We jumped out 21 - GREAT!

We let them back in - at which point I didn't think we would lose.... Just like during our 6 game streak.

In the end, this barely serviceable defense turns into this opportunity machine - wins the game!


I think we are good, real good!

I gotta say, it felt good to get those sacks and turnovers. Real nice. I know sacks aren't everything, but it's still awesome.

Yeah game felt like ... No matter what.... We would find a way to win.


No matter what happens this year. This team has guts and no quit.

Just gotta play a little smarter.

When the score was 24-21, I thought that was the game. I'm so happy to see that this is a completely different team. No way in hell the Cowboys of previous years would have the resiliency to come back like we did last night!

I thought it was over too. In fact I turned it off as soon as it went 24-21 lol figured the meltdown was going to continue.

I thought they did a great job of not panicking when they lost the lead. They started to throw a bit more since the Eagles were daring them to. I would have preferred a little more throwing on 1st down from under center. The Eagles were daring them to do so and I think the opportunity was there. And then we could run a little more on 2nd down. But the big thing was they more or less stuck with the gameplan and got back to the gameplan when they were down 24-21 and the defense started to adjust nicely along with some timely turnovers.

Lots of people are different. I'm a glutton for punishment, so I'll watch every snap of a blowout loss, but I wouldn't ever consider turning off a three point Cowboy game, no matter what I thought might happen next.

it just seemed like they were going to get blown out. I can't stand to watch them get blown out or blow a lead and lose. I turned the thanksgiving game off in the 2nd quarter and the 9ers game at half. Lol

For all the talk around here before last night, you'd think the Cowboys were in the middle of a late season fall off. They're now 4-1 in the last 5 games. Win out, and it's 6-1 to start and 6-1 to finish.

This is a "good" team but not real good. What separates this team from the 3 previous teams under Garrett is the fight they show in adverse situations. The Cowboys mental toughness has greatly improved this season. They don't give up and have won some games this season they would have lost in previous seasons. The previous teams under Garrett would have folded after surrendering a 21 point lead. Once Philly jumped on top 24-21 the Cowboys stepped up and took control back which is something we haven't seen with the Cowboys in a long time.

I kind of walked away for a few minutes myself.......................my television was in grave danger. ;)

I came back and Wilcox was ballin' like a crazed dog out there. The DL was frothing at the mouth.

I love football..............

Yes.

Actually it reads wrong. When I say we are good, real good. I mean "we are good this year and that this year's recipe works more times than not".

We could steal one here this year!

After the Seattle game, there is no excuse for anyone giving up on these guys.

With no dominant team this year anything is possible it's been a strange season around the league. Green Bay has looked virtually unbeatable at home this year and very beatable on the road. All 4 of the Packers losses have come on the road including all of Aaron Rodgers turnovers. The Cowboys have played their best football on the road this season with a 7-0 road record but are 3-4 at home. :huh: Seattle was 3-3 after week 7 and looked like they might not be in the playoff hunt by Dec but now are looking like they did last season. If the Cowboys are going to steal one this year they have start winning at home because they're going to need the Colts game and if they make the playoffs they may get a home game and that may lead to a quick exit.

It's odd saying something like that but when you're 3-4 at home and looked solid in only 2 of your 3 home wins it's concerning. If the Cowboys lose at home to the Colts on Sunday Jerry may have to blow the place up and build a new stadium out of state. lol. It's going to get to the point where we're all looking at the schedule next season hoping we're on the road against our toughest opponents.

3-4 at home.

They can win at home.
Maybe that's the next step. Getting better at playing at home.
