offense is not firing on all cylinders with or without our main guys and i don't know why.
but lost in that sputtering is the rise of this defense capable of shutting people down and winning the day.
i've seen defenses like that carry a team to a lombardi.
that could happen here.
this defense is super bowl caliber.

Look at the BRIGHT side!
We have a D that has the potential to be dominant!
If this team stops making stupid mistakes and yes, if Dak just drives the bus and doesn’t try to do to much, this team has a legitimate chance to win a Super Bowl!

Fully agree. I just expected more from the offense since we have so many weapons. But the D coming along is definitely an upside. Defense wins championships.

Doesn't matter how you win, just get the win. It's not like you get extra points for winning with style or posting huge numbers.

Playoffs are win and advance and good teams find ways to win regardless if everything isn't rainbows and butterflies.

I much rather get a sloppy and ugly win than post all these amazing stats and numbers but lose

Zeke and the run game continues to suck. Dak and the passing game sucked equally as bad today.

However the D looking as good as it did will win us a lot of games.

Offense is troubling, but we have 4 weeks.
and its fun, its been a LONG LONG time since this team was a turnover machine and an interception machine. Gregory and Parsons are "appointment tv" to use an old phrase

and 5 sacks today too, we may end up in the top 5 in team sacks at this rate

If the D is like this in at least half of their remaining games then it will be a fun year

It sucks that I can’t feel good after a big division win but Prescott and the offense played so poorly that I can’t. The funk continues and unless it’s fixed, we can’t be serious contenders.
Lol! If you can't feel good about a win, you don't know crap! Pathetic....

yes it does matter, of course it matters, when you are thinking forward about how you feel this team may play against Tampa, Rams, Cards, Packers you darn sure wins are not just enough

He certainly looks tentative, especially while running. Not sure what's going on, but I'm counting on the Cowboys kicking a## again.

Nobody said they would.

you’re doing a lot of putting words in my mouth. None of them are things I said. “Y’all y’all y’all”. I’m not “y’all” and you’re projecting things other people said on to me.

you want to worry about the offense. Go right ahead. I don’t care one little bit if you do. That’s your right.

That being said. Just because they’re struggling now. Doesn’t mean they can’t get back on track by the playoffs. So I am going to continue to hope that they do.

What are you ranting about? Relax dude. It's not that serious.

I hate to be negative too but Dak did suck today and say what you want but Pollard is better right now than Zeke

cant blame you for feeling this. All the "a win is a win" people are not forward thinkers

I’m not ranting. You’re the one who mentioned to me about not showing enough concern about the offense for your liking.

I’m just letting you know that I didn’t say any of the things you said i did.

I guess Dak just isn’t mad anymore.
It's hard to be mad when you're sleeping in silk pajamas.

Dak's dreams have come true. He doesn't have to work hard anymore. He's no longer that firey 4th round pick trying to prove something. He's toast and he's taking the team with him.

I totally agree....but here's the good news....

Weve seen success from this offense before so there's the hope it can still happen.

The good news is we finally have a decent defense.

Still, the offense needs to carry this team moving ahead and they have to get it right.

I can't believe this is about a calf injury.

I’m enjoying the win man.
I am worried about Dak and the offense.

but they have 4 more games to get back on track.

If they win and advance in the playoffs. Nobody will care about this streak of struggling.

so the ball is still in their court.

but Dak does need to figure it out by playoff time.

This is where I am after today. All week long some had the Cowboys losing this game outright and they won it. They are 9-4 and in control of the division. There are concerns that I have about Dak and this offense, but I hope they figure things out in time enough for the playoffs.

The way the offense is going this team isn't getting pass the first round if they keep this up.

But they wasn't playing those teams were they. Not only that but each game is different so this dumb logic that "if Dallas plays like that in the playoffs means they will lose"

Every game is different. Enjoy the win and get ready next week
