I am not worried about Tampa

[erod]

A team that wins 11straight doesn't take a second loss to the only team that handed them a L lightly. Not this team. Not the 2016 Cowboys.

It's not about getting "pumped up".

Dak has been solved. They'd better reinvent him this week.

I'm interested in seeing how the team responds to a loss.

I'm not concerned because I know our boys will come well prepped to battle. It's going to be a fun win.

They were prepped to battle last week, determined to avenge their only loss this season and ended up playing their worst game of the season. That's what's so concerning. It's not going to be much fun to watch if we continue to witness what we've seen the past two weeks on offense. Dak and our passing offense has to get back on track.

Dak has not been solved. Lol. You guys continue to chop that up here on the board and I will look forward to a spirited effort against Tampa.

Yep! Me too! They responded pretty well to their last loss.

They weren't prepped last week and if you couldn't see that I don't know how to convince you.

I expect Linehan will return to the offense that took us to the top and leave that garbage he has been putting on the field the last couple of weeks in the trash can.

If he does that, we win, if he does that , we're capable of beating anybody.

How could they not been prepped last week, all we heard was about avenging their only loss? Dak said he was much better now than he was on opening day and ended up having by far his worst game of the season. Everyone seemed ready to play but we're in an offensive funk and you could see it leading into the Giants game against Minn. If you're not prepped against a divisional opponent who handed you your only loss all season then something is wrong.

Dude their heads were swollen. Not every player but many key players had the big head (incl one fringe player we like to use on jet sweep).

I bet you they work twice as hard this week to prep for Tampa. Guaranteed.

Blue Star gives me hope for CZ...

Puhleese. If anything, Tampa should be worried about a juggernaut coming off of an embarrassment. Tampa likes to make it ugly & win uglier. We have developed strong experience in winning ugly games this year. Case in point.. Washington, Pittsburgh, Minnesota.

Tampa will not stop our run game. We will finally get back to what brought us 11 wins. That's solid pounding of the ball complimented by a creative passing game. I firmly believe getting smacked in the face will serve us well on the rest of our journey this year.

Oh & surprise surprise. Our defense is finally getting pressure up front and playing more inspired ball.

Tampa is a formidable opponent but the key is respecting their capabilities. We will win this one by at least 10.

This post contains too much optimism. You're getting flagged.

I tend to agree with you, Bleu (why the French spelling of your handle, BTW?)...I was chatting with a fellow fan yesterday and we likened this loss to the Washington game towards the end of the '92 season (the one where Jimmy was chewing everybody out during the plane ride home). Similarly, this was a tough loss that perhaps the team will be able to use as a teaching moment going forward. I will also state that our D appears to be coming together very nicely for the stretch run and might even become one that can carry us when we need it to during the playoffs once we get all the pieces back (i.e., Mo)...they looked very good against the Giants and could have been dominant had we secured a couple more picks that Eli was so happy to throw to us apparently.

Jimmy Johnson is not walking through that door.....

Well until then you sit there and eat that **** sandwich that was Dak Prescott last Sunday.

You do when you've peaked already. Not saying that we have but we've seen time and time again teams in this league peak in November and come to a screeching hault in December.

2 losses. Let it play out. Haven't seen a peak yet. Time to regroup is all and see where this year's Cowboys' team stands.

Nor should he.

With a side of Dez vomit?

And when we do and crap it back out on a silver platter. Feel free to grab a fork!

It's not their heads being swollen that's caused our 3rd down issues the past two games. If it's swollen heads that's caused the offensive issues we've been seeing, then complacency has set in and we're in deep trouble. You're kidding yourself if you think we overlooked the only team that's beaten us this season. If we were going to be ready for anyone this season it would have been the Giants. We have two red hot teams coming up and if we don't start getting our offense back on track we'll be looking at a repeat of the 07 season.

Alright man. You have it all figured out. I'm kidding myself. Talk to you Sunday night.
