Been working a lot of OT lately, lol.
But your here today and for the game tonight, that matters the most.
I already burped up a few butterflies in the belly knowing you are here.

All the Brady and Cowboys cursed lore really should not matter as much as the Cowboys are a better team than the Bucs and have a golden opportunity to advance to the Divisional Round.

I'm completely frustrated. Why? Simply because if I don't expect anything a win will kick me right on the rainbows lollipops 'n sunshine train! I can't watch the game live as it won't start before 2:30am on tuesday around here. So when I wake up, it'll be one look on my phone that will determine whether my whole day will suck or rock.

Go Cowboys!

So a couple of days ago i said to myself i won't get hyped up until at least the NFCCG. I asked myself why get hyped up too early? One win, or two wins, or even three wins, is still one win shy. I guess for some younger fans maybe they never seen a playoff run by the Cowboys, and they will take what they can get, i don't blame you, but i have seen it, so 2 or 3 playoff wins doesn't really mean that much to me as a older Cowboys fan.

When i woke up this morning i was almost immediately thinking about the game as if this is the first time i'm going to see the Cowboys in the playoffs. The hyped rush of energy consumed me. Afterwards I had a few errands to run and none of them went smoothly. I'm starting to think that this game tonight will also not go without a few bumps, maybe more than a few.

Some part of the Cowboy's team will have to carry the rest of them team if it unfolds this way.

If you asked me 2 or 3 months ago i would've said, No problem the defense will do it.

What happened to this Cowboys defense? Can they be counted on to carry the team through what could be 4 very difficult games?

Let's go Cowboys!
Micah got tired/injured and we lost corners. Even in the beginning of the year if Micah was off the field offenses went straight down the field. They have to do better to keep him fresh for a whole season!

It's apparently clear that DC Quinn is a one trick pony. He's been riding Parsons so hard and now that he's burned out, DC Quinn doesn't have anything in his bag of tricks to offset how OC's are attacking HIS defense. Things are so bad that this club doesn't have enough heart, guts or nasty energy to stop teams on their OPENING drives!!!!!!!!!!! How many times have we watched Parsons look all out of whack on OPENING DRIVES?????? It's downright pathic watching this kid struggle to catch his breath when he's BULL RUSHING down after down!

Don't worry the defense will show. It's the QB who won't. Just like in the past.

Feel like they were pretty overrated all season. Good, but not great.

Injuries down the stretch didn’t help.

What happened to this Cowboys defense? Injuries.
Yup, it's as simple as that. Stacked injuries where they had poor depth (CB). It's the same thing that's happened to the running game (OL injuries).
