Kinda weird to say, but i prefer this, team usually seems to play better when getting dragged through the mud
They can play better.

Sometimes.

But now the playoffs are here. And history shows they can’t handle the bright lights.

The players look nervous.

They play tight.

I’ll be paying close attention to the look on Prescott’s face Monday night. Especially early on. That look will tell us quickly how this game will go.

I agree with the OP.

The Cowboys are getting trashed. The so-called experts actually laugh at them. And it doesn’t bother me one bit.

I see why they do.

Agree 100%
Every time they start getting talked up in the press they seem to let it go to their heads and start sayings like we're the hot boyz now.
The only way to stop the trashing by the media is to play well.
However, IMO I think this may rub the fan base the wrong way more than the players.

Playoff teams don't normally look like Pop Warner the week going into it in a meaningful game.
LOL at meaningful game. That was not meaningful. Once the Giants announced they were benching their starters/key players that game was pretty much meaningless. We were already in the playoffs. Stop it.

every single tv show laughs and dismisses dak and the cowboys. And they have for years. How do they not try to muster up proving everybody wrong for once?

Dak gets straight up absurd and the team is shown little respect even tho they’re going on back to back 12 win seasons.

I hope they prove sometbjng.
They should be getting trashed and laughed at. They started the season not ready to play against a bad Tampa team, blew two 17 point second half leads and then didn’t come to play with the #1 seed on the line. They had some dominating performances but that’s just makes it so much more frustrating when they play down to their competition or flat out suck. They have no chance against Brady in the playoffs. Brady will identify the weakness and just destroy it all game. Dak isn’t good enough to keep up.

These people spin like revolving doors from week to week. Last week the Cowboys looked bad. The week before too. So they should expect the criticism. We are a far cry from the Cowboys 40-Vikings 3, aren't we?

Be prepared. If the Cowboys lose to the Bucs, they will be called pretenders.

Most of the season Dak was their favorite, he could do no wrong. Lately they're breaking down his play and flaws are apparent . It's up to the coaches to adjust the scheme and try to cover the warts. If they can we have a chance. But there is no long term solution. He has inconsistent accuracy, struggles reading the field, and now has a below average arm. He's at best limited as a NFL QB. At worst, done.

This happened last year as well leading up to the 49er game. I guess NFL people have yet to see what Bob is always posting about. Overcoming a lack of physical and mental toughness.
They gotta prove they ain't soft under the big lights once again. Hope it ain't a repeat of last year.

Tom Brady has won 35 playoff games since he came into the league. We have won 4 playoff games since 1996. There is a reason we are being trashed. That record has only one thing in common throughout and that's Jerry and Steven Jones. That is why we are getting trashed, pure and simple. Facts don't lie no matter how much Jerry Spins them. If we can't beat a 45 year old Tom Brady whose team is under 500 in the playoffs, then the owner and GM needs to take a hard look in the mirror and tell himself its not working and make corrections. .

You’re correct. And that narrative won’t change until we win more than a measly wild card game.
Yep. The victim mentality here is amusing.
Prove all the doubters wrong.
For 4 games. Asking too much?
Okay 2 playoff games this year then.
Lol

the media memory is as far back as the last game and that was a clunker. they should be getting trashed and I hope its p!ssing them off. specially with Mike Evans and Devin White comments about how easy our schemes are....they need to go in there angry as he!l

What have we done to earn respect? The ONLY way to be respected in any professional sport is to win playoff games. We’ve won 4 in the last 27 years. Respect? It has to be earned in the playoffs. Regular season only gives you the chance to show what you really are in the playoffs.
Since 1995, the Bills have 4( FOUR) playoff wins !! Yes they were very recent but 4 is still 4. Yet everyone is on their jock.

unfortunately next week is the week that they have to win. If they win this week its going to be well they were supposed to beat the Bucs. If they lose it will be "same old Cowboys".

The odds of Dallas winning the Super Bowl are 4%. Tom Brady is 7-0 vs. Dallas Cowboys.
