Just got back from vacation last night and see there's nothing but doom and gloom here.

Why?

We will likely finish with a 12 win season. Everyone in here would have taken that in July...and CERTAINLY in Sept when Dak got hurt.

Everyone in here has been wringing their hands hoping we could find a way to beat Philly next week....and now it appears they're going to take their foot off the gas against us and rest some of their players, so I can't imagine we will find a way to lose to Gardner Minshew (could we?) and whatever other backups they throw out there. Good for us... though only flipside is we can't really take any pride in the win (just like we all discounted their win against us with Cooper Rush...though in hindsight Dak likely wouldn't have been any better, and may have been worse).

Everyone in here is saying we will be one and done in the playoffs.... and that if Jax can beat us, and that the only way we escaped a loss to the Texans was them intentionally losing, and that the chances of us beating Brady in the playoffs is EXTREMELY low.... and yeah, I kinda agree with all that....but personally I'd rather just enjoy playing in the wildcard for what it is: one extra week of football that a lot of teams would be happy for, and then after we're out, we can finally just let this season go and enjoy the rest of the playoffs, and looking forward to a fresh start in September!

Happy Holidays everyone!

Not everyone here has given up. Just the majority and they’re all losers.

We were going to beat the Eagles regardless.

We are about to crap kick them and it's going to be awesome.

And it will be meaningless. We loss our window of opportunity.
But such is the franchise known as the Dallas Cowboys featuring owner Jerry Jones. :(

I can't take anything from a Yankees, Lakers, or Bama fan seriously....

You mean like they "crap kicked" us i Oct?

I don't put a lot of weight on them stomping on us for a quick 20-3 lead before going into Prevent mode back in October.... do you? We didn't have Dak

It must have been an extended vacation because you obviously haven’t watched the games the past two weeks. The Cowboys are in the middle of another December swoon.
It was just a small week vacation... very nice, thanks!

I would have taken 10 wins in July.

Now, I want 11 at least.

Losing out would mean going into the playoffs on a 4 game losing streak. No one wants that.

"Cowboys wins are meaningless." - supposed fan
I know sarcasm is your thang, and I like it. But to those who don't get it, let me explain my "meaningless" comment.

We've been trying to take the division. With a win against Jaguars, we'd be sitting pretty with a 11-3 record going into a pivotal game with the 13-1 Eagles.
With Jalen Hurts now hurt, we would have been in a prime position to win this game, bring our record to 12-3 and possibly see another Eagle's defeat to even our records at 13-3 - assuming we'd keep winning.

Now, that's out the window. It's more likely we take the 5th seed.
With that being an almost assured reality, beating the Eagles is meaningless.
I'd rather we not beat them and allow them to think they have some mastery over us then when we see them again in the playoffs, we spank that hiney in Philly, bolstered by an overconfident Eagles team who thinks they will roll over us a third time in a season - something very difficult to do.

So, I say we start resting guys. We've already made the playoffs. We're going to be on the road. Our players need rest if we're not getting a bye in the post season.

You may not resume your sarcasm. :)

Some people like to live in fantasy land.
