Whew…. Glad we won. Some thoughts:

1. Despite the GW kick… special teams coaching is trash. Made bad decisions all game and we got lucky GZ bailed us out

2. Dak was pedestrian. The INT was terrible. Last week he looked elite. Today— he looked average at best

3. The running game was awesome and won us the game… clutch first downs, big plays, and wore down the LAC D. Very impressive

4. Steele played very, very well. Proud of the kid.

5. Defense looked scrappy and gritty again. Loved the turnovers and they look much better than last year— especially considering how short handed we were

6. Micah Parsons. Kid is a BEAST. Unreal game. Disruptive and nasty all day long. Defense is fun to watch again

7. Coaching was unimpressive. Horrid clock and game management at the 2 min mark. McCarthy has only made me more concerned about his ability despite the fact we won

8. Refs suck. Calls finally went “our way” and we are used to being the ones getting screwed— but it sucks to even win with their help. They are hurting the quality of the product and the Nfl doesn’t seem to care a bit about it

Enjoy the win! Glad we get some home cooking for 3 weeks now!!

Yes to all!

Chargers were hurt bad by their undisciplined play. Cowboys showed good restraint at critical times.
thank you!

we've seen Dallas lose games the same way the chargers have lost today

they were sloppy and undisciplined and thats what happens

Nobody is complain about the win. Complaining about bad play calling, complaining about sloppy execution… why shouldn’t we want better? The Boys need a decisive win, primarily over the she-gals next week

People are already saying we should have lost on this thread. Give it more time. I'm sure you'll see it through out the week.

Mike continues to make bad gametime decisions that we get bailed out of. That said, it's our second game and coming home with the W is amazing, regardless of the weird *** decisions

@BrAinPaiNt , Is there a reason you shut down the game day threads immediately? A lot of people have feeds that are a bit behind the live game. Maybe you could give it a minute or 2 for those people to post?

Hey, if you can't get behind a Cowboys win then just go out back and pound sand. You obviously don't understand how tough it is to win in the NFL. These players are the best of the best in the ENTIRE WORLD. The difference between teams is not much. To make excuses for San Diego losing just reeks of pathetic fandom.

I’m thrilled about the win but we got away with one. The Chargers beat themselves with penalties. It cost them at least 10 points. I live in a world of reality you clearly don’t.

Dak isn’t throwing anywhere close to 400 yards if a team plays that much zone. He’s an average QB, if not for the threat of the RG that was gaining yardage against the zone as well, which would naturally force another man in the box. The outside runs by Pollard against the zone were big.

I have no idea why teams continue to give us so much man looks, but I expect teams, start playing plenty of what the Chargers did. Why expose your DBs against

Dak doesn’t take risks against it.

If our defense didn’t hold down the fort, we taking Ls all day. Unlike us, San Diego basically relied way too much on Herbert’s arm without trying to run the ball until the end. And we played zone.

But overall a win is a win.

Today, Dallas took what the defense gave them. They were more balanced.

We are 1 and 1 playing on the road against 2 good teams. That’s about what we were hoping.

The reffing was atrocious on both sides.

The defense was not great today…but we are down some key pieces. And this d is no where me as bad as last seasons d.

I liked the game plan, run the ball keep their o off the field…we were trying to limit their offensive opportunities…

Go Cowboys…
