------------------------------------

I agree 100% with Deion about the expectations in 2008.

 

[switzersflask]

Might wanna worry about winning a playoff game first.

I'm not trying to be a smart***, just trying to be logical. As a huge fan of championships (trust me on this) nothing hurts worse than unfulfilled expectations.

Aren't all teams in superbowl or bust mode? I don't remember a team getting eliminated in the playoffs and saying, "Hey, at least we made it!"

If given a chance, the Dolphins, Rams and Jets would. With the good and bad that happened last season, we're held to a seperate standard. Speaking from last season(which I know, is playing with fire), we got the easiest road to the SB of all teams in the NFL and should deliver.

I seem to remember talk of 13-3 and winning a playoff game because of the bye....

This is the most overused and unnecessary statement I continue to see from time to time on this board. The goal and the ONLY goal is to win a championship. A playoff victory coincide with that but winning a playoff game and then losing the next week is not the goal. Maybe it is for you but not for me and especially not for this team.

at this point we are very overrated and that scares me....we dont have the do whatever it takes to win attitude because to some of these guys they have already won because to them winning is getting the big payday! a superbowl is just an afterthought and talking about winning one is lipservice...i dont think that tony romo has what it takes mentally to win it...at least if he has to carry the team he cant....at this point that is what it will take...he parties too much....golfs too much...out all the time...our O line was in bad shape at the end of last year and it showed....i am telling you these guys got paid already they dont care as much as you may think...its a shame because many of you are on here everyday all day and all that is going to happen is they are going to lose some more playoff games...they dont care as much as you do...i would suggest you guys invest more of your time elseware...you are wasting it here on these primadonna's...

Yeah, but they didn't make the playoffs. No team good enough to make the playoffs, gets there, loses and says, "Yay! We made the playoffs!". If they do, they are a bunch of losers and should be laughed out of the league, this ain't Peewee.

STOP SAYING THIS ON THIS MESSAGE BOARD!

This is dead give away troll speak. So even if you're not a troll and an elohssa it makes you sound like a troll and an elohssa.

We are Cowboy fans, we never "worry about winning a playoff game".

Our franchise has won more playoff games than any other NFL team. That includes teams with as many as 35 more seasons played than us.

We don't worry about anything.......elohssa.

 

[CowboyWay]

Amen brother. playoff wins are great for teams like the Eagles.

We are not the Eagles.

We win championships.

1) Why do you believe we are overrated? We were one of the best teams in football last year. We did more to improve ourselves as any of the contenders and have as much or more motivation as a team because of our 1st rd loss.

2) Why does being a favorite scare you? Would you rather suck and have no expectations? Is that more in your comfort zone?

3) "i dont think that tony romo has what it takes mentally to win it...at least if he has to carry the team he cant....at this point that is what it will take...he parties too much....golfs too much...out all the time"

Romo is a self made player. He has done this by working harder than the next guy. This FACT is disputed by nobody.

:laugh2: I'm with ya brotha!

A playoff win is for those you live a glass half empty life. Winning one or two playoff games really doesn't do it for me and most long time followers. Win it all or the hell with it!

I think we all know the route to the Super Bowl.

Are you going to be saying, 'we had a good season' if we win a playoff game or two next season and don't reach the Super Bowl?

I won't be. I'll be furious and feel that this team has underachieved.

If you told me the Colts and Patriots were in the NFC then I may accept a loss in the championship game without going berserko, but that's not the way it is. Manning and Brady are that good and I respect them that much to realize that a team can play a great game and still lose to them.

The NFC is ours for the taking and in 2008 it's time to walk the walk, finish the job, whatever phrase you wanna use...but make sure the season doesn't end until February 3rd in Tampa.

Very well said!!!!

Tony Romo needs to win a playoff game this year.

 

[carphalen5150]

Tony Romo needs to win a playoff game this year.

He gets his first win last year if Crayton finishes a route or catches a simple crossing pattern. Romo is the least of the teams worries as far as winning a playoff game.

 

[jobberone]

I think what most are saying is they don't want us to overlook anyone at any time during the season and esp in the playoffs.

There is nothing wrong with setting stepped goals. Win each game step by step. Win your division and conferece games. Win a playoff spot. Win your division. Win the number one seed. Win your playoff games. Win your divisional game. Win your conference championship. Win the SB.

Then do it all over again the day after your win ala Bob Lilly.
