Cool i'm enjoying wins over all divisional opponents. Especially since so many said the WFT was hot and would win.

Unfortunately, none of these divisional opponents will be in the playoffs for Dallas to beat up on. I know we say a win is a win....and it is. But i am expecting this offense to show improvement the last several weeks and it ain't happening. Especially Dak. They need to start showing something coming down the stretch or it will be a quick exit in the playoffs.

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.

Just stop dude. What happened to winning is all that matters? Did we win? Or Lose? Tell me.

Did I say anything about not being happy about a win?

I don't have to pretend everything is fine just because we beat Washington. This team is in trouble when it goes against a good team and that's because of Dak's play.

Remind me again. How great was Eli Manning in 2007? I am concerned about the O big time right now. Something isnt right. And if its Dak playing thru an injury the coaches need to sit his butt down and say you're hurting the team. Same as Zeke. Since that Patriots game Dak hasnt looked like the same guy. All I am saying is. Enjoy the win. No point in harping on things we cant control. You ever see the serenity prayer? lol

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.

You might need to see a therapist about that... I feel great! Before this game all the talk was how big this game was in the division race and how we could be letting WFT back in it.

Well that was shut down. I do hope we look better going forward but plus 1 in the win column counts the same no matter how it's earned.

Gotta agree. Dak did not play well, nor did the offense as a whole.

The other thing that puts a little damper on things is I think the coaches are largely responsible for the score being close. Seemed to me they started trying to coast about the middle to late part of the 3rd quarter, as if the game was already decided. Ultra conservative play calling, pulling players out of the game etc ... It was way too early. And it affected the mindset of the players - the message was they could relax, and they had to overcome that when asked to go back in and stop the surge by Washington

My personal opinion, I think Jerry and Stephen's comments about Dak after the Minnesota Game have been bouncing around inside his head. He seems to be hesitant about running now and for some reason is pressing instead of just of playing. A lot of his mistakes is because he wants to make the throw but the circumstances say otherwise. Both INTs were bad throws. Also I have noticed he is like Romo and does not throw the ball away on a play that the defense has has sniffed out.

2007 Eli Manning was better than Dak and this defense isn't THAT good. You're being a prisoner of the moment after watching them against a hurt WR/TE playing QB and Taylor Heinicke. They just gave up 36 to the Raiders two games ago.

Dak isn't physically injured, he might mentally be toast, because his decision making the problem and he plays scared to death.

I enjoy the win. It's on to the next one now.

Again. You bring this up? The WFT defense allowed the Raiders to score 13 points. What is your point man? Taylor Heinicke beat the Buccaneers too. Just saying.

And what does that have to do with anything at all?

Does that somehow, in your mind, make us better than the Bucs even though they've beaten us?

With 3 game lead and 4 to play, they will win East, but lose in playoff game to Rams

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 .

He had Zeke wide open streaking on that play and finally decided to just run the thing. That’s what I’ve noticed differently about him this year. He’s had plenty of room to run and make the first down and he’s looking to throw now. It’s hurting his game.
