The worm will turn back in our favor beginning Sunday.

We will play our best game of the season vs Detroit, we will rest starters and still destroy Washington to close the season @ 12-5

There is nothing left for the Cowboys to fight for EXCEPT respect. I'd like to think they've seen & heard enough. It's time to play angry.

I think they will and surprise everyone with a nice post-season run.
You’ll be wrong on both. Even if we play well against Detroit I don’t see a blowout. It could end up being similar to the Seattle game. The Lions have only been blown out once vs the Ravens. As for Washington if we lollygag against them with our backups, they’re likely to beat us soundly like they did last year in Washington on the road. That beat down was against our starters. They would love to spoil whatever chance we have of a division title or home playoff game.

We weren't perfect, for a variety of reasons, but your premise is that Dak can't play well without Smith. But the Miami game kind of disproves that theory as Dak didnt play poorly at all, he actually played decently, if not well. Certainly, he wasn't great.

The point being that basically saying Dak can't play well or shouldn't be expected to play well in the postseason if he doesn't have Tyron Smith is just excuse making from the Dak homers. And then trying to use the Miami game as proof is kind of laughable. He was fine in that game without his LT. One bizarre fumble away from likely scoring 27 points, which is a pretty good showing for the offense.
Can't play well enough to win against a good team. Edoga performance was so bad some people thought he did it on purpose.

Lions are a tough team. I don't think it will be a blow out against them either but it won't hurt my feelings if I am wrong. I hope we can slow down their running game and pressure QB Jared Goff into erratically passing the ball.

I hope the team does not fool themselves into believing since they are at home, it will be a win.
They must come out and play with some urgency.

Win this game, put the pressure on Philly, then hope that pressure makes them implode.

If Tyron is out for the playoffs. Our season is over, but half of you will still blame it on Dak.
Rogers won the sb with 5 guards starting,joe borrow nearly won the sb with possibly the worst line that season,I could go on... this Tyron excuse is getting old.great players can overcome,time for dak to do the same.

Maybe that is because their GM understand a depth. Any comparison prior to Salary Cap is invalid.

Regardless we still have to beat the Niners in SF.

Their gm understands depth?...the packers had no depth,they literally had 5 guards starting,and all the depth the Bengals had almost got borrow killed,yet still almost won the sb... point is they have QBs who overcame adversity.. people need to stop making the Tyron excuse and dak need to be held accountable.

I just hope Detroit takes this as a game they don't need to win, and play's like it because they've certainly been playing better than us, and I'm not so sure we'll beat them. That's a drastic change in my opinion, and just a few weeks.

There will be no positive threads here, the pitchfork/torch gang is on high alert at all times....
