Losing 6 out of the last 7 will usually prompt such a question.
Obviously the point was that it always is about the team we beat's deficiencies, never about us playing well.
"If Dallas beats the Falcons, they'll prove they can play with the big boys..."
We spank them and then it's "Well, Atlanta's not what we thought they were..."
The same thing happened with Philly.
"If Romo and Dallas can go into Philadelphia and beat this Eagles team that ended their season last year, then maybe this team is better than we thought. But it's a big game so we know what happens to Dallas in those games.."
We win and they are questioning Philadelphia, the coach and the refs. Did anybody see Dallas make the big play to Austin and run the clock out at the end? Apparently not...
This game will not make or break Dallas' season but, if they lose, the media will make it out like Dallas just got eliminated from playoff contention despite still being in 1st place.
