With 5 games to go in the regular season and the NFL landscape this year apparent and the Cowboys almost certainly headed for a playoff berth, I think it's a good time to take your temperature.

How are you feeling? Are you in or out?

Emotionally everybody's in but what does your mind say? Will they make a run? A run being at least an NFCCG appearance. Or is this the same movie with the same ending?

Does this year just feel different?

The question i have is will this coaching staff get outcoached once again. Seems like the team is poorly prepared with inferior game plans and its always an uphill battle once the post season rolls around. Thus the one and done. Coaching matters in the playoffs, makes a bigger difference.

Voted yes. Believe we make it to the NFCCG. Here’s why:

1. Watered down NFC
2. Legit D
3. Solid running game
4. Underdog vs Favorite positioning (this team performs better when chasing than when they are favorites— pressure is on Philly)
5. Regression to the mean. Eventually the drought will end and the breakthrough will come. Dallas is due a deep playoff run. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
6. Tyron’s return. The OL is going to peak over the next few weeks, therefore the offense is going to peak at the same time, ergo the team will be peaking at the optimal time as we head into the playoffs. We will be playing our best brand of football when it matters most.
7. Coaching. MM and DQ are seasoned and have some skins and some failures on the wall. This is likely their last ride together with DQ and KM leaving for greener pastures next year. Believe that as Jan rolls around, MM and DQ >> Siriani from an experience, wisdom, and preparation perspective and will have the team ready mentally for this opportunity.

Greatness is measured in the playoffs.

Looking back for a change of what to expect from the team started with the GB and the Minny game. Both were abnomalies and we lost to GB. But still in both we dominated.

After the Minny game i still didnt know how to feel about them. But then came the NYG game where they really played good. Especially there was a chance were an old DC team would have fallen apart. But they withheld and won.

I think after that NYG game i really started to feel differently about them. That this team is still not a contender but could go to the playoffs and may win more than one game.

The only reason i still doubt them is the crap we have at the QB position.

My heart is guarded. I've built a wall bigger than the great wall of China when it comes to the Cowboys. If we do win a SB before I die, I will sob like a baby.

jerry jones loves you guys, don't forget to buy some "gear" crap. He needs to pay for more kids he won't take credit for.

Yes, I believe in them - that they will break our hearts just like the last 26 or so have.

I feel better than I have in quite awhile this late in the season. I would have never guessed that the Rams, Cardinals, Packers, and Bucs would either fall apart or be .500 or worse. I expected the division to come down to BOYS and IGGLES, just never expected they'd be the 2 best in the NFC this late. With SF's QB injuries, looks like they are the two favorites. It would figure that this year only one team gets a bye in each conference, lol. Theres one more game against them, then a probable 2nd round meeting again in JAN. We will all find out, but I definitely didn't figure this coming in to this season. Its been a nice surprise and a fun ride.

Do I think the Cowboys are good enough to win a SB? Yes. An unequivocal yes.

Do I think Dak can string 4 wins together in the playoffs and win a SB. Yes. Do I think he will do it? No. Either Dak or Kellen or both will **** the bed at some point.

Great question. We can defeat lower and middle-rung teams but let's see what they do against Philthy here at home.

Faith is the substance of things hoped for
The evidence of things not yet seen

Do I have Faith Yes because that's the whole point of being a Fan.
We watch every year because we Love the game We Love our Cowboys.
This Team is like our kids they upset us when they do crazy dumb things but oh how our chest swells up when they succeed.
We have an unusual season going for us.
We come out we stink against Tampa, and Dak goes down. Hmmm our season is lost but wait We go 4-1. No one saw that coming.

Our Defense goes to a different level. Then our one Trap game GB oh how we needed to be humbled.
The Offense has gotten better each week and When Tyron comes back going to be even better.
Do I believe Heck Ya that's what being a Fan is all about!

No, as once again the Offense will be a dollar and a day short in the playoffs.
Defense can only do so much.....

I’m sucked in not so much be this team but because the only competition in the NFC is the Eagles
What IF Dak didn't work with Peyton Manning to read dEFenCes all off season?

Could Prescott lead a top Offense without learning how to reading a DeFEnCe?

Naw sir.....your pompousness sucked you in:lmao2:Blockchain never lies!!

But the deficiencies remain

If I were Dak I would pay Payton Manning 1 million to hire him to work with me on reading defences all off season. At the level Dak is, if he works with a Payton twice a week for 5 months going over every single game film he will understand what defences are doing and that will make him a much better QB but of course that requires accepting that you are weak in this area and I don’t think he would be willing to truly accept that

Can't give a definitive response tbh. They close the season against 3 playoff teams (Philly, Tennessee and Washington). All three have strong running games and defenses. Philly is the best team in the League, conference and division. Big measuring stick game on 12/24/22.

How this team handles the playoff run that begins on Christmas Eve will give me the answer.
