Simeon, as an old guy whose been around the block, I learned that D wins in the playoffs.
BUT I think the game has changed over the years with all the rule changes favoring QB's and WR's and the Cowboys have built a team for the new era. So here's how I see it playing out:
- Cowboys dominate possession in regular season with 30min + / game
- regulard season 13-3 and get 1st round bye
- Defence will be rested and less injuries by playoffs. Will also get back suspeneded players
- Playoff opponents relying more on D will be much more worn out
- Cowboys will take advantage of this and advance to Super Bowl
- We'll face the Broncos. Toss-up game.
Thoughts?
