I think they needed this loss

I might be alone on this, but for the last 2 weeks, they've been keeping bad teams around, pulling it out in the end. If there's any shot in the playoffs, the players needed to be humbled a bit and make sure they concentrate on the team in front of them. This is a gut check. Maybe they need a loss next week too. Who's going to step up and win it. Dallas plays better when they're on their heels. They're terrible when they're drinking their own juice.

The loss against Green Bay should have been enough to wake this team up. We allow bad teams to hang around because we’re not very good. We’ve blown a 14 point and 17 point lead this season. The writing is on the wall for where this season is heading.

We said this after the Packers game. If they "need" anymore losses they gonna be barely getting into the playoffs at that point. They need to wake up and I don't believe a loss should do it.

I was throwing a similar thought around. I didn’t think the division was in reach the last few weeks. So maybe some embarrassment and an angry team going into the playoffs is better.

That’s all just psychological reaching since the team is struggling and the division is gone after this loss and the Eagles win.

Sucks that is comes to psychological reaching.

They're woke. They just can't overcome their offensive coordinator, their coach or their quarterback.
It's the same ole, same ole, and it's not going to get magically better somehow.

Nah they’ll learn after the one and done.. that’ll really teach them.
LOL, good one. Everyone said same thing after Packers loss and last weeks barely beating Texans - this team doesn't seem to learn. Typical Cowboys team in the last 20-25 years. They beat themselves. I would agree with you, but could actually see this year ending after another first round playoff loss. Im not certain they beat Brady and the Bucs in Tampa in Round 1. Brady will pull a Rodgers on us that day.

assuming we make the playoffs, i'll take 3 straight losses to end the year if it means we win our first playoff game.

This team can't have a gut check because they have none

How did they need to lose all but the slightest hope of winning the division?

Stay away from the media. Treat all microphones slapped in their faces as if they were an "eggplant". Get away from it.

This team got bounced from the playoffs in an ugly way and decided there was no need to upgrade the talent and, instead, downgraded many places. You’ve got a lot of faith in a FO and team who hasn’t earned it.
