Told you fellas it was not over. Nice to see D line get some sacks in the 4th,

It's very difficult to sustain the type of momentum Philly had to produce to overcome 21-0. Yes, they crawled back in it, but remember, their defense was on the field a long time. I think that made a difference down the stretch even if it didn't seem like it. And the offensive line did its job. Yes, they had lapses here and there, but they played a good game and gave Romo time for the most part.

That is an old saying regarding Philly fans, it applies to every sport and have seen it many times.

Well it might be an old saying, but times have changed and it sucks. It's not cool anymore (although truly it never was) and they probably should stop saying it now. Like other things that used to be ok, but are not anymore. Just saying. Apparently Philly fans are even more stupid than I thought they were. Or maybe that reporter or whatever he is, is. lol

You are right, Sasquatch, you are right. I have to admit, my faith waivered for a minute. I thought I was gonna have a heartattack. lol. Tried to keep the faith, dug deep, lost it, found it again, then thought maybe no, same thing all over again, then hope hell yeah, we're gonna do this, to oh no it's not gonna happen, to hell yeah it's gonna happen, to praying please let it happen, and then it happened after one or two more oh no's. But hey, that's our Cowboys! Right? Win or lose. Like I said, who needs the town carnival when you've got the Cowboys! I am just so thankful it ended on a good note for us. I am tired. Between fish and shrimp and this damned roller coaster ride, I'm exhausted. whew! Cowboys!

No shame to what I am sure was a common reaction once the Eagles took the lead, myself in included, given how many times we've seen this rerun before. This year's team, though, seems determined to rewrite the script.

The game played out as I hoped it the Cowboys were gonna win.. I thought the Cowboys needed to get out to a fast start to kind of settle in and also give themselves a cushion for an inevitable Philly response. The 21 and 24 point swings were extreme but the end result was what I expected in the 3rd. Dallas was right in the game within 3 points with only 1.5 quarters remaining. The ensuing TD drive to go up 28-24 was the most impressive drive of the season rivaling the winning drive in Seattle.

I know my faith wavered when the eagles went ahead. I had to take a half hour break and then I went back to watch the rest of the game.

Agree they protected Tony and did a good job in run game even with the no gainers by Murray

Also De Marco congrats on 2 TDs and protecting the ball

I fully admit that I thought, "here we go again."

Thank goodness the Boys stepped up.

It was ultimately a beautiful thing.

Philly has a good D. Our O did their job. They scored 38 points. This D needs to tighten up. But they made some catalytic plays.

Not really. You and others severely over hype the Colts. Their defense stinks, Luck turns the ball over too much and they barely have a running game.

Luck can be dangerous. But you're right about their defense. And if we can play ball control, we'll keep Luck off the field and win this game methodically. Besides, with what's at stake, I think the Cowboys will bring their A game.

Beautiful win, Romo was outstanding and Dez beasted. Hats off to Garrett, he's done a heck of a job.

I felt we were headed towards another one of those collapses, but the team stood tall and rallied to win. It was a nice challenge by Garrett on the fumble. These are the sorts of games Dallas has to win to get back that air of respectability. Congratulations to the team.
