Take it for what it's worth but...

When I played football when I got up on game day I would get a feeling for the way things would go in the game. Sometimes I would be apprehensive, sometimes I would be worried and sometimes I would be nervous as a cat.

But there were times when I would get up and would be so calm and at peace that the game would go well. Same thing when I coached and even so as a fan with the Cowboys. Those are the games that we won and fairly easily.

All year long I have been apprehensive before a game but always confident they would at least battle to the end.

This morning I got up and I am so at peace with this game today. I don't know what it is but I really feel we have this one. Just something about it.

Go Cowboys!

Hope you are right, I don't know if I could handle another heartbreaker.

 

[ilykdrama]

I definitely get it. I think it's how he team has "stuck around" this year, win or lose. Different team
Not to say I think they're GREAT this year... Games like these are the ones the Cowboys usually are unprepared and overhyped about. I think it's different this year. I have a feeling the Cowboys ACTUALLY may be tired of losing games like this. I know the fans are. I expect their best effort and to steal tjr one that matters from the Skins at home to erase our Thanksgiving day loss.

I feel calm too. I think I'll be at peace whatever the outcome.

With that said, I hope they beat the deadskins.

Actually, I can understand this. I am not as apprehensive as usual either. Kind of calm. I'm not sure if it's I think we will play good, and win, or if I'm like, well here we go again, so if we lose, it's not unusual.

But when the game starts, I know i'll be like...crap..we must win....
I am confident the offense will play well, but not so much with the defense. But have a wait and see, surprise me attitude.

 

[dools]

My buddy had similar sentiments last game haha. I envy your mood leading up to the game!

 

[CATCH17]

I'm calm with no confidence.. I think it's just me keeping my emotions in check.

 

[Tusan_Homichi]

Man, I hope so. I can't tell you how excited I'd be if we made the playoffs and at least had a puncher's chance.

 

[Cowboys22]

Many of us are feeling the same exact way and there is a simple explanation for this. The Cowboys were not supposed to be in this position, especially after all the injuries and the mid-season losing streak. The Cowboys are the underdog but have a legitimate chance to win. That is what creates the calming feeling about the game. In previous situations, they were the favorites with a great chance to lose.

 

[Soth]

I don't feel calm at all.

Our defense is too banged up to stop RGIII and company. Our offense tends to start slow, so we may end up being behind by half-time.

If we are tied or maybe within 3 points of the Commanders by half-time, I will feel better.

Our offense needs to start fast this game. We need to establish a run game and control the clock. If we do this, we can win.

I know exactly what you mean. Tracking some of the players gameday tweets/yesterday's tweets they seem hungry and ready. I can't even describe how excited I am for kickoff

could you at least try to describe?

 

[camelboy]

I am at peace but this feeling coming from acknowledging that injuries on D are finally catching up with us...

It's like a group of soldiers going through different battles and NOW the General himself is down (i.e. Ware) and I know they will still put a great fight...

Their bravery and professionalism will not and should not go unnoticed and maybe that's what brings peace to me in the inside....

Strange things happen and other unit might show up (i.e. Offense) but the D should be applauded for the fight they've shown so far...

Actually, I think we've got a better shot here against the Skins than we did last year in NY, for sure, or back in 2008 v. Philly. Both of those games felt like buzzsaws, going in.

 

[Manwiththeplan]

I feel better than I did last year vs the Giants, and to be honest, I was suprised at how close the score was (although the Giants were in control most of the game).

But I still think we lose. Too many inured starters on defense to stop them when it matters.

Please PM me the next winning powerball numbers. Thanks.

On a serious note, this thread made me smile. Looking forward to tonight.

Nope my mood is out of control sometimes I get really confident and excited about the game then the next minute I could be cowering and my head starts hurting. I should probably eat something
