How can anyone defend these coaches?

Nice post. And true. We won, we are in 1st place, we are undefeated in the division, we are 4-1 in the conference. Sitting in good shape right now.

5-1 in the conference. That's mediocrity lol!!! Woop Woop

Yeah, thank goodness the rest of the division sucks even worse.

Of course that won't be the case if this mediocre team actually manages to make the playoffs thanks to the NFC Least.

"Lowered Expectations..."

Ah, so we are the kings of the people who suck? lol. NFC East team beat the Chargers today. NFC East team beating the Raiders today. So apparently there are suckier divisions than ours, at least for today.

I've been told all that matters is wins and losses. Well, there's your win so many of you should sit down and have your favorite drink. You can't have it both ways.

In fact ugly win against a team that exploited some weaknesses and is a tough out. Another GWD by Romo. Too many mistakes and drops. Gutsy win against a team they don't match up well with but should beat esp at home.

We don't match up well against the Vikings? I actually think they play right into our few strengths.

The offense did what they always do. Nothing to start a game and rely heavily on the defense then pick things up in the second half. It was a familiar script.

Do you guys understand what the word arbitrary means? This team would be dead last in the AFC West.

I absolutely PROMISE you that by using your logic you would have never picked the Giants to win the Super Bowl the last time they did it. Guaranteed.

You keep scratching and clawing for any little bit to convince yourself that this team doesn't suck.

But you're not making a case for the rest of us.

Enjoy the big win and being the best of the least.

I'm not happy with the way they played. It doesn't matter to me they have jags on the field on defense. I just wouldn't blame my HC for that fact. If I wanted to point fingers I'd point it in the right direction; at JJ who is the real reason there is still a lack of depth on the team. However, I don't see how pointing fingers solves a dang thing. We won real ugly although again MN is a tough out. Anyone who can run the ball can set up the pass and is going to cause trouble. And it doesn't take much to create problems for that defense. You're tempted to get very upset about the tackling and I still would be. But AD is going to get his yards against most any team in the league and he is tough to bring down obviously.

I actually think the rest of you have no point. So if I have made the point that you have no point I'm happy to make my point. Only in Dallas do we complain

a. After a win
b. After staying in 1st place.

But if you desire to remain miserable, be my guest.

This team doesn't suck. This team is mediocre. The Vikings suck. You're doing well, so don't overreach. :)

You're a fan Jerry loves...1st place in November...let's make a T Shirt

It is the only thing that could possibly matter since we are in November right now? Yes? Can we be in 1st place in December if we are currently in November? Do you have a time transport machine?

I like the 1st place stat, which you minimize. Its the only stat that matters at the moment.

The only statement that matters to you. You're not the end all to be all. This team is widely inconsistent and almost lost to a 1-7 team with a ton of games that they can easily lose. With the eagles skins coming on.

Where is ScipioCowboy when I need him? He is the one who tells us to stick to the facts and all that matters is the record. He said that a win today would represent improvement. Where is he?

Actually, playing well against quality teams matters a lot more to me than being in 1st place in the worst division in the NFL in November. If that's asking too much, then we've all managed to move the goalposts clear out of the stadium.

I like it. Today we scored when we had to to win. Today we held them on defense when we had to to win. Today our record improved to 5-4. Today we are one step closer to the division title and playoffs. All of that is better than last week. = improvement. Be happy.

In your own twisted mind... Not something I would go pounding my chest over. But hey go shake the Pom pom's over barely beating a pathetic 1-7 team with a terrible QB
