I think they're just going off of our offensive struggles the past few games. I don't see why it's so far fetched to think we struggle against the bucs defense too.

For the second time this season, I don't feel confident with coming away with a W.

Good. Didn't the Boys play better when nobody had faith in them throughout the beginning of the season? I hope everybody picks against them. Fuel for the fire anyway.

I feel the same as I did against the Giants....

Very good chance they lose this game

11 wins in a row and we drop one game and suddenly we have lots of problems?

If we didn't make the playoffs already they'd say we weren't making it lol both our losses were a combined 4 points. Make it like the sky is falling.

Our defense has looked better and better over the last few weeks.

I'm actually encouraged by our team even though they lost.

We just got in a situation where our QB and offensive coordinator didn't have an answer. They need to figure it out.

When you press us and blitz us we have to have an answer.

Don't be blinded by the wins. My Texas Rangers were western division champs but I could see the flaws and Issues with the team all season. Guess what? my eyes were correct and they were one and done in the playoffs. Just like the wild card Giants and who won it all against the patriots and who were undefeated. Don't let the wins blind you from seeing reality

This is generally one of those games where we put up 38 and can do no wrong. I hope so. 5 game winning streak or not folks, this is Tampa!! Shut the NFL up and let them know who's boss again!

There has been a notable drop off in the efficiency of Dallas offense over the last few games. If you dont admit that, its still there. Not saying we suck, but something has changed. whether its the league has figured out how to befuddle Dak, or the game plan is too simplified and the league has figured out how to stop it, I dont know what changed. But since the pit game, we are not the same team. The D is a bend but dont break D that relies on the O scoring points to allow them room for error.

Not saying we suck, cause we dont, but we are not playing at the high level the O was used to through the first 10 games or so. Till that is corrected I dont see a problem with people doubting us. I am leary of the games at times now as well. I cant say with total confidence that we will destroy Tampa Bay, I am not sure we would destroy Cleveland if we played them this week. (pretty sure we would win, but it could be a close and ugly game).

I think Dallas will win this week but I would not bet money on it as I would have mid season when we were the toast of the league. Either we have regressed (dont see how) or the league has figured out how to confuse Dak and slow Zeke to the point he cant do it all. I personally think we need a heavy and good pass rush to make the D stout and be able to carry this offense right now. That aint going to happen at this point in the year so we have to fly by the seat of our pants and pray that Dak returns to mid season form......(gulp) or put in Romo for a spark?

Well in fairness, the offense has looked out of sync for two weeks and was putrid against the Giants. Now is the sky falling? Of course not. But denying there are some real issues here is silly.

Definitely need to be on our A game for this one. If we execute, and Linehan and Garrett have adjusted from the past couple team performances, I like our chances. It's still gonna be a tough win.

Can't wait till we get Mo back!

Last night forecasting W/L of the remaining wild card chase. Without hesitation, both guys put a W next to the Tampa/Dallas game for the Bucs.

Noting: With all the problems Dallas is having right now....

What are ALL the problems?

17 total offensive points in two weeks is a problem, I don't care who you play. This is supposed to be the best offense in football, and that looked hideous. The last two games are what playoff games are like.
