1. I was a nervous wreck before the game. Mostly because of winning, but I wanted Dak to have the no interception records. I was elated when he broke it. And thrilled when that was rules a fumble.

However, I am also glad it isn't a thing any longer. I might have felt differently if Dallas lost, but that is not hanging over his head and everyone talking about it. he probably didn't care, but to me it means something if each week that was all the talking heads were focusing on.

2. Does Garrett look smarter now that he has the players to deliver. But

3. Linehan has his fingerprints all over this offense with the play calling. The players are executing, but Linehan is mixing it up and keeping the defenses guessing.

4. This defense played beyond my expectations. Some of it was Rodgers, but these guys are for real. And suddenly this team is getting turnovers.

5. It was nice to see a game where penalties went the other way for a change.

6. Zeke us a bully and so is his offensive line.

7. Does Dak get the nickname Hannibal now?

Great win, good time for a bye, and Dallas is going to beat the ever lovin' crap out of Philly in two weeks.

I don't expect Romo back until the Browns just to put him into an easier game. Someone on this board asked what if this team were 7-1 with Dak before Romo came back.

I posted that was foolish to even think that with a rookie.

I was wrong. Holy guacamole! Dak is some football bein' played in Dallas.

This win was in Lambeau. Yes, i want to extend a big thank you to AR and Mike McCarthy, Props to them for sticking with what wasnt working.

Garrett and company flubbed the second quarter, but the third quarter was a new game and Dallas still prevailed.

8. Beasley simply put that defender to sleep on his second TD. he acted like he didn't even want to block because the play was going the other way. Nice one, Beas.

That was nasty and on the first one....if you noticed he just jogged into his motion to the left, and then came back to the right and turned on the jets....almost impossible for the defender to stay with him. He has elevated his game....maybe that offseason with Randy Moss is paying off.

My thing with Garrett especially during the 8-8 years was that very few HC's call there own plays. And most that do successfully like Payton and Reid are much more established coaches. Garrett never should have been HC/OC to begin with. Now that he is just an HC, you are starting to get better results out of the team as a whole and he is looking like a much more effective coach

I want to preface this post by saying I've only avidly watched football for about ten years. What exactly does Garrett do aside from press conferences if this is the case? Please excuse my ignorance.

It was comical the way Beasely sucked that guy in and then left him standing there with him mouth open!
