Gutsy performance. They overcame adversity tonight. They answered the bell and delivered the knockout blows. On the road against a good team. Pay dez. Praise Tony. My concern is, after a physical game like tonight, is coming back and beating indy. Murray took a pounding tonight. This team seems to have what it takes to overcome that.

This was a huge win. Nobody can say they can't win big games.

Rejoice.

Not as big as the playoff win, but huge for sure.

It is bigger to me. Philly that year wasn't that good. We beat them the week before. This win was different. Philly beat us 2 weeks ago. Embarrassingly. This was vengeance. Kept us alive for the playoffs. I loved it. Tony made the people realize he can win big games.

Big big win. Almost up there with the playoff W against them. Almost.

This was a de facto playoff game. They showed guts. Something I haven't seen in awhile. I'm proud. This was huge. This team has deficiencies, but they have the intestinal fortitude it takes to go far in the playoffs.

The Super Bowl in 1995 seemed like a bigger win to me. But, that's just me.

I would say that this is the biggest win since then because the team is young, the coach is young, we seem to be taking a step in the right direction. The win against them in the playoffs in 2009 was great and all, but I think the team was regressing and was kinda at its peak and needed make something more than that. Plus, supposedly the franchise is pretty much done with players that are 30+ years old now, so the team should be built the right way instead of 2009 when we would fully invest in a player over 30-years old and then the next season they would get injured and it would really hamstring us.

Great win, but we still have 2 games left to win before we can celebrate anything. Much like the playoff win back in '09.

OK 19 years.
but yeah.
I agree.
still have to win out or hope philly loses.
This was a physical game
I worry about us being able to turn around and play another playoff team.

Game ball goes to?




Dez Bryant and the defensive front 4. We got some sacks tonight. And stopped LeSean Mccoy.

No gimmes. Colts are a dangerous team and I'd take Luck as my QB over any other in the league if I was starting a team. And you can't overlook the Skins - need I remind you of some guy named Colt McCoy.

One thing's for sure: if this ship sinks, we only have ourselves to blame now.

This is the kind of win that propels teams into the playoffs-- I think we win the next 2 games and finish as the #3 seed, possibly even the #2.

Indy has the division sown up, and their D has gotten lit up whenever they have faced a top 10 QB. Guess what. We need the W and I think we win a shoot out next week and then mercifully put the Skins out of their misery.

It's all in front of us. It starts up front with the OL-- with those guys blocking, our skill position players and elite QB play will keep us is any game we play.

Big win......now next week is even bigger. I really think they will have to win out to just get in the playoffs. I don't see the eagles losing again.

Indy is not good against the run. Which is great for us. Murray has a great match up if he's not worn out from this physical game
