The Cowboys Are Bipolar

[Blackrain]

This franchise organization team,
We are capable of beating any team in this league, decisively at that.
The sad part is can be said just the opposite. We could lose even to the worst team in this league.
Anyone thinking we’re going to lose simply because of how we played against Washington.
Really doesn’t understand the Cowboys franchise right now. That’s my opinion.
I think we actually destroy Tampa.

All true brother we can beat anybody and we can find new and even more embarrassing ways to lose to lesser teams.

Everybody seemed ready to jump off the ledge after the Washington game but I really wasn't phased as I believe like you do we could absolutely annihilate Tampa Bay on Monday.

It's a warm weather game in Tampa Bay and that bodes well for us we suck in cold weather.

Anything in lambeau Field is just about a guaranteed loss in December or beyond.

Part of that is Dak. He can play like a rookie UDFA then play like a future HoFer. Against Washington he just played poorly. Against Tampa, he could play lights out. We won't know until the game is in progress which Dak will show up.

On the other hand, the Cowboys issues at CB, rushing the passer, and running the football, have been pretty consistent the last 4 or 5 weeks. Maybe they are fired up for this game. But last year they came out flat and got better as the games was played.

IMO, they have to be able to run the football to win this game. I think if they can get the offense going again, they can outscore the Bucs even with the problems are CB. But they need some kind of a rush on Brady too. If they allow Brady to stand in the pocket like Carolina did two weeks ago, the defense will get smoked.

Yep, the Cowboys definitely are that. It's like a roller coaster ride....up and down...up and down.....playing with our emotions!! It's not healthy!!

 

[Carson]

Everyday I wake up with a different attitude on this game. I am currently pretty confident we will win this game. Tomorrow, probably not.

Pretty much this.

We can all but guarantee, if we win toss we will receive, we will start slow, they will focus on getting Zeke involved, we will be slower on grass. Brady will try to expose whoever is at LCB. I am not sure why Quinn refuses to give them safety help.

The plus is, they haven’t been great. So even with a slow start we will remain in the game.

We win this game. But I think it’ll be a 27-23, we pick off Brady late in the 4th.

So true... that's why platinum guarantee's are fun for optimism's sake, but the players can never think that a win is simply going to happen.
Then... playoffs level... if everyone is not playing 100%, focused, and INTENSE... the smallest thing can end the season.

 

[JJHLH1]

Fans know the playoff futility of the past 27 years.

Until that history changes, playoff losses should be expected.

The amount of green between the good and bad is epically pathetic. Yes...some teams are good, some teams bad. Some good teams have bad games, good players have bad plays.

When we're good, we can beat any team. When we're bad we look like a bad high school team.

Never seen such a discrepancy. Dysfunction.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

If it wasn't for Tom Brady I'd agree with you. But this team has a habit of bouncing back. But if they somehow win I fully expect them to get bounced next week.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

winning next week will help cure it all.

Until the next game when the other polar shows up.

 

[CoachD]

Bipolar, is the best description of the Dallas Cowboys ever!

we beat the bears and Texans both #1 and 2 worse teams in the league...which was the worst team we lost to this season?? memory serves is GB?

5 losses correct?
TB-playoff team on the road
Eagles-playoff team on the road
Jags-playoff team on the road had 17 point lead
Washington-8-8-1 on the road
GB-8-9 on the road had 14 point lead

so now, hows are those bad teams? one losing record in the bunch all on the road.


being 8-3 down the stretch with 2 OT losses is hardly a reason to label us that way, i get it, but reality is fans media thought we would blow teams out but while winning, made them feel like losses, which is unfair given event he chiefs, eagles, bills and other playoff teams had games like that all year,, those are the real facts. expectations are to win but fans expectations if they are big pretty, perfect wins, they are losses.. ridiculous.

sorry man, i feel ya but im not having that, this year our 12 wins this season are far more valid than last year..we fought hard through adversity and came out with 12-5 season with may wins against winning teams.

I just don’t get how we can go through two new staffs, new players, etc and still be making the same mistakes in big games. It HAS to be the pressure and the Star.

It's common knowledge that JJ signed a deal with the devil back in the 90's. He got 3 Super Bowls wins in 4 years in return for quarter century or more of mediocrity. The big question remains, was it a lifetime deal or does it expire at some point?

I'll give you two more guesses..

I have been calling them jekell/hyde
Most inconsistent Cowboys team I have ever seen.
The potential is there, you just don't know when you are going to see it.

 

[john van brocklin]

Jerry and Stephen
The common denominator for the past 27 years.

 

[john van brocklin]

Inconsistency is coaching
Period

I tend to agree.
A hard nosed HC would get more consistentcy out of this bunch and help counteract the entitled culture
created and maintained by the GM.

 

[john van brocklin]

That and the fact that no one is held accountable for bad performances. Aikman and Irvin used to chew everyone out back in the day, and that doesn't happen any more. The downward spiral started with Switzer and hasn't stopped since.

It took a break the 4 years we had Parcells but yep., I agree...

 

[ksadler1]

winning next week will help cure it all.

Winning Monday night would be a "feel good" win but it cures nothing. Win at least 2 playoff games and l will take this team more seriously. Until then it's just the SOS different year.

I totally agree we are going to have to be able to run the ball and running into the teeth of that defense is not the way to do it in my opinion .
Hopefully Pollard can get the edge.

And I will say this again Dak has to be part of this running game he needs to run whenever it's there and get positive yardage he needs to make them account for him and stop him there is no tomorrow he is capable and needs to do it.

This is what will open things up and add the dimension that we need.

Dak ..cannot be greedy he cannot stand back in the pocket waiting for the big play like he's leading the greatest show on turf.

The chains positively have to move 3 and out is unacceptable and will lose us the game guaranteed.

Control the ball Don't turn it over dink dunk win time of possession keep your defense fresh and off the field score slowly but score.

Win by attrition and wear them out.
As for Brady he is not mobile he is not fast and he is not hard to take down attack him off the edge with Clark or Wilson or one of The safeties opposite Micah Parsons

The attention will be on Parsons attack him from the opposite side

If I told you once I told you a thousand times...take your Lithium pills, Cowboys.
