I disagree. I do not think that a loss here means we are not for real. Seattle is a difficult place to play and not to many teams win there lately. On neutral ground I think we stand a better chance but in Seattle its a whole different ball game. Like I said though I do not see a loss today as meaning we are not for real as long as we dont get blown out.

Well our d won't be for real until we get Carter back and McClain is healthy. And we get Lawrence back too (we need his speed at DE). I just want to see how our offense does today. Limit turnovers, and effectively run the ball.

Half the team is real. The other half is being held together with duct tape. It's just not NFL quality.

So if they lose, you are jumping off the bandwagon because they are not real? Every game is a test. How you respond after wins, losses, at home, on the road, after bye weeks, etc are more indicative of a team being real or not.

Sorry .. I don't agree .. It's just simply another game.. Win or lose does not prove or disprove anything.. Teams are just starting to establish themselves for the 2014 season .. Identities and trends are being recognized ... What this game does for the Cowboys is see how they execute a game plan against another opponent .. Too much is made of playing previous years champs .. Like if you beat them , then your destined for greatness .. Or if you lose to them your an inferior opponent who can't handle them and deserved to lose ... Bottom line is 11 men line up on one side and 11 on the other with the same goal .. Score more points than your opponent to get a win ..at the end of the day if all are lucky .. No one gets hurt and you are either one win closer or one loss further .. But it doesn't define a team or a season .. Just another game

I think this is a good test for our run game. If we can run on Seattle, we can run against any team.

Agree. A loss doesn't really mean much. A win at their place would indicate that the Cowboys are better than most people believe, but a loss doesn't mean anything relative to the other teams in the Cowboys division.

The test today will be how we respond to the Seahawks punching us in the face! That will tell me how mentally tough we are as a team right now.

Win or lose today will not make or break the season. It is 1 game of 16 to get to where they want to be. The playoffs.
We win, we all feel GREAT, but move on to the next game, we lose, it's, move on to the next game, because we were expected to lose anyway.
