It is sort of a silly thing to do…to call this a statement game. He’s not even facing a team that is playing their starting QB and the game very likely will have no bearing on the playoff seeding. It’s a nothing-burger game. All he did was put pressure on himself and his team. I don’t see the point of hyping it up

I believe he was saying it was a statement to themselves.

To be fair he said make a statement to ourselves.

This team can’t shut up. Last year, they talked about Ariz being a “statement game” and they laid a turd.

Now Dak is yapping about the Eagles game being a statement game.

I wish— for once (since Parcells left)— this team would do their talking on the field. If they go out and lose to Minshew tomorrow night, they will have earned every bit of disrespect they get.

What do they earn by talking this game up? If they win— the story will be they beat a backup QB. If they lose, they are a joke. SMH… I fail to see the upside of trying to declare this game some kind of measuring stick now that Hurts has been ruled out.

But look at you listening and even posting it. Help me make it make sense. Because if you tired of hearing it, them literally stop listening to it lol

This isn't a statement game. It's just a game we should win. If they had Hurts playing...then maybe it would fall in that category.

Statement games are playoff games...and well, yeah.

The postseason is your statement. Fail to make it at least to the NFCCG and you failed this season. Hyping a game where the opposing team’s starting QB is out??

Parcells....what did he accomplish here, other than getting a towel thrown at his face.....he just collected one last paycheck.

He tried to initiate a 3-4 defense, and tried to initiate a true 2 TE set but failed in accomplishing either.

Nothing about this game is a statement game

stupid comment. This game is as close to meaningless as possible

Band geek every game is a statement game

If they lose, what would be just as good as Dak's yapping after laying an egg like last year's SF game would be the Head Coach to look you in the eye post game and say we were nervous.
And then say that I didn't sit in on any of the offensive game planning for the week. Nor did I offer any in game advice/adjustments.

That would be some impressive true leadership of your 2 top guys.

Is it too late to hope for improvement?
LOL

PS. Advance Notice: "It's all Kellen's fault."

They take their cues from the owner. Always talking but never winning anything important.

stilltheguru · Dec 23, 2022

To be fair they said Minnesota was a playoff game. But yea they talk too much

RoyalCowboy · Dec 23, 2022

You guys are being too juvenile. This was just a simple weekly interview that occurs every week and he was asked is this a statement game. He says this game is a statement for themselves. It pays to actually pay attention.

Who "bites their feet?"

That's not to say that Dallas aren't motivated. Quarterback Dak Prescott said this week: "If anything, it's about making a statement to ourselves.
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott says the team are keen to 'make a statement' in their game against the Philadelphia Eagles on Christmas Eve
"As you look at the season, we've had some games where we played really well and some games where we bit ourselves in the foot, and had some games where we didn't and we lost.

"It's about putting our best foot forward, putting our best effort out there and proving it to ourselves in all three phases that we're a hell of a team and we can go get it done against one of the best teams in the league whether they're in our division or not."
