When you calm down for a second and think about it, are you really surprised by this team turning what was a prime spot to score the winning TD from the 6 yard line into a desperation last second play that comes up 5 yards short?

For most fanbases, what happened there at the end would probably stun some fanbases. But it shouldn't surprise ours. We live for moments like that. We thrive in incompetence in moments like that. It takes a special level of undiscipined, inept, stupid play to blow a 1st and goal from the 6 yard line with more than enough time to score and the game on the line. Roles reverses, does anyone doubt that Philly wouldn't have scored on us in that situation? Of course they would have. They aren't as dumb a team as we are.

A false start. Then your RT gets whipped to be compounded by your vet QB deciding not to chuck the ball away and live for the next 3 plays from the 11. Then chaos sets in and your QB costs you 5 more yards on a delay, to then not throw into the endzone, but rather short of it........... by 5 yards......... as the clock runs out.

If you had told a fan of another team that's how they lost a game, they'd say you made it up. You tell a Cowboys fan that's how they lost a winnable game against a good team, and pretty much all of us would say, "Yeah, that sounds about right............."

Nope. This has been on repeat for almost three decades.

I've grown numb to it.

Nope not surprised at all, my only condolence is that Jerry will never make it to the '**********' again.

If they’d have called TWO of the six holds I saw, that would have made a difference. The rest? Part of Dak’s foot hit the stripe inside the one, and Schoonmaker was two inches away—that’s how close it was. Other than that, BOTH sides had penalties and mistakes. Dallas had more yards and more first downs, and Dak had better stats than Hurts. The TEAM lost a close game in a good TEAM’S house. Period. Get over it. Tomorrow’s another day.

And it’s been happening for almost three decades. We are the best at finding ways to lose big games. I’m afraid a gm change is the only fix so there’s very little hope. Hell this is probably the high water mark this season.

The toughest part of all this for me is having to admit objectively that the eagles are just a better team. They made plays when they had to and we didn’t.

Yep. Same old plan w the same subpar results.

It’s all the refs fault. They cheated us on every play. We are an elite organization w a 28 year referee problem.

I had no expectations of them winning at any point they got to 1st and 6.
This was the most " on-brand" game I ever witnessed. But yes. 1and goal at the 6 and heaving a desperation crossing route 5 yards short of the end zone on the final play was not something the Hollywood writers out here could have made into a parody

That's another great descriptor like "anti-clutch".............. that game was "on-brand".

You’re tickled pink the Cowboys lost so you can make this tiny chest pounding thread.

I'm I surprised the defense folded like a chair in a big game? NO. That we got out coached again in a BIG game? NO. That our team didn't really show up for a BIG game? NO. Surprised Dak played well against the Eagles? NO. Surprised Jerry Jones did nothing to help the team at trade time? NO.
