Let the past go

[Ranching]

We all have one, this is a new year. I'll let it play out before I give my opinions. I know many won't agree, but the negativity is getting really old!

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

I have but history just keeps repeating itself with this team the past 27 years…

..haha.. Ranch, that's called getting older. You get better at it with age. I'm always working on it.. ..

 

[Jipper]

Agreed....we should all be savoring this week...this is what the whole season has been building for.

We are as healthy as we could be sand the guys lost for the season and we have potential to get to a winnable divisional game against the eagles...

Those that don't learn from the past are bound to repeat the mistakes of the past.
The past is a part of who this franchise is.
Both the good and the bad.
Hoping for the best btw.

So is your lack of self awareness.

Like every time we make the postseason, I feel physically sick - and will until the game plays out.

I just want to taste success for a change.

History is just that an event that has already taken place and can't be altered.

Past? I thought we were all complaining about the current team,,, which just happens to look like last year's team.

No prob with this. Let the game be what it is. We can disagree how it will go and although I’ve been critical of their inconsistency, I voted that the Cowboys will win by more than 4 because I recognize the dual identity syndrome they have.

I can literally make a case for them winning, losing or tying( that’s for Donavon McNabb)

when the game is over we will have plenty of time to debate…….but I think we are going to be pleased this week………and yes, I want Dak to have the best play-off game of his career!

If this team comes out flat and plays like they did against the 49ers last year, you need to seriously think about making major changes. And those changes should start with coaching and the QB position.

The NFC is as weak as ever. The betting favorite is starting Mr irrelevant at QB. Hurts is banged up. The rest of the teams are not a threat at all.

The best predictor for future behavior is past behavior...for the most part. I think this is definitely applicable in sports as well. If I am being truly honest, I have definite concerns about this Dallas team heading into the playoff. Having said all of that, I think Quinn, Moore and McCarthy will have a good game plan. I am excited to watch the game and hopefully they get the monkey off their back and send Brady packing. Unfortunately, some fans will choose to be negative just so they can so "I told you so" if it doesn't go well.

I agree that if the Cowboys come out flat again then something needs to change. I don't know how players at this level cannot be pumped for the playoffs, but there is some loser in those that can't. This is one reason I like drafting kids from winning college programs. If they get pumped for big games in college they will bring the same thing to the pros. It only takes a few guys to jack up the rest of the team. You don't know how kids from losing programs will react to winning.

The second point about the NFC being weak. I don't know about that. I am sure they are looking at the Cowboys after the throttling they took from Washington and thinking the same thing.

Learn from it is great, but in this case, what can you do about? Enjoy the moment.....all I'm saying, why be miserable and negative......will it help?

Sooooooo, like how far back we talking here? A few games or 27 years? Asking for a friend

Shut the heck up? You don't know me!

 

[big dog cowboy]

Dallas Cowboys in the playoffs yet again. Different outcome? Same result? My feeling:
