Lol, I guess? We can only hope they learn from it. Man, they even looked flat on the sidelines. We were fortunate to come away with a win. Still irritates me, especially that we were playing the worst run defense in like 5 decades yet we got our qb out there flailing about instead of giving it to EITHER freaking rb who was averaging 7 ypc at that point.

I'm happy for the win regardless. Life would've been miserable with all the Texan fans I know. Better tighten up next week.
Be wary of what you say. You might get labeled a hater with this kind of talk.

I figured this was going to happen, but a win is a win and will be remembered as such.

What does this game tell us about the future?

Nothing. One game they can be world beaters and the next they look like anyone can beat them.
Nothing has changed.
Hoping for maximum focus moving forward.
What it tells me is that this team won't string 4 great games together in the playoffs. Could they? Sure, at our best I think this team can beat anyone. But we play too many stinkers to get through the playoffs. I'd be frankly a bit surprised if we escape Tampa.

The flub at the 1 yard line made it a closer game than it should have been.

That's where I am.

I feel like they've been fairly consistent prior to today. We've also put together streaks. Today's biggest culprit was a lack of focus. There's no excuse not to be honed in for a playoff game.

I hope you're right, but I can't see this team putting 4 games together

I think the Texans had our playbook this week. They were ready.

This , Moore is very predictable, Sanchez in the booth knew our plays it seemed. We can all predict Moore would abandon run the moment we are 3 point behind…

Mike needs to be able to kick some coaching butt.

For some reason he, and other Dak haters, are upset that Dak pulled it out on that last drive.
He doesn't root for the Cowboys.
He's here to rile up the masses and argue with the people.
That's all he does and Dak is the easy target.
I like that he sprinkles in some Tweets of news like Risen.

That's a nice thing.

Next week is the trap game. The Jaguars are genuinely good. They remind me of the 1990 Cowboys.

This Jaguar team is growing better at a rate that is faster than any other team. They will be really good is 2023.

I knew we'd win this, but Jacksonville is another trap game. Lawrence is starting to play like a first rounder
Jacksonville is a trap game, Houston was not. Generally speaking if the game you are looking forward to is more than a game away then the current game is not a trap.
