dear fellow fanzone freaks---- i hate it too/.....there are suppose to be NO moral victories

but after sleeping on the heart break loss......we hung in there a ton better than Vegas

or anyone gave us credit....Dak played elite...O line played real good....defense may have

struggled when it counted but they got 4 TO's....that is certain victory anyone else until you

play the GOAT.. we know Brady is the GOAT....but both our offense and defense played tough

in very difficult enviornment against reigning and predicted super bowl champs this year....We

looked tougher...we did not meltdown....we did not..."mail it in"....like awesome heavy weight

match...toe to toe.....Zureline makes one more FG we win....or Zeke goes deeper on that cross

route in endzone we scrore TD and win...or or or...Team Loss or Team win.....There Are Moral

Victories...and last night was one of them...Look out NFC east.....
Let's say Dallas beats Tampa by 1 point. Someone goes up to Brady in the locker room and tells him his team had a moral victory. How do you think he responds? How do you think a 7 time SB winner and GOAT respond to being told his team had a moral victory? There's a reason why winners win.

Losing because of dropped passes, missed kicks and stupid penalties does fall into the "moral" category. It falls into the category of "you have to polish your game if you're going to beat the best" category.

I can hang with the team getting much better. The loss stings, but as long as they keep improving, I think they go much further. We beat ourselves this game. Of course, we played the Brady Bunch...

I'm less of a fan of the concept of "Moral Victory" in this context and more of a fan of learning from defeat so it won't happen again.

Just because we might have seen things to be hopeful about in a loss doesn't make it a "Moral Victory". It says there are parts there to make the machine work.

There are still clearly a lot of problems. Will they get fixed? Well, I certainly hope so. That doesn't mean I'm happy about the loss or feel any moral high ground for looking good against the Bucs.

Not admitting you're doing something right can be just as bad as not admitting you're doing something wrong. Fix the bad and make the good better.

The only victory last night belonged to the Bucs. I have seen multiple sources, including Skip Bayless, that are viewing the Cowboy’s loss as some kind of win. It is not. No way, no how. There was some bright spots that gives hope , but there was no win for the Cowboys. What has happened to the Cowboys and Cowboys fans? Has this once proud organization become such a failure that not losing in a blowout is seen as some kind of pathetic victory? It seems like the standards and expectations for this team sinks lower every year. Eagles , Giants and Washington fans must really enjoy seeing the Cowboys fans sinking this low. It was a loss and it would have been a really bad loss if Brady was playing well and not had the turnovers.

Like the NFC east is afraid of Dallas and all of their moral victories.

How many wins will Dallas have if they pile up 16 more moral victories? Big fat nothing. Zero.

You know the Cowboys actually beat the champs in this very game in 2012? They finished 8-8.

I think he is gutter slime. I have hated him since he made the claim that Aikman was gay, not that there is anything wrong with that. He was celebrating the loss at an epic level, which I can’t understand. Dallas lost. There is nothing to celebrate. A loss should not cause any joy or happiness.

Was not a moral victory but the team showed up ready to play.

Moral victories, much like participation trophies, are for losers.

I REFUSE to believe that Dak and co are allowing themselves to think of this as a moral victory. Simply competing is not good enough.

These men are well paid to play a game and WIN. There is no runner up trophy, no participation ribbons.

This is the goal:

I don’t even look at it as a morale victory.

The reality is we played a great game but so did the other team.
