Is everyone ok today?

[Whyjerry]

The tone on the Forum last night was pretty dark. I am usually critical of the team but they pulled out the W. Wasn’t pretty at all but you have to give some credit to Houston. They were playing their Super Bowl yesterday. I was shocked by the negativity post game. Btw - Dallas is not catching Philly. 13-14 wins won’t do it. You know that right? The playoffs are almost guaranteed but the division is lost. Philly is going to win 15. How many of you would have taken 10-3? Nearly 100 pct. So sit back and enjoy this playoff season. The 5 seed looks like a lock.

People are looking at the bigger picture.
Prescott was awful but to be expected as he is an inconsistent QB. Without the defense preventing a pick 6 and making the goal line stop the team lose.
Parsons was a non factor which is the most concerning point to me as it suggests he is playing with an issue or two. If he doesn't play lights out then the D are less likely to carry Prescott and the offense to victory.
Steele could be done for the season.
Scraped past the worst team in football whilst the Eagles blow out the Giants away at the business end of the season.
It's not exactly looking good ahead of the play offs but if people just want to perhaps beat a decimated Bucs team before bowing out post season then yesterday was fine.

I am fine. We won.
However, the team needs to clean a lot of things up.

Ready for the next game to see if they improve. Jaguars will be a tough game no doubt if they do not refocus, then it will still be a challenge if they do refocus.

Well they will get a taste of a good QB next week that’s for sure. Hopefully the message will be made clear in practice this week.

Just because we're making the playoffs doesn't mean it's okay to look horrible heading into them.

There is soooo much that needs cleaned up and it's the same thing every single year.

This is 100% true! Cowboys went in over confident and over looking the Texans also.

It is but I think this year is different. It’s the defense that gives me hope plus if the season ended now they have the Bucs. That game is very winnable. Yesterday was awful but they are better than that and still got the W.

 

[MWH1967]

yep, just didn't like the injuries. Seen Brady teams win ugly and then come back to dominate.

Dallas needs Steele to be ok!

I'm also not cool with players being able to call our plays.

The injuries were the worst part. The Diggs thing scared me. They can’t afford to lose him.

 

[ryanbabs]

As bad as this game was…we all need to remember it would’ve been much worse had we lost. Sometimes these games happen. Go back and watch the 90’s teams and you’ll find a game or two of these as well. It happens.

 

[Aven8]

I’m fine except for the injuries. But that’s football. We won. Last year on this date we were 9-4 for reference.

We still have another 4 games to work on a lot of stuff.

That pretty much covers it! Nice summary

 

[JayFord]

the tone of this forum is always dark

we could win the superbowl and first thread will be something like "is it really something to celebrate one superbowl since 1995" and "best team doesnt always win the superbowl, lets wait until preseason"

 

[BotchedLobotomy]

We're 10-3 almost assured a playoff berth. Anyone who thinks this team is going to win in the playoffs is 100% speculating. Anyone who thinks this team is one and done in the playoffs is 100% speculating.

Truth is, me, you, and everyone else on the planet has absolutely no clue what will happen in the playoffs.

I personally believe this team has enough talent to win a SB, I also believe this same team with that same talent is capable of shooting themselves in the foot.

The only sure thing is, we'll all find out starting January 14th.

 

[big dog cowboy]

The Diggs thing scared me. They can’t afford to lose him.

AMEN!!!!!

Without him, the CB situation looks far less than ideal.

 

[links18]

The biggest concern is that once again we were completely outcoached. The Texans knew our weakness on D and they exploited it. We are weak against the read option and if Jeff Driskell can run all over us, what will Hurts do?

Yes, feeling good, why was a funeral planned or a WIN?

we played poorly the middle part of the game but started great ended great =WIN

10 win season now first time in b2b seasons since 95-96, that's a positive, we have double digit wins and will be a playoff team first time since who knows how long.

clean up each game is one off, none really carry over to the other and this game has zero bearing on the jags game or the playoff team we will face..

Yes 2 dropped Tds, 4 dropped passes one gets defected into a INT by Brown ,2 cost us first downs, some poor decisions by our QB but really the entire team didn't show up in any phase..yet we won.,

you trying to tell me that other team all year had games lie this? they did how about yesterday

Mahomes 3 INT nearly lost to Denver also a BAD TEAM
MN losing to the Lions
TENN loses to Jax BIG
Bucs getting worked by a rookie qb
MIA hasnt looked good for few weeks
Bills struggled with the Jets again

earlier in the year the eagles are the measuring stick, correct?

they struggled to beat the colts the same was we did with the Texans , they also were in a fight with the Texans the first half, also struggles with the jags..Lost to Washington!

Bills had 3 game stretch of bad football

KC hasnt been perfect,

Cinci had bad stretch this year

its the NFL these things happen, we need to finish the last 4 games trying to be healthy

lets be content with a win and move on to next week, no concern here because games do not carry over IMHO

Biggest positive note from this game is the struggle shows the team itself it can't be smelling itself after a WIN...this has to be a little smelling salt going into the last 4 games that they can get beat by anyone.

"This is just like those 90's teams"

 

[JJ1986]

You cannot afford to overlook a team regardless of their record. They get paid to compete and they have pride

 

[bottleKids]

It has been a long 27 years of mediocrity... the fan base is too smart to not see we are not the powerhouse #1 team in the NFL some of us think we are. Is it due to coaching? QB play? OC calls? Injuries? Who knows.... but I just hope this past week is the last hiccup for the season.
