Yep. If Jaylon produces even at 3/4 of what they expect, this could go down as our best draft ever. No hyperbole.Aside from Dak Prescott, Anthony Brown has been the biggest surprise of the Cowboys' draft, IMO.

I have replaced my TMSAW with QC (Quiet Confidence)...mostly because I don't know how to handle success.
Indeed.No shit. This really is difficult to handle.
For the first time in a very long time, I am supremely confident in winning. Just like towards the end of that Steelers game, I posted that I felt like we were going to win it. It's strangely eerie, to be honest.Indeed.
The crazy thing for me is that with all this success comes new expectations. Unlike 2014, I'm having trouble keeping my expectations down.
See, in 2014, I bought into that team and felt they were a legit SB contender (and they were). They showed character and heart and did us proud with how they finished the season. They eventually lost to a Green Bay team that they should've beat, but it wasn't a choke job or some humiliating loss. They just happened to learn a tough lesson about not taking advantage of your opportunities in a game at that stage of the season.
Because the Cowboys had let me down so many times in previous seasons, I always kept my expectations down. I believed in them, but I stayed even keel even into the playoffs. So while I was disappointed after that GB loss, I wasn't heartbroken.
But now? Man......I find myself truly dreaming about the SB and am looking ahead for the first time in ages. But with that now comes the nervous shats feeling I haven't had in so long because now I'm also afraid of losing.
This team has what it takes to get there. I know they do. The defense will be a problem at times, but I think we can overcome it.
I just hope this team doesn't break my heart this year.
It's teh ghey, I know....but it's been awesome to love this team like I used to as kid again and I just hope that's followed by the successes of those teams as well.
Oh, I believe in them.....don't get me wrong.For the first time in a very long time, I am supremely confident in winning. Just like towards the end of that Steelers game, I posted that I felt like we were going to win it. It's strangely eerie, to be honest.
Gotcha.Oh, I believe in them.....don't get me wrong.
But what I mean is, I got so used to them failing when it mattered that I just stopped caring. I expected them to lose in every big game and never felt like they could fight back late in a game when they were down. That's why I reached a point where I literally did not care when they lost.
Oh, lose a key game? Meh. Blow another 4th quarter lead?
But now I believe and now it matters. So with expecting more comes the disappointment of when you don't get it done.
It's the latter that I can't say I missed the last few years, but it's too late to go back now.
I am all in.
He would have probably thrown it short to a running back and had him throw it away after the catch.Wentz would have made that throw.
Can't do QC. That's Quinthy.I have replaced my TMSAW with QC (Quiet Confidence)...mostly because I don't know how to handle success.
I was expecting more.
I'm not sure why the refs didn't let it play out and allow it to be reviewed/challenged afterwards.Hopkins was in bounds. What the hell?
I was checking them out as well since I've heard people talk them up the last few weeks.Checking out the Raiders OL. Supposedly they are threatening our's as the best in the sport.
Their offense is every bit as good as ours, if not more explosive at times.Checking out the Raiders OL. Supposedly they are threatening our's as the best in the sport.
So far, I just don't see it. I know they did a good job against the Broncos, but they look good, not our level great.I was checking them out as well since I've heard people talk them up the last few weeks.
They can't run the ball with the same consistency we do. Not even close.Their offense is every bit as good as ours, if not more explosive at times.
