Gonna have to beat Brady and Bucs 1st round

[nate dizzle]

The one who put up 17 points in 4 quarters?

That's 14 more than he needed to beat us

And it looks like Julio Jones is starting to come to life again

Really? His last 5 games:
3 for 28
3 for 40
3 for 53, 1 TD
2 for 28
2 for 21, 1 TD

Why is everyone scared of Brady? He lost in the playoffs last season at home, and this season's team isn't near as good as they were last year.

Guessing it has something to do with never having beaten him. Just a guess.

You know damn well we are not the same team now as we were back then. Stop with the nonsense.

I mean, I get that, but those teams were a LOT better than this year's team. Yeah, we crapped the bed week 1, but this offense has been killing it since Dak returned, and our defense is #1 in a few categories.

Please, God, let’s play the Bucs……our hardest matchup with them will be the refs

we’re not gonna give them gifts like Kamara going out of bounds before the 1st down marker and follow it up with by throwing in a 4th and 1 situation.

 

[plasticman]

That is the most likely terrifying scenario.

Yes, I understand all the ways in which the Cowboys are a stronger team than the Bucs......it doesn't matter.

Haven't Cowboy fans suffered enough to where they don't deserve to be Brady's "Swan Song", his last "Curtain Call", the GOAT's "Final Miracle"?

Not all is lost, however. The Cowboys can still get the division title, the Eagles have had some close calls. I could see them losing to the Giants on Sunday.

Also, five games is still a lot to play to end the season. Things could look entirely different by that time.

Todd Bowles vs Kellen Moore, we lose...the Bucs defense will throttle the Cowboys offense, especially with the Bucs at home.

So our only hope is Dan Quinn and the defense throttles Brady. That could and really, should, happen.

Special Teams could play a big role in that game, field position and FGs could be a huge factor.

The Cowboys would kill them in a rematch.

We are looking at a typical Dallas team. They can be world beaters in the regular season. Come the playoffs it seems like they would struggle against a decent high school football team. Until they can win a couple of games in the playoffs I have no more trust in this team then any of the others over the past 27 years....

It's all very simple. It will soon be, prove it time...I dont care how easy it may seem this year with the other teams having issues. I just want to see Dallas get past their own demons of learning how to win in the playoffs. I'm not holding my breath.....

It just seems like every playoff team except Dallas has that extra gear to turn it up when it really counts.

 

[BleedSilverandBlue]

On the road -Down 2 starting cb and against stout run d. Which means dak gotta throw bunch. Not ideal matchup.

Dallas is going to send Brady straight back to the plastic surgeon in need of some clean up procedures after this team is through with him.

This is not the Dallas team that laid an egg on opening night and the wheels are coming off in Tampa. They are 5-6 for a reason.

 

[AtomicDog]

This team has to prove that.

I understand where you're coming from. But it's on Dak. Time to step up and overcome McCarthy, Jerry and 27 years of crap.

 

[Doomsday101]

I understand where you're coming from. But it's on Dak. Time to step up and overcome McCarthy, Jerry and 27 years of crap.

Dak has played well in in post season outside of the 9ers game last season. Fact is Dak could play a good game and Dallas still loses. It takes a team, defense must play to the level they are showing now? did they do not last season in playoffs? No. You get to the post season and facing other top teams you best have your team playing top ball. That includes Dak but football is more than a 1 man game, always has been always will be.

As for McCarthy I don't share that at all Mike has been a SB winning coach and has helped get his team in post season every year. In Dallas this is his 3rd season and Dallas looks to be going to back to back playoffs something this team has not done in around 20 years. and this team does not have to concern themselves with 27 years of anything, hell most were not born yet. They need to focus on the here and now and deal with what they can control

 

[Vtwin]

The way to beat Brady has always been pressure.

You guys should be licking your chops at the opportunity to play Brady in the PO's. I can't wait to end his streak against the Cowboys.

 

[Aven8]

Better than playing at SF

All very good points and i can't argue with them. I worry more about Dak than i do about the rest of the team. I'm going to be illogical and just focus on the fact that Dak needs to step up to another level for the cowboys to go to the Superbowl this year.

 

[StarLord]

Awesome. We get 1 last chance to beat Tom.. in the playoffs. Show you're a winner boys!

 

[Pentagruel]

They could lose of course, but I don’t see any reason to be unduly worried. The cowboys simply have an excellent team this year with fewer flaws than the bucs do. These are the kind of games they will have to win pretty handily if they want to compete against the very top teams and I think they are capable of doing so.

 

[CB0711]

I’ve not seen anyone mention this, but it seems to me that Dak has apprehension against some teams that have a perceived edge….last year with the 49ers, this year with the Bucs and Packers, even with the Colts it seemed he started off scared (Colts have a good D). Maybe it’s because he lost his left tackle at the beginning of the season, but I just feel like he has played scared to start off some games. And I like Dak, I am not a basher! They need to him a sports psychologist or something.

 

[TheHerd]

I'm not looking at history. That's in the past. I'm looking at right now. Don't care about what happened last year or whatever. Last year is last year/the past is the past.

You have to look at the past to prepare for the future. When the Boys game plan, they look at the past. The team we'll have to beat scored 14 points in the last 5 minutes of the game last night while stuffing the opposition. And the comeback was no fluke, as that QB has had more of those comebacks than any player in the history of the league. Ignore that past at your peril. If the game is within 7 in the last 5 minutes, I'd be shocked if we win.
