I just don’t believe we are smart enough to beat the Bucs

This team is just stupid

let’s get that out of the way. It has moments of being flat out stupid.

-Our OC abandons the run when it seems to be working

-Our Qb turns over the ball in his own territory frequently

-we have an erratic secondary


I honestly believe this is the worst matchup in the playoffs for us

Yes. While I agree with everything you said, I also hope this is the only kind of talk we hear from the media and any and everyone. As that is the only way I see Dallas ever making a run. And that is to have doubters and naysayers the entire way up to and including the super bowl

This team sucks when they get full of themselves. And it does NOT take much for that to happen. The egos get bloated and that’s ultimately always Dallas’ downfall

Brady will dink and dunk us to death and then hit a 50yd bomb over boss man..lol..I'm partly kidding.

TB is not a good team, and this year, Tom Brady has been a very average QB, sometimes worse.
Yes, they are capable of beating us because they have a good defense with two very good LBs, but if they beat us, we just aren’t very good, coaches and players. If our defense can’t pressure Brady behind that poor OL, that’s on us.

The only thing ‘stupid’ about this team is the alarming number of fans who fit the bill.

Tampa Bay is a great matchup for us, maybe the best matchup we could possibly hope for in the WC round.

I'll take that bet!

And this is coaching.

Do we really believe Moore will outcoach Todd Bowles?

And do we really believe Quinn has a good chance of outsmarting Brady??

Special teams (they need a blocked punt and/or a punt return for a TD) and both the OL and DL will have to have MASSIVE games for the Cowboys to have a decent chance.

If it comes down to coaching, I just don't feel confident enough...not given the Cowboys recent history when the lights shine bright in January.

Of course they can win, but I agree that smarts is an advantage and the Bucs clearly have the advantage over the Cowboys. Just not for the reasons you mentioned. Moore has some ridiculous moments, but the biggest concern is the situational awareness of the coaches and QB. It hurt us in the playoff game last year, and it hurt us against the Jags this year. When the going gets tough I certainly helps to not make stupid mistakes.

Yeah, I have a hard time believing until I see this organization start having some success in the post season. Heck, try for some consistent success period.

I agree.

The three teams that worry me are the 9ers, Bucs and Iggles, if Hurt is healthy.

I get it ! It’s easier for some of you to speak the negativity because I guess it’s easier for you to accept it if it does happen

I won’t berate you as crappy fans especially since I’ve gotten to the point where it’s just not that serious and win or lose I put it behind me rather quickly

that said why watch? Why analyze? Especially when most of your analysis is wrong and individual focused

we are the better team and we should win no matter who we play in first round. Unless it was the niners they are better.

we are a flawed team without a doubt but this years nfc is flawed up and down the league

This Super Bowl or bust mentality some of you carry is just stupid imo enjoy the ride. Why you feel that constant negativity on a message board is the solution is beyond me but carry on

Pretty harsh but accurate as hell yet but you see other teams play better against them. Brady will carve this defense up

 

[Coogiguy03]

How did you like that Tampa punt in the 4th quarter?

How did you like them beating us twice!

 

[csirl]

I like the TB match-up. They're not a solid team - and their record shows it. We wont be faced with extreme cold weather, which suits us.

Sundays game at home to Carolina shows that a team with a losing record can go toe to toe with them at home. It also shows us that all they have is the ability to pull off some spectacular big plays through the air. Concentrate on stopping the big play thru the air and we win this game.

 

[noshame]

This is where it has to do with the head coach, having the entire team prepared to play a football game. which Mike McCarthy along with many other coaches can't seem to get a handle on.
There's no room for inconsistency in the playoffs you've gotta be ready every game, every phase.

 

[Mannix]

At Tampa, at Philadelphia, at San Francisco. That's most likely our path. If Dallas beats those three teams in succession, that would be the toughest road to the SB they have ever had. And the way they've been playing since Minnesota.......

And can’t help thinking what our path would be had Noah Brown been cut years ago, and a more proven #3 been in the lineup….like Cedric Wilson.

His gaff against Jacksonville aside he was critical in the 4 wins with our back up

I am not a big Noah brown guy but his value to the team this year and years past has not gone unnoticed by coaching staff

If we are going to lose I Rather lose to Brady than Daniel Jones!

 

[shabazz]

Brady will target Diggs with double move plays and exploit the rest of our corners inexperience and weaknesses. Only a mad pass rush can negate this and do we trust Demarcus Lawrence to be a difference maker?……I sure as hell don’t see it

Tampa is 8-8, so it doesn't exactly seem like they are doing everything right.

I believe that people that can only fathom a single possibility should not accuse others of being stupid.
