In all seriousness, I’m not that worried about the Cowboys seeding right now. The reason I feel that way is I honestly believe this team is capable of a deep playoff run because they are capable. It will be a taller hill to climb for sure, but great teams are measured by what they overcome. The mental toughness it will take to win on the road in the playoffs is something this team can and must do.
So, I say embrace the challenge. I love the idea of winning 3 road playoff games against higher seeds. Why not? If you want to be great, you have to beat the best.
Here’s a short list of what this team must do to be tough enough to win a bunch of road playoff games:
- Play your best football from now on. Crisp execution with mental and physical toughness.
- Reduce the pre-snap penalties and other careless errors.
- Win the turnover battle.
- Make and accept no excuses. Just find a way to win.
- Stay as healthy as possible.
Sure, that is a “water is wet” list. But it’s true.
Hoping this team embraces whatever seed they accomplish. There’s still a lot of football left to play.
Here‘s hoping they embrace the challenge.
