I've been trying to find a historical defense that was decimated as badly as Dallas was this year and haven't found one yet. 6 of the 12 starters, counting the 3rd CB as a starter, were lost.

Pick any team in the NFL and take half the players off one side of the ball and you have a non-playoff team.
Well said!!!

Harris was great tonight.

The defense kept us in it until the end even with all the injuries.

Ogletree actually scored a TD. How's that for positive?

The Cowboys did have their best December in quite some time.

That wasn't even counting Ware playing as a shell of himself due to injury. Right now I'd put a healthy Dallas team against any team in the league. Ryan made chicken salad out of chicken poop...imagine what he could have done with a healthy D.

Plus, losing Costa, then Kowalski was probably the biggest loss of the year. Cook played admirably but it took half the season for the rest of the line to get his snap down and even then they struggled firing off.

Loved the way they competed!

I thought a lot of guys stepped up this year. You can be proud of some of your older guys and the leaders they have become. You can be proud of what some of the young guys seem to developing in to.

I thought the team made some really clutch plays this season. Obviously, they failed to make a lot of those too. Welcome to the NFL.

I hope for better luck with health next year.

I would love to see Garrett let someone else call the plays on offense. I would like to see more creativity on defense. I know it's tired and worn and everyone blames the coaches when things don't go right. I'm not trying to do that. Just thought that some more aggression might have served the team well at times.

the world didn't end so there is still chance for some of the younger fans to experience a Cowboys SB win in hopefully the near future.

Bailey is money, Harris is a keeper, Dez is a monster.

Thats pretty much it.
Bye Free and Bernadeau.
Bye Austin and Ogletree.
Bye Sensy and McCray.

Bye Garrett.

Kudos to the OL, FB and Murray for successfully running the ball when running plays were called.

(Shame on the Coaching for giving up on good running too early)

Trent Dilfer: "Tony [Romo] has greatness in him. I think when you talk to other people that really play the quarterback position, there's a few guys that really have incredible greatness in them, and Tony is one of them. I think the issue here is he needs more help from his teammates. I think they are not nearly as talented as people say they are, from 1 to 53. I'm talking about the total roster.”

This team was garbage when they were healthier.

Bruce Carter and Sean Lee showed me that there's something to drafting LB's in the second round.

1. This team didn't "quit" in a single game this season. They were clearly under-talented by the end of the year, and they fought to the very end in every single game. That's more than I can say for a lot of the teams they've fielded in the last decade.

2. The next time you see the Dallas Cowboys defense it will feature Sean Lee, Bruce Carter, and Barry Church instead of Dan Connor, Ernie Sims, and Eric Frampton.

This team only seems to compete when they're down.

A lot of player I'm impressed with.

But the general direction of the team unfortunately does not inspire me.

Matt Johnson was going to be healthy enough to practice next week.

Don't worry, he's going to be All-Pro once he suits up in 2016.

I kid, I kid as this is the positive thread. I hope he can actually play unlike Justin Beriault. Not counting on it, though.
