Can't really argue. We stunk, and we're lucky we won that game. If we play like that against the Eagles and Raiders, it's going to be painful to watch.

22 - 7 in the second half. Could have been more one sided if Parcells hadn't made the strange decision on 4th down in the third quarter.

Exactly bro, what the hell was that? There were like 10 Cowboys fan at Mulligan's where I watched the game, we were all like 'what the hell are you doing?'

A win is a win and I'll take it, but Parcells betta crack the whip AND make better decisions than that himself.

I thought it was strange on two fronts. First, why go for it at that point of the game and on your own 30 yard line? Second, if you want to go for it why not just line up and go for it instead of trying to run a sneak? Because the play took WAY too long to fool anyone, and if you are going to do that you might as well just hand it to a RB in a regular formation.

When you outscore your opponent 22-7 in the second half, that is NOT luck.

Yeah the play took so long to develop after the shift that even I saw it coming, if they had just executed it more slyly, could've been a great play, but you can't come out all half cocked and shift half the offense on a 2 pt conversion. Call a timeout, rethink it, whatever.

We won the game, we're all happy about that, but even you have to agree that when you're playing come from behind football for the whole game against the worst team in the NFL, and you're giving up 3+ turnovers in the process to them, something is WRONG.

Our schedule just gets worse now, this isn't the time for sloppy play, and there are many reasons to be concerned.

The sloppy play came in the first half of the game. I'm writing it off to a hangover from a traumatic loss on Monday night. Coming back and winning showed a lot of heart, especially from our D since they were reeling from the end of last week and it showed the beginning of this week - but then they calmed down and played well in the second half today.

Um, is there really such thing as being lucky in football...? there are mistakes the the jose cortez(however you spell it) Field goal or the mark brunell underthrow or the drew bledsoe overthrow both heading to WR's in the Touchdown.

Oh and to the guy who said we should be 0-2 we should have won 16-7 in the bears game if charles tillman didnt hug chris cooley and make chris cooley push off and get called for pass interferance on the offence after catching a TD pass(which tillman did a similiar thing to chad johnson this week too) and if like i said before ... the the jose cortez(however you spell it) Field goal or the mark brunell underthrow or the drew bledsoe overthrow both heading to WR's in the Touchdown. it would of ended 21-20 Commanders anyway even if u did make that fg and got that touchdown and we got that touchdown in the first quarter to santana moss. So wed still be 2-0...and i think we can win the seahawk game if we stop alexander which ill admit is very very hard and make the hawks pass. and at the end of the day next week we will be 2-1, 3-0 and you guys will be 2-2, or 3-1(no offence but i seriously doubt u guys will be able to stop randy along with Ljordan with a young defence and all.)

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the fact my team made a comeback and came away with the win, that's all you really need in the end. But there's a thing called momentum and if we give the Raiders and Eagles anything like we gave the 49ers, I don't think we have much of a chance of winning. I will guarantee you Parcells is not happy with what he saw in the first half, watch out for the "fat cat syndrome". ;)

Oh, and Julius scored two touchdowns today -- or as many as the entire Commanders offense has this season. When's the last time Portis even scored a touchdown? Last November?
