Miami is looking at putting 80 up on this defense and you’re telling me not to “overreact” after losing to quite possibly the worst team in the league is hilarious. Look at our upcoming schedule and tell me not to overreact. What a joke.
So...asking for a friend, what's the point to you in being a fan of the Cowboys?

It’s how we lose games that gets me.Too many stupid penalties and not producing tds in the red zone. The good teams like 49ers you have to beat them they won’t beat themselves.

Same, I really dont like how we came out flat yesterday. You can't just underestimate any team. You have to prepare for every team like it's a big game.

We will be fine the Cowboys always like coming down to the level of weak teams. That’s why this team can’t be trusted they have played like this the last 28 years!! They play better against much tougher competition.

If injuries are going to be an excuse every time the team lays an egg, they won’t be fine. Diggs isn’t coming back this season and we haven’t seen the last of the OL injuries.
Yes. You were right. You were saying (essentially) we’d lose and we did. Good job.
We’d like to be confident fans just one year, like the 90’s, but I guess that’s out.

Losing over half your line will impact the game. I’m pretty sure the team didn’t say that. I did. So I don’t know how you see that affecting them. But ok.

No no no, don't you understand? Starting three rookie offensive linemen that were either low draft picks or UDFAs had no impact on the game! I honestly don't know why people don't understand just how tough that is. Not many teams all season will be pressed by OL injuries like that. This was just the perfect storm.

Every game is the perfect storm with this team isn’t it? Losing against Dobbs and the lowly cardinals does’t account for a “perfect storm” maybe against the 49ers and Dolphins I’d buy this excuse. Against the Cardinals? Absolutely not.

It’s up to the team to shut you up. I believe they will.

Did you think Dallas was going to go undefeated?

I actually seriously question why you even here. You only show up after losses and behave like a child.

Again, I did NOT expect this team to go undefeated. HOWEVER, I did NOT expect them to lose against a team like the lowly cardinals. I know football is a tough sport and all of these players are pros, however, a team like the Cowboys with Super Bowl aspirations should not be losing to a team like the Cardinals who will likely be picking in the top 5 in the draft. Especially not in the fashion we did. If the game was close, maybe, maybe I would excuse them. But the game was never close. Not once did we look good this entire game. We never got it together. Never improved on anything we were failing at before. It was the same circus show the entire game. Which is concerning to me and why I am upset. No in game adjustments and constantly failing to the AZ Cardinals that were 0-2.

If we struggled like this against a superior team with aspirations like the 49ers, Eagles, Dolphins, Bills. I’d understand. Those are the games I originally had a losses and I would generally be “Ok” losing against because they are genuinely great teams. But not only will we lose those, but we will lose against teams we are clearly (supposed) to be better than. We’re also looking to get blown out like yesterdays garbage against those teams when we’re supposed to be competing with them.

That is why I am disappointed. And I here against the Giants. AND against the Jets. You guys just want to pick and choose when you see my posts. And I am typically very vocal when we lose because when we do lose, we lose bad, and rightfully deserve criticism. If you don’t see that, good for you. Keep drinking the optimism kool-aid. I prefer to see things from a realistic point of view.

We lost the game due to both sides of the ball. Everyone can make excuses about the injuries on the OL, but our defense played like crap. Our D was ranked number one overall entering the game and dropped to number 4 overall. We’re still having issues stopping the run and we continue not to have answers for mobile QBs. Joshua Dobbs is a journeyman QB who made our defense look silly yesterday. Offensively we have a conservative short passing game to try and avoid INT’s and we’re terrible in the redzone and have been all season. There’s no excuse for how we played yesterday. We came in flat against a team we were favored to beat by two TDs and we never held the lead once. The Cowboys continue to play down to their opponents and seem to think they can flip the switch on and off whenever they want. We were pretty much dominated by a team that many thought was the worst in the league.

The Cowboys aren’t nearly as good a team as everyone, especially some of the chest pounding fans thought they were. With the schedule they have they’re likely to struggle to win 10 games. Just making the playoffs may end up being a struggle. Hard to be confident like we were about our 90s teams, because those teams were great teams that were committed to being the best. The teams we’ve had the last two decades pick and choose which games they decide to show up in and when they make the playoffs they can’t even win a divisional round game. What we saw yesterday should squash all the Super Bowl talk because this team isn’t any different than the teams we’ve had in recent years and isn’t going anywhere.

LOL at thinking the officiating was the reason we couldn't squeeze out a win.

Many of those penalties were completely justified.
well, you know this happens after every loss. most push panic button. we go from oh we are great, to oh we are the worst. Dak haters jump at every chance of just enjoying their week. some of them actually want cowboys to lose, else they have nothing to do.

this shall pass.

we will win, more than we will lose.
WE LOST TO THE ARIZONA! Not sf or Philly. The cardinals!!

Anyone that has managed to be a Dallas Cowboys fan since 1978 is the definition of “resilience“, Screw you.
Been a fan since 1972. Resilience I have. Having to cheer for a 40 million dollar bus driver I don’t like.

How do you think we will beat SF with this crap qb? He can’t score against the cards D. No way he scores against SF. Yes the sky is falling like it has for the past 7 years with Dak as qb.
