks fan, or Seattle coach or player, you'd be licking at your chops to get the Cowboys at AT&T Stadium. Would you rather be playing the Bears or Rams? Probably not.

The same Seahawks team that lost to the Niners. And you could say that it was because that was a division game. But, the Bears also had a difficult time with the Niners and scored only 14 points. Which was why I said the Cowboys aren't the only team going into the playoffs that has had shakey games or games where they weren't dominating or blowing inferior teams out.

 

[cowboyblue22]

for me I am just going to watch the game and see what they do I really don't have much expectations for this team you just cant trust them to win it all a garrett coached team usually finds a way to lose a game that they should win so I guess we will see how it goes

Respect is earned......do something first..the respect will follow.

 

[visionary]

This is a good thing.

Yeah, it's 'a good thing' when your team has real glaring deficiencies and weaknesses and your opponents know them

Only a Garrett fan would say that
Nothing else to hang your hat on except faux bravado

 

[Roadtrip635]

Who cares.........not no NFC playoff team scare me to point of saying we have no chance. That's the great thing about the playoffs, ALL teams start at zero.......teams with the best execution and want it the most will win. It's as simple as that.....

It's a good thing that it's not about which fan base wants it the most, many fans have already given up before the playoffs have even started.

 

[Arkyvarminter]

If they could figure out the red zone woes it could make a difference in the playoffs. Once in the red zone they take Zeke out of the game plan for some reason. I don't know what the answer is but if we can score TD's instead of FG's in the red zone that would be huge..........

 

[Rayman70]

I kinda agree with us not being respected. We haven't earned it as of late. Its up to Dak,Linehan,Garrett to gain respect this week and heading into the playoffs. I don't see a win this week at NY. 9-7 is hardly a respectable record.Its all about good juju heading into the post season...and right now..I don't feel it.

 

[Rayman70]

Respect is earned......do something first..the respect will follow.

^^^^THAT^^^^ its that simple.

 

[Doomsday101]

One good thing is this will not be Dak 1st time in post season. He has now helped his team win the NFC East 2 out of his 1st. 3 seasons as QB. His last playoff appearance saw him go 24 of 38 for 302 with 3 TD and 1 int.

 

[elcowboi]

We certainly do not deserve any "respect" going into post-season. Besides, no one gets paid for respect anyway. What's the point? Just because the boys at the office think you're a great team and they'd be afraid to play you doesn't mean the opposing team is ...

Media respect and street talk is for thugs and rappers (same thing), so there's that.

Bless your heart...

 

[jrumann59]

Chiefs are 3-4 versus teams with 9 or more wins and 6-0 versus teams with 8 wins or less

 

[CouchCoach]

Until you prove you are the new you, you are the old you. Until they prove to Denny Green they are not who he thought they were, that's who they are.

Worst O of the NFC playoff teams and 3rd best D, going to need some mojo magic to make noise...………..turnovers. This team has to win the turnover battle, the great equalizer.

The only way the Cowboys are going to get any playoff respect is to earn it by winning. The last time they were in they had homefield throughout and blew that. The Cowboys are Playoff Patsy until proven otherwise.

They do have a good run game and D and that usually translates well in January but weather will not be a factor in their first game or second, should they win the first.

We all know what happens when the media hypes up the Cowboys
