Game Day ***Cowboys vs Texans post game thread***

[Romo_To_Dez]

Ugly wins are always better than pretty losses. I will say that.

 

[TequilaCowboy]

That dumb QB led the team 98 yds for a win.

It was a team win....had the defense not stopped them at the goal line even a Cowboys TD would not have been enough at the end. If you are gonna give credit, give it to everyone who deserves it.

Sarcasm i suspect. Sarcasem I hope.

It is, but at the same time if he just catches the ball and we repeat the first drive, it's likely Houston folds.

Dak is at the same level he was at 3 years

 

[MaineBoy]

He was trying to put an exclamation point on the "win". They'd been getting yardage all day running the ball. No reason to think we could stop them on 4 tries.

Gotcha. Looked like their running game disappeared when their RB1 went out.

One and done playoff team ‍

You're not wrong.

....Ok....move Turpin to MLB and LVE to punt returner......now that's sacasm. All good.

Very good chance that the last two weeks of the season could be meaningless and we will be locked into #5.

This is why a loss today would not have been the end of the world. So glad we pulled it out though, it means our hopes of getting the 1 seed are still alive.

Gotcha. Looked like their running game disappeared when their RB1 went out.

Their QB runs were getting good yardage too. I'm shocked they didn't roll him out at all in that goal line stand.

 

[Buzzbait]

Only on this board could a comment that Dak manned up on the last drive make people angry.

Against any halfway decent team, Daks last drive would've been wildly celebrated, but against the 1-10 Texans? It only took all day against the worst team in the NFL to eek out a closing seconds win.
I like the 10 wins, but this was the ugliest win I can remember. I'm not angry, I'm seriously disappointed.

I'm not even thinking about the #1 seed after Philly nearly dropped a 50 burger on NY, and we almost lost to the Texans.

@GORICO - Please, no more ludicrous Plats!

It’s not their MO and if you’ve followed this team for 10 years or so nothing ever comes easy for this franchise

I think sometimes fans expect the cowboys to curb stomp their opponents and that’s rarely gonna happen

nfl is a tough league nothing is a gimme . Now next week is gonna be tough as well

Been a fan since age 6 (1970). The last ten years mean nothing to me. This team needs to be better. No one is expecting a "curb stomp" every game, but we do expect consistency.

Not if Pretty Loses help build momentum for the next series of games and ugly wins help stall them, as the case can sometimes be.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

The biggest concern from this game is the injury to Steele and Hankins. Ball looked terrible and the run defense is already our biggest weakness.

Yup, and the miscues were concerning. We are a very lucky team in that 1. It was the Texans and 2. That it wasn't Philly. If we play like that against Philly, it'll be over by halftime.

Going to put the win on the board. 10-3. A win is a win. Gives rhem scenarios to work on

 

[Dak_Attack_09]

Issac Alacron needs to be activated from practice squad and replace Ball at tackle.

 

[Surfguy]

There is something to it where bad teams can have really good games against really good teams. But, a lot of what happened out there was self-inflicted.

 

[Fritsch_the_cat]

....Ok....move Turpin to MLB and LVE to punt returner......now that's sacasm. All good.

We've had linebackers before that could return kicks.

We'll find out in the next couple of weeks.
