I really think they used this game to experiment.. Tried to experiment on Offense, perhaps the play calling and definitely Dak. He could have kept it going and actually had amazing stats if he wanted to. But he threw a pick that there was 0 excuse for other than trying to be cute or greedy, he could have ran that ball himself and did well. He held a sack (by taco) that was just dumb. I watched him earlier throw it away on a harder play.

Cooper had his drop that was right there. Elliot should have had 120 yards in the first half. He had 30 in the last 2 minutes.

We had a amazing 3rd quarter and we could have played that way the whole game.

If i am JG then i would be hot. Our Defense didn’t fire till the 3rd quarter.

We are soon going to go against teams that are much better all the way around. Going to end up in shoot outs. D-Law got paid and 3 games in just got his first sack. I noticed Quinn worked harder..

Hoping Gallop gets back soon. Dak tried a deep one to Devin and had a guy wide open underneath.

Just a game they played down to a team. Typical JG coached team. The Offense has changed and the Defense hasn’t improved . Our D-Line is putting way to much pressure on our secondary that is not getting picks.

Oh yeah and Heath has a good game... Lol..

The first half was typical of this team playing down to competition. I'm taking that with a grain of salt since we dominated the second half. They'll be ready for the Saints........
Why do people always say we play down to our competition, maybe our competition plays up to us - my dad always said the Cowboys are everyone's SuperBowl so we get their best effort.

I really hope your right. Was thinking maybe they just blow out teams they are supposed to...

Seemed like once they went up 10-0 the Cowboys took everything for granted.

At halftime they got a wake up call they played fine the rest of the game.

Hopefully it will be a lesson learned for this young team.
That would be great if it’s a lesson learned..

Notice the play of both teams first half vs second half and tell me what you think.......

That’s true but we are such a juggernaut on Offense that it shouldn’t have mattered. We played around and I am not sure if it was Dak taking the riskier routes or was Moore calling riskier plays. Either way we should have been running it and playing closer to the best like the 3rd quarter.. But I do see what your saying...

Both teams are professionals. To suspect the Dolphins were either so bad or would lie down is laughable.

The Dolphins played their best in the first half. Perhaps Dallas took the game lightly.

But the take-away from this game is Dallas went out and dominated the second half, playing close to their potential.

Hand wringing at this point is wasted.

Dumb post. As usual, when it's good it's somebody else, when it's not as good it's Garrett, where do these clowns come from...lol
Dumb post? I guess hopeless dreamer! Let me guess, Garrett just needs whatever "excuse" and were going all the way! He sucks get over it

I’d take Rosen as a back up here and Preston Williams

I will never complain about a 31-6 win. Can't bring myself to poke holes. 31 to fricken 6.

We had some cupcakes, but I fully expect us to be clicking in all areas of the game by week 6 or 7.

I do not think that the cowboys got cute today and let the dolphins get close in the first half it is just that cowboys did not execute. the defense needs to step there pass rush or there is going to be a lot points scored on them the next two weeks. I think that the offense missed gallop more then they thought.
