If Dallas Wins in Tampa will you admit you were wrong?

[Grenic]

I want to be wrong, but the Cowboys don't look like a competitive opponent for an NFL playoff team.

Or any team for that matter

By some remote chance, should Dallas win in Tampa, are all of you who are loudly proclaiming a “No Contest”, going to come back here and say you were wrong?

I don’t know what will happen with a fraction of the certainty that you game-masters do .. so, I don’t say.

But, I don’t look as much like an idiot as many either ..

NO, The cowboys could win against Tampa ( they could also get blown out ). The cowboys are inconsistent. They can look great one week and really bad the next. They could win, but they arent going very far after that.

 

[SlingBoy]

Nope because winning a Wild Card game doesn't mean a lot in the big picture. Do something to make us feel different than we have in the last 27 years then we'll talk.

Brady is going to treat this club like it was his ex-wife!

I'm just curious if everybody saying "another one and done" are going to forfeit watching the playoff game? Since, well, they already know the outcome.

It’s a new season it’s win or go home. Elevate your play, limit your mistakes and anything can happen. They can play with anyone and beat them when they’re on but they can also crap the stick. I’ll watch and hope for the best it’s all I can do.

What difference does it make, we won our SB on xmass eve. Can't we just bask in the glow of our phenominal achievement?

This is an example of being intentionally obtuse.

 

[diamonddelts]

no, regardless of whether they win or not in Tampa, they should not have presented a worthless performance like they did today.

also I am not looking for just one playoff win. they need to get to championship to impress me.

You are setting yourself up for disappointment

 

[Boysdaboys]

Winning a WC game against a bad team won't impress me.

Being competitive in an NFC title game would impress me.

Have not made the NFC title game in 27 years.

 

[Boysdaboys]

No, what will that win prove?

It will prove that they can beat a below .500 team on the road. So not much.

Win the NFC Divisional game? That will prove something imo.

I think anyone would admit they are wrong. I think that most of us know better.

I have not read through all the posts yet, but I seen where TB Center left the game today with a hamstring issue. And did not sound good.

 

[khiladi]

If Dallas loses to Tampa, they need to blow this whole thing up period. They won 12 games and Tampa 8, meaning on paper they are a far better team.

 

[Frosty]

If the Cowboys win in Tampa next week, I’ll be very surprised if not shocked. They haven’t looked good the past month and today was the worst game I can remember them having heading into the playoffs. Don’t know how they’re going to be able to bounce back from this dreadful performance and win a playoff game on the road against Tom Brady.

Man I no the Cowboys haven't looked the best,.....but neither has Brady and TB.......I fully expect MM, KM and DAK to come out with a total different look on offense.....MM will have them ready for TB....Im more worried about the TB's run game versus the Cowboys defense.....we need the offense to put up 35pts to win...

 

[Jayinem]

NFC Championship game, or at least beat Tampa + play well in losing Division game. No turnovers and I will formally apologize.

Good luck with all that happening.

With how some people hype up Dak I should say Super Bowl win or bust.

 

[Rockport]

No one will need to do that

You wouldn’t regardless.

 

[Rockport]

Dallas could win next week
But this performance gives me little confidence

Keep the faith. They can do it.

Wrong about what what? After 27 years it isnt the doubters that need to save face. Fourth playoff win in that time span wont change that.

 

[Gangsta Spanksta]

I will never say that it is no contest, If that was the case teams would just forfeit the games.
With that said if anyone thinks we win this game easily that they are delusional

To say that today's game didn't lowered my expectations significantly would be a lie. Add onto that the cowboys playoff history, where you can't even say recent playoff history anymore because it has been so long, it would be foolish not to factor that in. Right or Wrong, I believe teams that do good in the playoffs generally come in hot at the end of the regular season, something we haven't seen from the cowboys since the 90's. It is not like the cowboys are dominating anyone, where each game seams like a forgone conclusion of a win. We've seen other teams kick it into another gear at the end of the season and then roll hot into the playoffs. Can anyone honestly say that the Cowboys have switched that switch? If you haven't seen the cowboys kick it up a notch, and instead see them going into the the playoff flat, like you have seen them do so before for a long time, why would anyone expect different results? That is a view based on logic. Now that doesn't mean come gametime, I throw logic out of the window, think positive and change my mindset into thinking they are going to win to try to enjoy the game. This Cowboys team doesn't seem different than previous cowboys teams. They can do great in the regular season, but the team lacks leadership on and off the field to get them to play proper playoff football. The talent isn't why we don't do good in the playoffs, its a lack of leadership and the Team having the wrong culture, and I haven't seen any evidence that, that has changed.
