Preach. He’s got some added incentive this week too. No one will know more about Ryan and company than he will.

Its crazy bc before this game Dallas was making 80% of tackles.

It's like everyone forgot how to play.

Atlanta is on the clock…they’ll be ready.

They gave up almost 200 yards rushing to a team playing 3 back up OL.

So many players failed to show up, I am chalking this up to the Broncos curse. Know what hasn't happened in those 25 years of futility besides not winning a division playoff game? Beating the Broncos, they own the Cowboys for the last 25 years.

I agree with everything he said, to the naked eye it appeared we missed the most tackles than we have all year.

Guess we got some pads on this week with hitting for real.

Justin Hamilton looked like Rocky trying to catch that chicken. Hey Big Fella, got hands at the ends of those arms?

At least they broke the Patriots curse . We hadn’t beat them since 1996 before this years win

Baby steps?

Well at least the offense made up for it by not scoring

And him ripping at the football instead of just making the tackle was a disgrace. Make the routine play first, otherwise it’s a good way to find yourself back on the practice squad. Or cut.

I know there is an art to stripping a ball carrier or receiver but while your standing the dude up trying to get the turnover he’s just carried you and two other helpers five more yards and a first down. Would love to see defenders level someone and stop forward progress .

Yup...horrendous tackling for sure...too many arm tackles. Surprised Williams didn't break someone's arm.

Pitts could wind up ripping us a new one…

Even Martin did not play all that well; allowed 2 pressures. As far as I could see the only player that really shined was Parson.

The Punter wasn’t too bad . Yikes

And people here are worried and concerned about players with how long their arms are.....who the freak cares if their hands are no good.

Union won’t allow sorry . A brisk Walk through on Friday though .

It was four by the fourth quarter. Dalton Risner got hurt late in the third quarter and was replaced.
