We can as confident as we like but the Cowboys need to take this Jets team seriously. Classic trap game and one problem I’ve noticed with Cowboys teams since 2000 is they believe in their own hype because they are on the star. Can’t get arrogant and expect to run over the Jets here. This should be a team this Cowboys team beats handily. A loss here and it will be chalked up to attitude and lack of discipline. Destroy the Jets and show the nfl who the super contenders are!
It's not the Cowboys who buy into their hype, it's the fans.
Win a couple games and look good in the process and all the fans are crowing and talking about the Super Bowl. Then lose a game and everyone says, "oh, they read their own press clippings" or "they looked past them" or "they ate the cheese" when in fact it was the fans who were overreacting all along.
The Jets are perfectly capable of beating the Cowboys. I don't think they'd win 5 out of 10 times, but 2 or 3 out of 10? Sure. And if they do, it won't be because the Cowboys "believe in their own hype." It'll be because a good football team had a good day against another good football team.
