I finally figured out why this doesn't shock me

[Vintage]

Because we're Cowboy fans? So this no longer shocks us?

Maybe it helped having that extra week and playing at home? Just a thought.

Didn't help in 2007. Home field advantage means nothing if you get out game planned, out coached, out played, and you choke.

Could be that we lost a game where the other team executed better and just outplayed us. This eventually happens to every team except the one that wins the Superbowl.

As stated in the OP. However, you could sense it in the way the first 2 drives ended, missed FG, etc. that Dallas lacks a cold blooded killer instinct. I though it was there the last 2 weeks, but it was because we scored early and got a lead.



I just don't see it happen to other "Elite" teams as often as it does Dallas.

Could be that I pay more attention to Dallas, could be that dallas is not an elite 2-4 team.

It looked like they were in NO...but that was due to a early lead. We do not know how to play from behind
