Have the Cowboys finally arrived?

[Diehardblues]

Is this the moment we have all been waiting for?

Are the Cowboys on the verge of finally breaking down the wall we have all been screaming about for the last 27 years playing in our first championship game since our last Super Bowl in 1995 season?

Cowboys currently have the longest streak since the 1970 merger with 6 straight divisional playoff losses .

Well if we keep up our new strategy of actually showing up to win, we should break that curse too

 

[Risen Star]

All of our dreams are coming true.

 

[Diehardblues]

Do we think this is finally the team?

More so than 2007 or 2014 which both came down to final moments in divisional round and best chances for Romo to break thru.

Prescott has had two opportunities in 2016 and 2018. 2016 probably best opportunity so far at home .

 

[Diehardblues]

Why is this year different ?

What makes us think , this is it?

 

[Diehardblues]

And why would we think we will go out and beat arguably the hottest team in the NFL who has won 11 straight games with the best defense in the league at their place?

We won a wild card playoff game against an 8 win team.

How much more evidence do you need?

 

[Diehardblues]

While I believe this team is capable I certainly don’t expect us to win in this situation.

I must admit I was more confident in 2007 and 2016 at home with best record and home field advantage. And in 2014 I as more confident in the road headed to Green Bay.

I’m not sure why fans are feeling more confident with this team , right now?

How did greenbay beat a 13-3 team with their secondary compiled with guys off the street?

Let's just hang on one minute....that's the attitude that makes our fanbase Bipolar Central.

Brilliant performance, from a superb gameplan to executing which was nearly flawless, but the issue isnt a one off performance, it's the ability to repeat it on a regular basis.

There's certainly hope, more so because we changed it up on both sides of the ball (loved the way Dak just went back to doing at what he's comfortable doing (Schultz and scrambles/planned QB sneaks).....but we are facing a team that's full of Cowboy (Running game) Kryptonite.

We can do it, but lets keep it real and in perspective.....(however, my opinion may change if beat the 9er's).

I agree. I can see the hope. And I can sense this team is capable . Not sure why we’d expect to win though.

Honestly...I have no idea
Monday's win didn't surprise me at all. We always play well after an ugly loss. I notice Parsons said after the game .....one down, three more to go. I do think having him, Peters and Ty Hilton in the locker room helps the younger guy stay focused on the big prize.

Plenty of arguments in both directions: Cowboys have disappointed/choked in the playoffs, particularly in the divisional weekend, so many times that it's hard for fans to accept that they still have just as good a chance of advancing this year as they ever did. But then they might just choke again.

On the other hand, while SF appears hot, they have also had a peach schedule and played a lot of soft teams. The strongest team they played all season was the Chiefs, and the Chiefs smoked them. Dallas played a much harder schedule, and also was rocked througout by multiple injuries.

This is why they play the games...

 

[Diehardblues]

Will this be the game that our QB validates himself more into an Elite category?

QB for SF is the only vulnerable position I see them with. And one in which we bring much more experience.

 

[Rayman70]

no. We haven't arrived. We did our jobs. Arriving will be winning this week at San Fran against all odds. Then I will agree.

Choke is a bad term here in this case. We been dealt a terrible hand this time. EVERYTHING is stacked against us. This is brand new territory for us. Usually, we are the favorite then we indeed choke. I think we play better as the underdog. I think we can stay close for a while but in the end I think we wear down and lose. We wont choke, even if we lose.

Agree. We CAN win but like u said, its unlikely. This is a terrible situation timing wise.

It’s our Laverne and Shirley moment!

If there’s a single shred of complacency in that building MM needs to squash it immediately, but I’m sure some entitled front office types with the right last name are strutting around as if its house money territory.

Exactly . And what I’m suggesting . Winning this Sunday will define we have arrived .

And why my title was a question not a statement.
