Cowboys save the season with historic comeback

[conner01]

21 point comeback ties the franchise record for greatest in Cowboys history. And with any hopes of remaining in contention for playoffs on the line arguably the greatest win in several years.

This team has some fight left in it. After digging a hole with multiple turnovers early it was feeling like it was over at 21-0.

Defense shut down the Egirls after early in 2nd second quarter to hang on. Even after a very questionable 4th down failed attempt at the goal line where Cowboys chose not to take the lead with a chip shot FG with about 3 minutes left .

Fortunately defense made one more great stop to allow Dak to finish off a comeback for the ages.

Avoiding falling to 4-6-1 and basically all but ending the season the Cowboys have their first consecutive wins this season. And a win against the SB Chumps provides the confidence needed for this brutal schedule upcoming to stay alive and in contention for a playoff spot.

To me this win is not just a win. It’s a bit bigger than that. The comeback took offense, defense and special teams to pull off. A whole team effort that could really impact ghe team going forward

Maybe, I just think Jerry wouldn't have been looking to trade for Q without those extra first round picks and horrific defensive play. The loss of Micah was the catalyst for the trade.

Isn't that part of the problem - e.g., if the defense had better players in 2014 then that team could have easily gone all the way but it really had no chance given they relied on the offense and time of possession to carry them through.

With the acquisitions of Pickens and Devante Williams, if the defense had Williams in addition to Parsons it feels like this season could have been one to behold.

As it is, the team will either just make or miss the play off then next season it's all about trying to keep Pickens, Williams, Clark etc.

I could be wrong but it just feels like a missed opportunity especially given how open the AFC is without a dominant team and the Rams the only class of the NFC.

Appreciate that it has been said before but had the front office kept Parsons and added Williams then this would be serious play off team with in my view, only the Rams to worry about in the NFC. Eagles are very good but beatable as shown last night. That's the real shame to me. I love the Williams acquisition but just wish we also had Parsons on the outside to feast.

Except you wouldn’t have got Williams without the trade. The extra picks is what made ghe trade such a no brainer
