We Needed to Lose vs. Detroit

[ChronicCowboy]

That fake win gave the team a feeling of invincibility at home as it completed our undefeated home slate. But we clearly weren’t the team we were earlier in the season.

Philly failing at the end and a ref blunder is all that kept us out of the 5 seed….it was nothing we did.

I feel like Dallas probably wins a game or two in the playoffs if they lose that Lions game. The sense of urgency would have been greater heading into the playoffs.

Nah. Going on the road would have given them another excuse. "We just don't play well on the road."

Fake win?

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

You think a loss would have "really showed them whats what!"....

LOL. SF couldn't do it last year or this year. Arizona couldn't do it. But by golly that Detroit game...THAT one was IT!

Oh boy.

There was nothing psychological set up by the Lions game. We have been shaky against good teams all year. Do you really think we would have done better against the Rams?

I really hate that this loser team "needed to lose' to refocus itself or else once again they start huffing their own farts.
Happens every damn season, no matter the coach

You can't be serious?????????? This fake gutless and heartless team needs to be blown up and start over for the top on down because there is no way it was going to get out of the first round of the playoffs no matter who they faced. Hell, I personally believe the top 4 college teams in this year's playoffs could have given the Cowboys a run for their money. This is a badly infected team loaded with PATHIC losers!

Disagree. It would be way less likely that there would be major changes if we were the 5th seed. We may have even beat TB which would have made things worse. No excuses for what happened.

 

[Staubacher]

Takes are getting more ridiculous here as the day goes on lol

 

[Aven8]

We beat Detroit fair and square.

 

[ChronicCowboy]

I’m not trying to say they win the Super Bowl or anything but I think the team was comfortable for the wrong reasons going into the playoffs. Team wasn’t playing well but still got rewarded.
