Why can't we beat Seattle?

Your right they will not likely go 15-1 but I expected to see this team out there busting their butts every time they step on the field looking to win. This is a hard game but it is winnable

Based on what I've seen, I don't see this Seattle game as a winnable game, and like I said, that's okay, because no one beats them in Seattle. Being 4-1 at this point makes it easier if they lose to Seattle.

based on watching the NFL every game is winnable, hard yes Dallas will have to play very good ball in all phases but Cowboys have a chance to go in and win. I'm sure the Cowboy players will be pretty fed up being told all this week they have no chance, it is on them to prove a lot of people wrong. Clearly if I'm setting odds on this game Seattle is the favorite but the game is still played between the lines and still comes down to making plays and avoiding mistakes.

Of course every team has a chance to win, the Jaguars have a chance to win every game as well, it doesn't mean that it's likely to happen. The Cowboys will be told all week that they have no chance to win in Seattle just like every other team is told that they have no chance, and outside of Arizona, no team has done it the past 2 or 3 years. Do they have a chance? Of course, every team has a chance, but it is not likely.

Redemption/revenge game for our boys. We already exacted revenge on New Orleans - Seattle is next!

Not concerned with likely, I expect Cowboys to go out there to win the game, Seattle is very good they are not unbeatable. Sorry I don't concede games to anyone. The history lesson is all well and good and as I said I expect the Seahawks to be favored but I don't expect the Cowboys to lay down for them.

You don't have to concede games, because you're not playing. Like I said the Cowboys are not going 15-1 so that means they will lose some games, and I believe that they will lose to the best team in football in their house and there is no shame in that. No one is saying that the Cowboys will lay down, but I don't expect them to win this game.

Fine you don't expect them to win. Yeah, you did not expect them to be 4-1 either. I'm not saying Dallas wins Sunday is a sure thing but I think Dallas has a chance in this game, they can win. When someone tells me we have no chance BS Dallas can win it will take very good play by them but Seahawks are not unbeatable. I sure as hell hope the Cowboys do not walk into the game thinking they can't win.

I don't think any team walks into any game expecting to lose, but that doesn't mean anything. The Seahawks are near unbeatable AT HOME. You're right, I didn't expect the Cowboys to be 4-1 but not all that surprised by it. The Cowboys are not going 15-1, which means they will lose some games, whether or not you want to think that's conceding games or not. This is one of the games that I don't believe or expect this team to win.

Fine you think Dallas loses good for you, I don't know if they will or won't but I expect them to go out play hard and give themselves a chance to win the game. There are no moral victories their job will be to go to Seattle to win the game. Plain and simple. If they lose it will be a disappointment, You keep telling me you don't believe they will and? Good then if they lose you have no reason to be disappointed or critical.

Why would I be critical if they lose to the best team in football in their house? I don't believe in moral victories either, but nobody should be mad if they lose this game if they go out and play hard. Seattle is just a superior team and there is no shame in losing to a team who plays the way they do at home.

Sorry will always be disappointed in a loss. Does not make the end of the world or season for Dallas but yes it will be a disappointment should they fail in this game.

Pump the brakes. We just barely got away with a win against the Texans. Let's not go crazy here.

Of course we CAN beat the Hawks. Doesn't mean we will. Either way, should be a good game.
Texans were ranked 1st in total defense coming in. We won making mistakes. Hopefully, we bounce back as we did against the Saints and clean it up. If we play like we did in week 4, we can beat Seattle.

I don't understand that kind of thinking, you don't believe the Cowboys are going 15-1 do you? If not, then why get upset with losing to the best team in football in their house?

I don't know what their end record will be, you think the players will be disappointed if they lose? I expect the Cowboys to go out and play to win every time they hit the field no matter who they play. Loses are disappointing and wins are great it is the nature of sports. Nothing is written in stone wins you predict will not always happen and loses you think will take place will not always happen. Does not mean a loss and I give up on them it just means I will be disappointed in them losing a game and I would suspect they will be disappointed in themselves.

Simple terms in all the years of being a Cowboys fan I have always been disappointed after a loss and always excited when they win.

My biggest concern is Foster really gashed Dallas today and you have to believe that will be Seattle game plan as well. Also, I think we need to get Dez going early in that game for psychological reasons for him and entire team.
The gashing came when McClain came out. He's already tweeted he's playing @ Seattle.

I don't know what their end record will be, but I know it won't be 15-1, and all I'm saying is, there is no shame in losing to this Seattle team at their house, where only one team has beaten this group in almost 3 years. I get upset when the Cowboys lose division games, or teams like Detroit. Sure there will be disappointment within the Cowboy locker room if they lose to Seattle, but for fans to get upset about it, that doesn't make any sense to me.

Truth is, it is a winnable game. We are playing identical style football as the Seahawks. Now, they've more talent on the D side of the ball but, we've more talent offensively I believe. We just beat the #1 defense (Texans). It's doable. The true test in Seattle is beating the crowd. It's insanely loud. No kill kill kill next week Romo. Better brush up on your sign language.

Is this a serious statement?

I said nothing of shame, I said if they lose I will be disappointed they lost the game. Sorry I never go into any of the games saying well we can't win this one it is just too hard. I know they are capable, it will not be easy they will have to play very well if they have any expectations to pull this one out but I think they are capable of doing just that. If they fail to win then of course I'm disappointed that they failed to get it done. I don't go bat **** crazy as many do here claiming they will never win but I will be disappointed that they were unable to get it done.
