I wouldn’t be surprised if we go 2-1 coming up. Aaron Donald just single handedly wrecked our offense and I don’t see the Falcons or Seahawks with a player that can do that. We’ll see.

Seattle blew them out - game wasn't nearly as close as the final score - but the level of efficiency I saw last night won't produce a blowout. Probably a similar type game, decided late.

Win/lose won't change my opinion of this team. I wasn't buying the Super Bowl talk before and I'm certainly not buying it now.

Agreed. Seattle looked sharp vs. Atlanta. I think our defense is going to get shredded, but I think Dak and the receivers will have a big day. I think Gallup is going to get a couple of long catches.

I think our team was over-hyped again. I think we will look better after week 3 when Collins comes back.

they have a better QB that la and better recievers. we needed 21 to beat the rams and failed. we will need 31-34 to beat the falcons

I wouldn't be surprised. We're headed for another 8-8 season, so we might have a 40 point game vs Atlanta but we'll lay an egg the next week. New coaching staff, same team. :)

It seems a lot of people are overreacting about this loss (guilty as charged). Though I can see where people are coming from, it’s literally only week one. You have to look at the circumstances. For one, we had no preseason. Everyone and I mean everyone has looked rusty to a degree. Cowboys being Cowboys, of course they look rustier than average. We almost never start the season looking good with the exception of last year (that was against the Giants tho...). In addition to that, we had a very strange offseason. I’m sure we all know why it’s been strange, but nonetheless, I’m sure this has caused some strength and conditioning trouble for certain players (Collins for example).

Long story short, what will your reaction be if Dallas blows out the Falcons, say 45-14? Will you overreact like we did with this loss and say we’re going to the Super Bowl? Will you call it a fluke and proceed to believe this team is a fraudulent team in a bad division?


Immediate reaction if we blow them out is: good we need to show what we can really do offensively.
At end of the season we will look back and say man we really beat up a weak atlanta team like last year or we showed we can beat a good atlanta team in rout to earning a playoff birth.

I will be happy for that win and get a neck tattoo to show fealty.

I think the Falcons are a completely different team.

McVay always outsmarts Dallas. Last year aside, he's always had our number. I hope I'm right and it's just that and very little else more.

That his QB can have such an easy day doing nothing except executing his simple screens and dumpoffs and still vastly outplay us, well.... I refer to the 2018 Playoff game. Same thing there.
Underrated coach. They go back to the Super Bowl if Goff isn’t their qb last year

I’m really doing my best to take this thing one game at a time.

I also expect growing pains. Almost completely new coaching staff. Shortened TC. No pre season. Honesty, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect growing pains and for it to take a while to get things going.

No it's not unreasonable, but I hope it won't take TOO long of a while. :(

Atlanta aint good, the Hawks had their way with even thought the scoreboard made it look like a somewhat close game.

The DNA of the Cowboys is to beat scrub teams and lose to anybody half way decent................so a win against sorry arse Atlanta is expected.
