The Cowboys have to endure 7 days of being livid about their performance, about hearing that they don't deserve to be in the playoffs, hate from ESPN, from fans, taunting, mockery.
In the weird psychology that goes with being America's team, the superstar persona creeps into their mindset. As a different thread pointed out, it is a jekyll and hyde sort of thing, they seem like they EXPECT to win at times, without effort. Well, I think last week is more of a positive than it is a negative. The Cowboys don't expect to win whatsoever, but they certainly are going to be focused on football, they have been focused all week, for that matter.
It's going to be a show of force on Monday.
