The big picture is Dallas will be ok

[SoupcanSam]

When you think about the loses, who is to say the cowboys won't correct the mistakes and approach to certain teams before the playoffs?

I know some fans dont like the possibility of playing SF again, but that loss may be what was needed in order to get more intel, for a different approach, with a better chance to win.

DQ may slip up at times but i believe he has the potential to go into the playoff with a correction vs what happened in the regular season.

They could have also been keeping tabs on SF remaining games for more ideas of what they like to do vs other teams that we could see in the playoffs if that matchup happens.

Same could be done with philly and other possible teams we could face.

I also believe the offense will be more open in the playoffs. I felt in some of the games like Buffalo, the coaches didnt feel the need/importance to open the playbook in a game like that. I felt they where going to commit to getting by in that game showing less win or loss.

Had that been another NFC team then maybe a little more is shown.

I believe some things are going on that we do not understand. I am looking at things from an unconventional view. I believe the cowboys will go into the playoffs ready to compete.

What I do understand is this team can't stop the run

This team is showing you the same things the teams from the past 30 years have shown you.

They’re soft and they shrink when it matters. If you punch them in the mouth you will dominate them and they will do nothing about it but whine after their beating.

I suggest letting them prove to you they’re different instead of just expecting them to be different.

They’ve been punched in the mouth 3 times just this year. They didn’t learn from the first 2 times, so why would any rational person think anything at all will be different the next time it happens?

 

[VaqueroTD]

Too early to claim anything. Let's see how they do against Miami and Detroit and then we can talk some smack. If they lose one of those games, then I doubt we will win more than one game in the Playoffs again.

If we win out, and show we can fight the run, win away, and beat physical teams, IMO, only means we'll make it to wherever San Fran faces us on the tourney bracket.

or the pass

I had them penciled in for 11-12 wins at the beginning of the season. The losses sting, but they aren’t unexpected. They haven’t lost more than 1 in a row, while the 49ers and Eagles both have 3 game losing streaks. They’ve learned from their losses and moved on. That’s encouraging to me.

 

[Coogiguy03]

I'll let you know how ok we'll be after the 1st quarter!!

Or our 3 game loss streak is about to begin

this is fair, but also, I feel like seattle punched them in the mouth, tried to bully them etc and they didn't fold and bullied them right back.

Every year we hear that everything will be okay when cracks begin to show in December and every year we aren't.

 

[Kellsbells]

Every year we hear that everything will be okay when cracks begin to show in December and every year we aren't.

Well, we all have a choice to make.
We can:
A. Hope “this year will be different”
B. Stop watching or find a different team
C. Have a defeatist attitude and tell everyone online “I told you so” if they lose
D. Keep rooting for them no matter what

Jerry builds Big 12 teams, focuses on skill players and goes light in the trenches, they can't hold up to a quality "SEC" team. After all this time I don't see Jerry changing much in his roster approach, Garrett did get him to upgrade the OL and running game for a brief time but that's not the norm for Jerry and even then he was light on defense. I'd expect the Cowboys to continue being, at best, just outside the top 4 teams every year.

 

[Rockport]

No you’ll be crapping on the team after the kickoff.

 

[plasticman]

The way I see it is the Cowboys can avoid the 49ers until a potential NFC championship game if they can draw the #2 seed.

With a #5 seed, the Cowboys will play the 49ers in a division round if they can escape the wildcard round.

 

[SoupcanSam]

Regardless you all, seasons have been the same in the past, but this year has yet to play out, and still hadn't proved that it will playout the same as last season.

There is still more football left

Dude, can you stop the exaggerations and ridiculous can't really, they can't because I've seen Oklahoma and Texas BSET teams and that's why they're going to the SEC you know who the Big 12 championship is this year get out be the Texas Longhorns you know who they beat this year they'd be Alabama you know what Alabama is oh that's right they're both in the college playoff... Did you look at the Texas defensive line this year really their whole defense they were stingy as hell in the run game they had one of the best defensive lines in football and that dude sweat and the other guy to play next to him are going to be top ten draft picks in the NFL whenever they decide to come out, so you might want to calm down and just stick to just stating facts instead of using some weird analogies we don't look like a Big 12 team...

So, let's just stick to the facts and by the way our offensive line is not small... They're part of the trenches they're normal sized offensive line our defensive line was not built by Jerry it's built by Dan Quinn because Dan Quinn runs a specific type of defense Jerry has nothing to do with it and has nothing to do with college this is the NFL a lot of defensive coordinators have built fast defenses that can defend RPO's and a lot of quick edge passes as well as cover a lot of pass happy teams he is undersized his defense is undersized but it's not really in the trenches because Davis ,mazi, and hankins are hardly small they're just not used as much but they're kind of small with their hybrid linebackers...LVE(BIG LB) got hurt Overshown done before he started,, Evans 6'1 235 Clark 6'3 243

So if you want to gripe it someone let's keep the focus squarely on Dan Quinn some who want him to be the next head coach for whatever reason I don't know but most of our losses have come on defense and I don't really think it's the defensive line specifically more the linebackers the safeties gap integrity and the scheme...

.. it is possible that Dallas becomes one of those postseason teams that kicks into high gear.
This would be the first postseason that Mike is behind the helm with plays.
It could be that monkey wrench to our benefit. The X factor that will propel the team to championship status.
I mean anything is possible. The war isn't always won by the strong but by those who outsmart the opposition.

 

[KJJ]

The big picture is the Cowboys won’t get far playing on the road in the playoffs. Their point differential at home is the largest in franchise history but on the road this is a completely different team.

Fully agree, but I have a feeling that happens in the NFCCG this time around.

Is that progress? Yeah I guess.

Wish I was a fly on the wall when Jerry ducks into the toilet in his suite at Levi Stayjum ready to sell his soul for a win, and is told by Satan that he already owns it and isn’t into a big check and a NDA.

Thank you for the RARE positivity around here!
