After several games with an offense struggling to score and move the ball effectively as it had in first half of season we appeared to overcome all in one night with an explosion scoring a record 42 in a half and most points in a regular season game in over 40 years with 56 points .

A game and score which should remain in our memories for years to come . However I had forgotten our last regular season 50+ explosion in 1980. While most recall our last 50+ point outburst in SB 27.

And our defense looked like it was playoff ready creating havoc and scoring of its own. A tremendous team effort .

Let’s hope this carries over and we didn’t shoot our wad in one glorious night. This was the kind of performance that gives us confidence we can hang with the Elite QB’s and teams in the conference making a deep push in the playoffs.

Dak was never in a slump. His surrounding teammates were. When they finally woke up and played as they should, it helped Dak perform like he can.

I think it's more accurate and important to look at the entire offense, including staff. Everyone stepped up and played better.

On top of that, the entire team was playing at a high level. Even Special Teams scored a TD. One of the best complete team wins I can remember.

Wasnt really a Dak slump. It was a health slump, but mainly an Oline slump. Which caused an effect all the way down the line.

Some of us told the cry babies and Dak trolls what the issues were. But like always, those that dont know football will wind up looking foolish. And when Smith gets back its going to get even more laughable.

This is the #1 defense in the NFL the way I see it. Rams and Cowboys. Our pass rush is off the charts. If this team can stay healthy I see us as a top 3 team in the NFL.

KC and GB right there with us.

Yep

A total team effort of epic proportions.

Id agree but regardless how all of the contributing factors were compiled the bottomline is our offense and QB were in a slump or whatever word of your choosing.

And we ended that last night.

It's because those who have not only played the sport but played it well truly understand what makes any offense tick.

A reeling Washington was just the slump buster we needed. The boys took care of business in all 3 phases of the game and absolutely dominated in 2 of them. From the offense I've been calling to see some fake handoffs, pre snap movements, creative run plays and we got it. I don't care that wash is a mess personal wise we still needed to ball out and they did. Seeing Dak run hard was also inspiring. Everyone brought their A game and it shows. Now let's roll the Cardinals and then stomp philthy into next year.
