Dominant Win

[ChuckA1]

It was a 27-20 make a defensive stop at the end type of complete domination.

The defense played far better than the score indicates. I know you realize this.

TY for your positivity brother this place had me feeling bad about win 2 weeks in row and its getting old quick..

i guess being 8-8 and 6-10 isnt reminder to appreciate this season. Fans are so fickle and miserable its hard to be a fan around here..


i mean players go through slumps and daks human , it happens. We have seen it with the rams, bucs, bills, Ravens, KC and mahomes offense stunk most of the year, and even rogers with GB all had these little slumps. we are winning and fans are nitpicking the fun out of a win. Its a win..9-4 is real.

I have faith in him, he will rebound and this will come together in time for the playoffs..

this is TEAM game sometimes the defense has to overcome the offense, sometimes the offense over defense and sometimes you need the kicker to win a game..it happens to all teams. These fans want perfect games like oh my we should have won 40-10 the last two games and get all lathered up over a win that had some issues..

none of it concerns me at all..take it one game at a time..


enjoy being up 3 games in the division at 9-4 thats a top 5 record in the league not just the nfc. it will be ok..

Great post and 100% agree

Lots of hand-wringing after this game lol…. Here is the deal:

We just spanked the “hottest team in the NFL” in their own house— after guaranteeing that we would win.

Our offense was “meh.” And we STILL dominated the WFT. The D started the game dominating— and they ended the game by slamming the door just when the WFT thought a little light was starting to break through the clouds lol…

Was it a “pretty” win? YES!! Our D flat out owned those nameless pukes and destroyed them in their own house! I love it!

For those worried about the offense— they can and will play better. For now— enjoy a dominating performance by our D! That unit is peaking at the PERFECT time for a playoff run!!

I agree on some points. Our Defense played exactly like I thought they should. With all Defense back on the field they smoked a team that was on a streak, I think they just beat the bucs. Our Defense pretty much beat them single handed. They gave up a few plays. They can’t stop every play all day. Especially when our Offense stalls over and over. Our Defense dropped about 4 picks. So happy about our Defense.

Our Offense is suffering. We faced a tough defense line that’s stout in the middle and we had a RB hurt and one that’s never played with us so running was going to be tough. But Dak is both scared and the staff has him scared to run. He went to take off the first time and took one step over the line and had open field and he “slipped” LOL. Another time he took 2 yards and slid down as fast as he could. But they called a designed run for him which I was surprised and he immediately hit the deck on that one. Lol. It was not funny because of how much that’s a part of his game and now he is clearly afraid. But was funny to watch. Now he did get a few good runs in and is gaining confidence again. The leg don’t seem to be bothering him. But the arm was off quite a bit. So many over throws and under throws.

It was in quotes for a reason lol…. Some in the media were driving that narrative

ahh, sorry about that. Their 4 wins in a row were impressive and road division games are always tough. This was a good win, I'm enjoying 9-4.

 

[atlantacowboy]

Well— the WFT won 4 in a row and were a trendy pick to upset Dallas in the division. Guess now that we smoked them— the narrative HAD to be that they suck

If you don't know their roster or whose injured, it might seem confusing.

Injuries are never an excuse. No one cared when our guys were missing last year. We went 6-10 and earned every bit of it.

WFT won 4 games under-manned. They wanted us. They got us. We guaranteed a win in their house— and backed it up. We flat out took their lunch money when the division was on the line.

Sorry if that’s not good enough for you lol

Dak is not playing well. True. Our D dominated the WFT and controlled the game. True.

"There house" was at least 50% cowboy fans.

 

[Gangsta Spanksta]

you lost me after we just spanked the hottest team in the NFL. I've must've fallen asleep and missed some games for this to have happened.

 

[atlantacowboy]

Pretty sure he wasn't referencing the defense. That said, Washingtons offense is a complete mess yet still managed to come within a dropped pass of tying up the game.

We also traveled well thanks to the fans. As many Cowboys fans as wft fans. Dak is going through something. Maybe shoulder but the leg seems fine he was running around fine.

 

[lukin2006]

Super glad they got this win. 9-4…let’s go beat NY and get on a roll heading to the p,ayoffs. We got a defence people. A good defence. They give us a chance.

Good. Glad we travel well. That fact— by the way— meant nothing when we got spanked up there last year

Not throwing a pick six and the whole game looks different

 

[Risen Star]

You got me there. If the game went differently it would have been different.

 

[Streifenkarl]

Great post and 100% agree

I really wonder if we are watching the same games... ever since KC at least.

Pretty sure he wasn't referencing the defense. That said, Washingtons offense is a complete mess yet still managed to come within a dropped pass of tying up the game.

It took a pick six to get them even close so frankly giving their offense much credit is just plain dumb.

 

[terra]

What encourage me about this game was the D really stepping up when it needed to.

To be very blunt that is one of the things we have lacked since the 90's. Now in 2009 the D did that a fair amount but in the end failed against Minnesota and Favre in the playoffs.

To put this D up there with our best ever they have a lot of wood to chop. BUT this game was the first time in way too long that I saw potential for it to make it.

Now as regards the Offense, sadly I am thinking the troubles there will not be fixed this year. Between injuries and just plain bad play calling way too often.

 

[Doomsdayblitz]

I have been a fan for every SB we've played. I know that it takes a balanced team to win it. You don't have to be great at every position, but you can't shoot off your own foot, either. The offense carried the team for half the season, but now is floundering. If we don't stop turning the ball over, it's "We'll get 'em next year". Guaranteed.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

If you cannot enjoy the win and being 9-4, 3 game lead and 4 to go.
You are not Fan.

I remember the not so old days where if you had some critical opinion, you were a super fan....really in the know....objective....better than rose colored homer.

Now if you say anything you're a stinking evil pos.
Weird.
