I'm glad to hear that everything is closed. The players were asking Jerry to close it because of how loud the stadium was in New Orleans and they wanted to try and emulate that. It should be very loud in Dallas today, hope it helps.
I was wondering when they were going to do that. When I went on a tour of the stadium in week 3 I asked why the banners were not up and the tour guide had no answer. I said I bet they will unveil them during the Thanksgiving day game but this was a better choice!!!THIS JUST IN!!!Just learned that Jerry Jones has plans to unveil the Super Bowl banners today to help inspire the crowd.
Common sense not your strong point, eh?
They need to use them both equally IMO. Barber hammers and Felix dashes. Most importantly, Romo is hitting his receivers with both RBs in the game. This has to make it tough on defenses.
let's do this boysMustang Man said:Hey we beat them in Dallas this week how much confidence do you need to do it again the next week in the playoffs. Would love nothing more then to beat them for the division and then beat them for a 3rd time in the playoffs. I would think that would more then make up for the 44-6 loss huh.Chaos Commish said:
I think the Cowboys like having Felix Jones healthy this time of year, so yes. They will never give him the full load because he can't take the beating. He played very well today, I'm glad Dallas has him heading into the playoffs. I don't think anyone ever doubted he's the most explosive of the 3 running backs on the squad.switz said:
I am not 100 percent sure this is true. I probably should be true but if the Cowboys lost to the Eagles next week, I wouldn't bet my life Phillips is automatically back. Now, winning the NFC East two out of 3 years is pretty darn good and you shouldn't lose your job when you do that but a lot of people just look at it like did you win a playoff game? No so what good is winning the division.I think he needs to win next week's game to really secure his spot. Dallas looked good today but they beat the Giants 2 out of 2 and the Giants came in to Cowboy stadium and beat us. Now, the Giants played an awesome game versus the Patriots when they were undefeated at the end of the season then played solid in the wild card game against Tampa I think. You didn't see that kind of solid play out of Philly today heading into next week. Obviously it would be a huge disappointment to lose that game next week after how we handled our business this week but it's entirely possible. The Eagles will throw the kitchen sink at us next week, I hope Romo is close to 100 percent to he's able to move around in that pocket.Ariakis said:
What people do not seem to saying is that Philly has to worry more about the Dallas defense then Dallas has to be worried about Philly throwing the kitchen sink at them. We will score and beat the blitz it is a given but can Philly beat this defense of Dallas cause they are playing better then anyone.
I know what you're saying, but they did just win the NFC East and that should be celebrated. I mean, the ultimate goal for anyone once they reach the playoffs is the SB, so if you think of it that way, you shouldn't even really celebrate if they beat Philly next week.I think you have to enjoy the win, it was a long tough season and the Cowboys are the NFC East Champs. Of course they have to show up next week and play Philly but if they lose to a team they just shutout, shame on them.I don't think the veterans on the team will lose focus, they have to be SOOO tired of hearing they haven't won a playoff game.
I believe that they do a victory Monday after every win. At least they did that earlier in the season. BTW I agree with Mustang Man. Our defense is playing lights out right now. I believe that our Mike Jenkins is a shutdown corner and Anthony Spencer has turned into the beast that we wanted him to be.
Even if Wade leaves which I dont think is a given if they lose, Garrett will take over as the Head Coach and Dallas will take a major step backwards on the defense. It really makes no sense to let Wade go, say what you want about the guy but 2 division wins in the competitive NFC East in 3 years and a winning record every year he has been here. Hard to fire a guy with those credentials.
It will be Saturday night in primetime.
I still disagree with the "can't handle a full load" garbage. His few injuries weren't from being overworked, they weren't even really contact injuries.However, he doesn't need the whole load to make an impact for the Cowboys, and that's all that really matters in the playoffs.
Well I said I'd take a kick in the nuts if that game wasn't saturday night in the game thread. I guess I'm safe then.
As Cowboy fans, you gotta love the short turn around for Philly. We are hitting on all cylinders and the Eagles have to fly back to Dallas a day earlier than they want to. I would think this could be huge for Dalla.s
Wade stays with at least one win (1st playoff victory in ages). If he loses next week (especially if they get blown out), I think he's probably gone.Edit to add: that's what I thought would happen last season, too (but it obviously didn't).
The path is certainly favorable, beat Philly, then beat Minny (who is struggling, I dont give them credit beating the Giants), then either Green Bay at home or go to New Orleans. I think Green Bay probably makes it to the championship game making it a home game for Dallas.
Go away, Mr. Fairweather.
The best thing from a Cowboys perspective is not having to play NOLA till the NFCC if it comes to that. Farve has always had a huge mental block versus the Cowboys. The team is completely in his head and it's not something the Minnesota fans are aware of, yet.
Spencer wasn't even an every down LB until Thanksgiving, right? Am I high?
He's been the starter all year. He's just gotten better and better as the year went on. While he was close to making plays early, he's been making them late.
That's the impression I usually get.
I think he's been there all year. He really was letting me down for the first half of the season. He missed a few easy picks that went right through his hands, and he wasn't getting the pressure on the QB like he has been lately. Maybe DeMarcus being hurt the first half allowed teams to pick on him too.
Right, he's been the starter, but he kept rotating out situationally? Very odd choice considering how many quality LBs there were this year.
Nope. He's really been the guy all year. Last year he rotated with Ellis. But this year, he's been full time.
Well this is what happens when you give up season tickets.
Dallas finishes the season with the 2nd least pts scored against per game at 15.6pts per game.
Garrett vs McDermott is a huge advantage towards the CowboysQuestion for you guys: Im thinking of going to the game this weekend (will be a 6 hour drive), what is the best way to purchase tickets (stubhub, craiglist, scalper etc.)? I will be bringing my 2 sons and a co-worker with me and am expecting to spend anywhere from $100 -200 per ticket, I realize I will be in the crappy seats but really just want my sons to get the experience of going to a playoff game and hopefully be able to say "I was there when we ended the 13 year playoff win drought."
