I can't really put any of this on our defense because, while some might say they played less than expected, they held NO to 12 pts and kept them out of the end zone.

This was Kellen Moore's 1st real litmus test. It's time to get back in the lab with Dak & regroup.

I'm actually encouraged by this because everyone on that offensive staff needed to feel this and it better to feel it early vs later in the season.

We needed more safety valve passes out of the backfield tonight. That would have kept NO from pinning their ears back. Where was Pollard? Much of this is on Kellen. He will snap back.

Exactly, losses suck, and we'll all make knee jerk reactions after them. The Offensive game plan was awful and predictable for most of the game. Despite all that this is the first game the defensive looked pretty good and the Cowboys are still 3-1.

Bad game by Dak.

Well bless your heart for trying to be positive. Going to be an ugly week around here.

We shy away from our strengths in this game. Saints didn’t want to get burned deep by playing two safeties back on passing plays. We didn’t even test them.

Agree.

We want teams playing 8 man vs Zeke.

Opens up passing game.

Unless you are Dak.

The defense played more than well enough to win. Pass rush has finally shown up.

Cowboys were only -2.5 point favorites at kick-off. Lost by 2. Not like we got blown out. This is NFL, it's an up and down league. The Rams got torched for 55 points today and they are absolutely still a Super Bowl favorite. I'll wait to jump off the ledge.
If we got blown out I would be more concerned.

They couldn't score TDs because our defense kept them out of the end zone. Lost by 2 points.

They were close to scoring TDs.

We lost TOP by 2 to 1.

Not a good defensive game at all.

This was close to a blow out .

Never thought a 12-10 score was close to a blowout but whatever....

Lol, sports fans are unbelievable sometimes. First there is reality then the delusional fan where blowout losses are now equal to 2 points. How 50% of this fan base is acting it's as if we just started 0-4, and got blown out by a playoff caliber team by 30 points.
