Do the Cowboys look like a team that could win a playoff game?

No. I think they will be one and done. Not because of lack of talent or injuries. Because we have an inept head coach. Look what San Fran is doing with their 3rd string rookie…it’s ridiculous how bad Mike McCarthy is. And any head coach that uses injuries as an excuse is should be fired…and he used the injury excuse. He’s already lobbying to save his job…he’s just a blob at this point to me.

It's interesting how we were able to seemingly overcome early injuries to the offense in the first half of the season. Now that injuries are starting on defense, we immediately collapse. Not sure who's to blame here. DQ?

As long as the defenses performance against Jax isn’t the new norm I think we win 1 game then lose the 2nd.

I can see them winning the wildcard game— give them a 50/50 shot. It’s not like those other teams are playing consistent, championship caliber football either.

They have demonstrated they can pull it together and dominate for a game. Consistently performing at that level for 3-4 games?! THAT has been the issue, and continues to dog this team at every turn

Yes. When do we play Prairie View University? We'll even go into their house and shine.

Seriously, anything can happen. Every year we have losses we shouldn't and wins that surprise us. Why not the playoffs for wins?

Over the past several weeks, this team has become plagued with injuries and have been playing sloppily.

I don't have faith that this team could pull off a win.

Your thoughts?

So far no. They have one chance to prove themselves against the Eagles. I don't have high hopes after last Sunday's performance but the Eagles game would be on par of a playoff game.

Do they look like a team that could win some games in the playoffs right now? Not really. They look to be in a rut. Dak hasn't been all that consistent, making some mistakes that you just can't make in playoff games. The defense is leaking oil due to injuries and the fact I think mediocre DT play eventually catches up to you.

And given how this team always sputters come postseason, at least for the last 20 years or so, I wouldn't put a penny on us to win a playoff game.

That being said, there are enough good players on this team that if we just got bizarrely hot, like we have from time to time during some past regular seasons, sure, we could go on a bit of a run. But again, we haven't done that in the postseason since the mid 90s, so I am not sure I'd expect that this year.

Sure but if we are going to go by history where we lose some we should win and win some we should lose, this team pretty much always fails in the postseason, at least for around two decades. I mean you have to work really, really hard to have just 3 playoff wins in like 23 years.

Which team shows up? The one that has played the Texans and Jaguars or the Vikings?

From the coaches to the players. What part of this team do you trust to go in and win a playoff game? My answer is none. So my answer to your question would be "NO". Dak and the offense would be the only part I'd have even a wisp of confidence in.
