The big picture is Dallas will be ok

[Blast From The Past]

If we start the game with drive killing penalties, a turnover or a pick 6 or scoop and run pick 6 then we are doomed for the whole game. This team can't seem to come back from adversity. If this team gets down then it probably stays down. I wish I could say something different it really pains me to have to face reality in this regards. I grew up with Tom Landry's teams and I never thought we were out of a game. Never did I ever think the Cowboys didn't have a chance to come back and win. Sadly I don't feel good about the current team doing such things. If they get ahead they play better all game long but the opposite happens when they get down on points and things are going sideways for them. I wanna see grit, fight and a you ain't beating me mentality. I know a pipe dream. But SF looms large and softies won't prevail against such a juggernaut. Can't win in the tournament if you are mentality weak. Please don't think I am being negative here. I am calling out what I see and the above is all reality.

Everyone knows the boys are built to grind out tough playoff victories not light up the regular season.

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?

What have the Eagles shown in the last 3 weeks and in the last 57 years?

 

[Captain-Crash]

I hope we see the "little man" this week. Go tiny.

Two trips to the Superbowl. Was that a trick question?

The Cowboys have played 3 good teams on the road, and have lost all 3 games, not remotely competitive in 2 of them. They're almost certainly on the road for every playoff game. You have an odd definition of "Ok".

They aren't winning this year.

 

[Asklesko]

I don't think they will. They don't have a history of being okay.

Nothing certain at this point. 3 games to go. The Eagles could lose another game. The Eagles must go 3 and 0 if the Cowboys go 2 and 1 with a victory over Washington.

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.

Sure they will be ok. They will finish the season with 11 or 12 wins. Maybe win one playoff game. What bad about that. Then it will time to think about next year. Hopefully Jerry and Stephen make the right moves. Need a true number 1 rb. Need an elite safety, linebacker depth, and a veteran run stopper and I don’t mean acient like Hankins. Than with diggs, lve, Overshown back. I think maybe they can make a real run. Now if you mean fine by you think they making a superbowl this year. Your dreaming.

 

[diamonddelts]

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.

That is fair

 

[Metalman]

i want to see this team get up after a early punch in the mouth and fight back,seems to me that they get down early and give up and half *** their way to another loss

 

[Jayinem]

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

Not automatically, only if both #6 and #7 seed lose. I could see one of Philly or Detroit losing at home possibly.

Paraphrasing Marcellus Wallace: "Dallas is pretty damn far from OK."

 

[5Stars]

They aren't winning this year.

Did I say they were? You asked a dumb question, I only answered you.

Exactly. It won't be any different. Groundhog day.

Your idea of OK and my idea of OK are clearly different.

To me 'The big picture is Dallas will be ok' means a trip to the super bowl.

From Jerry, all the way down to the tapers in house...have built up a hell of an attitude and chip on their collective shoulders. This last game was their Alamo...and they are coming for every opponent from there. They aren't waiting for a San Jacinto at this point...San Francisco is down the road!!
