Another grindy, character building game

[Praxit]

..yeah, I know. We lost.

The outset is, another game went down to wire. With one of the best in NFL.

They needed to respond, and did. We just didn't get the breaks.

But its ok, two games left. Eagles still have to play out.

 

[diamonddelts]

Lol. Dallas fans embrace mediocrity. Always close. What if. Somewhat. Character builder. We'll get 'em next year.

 

[big dog cowboy]

But its ok

Moral victories are for losers and monks.

Continuing to come up short in critical games isn’t going to build character. Our confidence winning on the road has to be shot. The loss yesterday has made the remaining two regular season games uninteresting. No matter what happens we’ll be on the road in the playoffs which is pretty much a death sentence the way we’ve performed on the road.

I agree there's gonna be a lot of overreactions and negativity and finger pointing and blaming trying to pick out who they think is the reason we lost and you're right it's a game of inches small things some calls we didn't get you know like the obvious one of city land being D pants and that's somehow not holding or pass interference all the holding again with the arm bars on Micah Parsons I mean when you walk down the field and get a touchdown and then all the defense has to do in a two-minute offense is just stop the team from getting in field goal range stop them from scoring and they did not that's it it came down to that they won the game they were at home they got most of the breaks as usual because you're at home but I don't see this as a somehow year killing game.

let me quote somebody on Facebook saying this game sealed our fate and there's no way we're winning games in the playoffs..hmm that's just really dumb. To me nothing matters down the stretch except for continue to work on your flaws and try to get better and have these games learn from whether you win them or lose them there's always something to learn the playoff games are the only ones that matter yes this was important for seating but we are already in the playoffs and the sky is falling sitting at the edge of a Cliff the whole season's over attitudes need to go away there's no one to blame they lost as a team once again you can go on all three phases and coaching and see the little things that lost this game....

I feel like in the playoffs we're gonna win I just feel it and I don't care what people are seeing right now..,..

We didn’t respond, we lost.

How can it be anything but OK we can't go back and fix the game we're already in the playoffs and if people really believe that anything that's happening right now are affecting us in the playoffs it is not I know there was some important seating but six weeks ago most of us were already thinking we were gonna at best be the fifth seed before San Francisco and the Philadelphia Eagles had their three-game losing streaks they put us back in contention for the number one seed and to win the division but before that everyone was already settled in to be the fifth seed and I have to play on the road and nothing has changed...

I don't believe anything that's happening right now is affecting the playoffs the playoffs are gonna be a one off it's a brand new season and I believe each one of these games are learning something from and losing isn't great because you can get learning lessons from a win or a loss and I'd rather be winning however this has gotta be humbling to lose two games in a row I mean we got our butts kicked in Buffalo but in this game you lose in a little different way we're very small little things lost this game it's still going to help the team stay focused and know they got a lot of things to fix because they can't be smelling themselves right now and in my opinion I believe that's gonna go a long way down the road because right now no matter how we finish this season we're still in the playoffs probably still had the fifth seed that we thought we were gonna be at and I believe in the playoffs it's wide open it's a brand new season and we're gonna play well and we're gonna win you have to believe that..

He is not saying it's OK to lose just trying to be positive instead of negative why all the negative responses you can't do anything once the game's over and there are losses you evaluate the game and then you move on just like the team our goal was to get in the playoffs so now until we play a game like this in the playoffs and lose there's nothing else that it really means except for we we had one regular season loss today that's it...

..takes lots of guts, to stick with it.

You made some good points, valid too.

Dallas stayed with one of the best down to the wire. So many things could be said. The what "ifs".

Point is well observed, by you, others and myself. We can beat anyone, IF we dont shoot ourselves first.

Grindy isn’t even a word. Gritty perhaps but not grindy.

Are you serious?

True there's no such thing as a moral victory but the Buffalo game was a complete disaster this was a close loss I feel you can learn anything from a win or a loss but in this case they're gonna keep hearing how they can't win on the road and can't beat a good team on the road the whole grass field thing and blah blah blah this has gotta be just one more step in a learning process no one wanted it to be this way but you gotta take what you can from a game and that's what they're gonna take from this game is why did they fumble why didn't Pollard try to stretch the play before that to the instead of trying to go up into the pile at the goal line why weren't some of those easy calls made you know like CD land being D pantsed I mean how is that not holding I don't know it can't be missed by anyone his whole ask was hanging out I mean Parsons still not getting calls I mean what did this guy do to the referees that he can go like almost four full games or more now without getting a holding penalty and there's some obvious and I mean biting holding call some of these gotta go our way sometime so I rather than not now but maybe in the playoffs the Cowboys will get some respect from whatever crews are gonna be calling those games

This team should be loaded with character after the last few years. It's time to actually win those games.

Thats the spirit !

I was pleasantly surprised how the team came out in the 2nd half. I saw some fire from both sides of the ball. Heck Dak lead them back to the lead with 3 mins left. Penalties were again a big part of the loss. Need to figure that out somehow.

At the end of the day, this team will always be out-physical-ed by the better teams and therein lies their biggest problem as there are too many individual match-ups being lost resulting in a loss of the LOS.

The offensive line has the talent and size to out physical opponents. For whatever reason, they look lost out there. How many offensive line coaches have they had the last 3 or 4 years?
