I thought we were going to lose a tough close game. I thought we were going to be able to run but might have some problems throwing, and I thought our defense was going to have issues. Instead we really had our way with them for the majority of the game.
I was very impressed with how the defense was very well prepared, staying very disciplined in their gap assignments. Outside of 1 play, the read option and all those gimmicky college style plays with Harvin were shut down.

That one big play should have been a yellow flag to boot.

I'm with you Clove. It's been so long since we have be relevent. This team has really shocked me this year. I thought we would be 8-8 or worse and didn't believe in them until this game. It's now undeniable that something is special about the Cowboy's this year and it is time for the realists and homers to unite!
It's funny how out of 18 years, they had a couple of relevant years yet some people picked them to win all 18 years. That's just stupid. You can actually admit when your team sucks, just as you can celebrate when your team is great. There's a difference between not rooting for your team anymore and criticizing when it's due.

All I can say is, I love this team and I deserve any flack guys give me for being down on this team, THIS YEAR. Not years past, but this year.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving here in Canada. And I just came back from the grocery store and traded in our turkey for a huge helping of crow.

It's going to taste great.

Ill gladly eat crow for saying theyd finish 6-10, I thought we could play it close today going in (picked them in my pick'em league against the spread), still elated with the win!

Call me a blind homer, I always expect for them to win, but I also am prepared for them to lose because it is very hard to go undefeated and the avg win count for the good teams is probably right at 11. Every teams has that bell weather game game and they also have that one game they had no business losing, its what you do with the ones in between that define the team.

We are looking fantastic, but we have a huge turnover problem. One aspect we have to work on is turnovers because we're keeping teams in games by giving them easy scores. I feel like we can be a dominant team if we get that cleaned up.

I believe I predicted a 6 win season with 8 wins if we got lucky.

I guess I could technically still be right. So, NO CROW FOR ME!

I figured we'd shoot ourselves in the foot enough to lose, but hold on just enough to make it seem like we had a chance.

Once DeMarco made some moves and I saw the defense make plays when needed and going up at halftime, I knew the game was ours.

Also, when I heard the "Defense" chants while we were on D in the 4th, I knew they didnt have a chance.

yeah, I'll admit it. I was pretty confident we were going to lose. Maybe put on a nice effort for 3/4 of the game, but then lose the game late with mistakes (which almost did happen).

Today the cowboys showed me a backbone I have not seen for 3 years.

I thought the Seahags were going to murder us. My opinion was clearly wrong and I'm eating major crow now...but it tastes soooo goooood! Our team is finally legit. At minimum we are going to the playoffs.
