Game Day Cowboys vs Commanders post game thread

[Jake]

Great win. 10-1 is not just being lucky. I'm not a fan of the bend-but-don't-break defense Dallas runs (definitely compensates for injury and talent issues), but it's surely doing enough, considering the offensive juggernaut, to keep this team in the W column....

We would all love to see Doomsday out there but we knew we didn't have that in August.

Did anyone expect to be 10-1? Seriously?

I'm enjoying the ride. Every team has flaws. That's why none of them have 10 wins.

For once I agree with Florio.

It should be mentioned that if the refs didn't call such an awful game that Dallas wins handily.

Expect this from here on out. Mara can't stand this ands he's on the phone with Roger right now.

Bingo. At no point in the second half did the Skins have the ball with a chance to take the lead. They were down 2 scores on every possession.

This is what the people panicking don't grasp. The D gave up just 6 1st half points, held the Skins scoreless in the 3rd. The idea was the offense would keep rolling, not get held scoreless in the 3rd quarter also. Our offense 3 and outing several times in the 3rd is what gassed our defense as the 4th quarter started.

We have been able to shield the D in the second half of games this year, but not in this game. It gave 20 4th quarter points. The dam will eventually break. Really glad the offense stepped up in the 4th to deliver 14 points and keep the lead and seal this win.

True but they will be hungry (lost to the Lions at end of game on terrible throw by Bradford) and have a good D. I believe they defend the run quite well. I'd love to have their D with our O'...just saying. That'll be a tough roadie. Wish we had 10 days instead of 7 ******.

They should have been hungrier today, taking over the lead in the division was on the line, Bradfords garbage, no run game, terrible throw at the end of the game that lost the game...I will say this though, I'd rather lose to the Vikings and beat the giants 10 days after that...but I'll settle for beating them both.

@ Pitt, then a tough D in Baltimore and finally a hot divisional opponent in Washington. 3 Ws in 12 days. That's an impressive stretch. Well done, America's Team.

Young and solid. I thought DMac or Morris might get more carries tonight but....Zeke is young and strong. Just don't want him to hit that wall.

Man was sweating thos one out with the way our D could not stop them. No way could they get that ball back.

Stopped posting as I was doing more texting with some friends.
And wanted to pay closer attention to the game.

But they pulled it out as our Offense is strong.

before everyone freaks out about our low total yardage. 2 missed field goals and 2 onside kicks will lower the yardage you're allowed to drive before scoring. notice the points were still above our average.

 

[BoysfanfromCanada]

Anyone have a gif of the horse collar hold on Crawford (?) that was so blatant but not called in the third quarter?

 

[lukin2006]

So consider this. Our defense got carved up about as much as my turkey. Washington played mistake free football and had 500 yards of offense. Our offense was good, but not as good as they've been all year.

And we still won!

I guess I feel like Washington cannot possibly play better, and we can play a LOT better. AND we still beat them.

I think that's a sign we are becoming a great team...fix some these defensive deficiencies and we will be truly great...

 

[BotchedLobotomy]

Took a peak at the extremeskins forum and they are blaming the refs.

 

[Tabascocat]

I had to listen to the 2nd half on the NFL Radio channel on satellite. I don't know who those two announcers are but they are horrific!

 

[Teague31]

The refs were once again terrible against us. I'm sensing a trend.

31-26

10-1

Anyone freaking out tonight is missing out on a surprisingly awesome season, led by two rookies who should be part of the Cowboys for years.

 

[tyke1doe]

That should have been a penalty on Norman.

 

[StarBoyz83]

Great game! Great Thanksgiving! Enjoy your families everyone

We'll beat them. They really have no offense, no running game.

 

[BourbonBalz]

Uh no.

7.

Cowboys play the Vikings next Thursday.

The BIG game is against the Giants. We do have ten days between our next one and that one.

 

[canters]

The Commanders are much better than the Gmen.
