Back away from the cliff, remove the bullet from the chamber, we'll be fine

The season isn't over. But we need to steal some wins before Romo returns.

The takeaway from Sunday is we missed a great opportunity to do exactly that.

I agree and that is why yesterday loss stings, being in a position to win and letting it get away.

Honestly, my focus now is one game at a time. But, really, I'm more interested in making the playoffs. I have not been as optimistic about previous Cowboys teams because I felt they were "soft."
But I honestly believe if this teams makes the playoffs, they will make some noise.
I think the team is built for the long haul. I think the offensive line will gel, and the defense will get even stronger. I like the acquisition of CMike, and I believe he'll be starting by the middle of the season. And I think we'll be back to last season's form down the stretch but with more talent on defense.

Of course, all this is predicated on not having any more injuries and getting those now injured back on the field and them staying healthy.

Until then, we'll do enough on offense to get by and our defense will be x10 better when Hardy, Randy and Ro return. I feel THAT confident in the ability of those three.

I don't feel in the least bit panicky.


And thats a great way to look at it. And I agree.....if things go right, no more injuries, etc etc....built for the long haul, get some players back..........I agree. We do have a decent chance of making noise in the playoffs.


Thats if we make the playoffs. We have to Win the NFCE..... only one team is going from that division. And we are getting ready for a bit of a rough patch here in the next 6-8 weeks......

I hope you're right. But, I think we really miss Terrell McClain. And I don't know if DeMarcus Lawrence provides us with much other than hustle.

I forgot all about the blood full moon. That explains EVERYTHING! :)

Did a little research on this subject. Yesterday was the only time in history that Dallas has lost on the same day that a Full Blood Moon total eclipse occurred (in fact, it was the first game they ever played with such an occurrence). Let's just hope that it's a while before that happens again. No more of this:

On the bright side, we played a very good Falcons team without, let's see, Dez, Romo, Hardy, Gregory, Mincey, Ro and a less-than-healthy Witten, and we almost beat them.
Are most of us missing this in our mourning over a loss? We have four blue-chipper players who were absent this game and another who was hobbled, and we almost blew out the Falcons - who will likely win their division.
While I wanted to win, I'm not in the least bit discouraged.
We're going to get Hardy and Ro back. Mark my words. This defense is going to get IMMENSELY better when those two come back. And you add Gregory to the mix?
I would hate for some of you to end it all and miss what's coming. :)

I think if we play them when we are at full strength, we don't see the same outcome.

Although I think those players will make us more competetive; ....as long as Romo is out, I think we will be lucky to Win any games.... And he is out for quite some time; The Saints and Bucs are all of sudden tough games and questionable whether we pull out a W.

I know, I know, any given sunday , we will bounce back, the NFL is all about parity. Long season....etc etc...

But guys; It doesnt look good at all. Who is putting money on the Cowboys(without any help) to win? Pats? Seahawks? Carolina? Philly, NY? You putting money on the Cowboys to win those games?

yeah, we might pull out a few....maybe even 3. maybe..... but not much more then that;

Unless Cassell lights it up a little....

You realize Romo will play against the Panthers right?

Who expected us to win comfortably yesterday? Not me.
Who expected Weeden to throw one pick and us to have 28 points? Not me.
Perception is everything.

Looked like the board thought that we would win by almost a 5-3 voting margin.
