The NFL is a home/road league

[Parcells4Life]

let’s face it, for some reason this defense is top 3 when it’s at home and maybe top 12 on the road.

Happens everywhere.

Saints fall apart at our place

Rams fall apart in Chicago

NE can’t play in Miami.

All this says to me is Dallas likely beats TB next week, wins its wildcard game then will lose in divisional round.

Not much more analysis needed than that

We don't even deserve to be in the playoffs. This is who we've been for a long time now. We are always a game away from a meltdown.

No. The facts are we faced the second hottest team in the league at their place.

In the NFL, teams on a hot streak will win at home 95% of the time and the really good teams will roll.

We aren’t as good as we’ve played at home and we aren’t as bad as we are on the road. A neutral field is somewhere in the middle

Luck averages about 3 TDs per game this season.

We had everything go against us in this game on the road after 5 emotional wins in a row.

It’s the ebb and flow of an NFL season.

The problem is we are most likely going to have to play 2 road games to make the Super Bowl

And we likely won’t make it out of the divisional round. But to say we’ll go one and done and get blown out in wildcard round is preposterous.

New England has now lost back to back December games (both of which were on road) for first time since 2002.

I wouldn’t say that. If the cowboys finish 10-6.

Usually 10-6 gets you into the playoffs.

And the Seahawks lose on the road to SF who’s in mix for #1 pick.

That’s just the way this league is folks. Those who win on road consistently are special.

This D just made Mack a Pro Bowl selection. He almost had more rushing yards than Luck had passing. Get this Luck had no TD's and under 200 yards passing and we still get blown out. Just marinate on that for a second.

The run defense was the worst I have seen from a cowboys defense in a while.

It was surprising. And the only explanation I can think of is....... lack of effort. Because our defense is too talented to get steamrolled in the running game like that.
