The biggest issue this team has is not what an individual player is doing.

Typically those are errors made in the heat of battle.

The real issue with this team is on both sides of the ball they are not controlling the LOS. This will more than likely lead to an early exit.

Win the LOS in playoff ball and you will more than likely win the game. This is not what Dallas has been doing the last three games.

How many times do we have to keep repeating the same ride before eventually you get off and see what's in front of you for what it truly is. Take off the fan glasses, or better yet, what would Parcells think of a team doing this consistently?
Remind me, who won again?

Parcells says you are what your record says you are.

Remind me, what is our record?

Records are reset come playoff time. This type of play cannot and will not hold up for playoff success, surely you can see that? Or are you Rockport's son?

If we win a playoff game exactly like we did tonight, what happens?

Then we will move on to the next round that will end in failure. You cannot play this way and expect to be playing in February

Easy:
1. Run the clock out when your ahead
2. Quit fumbling the ball on the goalline.
3. Don't play prevent defense
4. Dont lead the league in penalties.
Next question......
That's not a definition. It's a list of things that may or may not need improvement.

No they absolutely need improvement. Teams that lead the league in penalties do not win in the playoffs. Turnovers in the red zone lead to losing games. You cannot win 3 in a row and make the Super Bowl if your team is not able to be consistent. That means consistently avoiding turnovers, avoiding bad penalties, and being well coached. That is not the case right now.

What if we win a game exactly like this, advance then win another exactly like this?
