This Win is Fools Gold. Im not drinking the Kool-Aid again and have stopped doing it for a Long time.

The Cowboys have done this throughout the JG-Era. Whenever they and him have the back against the wall they play like this and win as an Underdog. Whenever it matters they fold like my old Camping chair.

This Season has been a disaster and one win against a winning Team doesnt make it much better.

I have seen this Movie too many Times under Jason Garrett.

It wouldnt surprise me if they lose to the Eagles next week or lose out.
It also wouldnt surprise me if they somehow make the Playoffs but get rolled in the first Round.

Will it be a successful season if we make the Playoffs with 8-8 or 9-7 and get smoked in the first Round?

For me a good season means you have improved from last year (exception if you are really rebuilding).
Last Seasons Team had a better record and won a Playoff game.

So for me if they wont make it past the Div.Round, this Season has been a Fail.

One Thing is for sure. As long as JG and Jerry have the saying this Team, as talented as they are will never overcome Coaching and Ownership.

You're probably right. My advice is just wait and see what happens.

It really doesn't cost you anything to enjoy a nice win and look forward to the next game. Which will be a meaningful one.

Does it?

We can settle up after the dust settles later on.

What a dirty rotten stinking position to hold if you really think you are a Cowboys fan. The team played well and won a game so just enjoy it for what it is.

No matter how disappointing this season, this win proves that the team when well coaching prepared, focused and motivated can dominate an opponent. If we do get into the post season and progress further it means that not only the players but the coaches did their jobs. I am a believer in redemption even for a coach staff but they have to earn it right along with the players game by game. I don't think it is a given that we will go deep in the playoffs and if we can get a head coach that can bring the supporting staff and players to a consistent next level I am all for it.

It reminds me of the first 3 games.

Everyone thought the Cowboys were going 16-0.

A reminder it is, but it truly is not like the first 3 games. The Rams needed this win even more than we did. They not only had a winning record but were on a winning streak. They are in a tough competitive division. We also have tasted abject failure since those first 3 games.

No one said you have to drink anything. We get 16 regular season games a year. Try to enjoy actually winning one.

God only knows which Cowboys will show up next week.

Simple question:

Why hasn't this team played like this all year?

Not even the Ravens, Chiefs, Patriots, Saints, Vikings and 9rs have played like we did against the Rams all year. No team can keep churning 44 points and be dominating like this game after game all season. Our defense was very good yesterday as well. Of course the teams I mentioned have won more consistently and have been more competitive than us. I believe we are not going to wipe the floor with the Eagles but we are capable of beating them.

We should beat them. We are the better team. the Eagles are a dumpster fire.

i was thinking about coming in and posting something similar. it was fun to see the cowboys tear it up for a change. the problem is "for a change". inconsistency is their only consistency anymore. they can't do it week in and week out.

i'm just tired of this iteration of the cowboys. good enough to be not too bad, but never good enough to feel good about.

This team may be fools gold but not the win. They dominated a team that was hot coming in and needed a win. That was a legit win. Now they also had 10 days to prepare among other things. But you can’t say fools gold.
