Did anything go the Cowboys way today besides the Giants losing

We didn’t lose today…

 

[Risen Star]

you want us to lose, you always are happier when we do, don't lie and say you aren't

Somebody burp him.

 

[TheHerd]

But you trust the Football team's offense that got 17 against Seattle and 17 against the Raiders?

To be fair,both those defenses are better than ours unless we turn on the turnover machine. This game cc will come down to turnovers.

 

[GoldenR]

His lack of touch on many of his passes is just head-shaking. I can't imagine making a big-time commitment to him.

The media talks "side arm Jackson" up so much the ravens will give him the bank based on" where would they be without ........"

 

[DripTooHard]

I won't be surprised one bit if we lose next week.

Well yeah. It adds the drama for the stretch run. We will have two opponents next week for sure, and probably some random COVID cases to even the playing field.

 

[TheHerd]

I dont know how that wasn't pass interference on that Sydney Jones

No star on his helmet. Only against us do the refs make a call to decide the game.

 

[mardwin]

One had prime Aaron Rodgers and the other didn't.

One had prime MVP Cam Newton, elite De, two stud RBs and HoF receiver.

 

[Rockport]

I bet @Rockport has his album!

And referee intervention / illnesses that will go unnamed

 

[Runwildboys]

Harbaugh should be fired for that! Ugh I hate Pissburgh!

I think he made the right choice, considering his defense today. The play was good. The execution sucked...and that's why he didn't trust them to win in OT.

 

[Runwildboys]

Troy Aikman.

No.

But Cowboys need to take care of their own business. Stating the obvious but man I want them to play tough hard nosed football down the stretch.

 

[Corso]

I was waxing silly on if anyone sang a Troy Aikman song at karaoke, would anyone know what it was and he threw that one out there.

He figured the chances of making 2 yards on one play were better than the odds of winning in OT, which were no better than 50-50 and likely worse, given what happened to their defense in the 4th quarter. I think it was a smart decision.

 

[Corso]

No.

Seriously. This needs to be simple.

Show run and heavy run. The opposing will fill the box because they all want to stop the run against Dallas.
Throw a shizz-ton of play-action and misdirections until the D can't play straight up any longer.

It's not THAT hard.

C'mon Kellen. Do a McVay. You wanna stop the run?
Misdirect and play-action until you make them honest.

 

[817Gill]

The 49ers stink.

The Rams ain’t that great either. The Niners ran all over them a few weeks back to the tune of 31-10.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

I think he made the right choice, considering his defense today. The play was good. The execution sucked...and that's why he didn't trust them to win in OT.

And how it sucked.

It matters huge time for playoff seeding. You DON'T want the #4 seed in the NFC.

Playoff seeding, except for the 1 seed, has never been more irrelevant as long as Ive been watching the NFL, and that goes back to 1977.
2,3,4 seed makes ZERO difference.

2 seed gets a second home game

I dont care.... again, makes ZERO difference.
