Maybe we are not as bad as we thought.

It sucks losing... ever, under any circumstance.

Going 9-7 is so far from acceptable it isn't even funny.

All that said this 9-7 looks a whole lot better after today's games.
2 of the teams who beat us won going away.

If you are keeping score at home that means Dallas faced 7 games against teams who made it week 2 of the NFL playoffs.

Out of a 16 week schedule that is flatly ridiculous.

How does it look better?

I watch a Vikings team WITHOUT A QUARTERBACK score more points than we did last week.

The Cowboys will play a 3rd place schedule next year. Shore up the team in the draft and in free agency and they will make a run...UNTIL DECEMBER.

we're a pretty bad football team for all of the "talent" we have.

We have no heart or desire and that is a direct reflection of our HC.

I didn't watch any games today, especially the Eagles.

Can someone tell me how the Eagles got out of bed last week and had 1 divisional win, and now, they are in the divisioinal round?

Dallas put the Eagles in the playoffs when they blew the Arizona and Pittsburgh games. Losing to the Ravens at home, not taking the Commanders serious the first time around, and getting drilled by the Rams was unreal.

What does a QB have to do with Adrian Peterson breaking 40 yard TD runs??? How mnay would Minny have scored if it was on its 3rd RB?

That QB they don't have tossing an INT returned for a TD was why they had no real shot at winning but the Vikes have a solid team other than at QB and weren't really close.

It is more than slightly possible the final 4 will be Pitt, Balt, Giants, Eagles.

Does it mean we didn't underachieve and didn't suck when it counted? No.
Does it mean we faced a gauntlet greater than even we realized? Yes.

Exactly. We're every bit as bad as we thought.

After watching the Vikings game, we have serious problems. I was in denial before, and I'm trying to stay away from the "team has no heart" comments, but it was really clear that they don't.

No, the defeatist attitude involves crying and whining for months, blaming everyone for everything and never looking at what happened other then through a cloud of tears.

The time for hissy fits has passed.
It is time to put on our big boy pants and go to work towards next season.

After a win, we're never as good as most people think we are, and after a loss, we're always worse than most people think we are.

Or something. ;)

This is a worthless post unless you are a player or coach on the team.

Go to work towards next season? Seriously?

3rd place schedule doesn't mean much these days. That only counts for two teams. Seahawks and Packers.

The Giants and Eagles played and almost identical schedule (14 out of 16 games the same).

They didnt whine about it and make excuses, they played ball.

THERE IS WINNING AND NOT WINNING......no excuses.

Right....because the excessively whiny 'we need to get rid of so and so' posts are super useful. They accomplish so much more.

They accomplish the same as these excuse making posts.
