...I'd report a ton of positive COVID tests next Saturday. A depleted team is the Cardinals kryptonite.
Please stop. This is a bad team if they are losing to second stringers. The insinuation they can beat a full strength team is ridiculous.

Oh, I do, I live in Texas. Stop trying to make sense of this franchise... this is exactly the kind of game they should not even get close but win lol
You guys think world is non linear..it is always about momentum. Current momentum says they cannot win.

The Cowboys should give out red shirts to their fans so the Cards players think it's another home game and they'll stink up the joint.

Their strength is their weak division.
that helps for sure, but to be fair they were under .500 the past 2 years and failed to make the playoffs in that same division that was arguably weaker than it is now. for me the cowboys strength this year has been that they have transitioned into a better defensive team. the stats may or may not tell another story, but that's what I have seen to this point. if they want to win in the playoffs they have to continue to force turnovers, because that is their strength. their defense has mauled their opponents the past 3 games, as it relates to turning the ball over and scoring points. Over that 3 game stretch they got their 3 best defensive linemen back from injury, but that was against the likes of Saints/WFT/NYG, it's unclear how they will match up against the better teams.

that's the NFL. from week to week you just never know what will happen. 4-6 weeks ago many people were lauding both AZ and Dallas as the top 2-3 teams in the NFC. now most people are putting them a clear notch below Green Bay. If you listen to the Dallas media you wouldn't know that Dallas have won 3 straight games on the road, because the vibes are very negative.

With good reason. If you watched those three games they were extremely unimpressive. Not as awful as the cards, obviously, but just flat out ugly play.

from the offensive perspective yes. and they have had some terrible turnovers at the end of games on offense trying to force the ball downfield rather than just run the clock out and let their defense finish the game off. from the defensive perspective dallas can't be any more impressive if you consider how bad they were the past 2 years.

The Cardinals and the Cowboys are both facing their demons of imploding when it counts... if not now, on the horizon for the Cowboys

we will see. the playoff production is all that matters. for dallas they will have to prove it in the playoffs because they haven't gotten past the second round since 1996. so it's too easy to go back to that until they prove otherwise. for me though, their defense is clearly better than it has been in a while.

Their defense is night and day compared to that historically putrid one from past seasons... but they cannot afford their WRs going Christian Kirk and dropping ball when it counts

If I was the Cowboys, I would petition to play the Redskins (oops, I mean the lame 'football team') every week and break some serious records :)
