Get ready for the anti-Cowboys media blitz

[Redball Express]

We all see it coming..

so far..we have been the darlings of the NFL along with the Raiders.

But all along..the media has been grinding agendas to question the teams strength.

Is is Romo or is it DAK?

Romo finally stepped up and struck a fork in it.

Is our defense good enough without a pass rush?

Can we win without turnovers?

When are the 'rookies' going to hit a wall?

The new popular media favorite seems to be the Jints at 8-3 and having been the only team to beat us.

So stand by..

almost everybody we play to close the season has a shot at the playoffs and will pullout all the stops to beat us.

If we lose..expect an avalanche of reporting saying we are not as good as assumed.

This will be a very tough gauntlet to run for the team and I think we all know it.

I don't think we will sweep our division by beating the Commanders twice and the Iggles twice AND the Jints again.

Plus beat the Vikes and TB.

Tall order.

How do we handle it?

Opinions?

Just keep winning!

 

[theebs]

Looking forward to it.

I watched inside the nfl last night and Brandon marshall and phil simms said the Giants will win the east. This sentiment is growing and I like it.

I hope everyone picks the giants and says Dallas is not as good as people think.

If we lose to the Vikings and the giants beat the steelers its going to be a long week to that game.

 

[Redball Express]

Just keep winning!

Of course..

my concern is that now there is enough tape on DAK and the offense to really go to work on scheming how to derail our momentum.

Our defense is really our Achilles and if they start hemorraging down the road..

Not sure we can overcome that with our defense as it stands now.

The Commanders set the blueprint to beat us.

Deep passing and ball control and time of possession.

What teams have the formula to do this?

We will sweep the Eagles and beat the Giants.......also we will win the rest of the games to a superbowl victory. This team knows how to win, QB throws for 450 yards with no sacks and turnovers we still win. Pittsburgh scores 30 we win, wanna play conservative we win, wanna stop Dak we win, try to stop Zeke we win, go to over time......that's right we win. We are built for success and I see no reason for that to change, been hearing some the offseason we aren't good enough, or our defense will make us lose etc. We still win

 

[Baileyneverfailey]

Honestly, all the criticisms I see of our team, like how it's easier to win in the playoffs with defense than offense and it could be a problem for us are totally legit.

If we win the super bowl against a team like the Pats, it will be because we did it the way the 07 giants did, by keeping the ball away from Brady with the run game and efficient passing. We absolutely cannot stop them enough to win a game against them if the TOP is even.

I love the hell out of this team, and the ride we're on, but it will not surprise me at all if we have one game where Dak turns it over once and a RB or WR fumbles it away and we lose by 2 scores because the offense didn't dominate the TOP.

We're tied with the Eagles and Giants in points given up, but they're in the top 5 in defensive points per drive where we're only like middle of the pack. We cannot beat good teams if we let them have a lot of offensive possessions, period.

The good news is we're built to not let them have offensive possessions, I am just scared of riding that kind of team to the big game.

Some of you worry way too much about what the media is going to say. Geez.

I would agree...but our margin for error is very thin with this defense. If our rookie QB throws a couple of picks in a playoff game...or our rookie RB puts the ball on the ground in a playoff game....unless our defense generates a couple of turnovers themselves in the same game....we could be one and done.

As a fan, I actually welcome it. I'd rather be overly criticized than overly praised. When we are praised too much, I get nervous. I am used to the sensationalizing by the media, both favorably and negatively. As far as the team is concerned, I hope they use it as motivation to prove the doubters and haters wrong.

 

[Reverend Conehead]

I'm prepared for a bunch of anti-Cowboy babble, very little of which is actual useful information about the sport.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

Enjoy the ride now. Don't worry about what will happen and let it ruin it for you while the team is still winning.

Yeah..

I know.

What keeps me from pushing all the 'Go' buttons is our history finishing seasons..

so I am enjoying things but its about to be a nut-cracker finish with possibilities of a failed result.

Just call me shell-shocked.

Haha..

Was 11 games the magic number to have "enough tape" on Dak to shut them down? Teams have had enough tape for a little while now, IMO. I think having "the blueprint" and having the horses to execute it are two different things.

Dak Prescott is only going to get better and he'll probably run the table into the NFCG

The skins also have arguably the best set of receiving weapons in the league. Even if they set a blueprint, we led the entire game and our pass defense should improve with Church returning.

I am not predicting 15-1 but we handled the Skins pretty easily.

 

[MileyDancer]

No kidding. A lot of sensitivity people in here. I also don't think the media will discredit us. They know once our defense is sorted out, we're a contender every year.

The Commanders set the blueprint to beat us and yet they were still playing from two possessions down most of the 2nd half

I don't know man, I'm really worried about what could happen in week 8 of the 2018 season.

That's ifs and speculations. Been hearing that all year but yet we still find ways to win. The same could be said about any team in the playoffs by the way
