Exposed.

All I hear every week on Monday is that this team was exposed, that team was exposed, even if said team won the game.

I love how the analysts make out that the rest of the NFL couldn't have figured out how to beat us until Minnesota exposed us and provided a blueprint even though we won the game.

I have zero tolerance for the word exposed (of course I also have zero tolerance for zero tolerance).

Never seen a team more "exposed" and that team still won the game. sure don't take into account 3 games in 12 days as being a part of the factor. people just looking for any excuses not to credit the Cowboys. if Cowboys win SB the media and or hater mantra might be " NFL was in a down season". lol its pathetic and so transparent.

A I see a lot of haters also mentioning how the Cowboys are last year's Panthers and the Panthers are last year's Cowboys. WHAT?

WOW didn't know we had a top 2 defense and a low IQ run QB who is easily "exposed".

I swear people just make stuff up. them and their strawman tactics. getting lame.

"Exposed" "The Blueprint" "Recipe" But do you have the personnel to "expose" or execute "the blueprint" and the right ingredients for the "recipe" to work. Time will tell

I'll play.....it's similar to yours that I've been seeing a lot in reference to the Boys. Blueprint...... Minny drafted the blueprint to beat us. Before them, apparently the Eagles did too

That last line... :)

Spoken like a true Canuck! (I mean that in the Canadian sense and not the American)...

If you check their schedule, you will see that the Vikings also played three games in twelve days. Speaking of things being overused, I think the excuse that the Cowboys played poorly because it was the Cowboys' "third game in twelve days" is also overused.

Another one is "flat" , that term used to be thrown around a lot in the 70s when the Cowboys did not perform well. That used to anger a lot of non-Cowboy fans, not giving credit to their own teams performance.

IMO it is "overrated" that is the most over used term. Many confuse it with being over hyped.

But who played who in who's house in those 12 days. Cowboys haven't won their since 94. That schedule is absolutely gruelling for a visiting team more so than the home team. never heard that 12 days deal till last week. I've heard "exposed" since the 80s.

I thought this was going to be about the Giants.
Keep hearing how badly the Steelers' game plan and WRs "exposed" the Giants LBs, and now everyone was going to do it.

Especially when we play 3 games in 12 days every year, and we were playing our second 3rd-game-in-12-days in a row (as were the Vikings).

I've been told the same thing. Our regular season record doesn't matter, and we will lose in the playoffs. It happened to the panthers (well, SB) so it'll automatically happen to us.
