My Analysis of Playoff Opponents

[Clove]

I don't know, but you could ask the Giants.

They won a tough game at their home field under bad conditions in which their own QB nearly lost it, so I get it. The first game Dak was very inexperienced and had some missed drops and unfortunate events to led to the loss. I don't know that asking Giants is the key here, but they did win.

I'm sure Tampa wished they could've done what the Giants did.

That is precisely why I fear them the least. I'm more concerned about the Packers getting hot. I also don't trust Matt Ryan and the Falcons to get past the Wild Card round.

"Matty Ice" is not nearly as clutch as he is portrayed.

 

[csirl]

No fear of Atlanta.

I think the Giants will win their wildcard round. I hope they lose to Seattle in the divisional round as they are the only team that would come to Dallas thinking they can win.

 

[MRV52]

This mentality by some fans is all wrong. The rest of the teams should fear us not the other way around.

We haven't been to a NFC Champ game in 20 years. Of course I have fear

 

[CapnCook]

More often than not, the Giants with Eli are one and done in the playoffs. Eli doesn't find a way to do much of anything except look confused most of the time.

His face stuck that way when he was a kid.

It's not fair really. I mean we were all warned that making faces could lead to that, but what if the face maker just can't help it. Poor Eli.

Young fan hey?

 

[drawandstrike]

Most Feared is Seattle by far; Michael Bennett will line up on Doug free and wreck havoc on us; Pete hS never lost to a rookie QB. DangerRuss is extremely hard to contain. Fright Meter 10 out of 10.
2. The Giants- they know how to stop our run game and Eli manning always finds a way to win in the playoffs. Fright Meter 9 out 10
3. Atlanta Falcons- best offense in football by a country mile, Julio Jones has been unstoppable this year.
Fright Meter 7 out of 10

I'm finally getting to watch the Packers dismantling of the Seahawks from Dec. 11. Wow. That is a completely different defense with Earl Thomas out.

Young fan hey?

This team has had been awful in the playoffs since the triplets left

 

[maxdallasfan]

My analysis: The whole league is garbage. The 1993 team would have ran circles around teams today.

 

[Risen Star]

Scared fans are fake fans.

Well then color me fraudulent.

I fear a 12-4 wild card team. Both the Cowboys if they drop these last two, how much would that suck after such a great season, and the Giants if they don't. They have our number.

I have to agree with Randy Moss. You just can't expect the Cowboys to make a run in the postseason with a rookie QB. At the end of the day that's a hurdle I can't clear in my mind. I have to take any other QB in the playoffs over ours.

 

[Scotman]

I'm of the firm belief that if we coach and play any where near our capabilities, we have no one to fear.

You don't need to keep checking under the bed for a monster. We are the monster under the bed.

My brain agrees. My heart wants to believe.

I see what you're saying but this isn't just some ordinary rookie on a good team. Dak has been phenomenal and has played like a vet and even better than a lot of vets all year. He has a tremendous Oline, RB, WR (Sometimes) and TE. Our defense is starting to play better as well. With that said, most of these playoff teams are very close in skill, so nothing would surprise me to be honest. I like that we get a first round bye and are playing at home though. I don't see us being the underdog in any of the playoff games either.

The coaching part is what you need to fear.

Hold off on the 1st round bye. That is far from decided. We could be a 12-4 wild card team.

 

[flosho]

Green Bay scares me. Mostly because they are hot again and I'll never hear the end of it if GB beats us in the playoffs after the extraordinary season we've had.

 

[Beast_from_East]

If we don't turn the ball over and don't kill ourselves with penalties, it is going to be very hard for a team to come into JerryDome and beat us. Now the opposite is also true, if we turn the ball over and negate TD plays because somebody holds, then we can and will get beat by just about any of the playoff teams.

So lets see what happens.......

Notice you said "This team has been awful in the playoffs". This team is the 2016 Cowboys, what happened last year or the last 20 years you can just throw that out the window.
