I loved them both.
About time we seen some of that.
I like the swagger. Tired of seeing it done against us. Payback. :D
Yeah, I get it, and I don't blame anyone for feeling that way. Just my personal preference to win with class and grace. I've never been one to rub my personal wins in other people's faces...unless they really asked for it...so maybe it's an extension of that.

They need to get in the end zone and hand the ball to the ref act like you been there before! Man I wish I could go back to the good ol days (90’s) when players had the class not to showboat.

I hope the coaches get on the players about stopping their early celebrations going into the endzone.
They need to get their butts in the endzone and then flaunt.
First it was Zeke against the Giants? high-stepping at the 5 yardline and then getting nailed by the defender. Then it was Lamb getting the same treatment against the Pats when he was going into the endzone.
Both instances came pretty close to the ball being knocked out or them suffering potential injuries after being tagged by he defenders. This may not seem like a big deal but they are little things that could turn into big things if they aren't careful.
Why?!

Players celebrate individual plays to grow their brand. It has nothing to do with team wins, that is a fan concept. Jaylon smith made himself a name doing this. He was "in" on tons of tackles and what do coaches/owners see? they see a guy celebrating cause he made a play even though in reality it was just padding stats to make him look good on paper.

On what planet were you on in the 90s? That’s when this stuff started…you never heard of Prime Time?
Prime time? Like the block of show on the tv schedule? Not sure what that has to do with nfl showboats. Unless you think the nfl scheduling night games caused the practice to sky rocket.

I agree. Them getting hit right after in the end zone (like Lamb jogging into the OT touchdown and Zeke's Deion like run) makes the touchdown less clean.

Getting in without getting hit looks more dominant.

They didn't come "pretty close" lol. When a player high steps or celebrate going into the end zone....its because they know they won't be catched. Zeke and Lamb knew exactly where the defender was.

I guess when you're 5-1 this is the stuff you have to complain about lol.
Lamb almost got shoved out before scoring. I hope it happens to make these guys think twice about doing it. OP’s right.

I was totally okay with Zeke high stepping in the endzone. He was just paying homage to a legend. Though I don't think he has the style pull off the 2nd part of Prime's endzone celebration. Very few players have been able duplicate it. The CeeDee celebration was a little different. But I'm not going to tell him "get off my lawn" because who knows, that defender might have been talking crap to him the whole game. I ain't going to lie, I've been talking crap too on social media because since social media was launched I've been ridiculed non-stop because my Cowboys hater friends KNOW that I'm a huge fan. I took sooo much crap during the Romo era so it feels good to give it back now. And boy am I doing it. :D Cowboys and their fans had swag during both SB eras, especially the 90's era, so I have no problem with this new era and us fans having some swag LONG AS THEY ARE BACKING IT UP, and they are!

But like saying goes, "He who laughs last laughs the loudest." So it might come back to bite me in the butt, but since I feel this team is building something special, us Cowboy fans who had to endure 20+ years of failure will have the last laugh this year. :cool:

I would go as far as no taunting after the touchdown.
Give the ball to the ref and get your arse to the sideline.

That's what I liked about Michael Irvin. He never showboated once that I can remember. He let his play do the talking.
