I wish I was as optimistic.
Personally, I hope that the Cowboys will go 14-2 and win the
superbowl. Doing that undefeated thing is DRAINING mentally for the
players and it COSTS. The fins can keep their undefeated record, I'd
rather see the Cowboys become the first team with 6 Lombardi trophies.
Keep the B.S. gimmee the fkin rings.
But how cool would it be if they did their version of "Super Bowl Shuffle"
with Jessica Simpson as the lead singer? The NFL has never seen nothing
like that.
I think they would rather win every game they play than to intentionally
lose one so they do not have pressure. `
But they do have to play the Giants at least twice and maybe even three
times so that 19-0 would be quite a feat.
Of course, it would be more than cool, it would be phenomenal. But
it's probably not going to happen either, and............I'm ok with
that. I think , however, that it is far more likely for them to lose a
few games, which is fine as long as they get to the big
show..........AND WIN.......prefferably against the Steelers so that
we can even this thing up already.
Not.
A.
Chance.

I think you've smoked some of the 30 pounds of Mexican Bam-Bam taped
under your car...

Yecch. I am afraid of drugs. As far as I can tell they either kill a
person, send them to jail, or turn them into some sort of criminal.
The Cowboys and Patriots do not play in the regular season. They could both
be 18-0 and have the greatest football game ever in the Super Bowl.
You have some serious mental issues.
They just got manhandled AT THE HOME OPENER, ON THE LAST MONDAY NIGHT GAME
IN TEXAS STADIUM.
They should have smoked the Eagles, where in the end they eked out a win
because McNabb made a bad handoff.
Your defense did NOTHING to stop the Eagles the entire night.
Keep smoking the good stuff though
I bleed blue and silver too, but how long have you been watching football?
piss on that, let's just shoot for a playoff win.

Yeah, how gay would THAT be!
Right on, man. Got to crawl before you can run. The good thing:
This is exactly what TO said when he was being baited by the ESPN guys
after the game about his "team goals" for the season. He didn't say
"Super Bowl", he said "playoff win".
Have to agree. One game at a time, including that first playoff victory in
twelve years... THEN maybe start worrying about the Super Bowl.
That's a loooooooong way away. As for undefeated seasons, yeah one would be
nice, but not at the expense of losing a key player just in time to blow
another post season.
The one thing has nothing to do with the other thing.
The way the Cowboys can score from anywhere on the field by either the pass
or the rush there is no reason that they should be expected to lose a game.
I think your Jessica Simpleton/ Super Bowl Shuffle idea was funnier.
Reference the last game of the regular season in
which the New York Giants and New England
Patriots went all out to win. Both teams ended
up in the Super Bowl. The teams that put forth
half-hearted efforts to win the last game? They
all got booted from the playoffs.
Lesson? Going all out to win that last game is
the way to build confidence for the playoffs, and
half-hearted efforts and trips to Cabo tend to yield
sub-par playoff results.
Surely, if any team/head coach/GM/owner other
than those on the Giants and Patriots have learned
that lesson, it's the Dallas Cowboys/Wade Phillips/
Jerry Jones that won't make that mistake again.

The point was, "gotta crawl before you walk," and to that end yeah they do
have something to do with one another.
The team could score from anywhere last season too, and NEEDED to in several
wins (the Buffalo game stands out in that regard). Also SHOULD have in at
least four other games... the ones they should not have lost, but did.
Look, I'd be downright giddy if they did not lose a game, but I just don't
see that happening. Just in the division alone, we face the Super Bowl
champion twice, the Eagles again and two games with the Redskins. When any
of those three teams meet the Cowboys (or vice versa, for that matter),
records or relative talent do NOT matter.
Plus, we've got Green Bay there next, and while we're all salivating that
Bret Favre never won a game in Texas Stadium, one does have to remember that
Dallas has never won a game at Lambeau... and that early in the year, Aaron
Rogers seems to be playing pretty well. I think Dallas can win in Green Bay,
but it's surely not a given.
Every year some team wins the Super Bowl so that is not all that noteworthy.
But the first 19-0 season by America's Team would be historic.
Roy Williams being out is a GIFT. Jim Johnson KNEW he was out in the
2nd half yet the Boys still contained the Eagles to 7 points.
Our defense will only get better 2nd year in WP's scheme as they gel
as a unit.
The offense? What needs to be said. Felix the Cat as kick returner.
Barbarian proving why he should have been a started all last year.
Witten which no one can answer. T.O. the monster. And apt WR's Crayton
and Austin.
The offensive line.
Cowboys are a fucking well oiled machine. Just keep the mistakes down
is ALL they need to do.
LOL you are hilarious!
The Cowboys did EVERYTHING in the 2nd half to prevent the Eagles from
winning. The COWBOYS DEFENSE kept the Eagles to 7 points.
It's the EAGLES that did NOTHING to prevent the Cowboys from Winning.
If you are up 30 to 20 whatever it was, you put your foot on your
opponent's throat. Eagles can't do that because Reid and McNabb and
Johnson are chumps.
ROMO giftwrapped 14 points for the eagles, the refs giftwrapped 7
(bogus PI on Anthony Henry). Let's not forget the Eagles got lucky
Pacman or Williams didn't jump on the ball that Desean Jackson dropped
at the plane. So that's 28 points the Eagles were pretty much lucky in
scoring.
Right.... it's all the Cabo trip... nothing about Brady lighting up the NYC
nightlife before his games... nothing about the head coach TELLING players
to take a few days in the extra week to get their minds off football...
nothing about the OTHER trips taken by players... just the Cabo trip.
At the end of that very game, the illiterate quarterback who blew off his
team to take a trip to Cabo was still somehow putting his team into a
position where they had a chance to win that game.
Might a little blame fall on his Pro Bowl tight end, Jason Witten, because
he and his wife were in Cabo with him. How 'bout the players who flew off to
Vegas?
Or how about going all out two games from the end of the season and seeing
TO get hurt and having him only about 75% effective for the playoffs.
Better yet, plan to not have the off day that everybody has in a playoff
game.
After training camp, pre-season and sixteen games, if a team does not know
what it's supposed to do in a playoff game, it NEVER WILL know.
And yet, with everything that went wrong in that playoff game, there was
Romo still in a position to win. He didn't. Stuff happens.

Probably not, but those days off Phillips gave the players are NOT the
reason the Cowboys lost that playoff game to the Giants.
For the most part, the only ones who can stop the Cowboys are the
Cowboys. It's evident that this could be the most explosive offense
that this organization has ever fielded. Penalties have to finally and
seriously be addressed though, they are still a large problem. I don't
think this team will go undefeated though and really I hope that they
don't even think about that shit. One or 2 losses is actually better
IMO, like I said earlier , trying to go undefeated stresses the shit
out of a team and could burn it out. The pats may have experienced
that as well.
I noticed your lack of response to the part
about the half-hearted effort the team put
into the Washington game. That half-ef-
fort, combined with the ill-conceived ticket
Wade gave the team to take it easy in the
'bye' week, reasons contributing to why
Wade is 0-4 in the playoffs, and the Cow-
boys have tied the record for the most
straight playoff losses (at 6).
