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...
Brady didn’t play the entire game today and only missed on four passes and had a TD. Tampa played two other QBs and rested a lot of starters. Today’s game against Atlanta was meaningless for them. They had two straight wins coming into today. The Cowboys played to win today because they had something riding on it and looked horrible! They were dominated by a non-playoff team that was starting a rookie QB in his first NFL start. Dak looked awful and continues to throw INTs every week. McCarthy should’ve had the team ready to play today. This was an embarrassing performance by the Cowboys on every level. I’ll be surprised if the game is close next week. Tampa should win by 2+ scores.

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
100% this. The Gnats twice in 15 years and the Egirls five years ago. You want to be peaking now, not flatlining.

Dak has picked up a new skill since coming back from injury. The art of throwing a pick six. I think we have way too much to overcome to get a win. And even if we do, we may get ran all over by Jalen hurts the week after.

Oh I def see them beating the Bucs. They generally bounce back strong after a poor showing.

Jerry has truly brainwashed some of you into being happy with simply making the playoffs and possibly winning one game. The OP here asks if we’ll own up to being “wrong”, as if beating the Bucs in the Wild Card round is something special

I want a damn Super Bowl.

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 ..
At the end of the day, we're all making predictions. I don't feel the need to go, "Na na, knee, boo, boo. You were wrong in your prediction."
Some of you all get to serious about these predictions. Even if you were right, you were guessing as no one know for sure.

It was embarrassing that was fur sure....this game didnt matter for either TB or Dallas....you dont show you cards today....and you have to trust the Coaches know what they are doing.....this isn't MM's first Rodeo. As for TB....Brady has had what many claim as his most frustrating year in the NFL...TB has a 8-9 record for a reason...under 500...worst ever for TB12....IMO the biggest obstacle is Dallas has a losing record on grass fields they are 1-4 on grass this year.....hang in there KJJ.....its playoff time and its win or go home..... Cowboys will show up next week...Win I am not sure...but they will show up and play a good game.

No. I don't think they're going to win but I want them to get to an NFCCG and if they win nothing has changed they beat a bad TB team which they should beat. Win 2 playoff games and I'll admit I was wrong.

Is this "I Told You So" to skeptics so important to you, bloke?
Why?
Enjoy the game and quit relishing the possible schaedenfreud.

Again who cares if we win, were a better team. We are good enough to beat any team in the NFC, will we? Its the same story every time we make the playoffs. QB play and coaching need to be consistent to win it all. Without it were done.

I hate seeing our players and fanbase get excited over one playoff win. Its like we all. breath a sigh of relief. have the expectations really been lowered that much over the years.
A lot of people forget what championship football looks like. Beating an inferior playoff team is now what we're supposed to settle for.

This game did matter for the Cowboys, which is why they kept their starters in until almost the very end. Not sure if you’ve been following along, but had Philly lost and the Cowboys won they would have won the NFC East. Say what you will but this was an important game for the Cowboys but it turned into a debacle. I’m prepared for what’s coming next week. It’s certainly not impossible for the Cowboys to win but I don’t expect it. They weren’t playing that great coming into this game and after what we saw, I doubt many fans are feeling confident about next week.

Any given Sunday...who knows.

Regression to the mean...prognosticators ~66.667% correct ... ~33.333% wrong.

That s why they play the game.

Which is different then asking are the Cowboys legit or posers? Dunno. Ask me after the Super Bowl.

Go Cowboys!

This is the NFL. Anything can happen.
And Dak can make a few good throws and make bunch of stupid throws.
Just hope he doesn't throw an INT, that all you can ask for at this point.

I’ll be more than happy to admit I was wrong if the Cowboys win next week. It’s very difficult to envision them winning on the road against Tom Brady in a playoff game after what we saw today. Those of you who are pounding your chests that the Cowboys are going to prevail next week better take into account that 4 of the Cowboys 5 losses this season were on the road. The last time the Cowboys won a road playoff game was in the 92 NFC title game. They’ve been 0-8 in road playoff game since. If you don’t think any of that matters then dream on!
