In a game not many gave this team much of a chance being one of the highest underdogs at home in modern team history against the Bengals needing a win after losing their opener , this coaching staff came up with a game plan that worked and took control early on.

We also illustrated what is the best means to win without your starting QB with stout defense causing havoc and pressuring an opponents heralded elite QB which takes pressure off of your offense and backup QB.

But our backup QB rose to the occasion as well with big plays to extend drives and score. Possibly the most effective backup QB we’ve had since the 90’s.

Credit must be given to our OC for developing a game plan catering to the strengths we had on offense . Not to mention credit to our DC . Our HC took an early risk on 1st possession with a 4th down in our own territory which led to our 1st TD .

If that doesn’t work it could have changed the complexion of the game. When you have nothing to lose in a game most everyone doesn’t expect good results such risk can often turn the tide or set precedent and tempo.

This win not only keeps the season alive with more hope until our starting QB returns but it builds confidence moving forward. As a matter of fact even if we’d lost in the end I think our performance would have still given us confidence we can muster a few wins during this time.

This was definitely a How bout them Cowboys moment. Something most didn’t see coming. Well done Dallas Cowboys !!!

This looks like probably our best coaching staff since Parcells. I’ll be shocked if we can keep both coordinators after this year.

This is the mark of good coaching when you come up with good game plans without your QB against good teams.

And if at some point we can return to close of the offense we had last year when Dak returns along with Gallup and ultimately Tyron, perhaps we finally have enough of a defense to make a stronger push.

We certainly can’t say our coaching staff is holding us back.

Dan Quinn needs to work with his DBs on not hitting the QB when he slides.

This is a good post. You can count on 1 hand the number of games that Dallas has stolen over the past 15 years. They NEVER won a game they shouldn’t have under Garrett. Yesterday was a prime example of a steal. We sheeet on the coaches all the time here. They deserve a tone of credit for yesterday’s win. It was an absolute must win.

It's odd as I kept reading the coaching was horrific, the offensive line is horrible, the team struggle to run the ball and wide receivers drop too many passes. All of the above didn't apply to the games vs the Bengals this season and the Vikings last season - two good teams....weird. It really is most odd. I wonder what the common dominator is from all the other games which kneecapped the team...

Please……Quinn does but even he needs to stop dropping parsons into coverage like on the Higgins TD

It’s easier to coach when you don’t have a q b with a ego. Look at belichek and Brady. Bledsoe was a star. Brady was humble. It allowed him to coach his way.

Yep

And why they deserve credit for a game no one expected us to win. A mark of great coaching.

But positive threads don’t drive traffic here. Our administrator recognizes good post though .

Moore did the better job yesterday with less talent.
Moore had a good game yesterday. But I’m still not sold on him. I need to see some consistency. This is his 4th year serving as OC. If he doesn’t show us a lot more than he has the last 3 years, the tag “great young offensive mind” is going to lose its luster. We’ll see.

All he did was have the #1 offense last year .

Going to be tough having consistency without a QB who can’t stay healthy and consistent.
