Another Blowout Loss Would Have Been Better Going Forward

A loss is a loss....the film doesn't lie. Most fans enjoyed a little hope and that's good...that's what the game is for. Changes will be made, regardless. The question is, will Jerry move on quickly or give MM a few more games. If we lose Thursday, Friday would be a good day. That gives Harris 10 days til the next game. Reorganize the staff on the weekend and hit the ground running on Monday.

Not sure it will matter, the next 7 games are going to be very telling. 4 of them are on the road and all will be tough after the Giants game on Thursday Night

Don't fall for anything that happens in the Giants game.

They suck.

We have the Steelers, Lions, and 49ers after the Giants.
While i agree, have to hope they keep building and improving, don't know that I'm ready to give up on the season yet

This "comeback" is only going to make some people that should be fired already look competent.

The post game went from "wow, we're disappointed that this keeps happening. This will stop" to "We put up and good fight and didn't quit! I'm proud of the people in that locker".

A game that went from a blowout to a close loss is still a loss. They're still 1-2 after the game.

The difference now is it makes people that shouldn't look better look better.
Don't kid yourself....that was a blowout loss. Only dumb Dak homers will say that was a valiant loss. :facepalm:

Here’s the part people are having a hard time understanding, it’s much easier for a bad team to look good/better when trailing by a lot. There’s no pressure, and the opponent often times takes their foot off the gas and starts relaxing. The final score was not any indication of how much the ravens dominated and how bad the cowboys looked. That should be the focus, not the late scores when clearly the ravens started to relax. Even with that said, when the game was on the line of course the defense could’t get off the field and couldn’t execute the 2 two point conversion.

Ultimately its a 1-2 record either way. Honestly after watching the Giants today its a winnable game, but not the gimme many think it is.
The cowboys are a bad team, giants should be and rightfully so it’s a VERY winnable game for them.

This is exactly why Mountaineer said what he said.


Jerry “I like our personnel”

And then straight up lies about not being able to afford Henry. Which is just 100% a pure outright LIE

He pretty much said this after the blowout loss to the Saints. And claimed that the Cowboys were fine at the running game. Not sure that another blowout loss would have gotten Jerry to admit that he made some wrong roster decisions.

Don't for a second think that game won't be tough. Giants have a solid defense and the offense is gritty. We should win but this will not be an easy W

Yeah I agree. I love the fight this team showed at the end of the game, but I'm not sure that it's a reflection of the talent level

The late game theatrics will give some a sense of false hope, mainly the narcissistic owner who refuses to accept fault for any of this.
