Whatever, bro.

Go on being bitter that we're winning games without Dak.
Not at all. I’m very excited. Which led me to present a very positive thread which isn’t my norm as I’m usually more pessimistic about all aspects .

Just more trolling. You’re a one trick pony.

And if you want to continue making this about our QB,will just confirm your obsession.

I agree, the one spot I would have like to have seen a little more adjustment last night was tightening up in the middle to cut some of those Jones runs down, he gashed us multiple times…I did like the Wilson spy though and that helped

The coaching must receive their due winning again without their starting QB. A solid game plan focusing on running the ball and time consuming drives while the defense continues to put pressure on the QB as Cowboys lead the league in sacks .

And koodos out to Copper Rush. Another solid performance .

Cowboys coaching staff two games in a row have put together a sound strategy on both sides of the the ball in all facets of the game . And the team is responding .

Not many fans or critics anticipated the Cowboys responding in such fashion after losing their starting QB winning two games in a row keeping the season on. Well done !!
Yes sir. It was a fine effort by nearly everyone, the staff especially.

I wonder if Daks absence hasn’t created a certain sense of urgency within everyone else.

They have played some inspired football lately.

Dak lives in his head, I'm a Cowboys fan, do people really think I want to see Dallas lose because Rush in the game? I was an Aikman fan does that mean when Garrett was out playing and helping this team win I was pulling against Garrett? Cowboy fans are interested in 1 thing the Cowboys winning. This agenda driven crap gets old quickly.

They didn’t do much of that until the second half, and it did take us a while to adjust.

Nice prep for playing vs Hurts.

The real difference in teams overcoming their starting QB’s injury starts with defense , running game and solid play from backup QB. We done well in all facets.

I’m sure a positive stance on our coaching staff and status of the team will sink like a turd in a punch bowl in this forum. Sad but true. Lol
How the heck did you know that a turd will sink in a punch bowl??? :)

yeah, it was a bit frustrating in the first half when they rushed wide and he just stepped through and took off multiple times….hurts will be tough too

Yep. It almost looked designed…as if they knew they could get it.

Wasn’t all that worried…..I have more faith in Quinn as a DC than anyone that has coached here on either side of the ball since the Wade days.

yeah, this defense is actually fun to watch…it just makes the games so much less stressful, I don’t know about you but I am sick of scoring and then knowing we have to keep scoring to keep up…it got so frustrating year after year

Winning seems to mask the stench of poor play calling. Having said that our coaches did a better job of play calling last night.

There was one series that Moore crapped the bed. I believe it was the play where Brown got mugged. There is no doubt that we should have had a first down based on a penalty —but we had been mailing them in the run game. Why get away from what works?

I relish the win, but the margin of victory could have easily been greater but for a couple of Moore’s over aggressive play calls in critical situations.

What if Lamb doesn’t drop that one pass . Or the obvious Interference in End Zone is called . There’s potentially 2 TD’s that would have extended the lead .

Think overall we are too critical of play-calling and not as critical of execution and player performance .

In the end coaching has to place the players in position for success, the rest is up to them.

All of your comments are good points and are also valid.

We're just going to have to accept the fact that we have a great head coach.

I did not think it was a bad call, Giants had the line stacked playing 0 coverage, that was going to be an easy pick up and likely big yards. The refs blew the call no 2 ways about it. Was it an aggressive call? yes but there are times being aggressive is needed.

Only a troll would suggest benching Dak when he becomes available. Lol
Why would only a troll suggest this especially if Rush plays against Washington and the Cowboys win? Rush would be 4-0 as the starter whilst Prescott is 6-6 over the same period. Take away the contracts why would only a troll suggest Rush stays in and the front office play the hot hand?

That pitch right run play to Tyler Smith's side on 3rd and long was epic call. Hats off to Kellen Moore for calling that.

A strong defense makes such a huge difference.
When the Giants got the ball back for that last possession I was not as worried as usual.

I felt with the way the defense was playing they had little chance of driving down the field for a TD.
