I like them going into the postseason this way.

Don't get me wrong. I'd rather be the dominant favorite to win it all but knowing how flawed this team is I'd rather them go in after getting embarrassed. Let's see them humbled and a little angry.

If they're ever going to beat the Bucs it'll be with this mindset rather than their usual overconfident, content, superstar attitude.

Problem is, this is the kind of team that will think victory is assured precisely because they're going to have this attitude. They're going to tell themselves this same story so many times that they're STILL going to come into this thinking they're too good to lose.

I am not happy with the way they played, but given how this team has failed in the post-season for so long, they don't need swagger, they need desperation and fear-of-losing mindsets.

Feel-good wins going into the playoffs have not helped this team in over 20 years, a reality check is probably the best thing for them.

Personally, I think they took a good long look at playoff scenarios.... and tanked this one.

Yup! McCarthy has always had this team ready to play after a loss. The Cowboys bounce back with the best of them.

The film study of this loss starts tonight on the bus, tonight on the plane. The coaching staff has to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it.

Then the preparation for Tampa can begin.

Cowboys lost on purpose today so we play the Eagles in the 2nd round. Dak is 10-1 against them!!!
