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.
Your not alone that was the foreshadowing of one and done . Dak is a mess needs to play with his instincts like he used to and stop trying to be Peyton Manning at all costs . Passing from the pocket is great but he needs to use his legs like he finally did to finish the game . He had to get pretty scared of blowing the game to finally run and move the chains .

A win is a win. The Deadskins had won 4 in a row to get to .500 and we ended their winning streak and pushed them back under .500. Good day for the Boys.

The ‘big money offensive line’ isn’t playing up to past reputation.

I believe thats because its reputation was so far in the past like when FredBeard was here Past and Badass couldnt carry Freds Jock . We really lost a lot when he left

I’m seeing bad signs from the offense. Defense looks very good.
But that's kind of the point. If this offense doesn't show signs of improvement in week 17 and 18, then we're in trouble. But
we've seen this offense look unstoppable for several games this year. Now this defense is playing lights out. If we can get both sides of the ball rolling in the playoffs, we could win it all. The offense was to crawl and claw it's way back to the top.

Yeah, he doesn’t look right. Making bad throws and boneheaded decisions.

If Tyron is out the only place its crawling is into the offseason

If I was a rival visiting the cowboys board I would have a lot of respect for how critically some of us look at our team.

lot of fun players and lot of good efforts out there. But this definitely ain’t good enough.

We can see it now.
We can see that rams -34/cowboys 17 score flashing after a rough Saturday night first round where they weren’t prepared and missed on key assignments and we once again wonder what if

My worry comes from them looking worse not better. They had a long break to get it right and look even worse. The defense carried them and handed them opportunities and they still looked bad.

To top it off, they almost have the game away.

I can understand this on some level, though I refuse to not enjoy or apologize for how these make it to the W column. Wins are just too tough to come by, I think. Again, I get the value of upward trend as we’re now playing December football.

If there’s anything tainting the euphoria today, it’s the injuries to our bookends. But I’ve yet to hear updates on Collins or Smith.

I’m not apologizing or feeling bad that they won. Just can’t feel good about it because of how poorly the offense played.

Whoa, I was crying? It was called sarcasm. Next time, I will color-code it.

The point is that I was asking you who says they will. Every time, our team plays crappy, were supposed to ignore it and act like this team is not under-performing in certain areas. The fact, that you couldn't answer my question and immediately got offended is not my problem. Like you said, it's your right. Have at it.


I will man. Like I said. You’re free to worry about the offense.

but I’m also free to hope they can get things together by the playoffs and see nothing wrong with enjoying the win after the team effectively clinched the division.


My biggest issue with your original response was you claiming I said a bunch of things I never said.

The line gave him time today mostly because Skins were down to the scrubs but he is holding it too long . Looks like Romo . IMO Injury has disrupted his internal clock in years past he would go through a couple reads then take off and move the sticks .
His instincts have been replaced with doubt and fear , He is not making decisions near quickly enough .

The decision making is my concern because typically he makes good decisions. He's not getting pressured... I don't know if receivers aren't getting open, he's not seeing the open receiver or they're taking away Schultz so he's oblivious after that. But whatever the problems are, they need to be fixed while we have a little time left.

We agree on hoping the team gets better in all 3 phrases of the game.I'm definitely happy we won. I just hope we are not setting up for a total collapse if the offense can't get going again. We have the team to make a nice run. So I like your optimism.

That’s your problem. I feel GREAT!
You are what your record says you are. We are 9-4, among the best teams in the NFC….PERIOD!
