I am running with the Win/Loss theme as a Sig

got ya..

I surely dont "expect" us to win but I know we are more then capable of beating the Eagles on any field. Should be fun.

I have no doubt whatsoever that - physically - the cowboys are more than capable of beating the Eagles.

I'm not concerned with the actual talent level - again, physically - of the team. I'm concerned with their attitudes, or more specifically their testicular fortitude when it comes to having to win a game in december at the linc in order to make the playoffs. I just don't see the team being able to muster up the necessary "Fire" (for lack of a better word) to get it done.


I'm not saying the eagles are "all that". They aren't. If they were they would have beat the lowly Commanders today. I just think the cowboys are soft. I don't see how anyone can believe otherwise. I'm not saying you should not HOPE they win (as I said before, I do HOPE the cowboys win) I'm just talking about looking at it realistically.

we will get out played and out coached once again, and miss the playoffs, sorry but that's what i see coming

 

[fanfromvirginia]

So basically we are due?

This is a playoff game. Eventually we will win one. This could be the one.

Philly's defense doesn't rank with the last 3 we've seen. I think we'll run the ball well against them, and we'll hit some huge plays in their secondary. We'll sack McNabb at least 4 times and chase him from the pocket all game long. We have a defense that is playing its best in many a year. Philly will have no running game, and that plays right into our hands on a cold day in Philly.

Even in Philly, this game will be a lopsided win for the Cowboys.

Dallas 30
Philly 16

2005: Lose final game to lowly Rams at home

2006: Lose Final game to lowly Lions at home

2007: Get blown out in final game against Washington

2008: We go to Philadelphia with them still having something to play for

The pressure will higher than in any late season game in the past 3 years and we have had such a horrible track record in games like this late in the season.

1) The Cowboys play better on the road.
2) They usually bounce back from a tough loss.
3) I want them to.

30 point from shotgun draws over and over? wow!

My pessimism is somewhat modified. I don't see them doing it twice in a row. So they might pull off the Philly game but blow the wildcard game.

They've put together some pretty good games since starting 5-4 and getting Romo back. Beating the Commanders on the road was a big, necessary game and they did it. Same for the Giants at home.

Just be grateful we have something to play for next week

 

[AdamJT13]

Like I said, I fully expect us to CHOKE again this sunday

"Fully"?

Or, truthfully, do you have some expectation that we WON'T choke and we'll win?

Sounds like it's the latter to me.

Did you hurt yourself over analyzing a simple sentence?


Merry Christmas, Adam.

Biggest LOSER on this board. You're a JOKE of a fan. Please please go pull for another team, your constant negativity is so sickening.. Take a hike!!!!

 

[Slashar00]

The only thing that gives me hope is that the Eagles needed a big win today versus a 7-7 team and their offense SUUUUUUCKED.

Just trying to talk you down from the ledge, Rack.

You know you're not convinced that we're going to lose, or you wouldn't have reacted that way to my suggestion. And that's exactly why I posted it.

[Joe Realist]

Not feeling confident. It's in Philly, Romo's late season play and host of other things. I will root for them, but I do not expect that they will win.

 

[5Countem5]

I expect them to win...

I fact, I know they will win.

Maybe I'm not convinced we'll lose, but I am convinced that if it's close in the 4th quarter, and we need our defense to make a stop... they won't do it.

 

[mmohican29]

if we play like we can for four quarters we will win... EVERY GAME.
it's time for this team to demand a complete performance from itself and accept nothing less than it's best effort. if we do not give that effort, and we lose- than so be it and Romo and the rest of the Underachievers can stew on their failures another full offseason, and listen to the nay sayers say nay over and over and over again.
