I'm seeing Cowboys and Panthers week 1 and Cowboys and Skins on Thanksgiving. This is addition to playing the Giants on Week 2 at home on SNF and at the Giants on week 17. Dallas also plays the Saints the Thursday after Thanksgiving.

So crazy how similar the situations are with Dez and TO when they got cut

Both came off a 13-3 season that ended in a heart breaking loss in the divisional round

Both had high expectations going into the following season

Both had the cameras following them around training camp/pre season/season (All or Nothing debuts next week on Amazon Prime following the Boys 2017 season)

Both were playing with QB’s in their second full year as a starter

Both went 9-7

Both were critical of Garrett’s offense (TO was more direct stating the cowboys can’t get a championship unless he’s involved)

Both were reassured by Jerry that they’d be part of the Team at the conclusion of the season

The one positive IMO bout Dez being cut is that he did think he was bullet proof and I don’t like when players think there’s no chance in hell they’d ever be let go. Regardless of whether or not he should have been, in Dez’s mind, he assumed it’d never happen.

Fans gonna have to deal with the Dez talk all season because even when he signs elsewhere it’s gonna be a hot topic. When TO got cut all everyone talked about was I’d the offense was gonna be the same without TO.

We beat Tampa in 2009 big and the first thing out of Roy “Hands of stone” Williams is “35 points...without TO.” We proceed to go 2-2 and the offense is stagnant in a Denver loss. Roy gets hurt along with Sam Hurd which gives Miles Austin (4th on the depth chart at the time) an opportunity to start. He goes off for 250 yards in a win against KC and all of a sudden we found our #1 threat and we go onto win the division.

Maybe history repeats itself because these boys play well when there’s no pressure.

Cowboys always play well when there is no pressure. They only are mediocre the following season when they get high expectactions.

Problem is the pressure starts when the playoffs start lol. Look at ever first playoff game under Garrett. Lions were kicking our ass and Green Bay was kicking our ass. Why aren’t we prepared when the real bullets fly? :jbhmm: Garrett better thank twill for going ham on Detroit with that long td. If he doesn’t score that we probably lose that game.
