I am pretty confident in this game with the only reservation being Linehan breaking out his "How to get too cute in the NFL" handbook. If he sticks to what got them here, we win.

I feel the same way. Especially about "what got them there", this recipe is one that can see the Cowboys beat any team. Our run game is a better right hook than any other team can throw.

I had a dream that the Cowboys had 4th and goal at the 1, :04 left, down by 5 points. I was screaming "Don't get cute, just run it! That's what we do, just run it!" Snap, hand off to Zeke, he goes low and busts in for the game winner. Everyone goes crazy! Then I found out it was a best of 3 series, because dreams can't ever be straightforward, lol.

Dak has gone against all odds meeting every test this season which gives us confidence he will make NFL history today.

We got this game in a romp. Here are some stats that Dak will shatter today.

Since 2010, rookie quarterbacks have gone 0-4 in playoff games when they're playing a team that features a QB that isn't a rookie.

In fact, the only rookie QBs to win in the playoffs since then? Russell Wilson and T.J. Yates. Guess who they were playing? Fellow rookie QBs RG3 and Andy Dalton.

In addition, no rookie QB has ever thrown for 200+ yards and won a playoff game in the history of the league.

My biggest concern is being flat after not playing anything that mattered for 3 weeks. If the Boys are on their game, it'll go well. If they come out flat, it could be a problem.

Interesting facts.

I've seen a few teams just completely not show up on Sunday... I just hope we don't lay an egg. Please let this team be different.

funny I had a dream the other night where Dallas scored on the final play but the play was under review and I woke up before the call was made.

That's fair, but I am at a place with our defense where I have bought in. It's a classic case of "The whole isbetter than the sum of it's parts." The defense doesn't have the star power of the offense, but they play together and manage good results more often than not. In fact they've bailed the offense out on many occasions these last few seasons.
