Am I the only one who doesn't think this loss was devastating?

Stinks to lose, but really? This is just not a good team. We all knew that.

I agree...to an extent. The thing is, you're right; this isn't a good team...but they're always good enough to be in these positions at the end of the season - they're always good enough to make these late December games meaningful in some way...

That's what makes these games such a tough pill to swallow. That it's right there for the taking...and something always goes wrong.

Not really. Didn't expect to win and frankly I was shocked we were still in it at the 2:00 warning.

Nope. i am right with you on this. this was a bad team. even if we had won today, it would have been one and out.the Saints would have killed us again.

I thought Dallas fought hard and looked prepared with low penalties.

Agree. Even with Romo out, we pretty much lost because of the first half turnovers. One was DeMarco's first fumble of the year and the other was a complete fluke from Witten that is usually money in the bank. I'm not that worked up about it because whoever won this game will get killed by New Orleans, but Dallas actually played pretty well considering the injuries and how inexperienced Heath and Wilcox are.

In all honesty, the game was lost when Murray fumbled the ball at the open. Ruined the mojo and turned the field right around. Don't get me started on Witten's tip-pick.

Totally agree. I'm an optimist generally but after the Witten pick, I thought we would definitely lose unless we were +3 in turnovers in the second half. We were +1.

It bothers me that this loss really doesn't bother me much at all. LOL. Apathy. It set in a few seasons ago. I used to be depressed for a couple of weeks when our season ended. Now it just really doesn't matter that much. When the organization has basically been irrelevant for over a decade, why should it matter?

Just to point out, that pick wasn't Witten's fault. The pass was thrown behind him and he had to try to reach back for it.

KC SD DET & GB were devastating because if they win those games then this 1 wouldn't have even mattered.

Mehh, overall I think its a very flukey play you won't see again for ten years. Witten should have caught the ball or knocked it down and Orton should have lead him better. On top of all that the ball dropped right into the LB's hands. I'm not assigning blame, I'm saying it was pretty much a lightning strike.

Nope..........not devastated.............I knew we would lose.

We are never going to win a division title as long as we have Mr. "Head Coach In Training".

It's become what we all expect, so sure it stings for a minute, but most of us are really numb to these losses now.

Cowboys fans should be outraged tonight...thanks to the asinine GM and coaching staff, Dallas once again is setting at home...damn shame the players showed up tonight but not the coaching staff...

The outcome of this game wasn't that big of a deal. I thought we would get blown out, but a nice INT to the end the game. well different QB same result. It's the other games that bother me the ones we need to win. GB, Det, and others that are just one big blur…We lose by a point here a point their cant overcome that in todays NFL every game counts have to find a way to pull out each game, not wait till the last game to squeak into playoffs, The only one it hurt was Jerry last night no home game means no $$$$$$$. Im not happy they lost but you know what its better then getting destroyed at home and Jerry making $$$$ from it
