CFZ Immediate thoughts after this game

[Rockport]

Cowboys on cruise control after halftime and just ran the clock out the entire second half.

Dak went on a stretch in the first half that really had me screaming. He missed 6-7 in a row and was high many times tonight.

He also took a couple of unnecessary sacks and one lead to a fumble/six for the E-gals.

That was a bonehead play but overall he played great. Take away some of the penalties and he would’ve put up another 40 burger.

my first thought is GOOO SEAHAWKS!! (against the eagles of course.)

If they can beat Philly, and we can either win out or win all our games except Detroit, we might just steal the 2nd seed.

To be fair, there were some awesome throws by Dak tonight. That throw to Gallup was spectacular. Another one to Lamb that was dropped was a dime.

The only squawk I have about the offense is this BS of passing inside the three yard line. you have first and goal and the first two plays should be runs. Do not try and get cute down there; remember the SB when Pete Carrol blew it trying to be cute?

That has me climbing the walls. Make them stop you first.

he was very up and down today. made great plays followed up by head scratchers. not sure if this kind of performance would hold up against the Niner's defense.

There’s the national sports media story for tomorrow! Thanks for the view into future.

He really is. I like the nickname "Enforcer" they were giving him, but I think Paycheck 2 fits to.

I like dilemma. If you go low he jumps over you. If you go high you get a concussion.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Dilemma fits too

I’m more worried about next week than Detroit

Man y’all are really stretching to continue this anti-Dak rhetoric.

That is the frightening part. Dak really did not have his best game and the Cowboys won by 20. CeeDee dropped a touchdown and Parsons was obviously sick. The Cowboys are legitimate.

"Signature Win"? I guess, but he will likely need a few of those in a row on the road in the playoffs.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

I do think we should run it in that spot. I'd especially like to see Luepke get more involved in that spot. Why not a FB dive? That said, this was a brilliant performance by the Cowboys.

Leupke as a lead blocker, but he is way too slow getting started. he takes a while to reach his momentum.

I agree with you about the Bills. I'm just saying, analytically speaking, assuming the Seahawks beat Philly, the only game that we can afford to potentially lose is the Lions game because we would win the division on common opponents.

Perhaps, but he can probably push forward a yard.

ok I see whay youre saying. I have already embraced that were gonna need to win on the road. The AZ loss and Philly loss is nopt gonna help our cause. If I get pleasantly surprised then so be it. I think we are good enough to win everywhere but san Fran and frankly we could play them anywhere and lose when they are clicking they are the best team in football and isnt close. But all it takes is a Deebo or Trent williams mishap and they are a different team. Mccaffery goes down who knows

LOL. Im not even shocked. Keep being you buddy.

 

[Streifenkarl]

It was a signature win. I'm fine with that and won't move the goal posts here. Let's hope there'll be a couple more now.

I mean, it's not likely that we will win the division. And, even if we do, we probably have to win at least one game on the road to get to Vegas. I'm waiting until at least this weekend (since I doubt the Giants can beat Philly in either game) with our game against Buffalo and Philly's game with Seattle before I am ready to settle in for the situation where we probably become the 5th seed. I think SFO would be tough, especially on the road. However, this team is playing much differently than it did when we played them as well. Dak has been playing like an MVP, and he could be the best QB in the league this season. So, who knows?

Lol Paycheck 2. I'll pass.
He is nothing like Novacek BTW. Novacek was a finesse tight-end.
