Nice job by the Cowboys today. Won a game we should have won, needed to win. Now we get ready for Buffalo.

A lot to be happy about on offense. If not for the Dez fumble we get another score.

The defense did a good enough job. You can't complain about giving up 13 points. We need to fix the run defense before Fred Jackson though, and I think we will be ready.

Great to see Murray have another big day. We have the running backs we need. I love all three of our guys.

Bad to see Austin go down again. Man we need to stay healthy.

I love Dez's effort, but he is still REALLY raw. Some terrible routes at times, and just not real polished.

4-4 and looking forward to the Buffalo game!
 
I agree on all accounts.

The redzone offense has to get better, but I don't fault Garrett this week like I have in the past. I liked the playcalling, we just didn't execute.

The run D has to improve, the Buffalo game worries me now because of how bad the run D has gotten. But you take it one day at a time, and maybe Lee will be back.

It's always nice to get the W.

Yes. And Seattles defense is better than Buffalo's. We can cause them some matchup problems as well.
 
Every W is good.

Can't agree about the play calling in the RZ though.

First and goal from inside the 1 and we throw two passes and run a sweep ???

I would have liked to line up with Tanner in front of Murray, looking like we were going power football. Send Murray in motion to make the defense think, and then give it to Tanner. He is a bulldog going straight ahead.

They will really impress me if they go into Buffalo and win that game. Good team, ... on the road.

We are at home. :)

Yes sir. I still think we win. But I'm a little more concerned now.

Yep. Nice all around job today. They won one that they were supposed to win and got better by doing so. Baby steps.
 
Not excited about this team or the win honestly. We beat a bad Seahawk team and had a lot of struggles in the first half. Was tied 6-6. Too many penalties. Redzone struggles continue. Defense looked unimpressive. Just looks like the same ole Cowboys to me. It’s a win that the Cowboys needed very badly to stay alive. So i suppose that is good. Murray looks great btw. I would keep him the full time starter the rest of the season.

It's certainly not a win that would compel one to believe the Cowboys are anything better than mediocre. It looked like an eventual 8-8 team beating an eventual 6-10 team.

If the Cowboys win next week, we can start to consider raising our opinion of them.
 
Yoiu can raise your opinions next week. I'll slowly raise mine every single week til the end (starting with this win). I saw some good things out there regardless of the opponent on the opposite side of the ball.

This kind of thinking is what bugs me about our fans. There are no BAD teams in the NFL. last week you saw the Rams beat the Saints this week the Dolphins beat the Chiefs 31 to 3. Every year you see teams go from last to first and from first to last. The Seahawks had not allowed a 100 yard rusher in the last 10 games. I thought we did great.

Thanks, .. I found that out after I posted that yesterday. Embarassingly enough, my wife told me.

Not sure why I thought we were on the road, but I was glad to hear that we don't have to go to Buffalo.

Guess you could say we looked like the Giants playing the Seahawks just a couple of weeks ago. Not very impressive, but managed to pull out a win. Although we did a better job vs. the Seahawks than the 1st place Giants did.

I agree, not to mention that those Seahawks beat the Giants, .. in NY.

Seahawks are a bad team. That fact doesn’t change. The Giants had that game won but a tipped Cruz pass was intercepted. So they blew one game they should have won. Cowboys have blown a number of games already. That is the difference.

Exactly. It was a good win. I'm very happy with it. I just hope the stadium is rocking for the Bills game. In my opinion, POTENTIALLY the biggest game of the season, especially if we can win it.
