Another Blowout Loss Would Have Been Better Going Forward

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.
This is the story of every single comeback win/loss in the history of sports... not very hard to understand.

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
Normally, I would agree with this...in this case, it would probably be easier to see improvements with a new face. Players tend to play out the string with lame duck HC

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.
This game was never close. A lucky onside kick, Daks fumble recovery, 4 dropped interceptions, and a safety that should’ve been a safety. We even got a 65 yarder! Ravens had over 100yards in penalties.

We literally got all the breaks our way this game and still got beaten with a stick

Jerry got his "moral victory" in the end. It's enough to keep the #1 fan interested and that's all that really matters.

100%. Delusional Jerry is already talking about the good take-aways. Need the Giants to beat them for Jerry to understand how bad they are.

I'm ok if they build on the last quarter and have a great game against the giants and start improving - they did some things better in the 2nd half...

Exactly, I appreciated the fight in the fourth quarter. If they can beat the Giants and keep building on it, who knows?

So, should we just give up on the season? I want to see us get better. I know the team isn't championship caliber, but I appreciate the fight they showed against the Ravens. I was asking for them to show some fight, and they finally did.

Jerry J. interview said it all. Thinks were right there!

Teams know they just have to double Lamb.. all the “tight windows” that they were talking about in the first half, the routes were basic. That’s the Dak offense for you..

Some of these "fans" want us to lose every game so we can draft a new QB and wind up like the Panthers

Well, newsflash, Dak's not going anywhere for at least 2 years. The running game and run defence is the issue. That's what needs fixing. But having heart and fight like what the team showed in the 4th can take a team surprisingly far.

I hope they finish 1-16, that‘s all the Joneses and the clowns who worship Dak and wanted to waste another half decade with him deserve.
