they did at the same time you do realize those long drives into the RZ but turned overs help the defense stay rested, they were deep into our side,, i think it worked hand in hand. our offense move the ball impressivelyTOP type stuff halped the d ,yes TOs suck but where and wnen they happened were not as bad as they could have been ie no short fields. .

its a valid point

trust me games are never how you expect them to be we just learned that lesson...

Well, I kind of expected this one to be fairly low-scoring. Pittsburgh has a nasty defense and so-so offense. I mean, they were 3-1, but in the three victories they didn't score more than 20 points (and two were in the teens). Their offense was a good one for our beat-up defense to face to get a little confidence without Parsons and Lawrence.

Defense looked more discipline without parsons and Lawrence.

Aubrey is still our best weapon .

its a valid point

exactly one that we can be OK with since we won, for sure if we'd have lost the game i would have pointed at those turnovers and blamed some on Dak but blocked FG wasnt him.. He jumps on Ricos fumble and then throws the game winner, easier to swallow in victory!

Last week, the Cowboys were flagged for 11 penalties for 89 yards. This week, they were flagged for 11 penalties for 87 yards. I guess that's an improvement. Just kidding, it's not. This is terrible. Reoccurring personal foul penalties reflect a poorly coached team.

MM deserves the game ball

I saw some high character performances by backup players.

I saw a team overcome adversity time and again.

I saw our quarterback in the most critical circumstances a QB can be in a football game.....one play....win or lose....and he pulled the trigger. This has got to be encouraging.

Was it his best performance? No. Was it his most accurate? Not even close. However, you cannot deny the poise when everything was on the line, perhaps even the season.

I can give you dozens of examples where Hall of Fame quarterbacks had bad games that nobody will ever remember....because they won.

You have to give it up for Tolbert, the leading receiver of the game for the Cowboys, in both receptions and yards. We needed a 2nd receiver desperately and we have one going forward.

The Cowboys defense gave up 185 yards rushing a game in the first three games. Their average in the last two games is 59 yards a game.

They held the Steelers to 92 yards rushing and the Steeles longest run was 8 yards by their QB. The Steelers averaged 3.5 yards a carry.

This was accomplished with 3rd team DE's and a 3rd team CB.

McCarthy likes his guys and today I like them too.

Did McCarthy and Zimmer have them ready to play despite the adversity of losing their best defenders? Yes he did. Despite any opinion of the man, let's give him some credit. On the other side of the field was a Super Bowl winning HC that has never had a losing season.

The Cowboys beat a team with a winning record, a defense that had given up the 2nd fewest points in the league.

Let's put all the criticism on pause for just 12 hours and look at the good things we discovered about some of our guys. Let's put in at least a tenth of the effort in praising them as we do in criticizing them, of recognizing the good, than in searching for every fault....for just half a day.
