That was easy. It could've been even better, but I won't complain. 24-7 and around 500 yards of offense. I'll take that.

Nice win, we're 8-3. But we didnt exactly stomp on them the way we could have after getting up 17-0.

I was really disappointed in the overall play of the OL especially run blocking. They got 144 yds on 3 carries, and 51 on 22 others. Thast pretty lame, especially when the Raiders had been so bad defensively vs the run. Only so-so in pass protection.

Glad we're 8-3, but the kind of efforts we've seen the last 3 weeks aint gonna get it done vs NYG, San Diego and New Orleans.

I don't like that we gave up sack #25, the most hits Romo has taken in a season for his career

but we have 172 sacks since '07, most in that timespan in the league

Well you never know it might be good enough. Those other teams are going to have to play well and score on our defense. Just stop worrying and take one game at a time.

Will we ever let Tashard throw it out of the wildcat??

I have to disagree about the running game. All three RB's broke a long one and we did well finding lanes and breaking thru. 5.7 avg per rush is pretty good overall.

The pass game was a lot better. Sure we missed some opportunities but we still took advantage of what they gave us. Our defense played spectacular yet again.

I liked what I saw today even though it was against the Raiders. Asamugha was neutralized and Austin was able to get pass him on numerous occasions. That is a BIG confidence booster considering that he is regarded as the best CB in the league.

Big difference between the offenses of Oakland and Washington compared to these next 3 though, especially the QB position. Right now Brees, Rivers and E Manning have combined for 57 tds and only 24 picks, and we dont get picks against anybody.

Hopefully we can continue to slow people down, but I am really worried about these next 3 games.

I agree the oline was awful today if Tony had been Bledsoe he'd have been sacked 20 times. The run blocking was also pretty bad...Very Happy with the win but very concerned about the oline.

 

[Beast_from_East]

Great win, I know the Raiders are not that great but they did beat the Bengals last week and the Eagles a couple of weeks before that.

So they do have some talent and they are capable of winning against good teams. Thus, 24-7 is a very good game today from our Boyz.

At 8-3, it would take a monumental collaspe for us to not make the playoffs, we should at least get a wildcard even if we lose the division.

 

[Ren]

Nice to see Spencer finally getting some sacks maybe people will get off his back now. Dude has been playing great for a while now but people still had to whine.

 

[ThreeSportStar80]

Overall I'll say Dallas was pretty good... Offense started off a little slow but they turned it around, I'm glad they got the running game going. The defense played solid.

Well we have been pretty good on defense since Week 3 of this season and we faced some offenses and qb's similar to who is coming up.

I think every coach in the league would take 51 yards on 22 carries and a 3-for-144 set of outliers. It's certainly not 'pretty lame.' I agree that the pass protection was pretty weak.

The Cowboys played very, very well today against a bad team. I agree with you that we'll need to play better against the Giants, Chargers and Saints.

Man, we're spoiled. We win 24-7 and all I can think about are the opportunities we missed. Here's reminding myself on Thanksgiving to be thankful for what we've got.

Well, it wasn't 30-0, but it was still a beat down.

Where was the "almighty" Asomugha?

Was that him getting roasted by Miles Austin for a huge chunk of yards? That couldn't have been him, could it. I must have been hallucinating.

Why didn't Oakland put the "almighty one" on Austin instead of letting Austin catch 145 yards and 1 TD.

Did they get scared to shadow the "almighty" Asomugha after Austin roasted him for 59 yards?

He whiffed on Witten, too.

Enough about "the almighty one".

Felix busted a long TD, and he didn't hardly get the ball.

That has to change.

Come on, Wade Phillips and Jason Garrett. Don't let me down.

Feed Felix the rock.

You better get it to him more in December, or you could be in trouble.

(12-15 carries and passes in space)

The Cowboys will not win in December unless Felix Jones torches teams, especially the Giants, Eagles, Commanders, and Chargers. Felix Jones should be the difference in those games, and he can be if you feed him the rock.

In fact, all three RB need the rock, especially Felix Jones.

Jenkins and Newman didn't get any picks, but they both played some great football out there today. They tried to pick on Jenkins, but Jenkins won, big. Jenkins is playing at a Pro Bowl level. This is the same guy that many on the board didn't believe in last year. How do you like him now?

Ware and Spencer got their sacks.

Bring on the GIIIIIANTs.

Revenge will be sweet, and Dallas will beat them.

Thank you. I'm sitting here wondering what game they watched. Oakland had Seymour, Ellis and that OLB who is a pretty good player. Forget his name. Two quality CBs. They have the core for a good team on defense.

We scored on a decent defense and held them to seven points. We squandered a couple of opportunities but otherwise played well on offense. We did what we should have done. At least the offense woke up when it needed to.
