It is setting up nicely for a run

[CouchCoach]

First of all, I don't know if you watched that Skins-Bucs game but any team that can put up over 500 yards and only get 3 points should just stay home. At least the kidnappers will let Fitzpatrick's family go now.

Last season, the game that started the fall of not only the team but the QB was exactly where they're headed this week. The Cowboys are not only in need of some payback but showing they can win more than one in a row. They're facing a team on the ropes and if they can't get at least another 27 on the road, then this game last night was nothing more than another tease. If they have indeed turned the corner and this wasn't just a one off, they will defeat the Falcons Sunday...….. decidedly.

The Skins are the worst looking team with a winning record in the NFL and face the Texans so if the Cowboys can take care of business, we should have us a TDay game to pull even but even more importantly, a two game win streak going into the game. If the Skins beat the Texans, I will change my opinion.

The Skins have the easier schedule from here on out with PHL, twice, NYG, JAX and TEN after TDay. These games this Sunday need to fall our way if we are to have a shot at the division, which I believe is our only path in.

And while some may feel we're just stalling the inevitable, I will not look the gift of renewed hope that game delivered last night. A loss last night and all hope would have been gone and while hope isn't the best way to hang onto the season, sure as hell beats the alternative.

And somewhere off in the distance, I hear a song playing. "Uh, uh, uh, uh stayin' alive, stayin' alive, uh, uh, uh, uh stayin' alive, stayin' alive...stayin' alllllliiiiiivvvvvvve". If that's too tough on the "Garrote Garretteers", picture him boppin' down the street in the beginning of that movie. That does it for me.

If Garrett can't get the Cowboys ready for this game after what Adrian Clayborne did to us, well...

 

[maryquality]

LMAO@the visual of Garrett strutting down the street to "Staying Alive"!!

 

[Blackthorn]

Dallas (Garrett) has to be aggressive moving forward to win. The team played to win for most of the game. The only complaint that I have is that the last three plays ran by the offense was dismal. The team needed to aggressively run the ball, stay in-bounds, not fumble. and collect a first down. Dallas has to seal the game instead of punt.

I am celebrating the win, however that sequence was puzzling.

 

[DandyDon1722]

We are what our record says we are.

An average football team with a good defense, a below average offense and a flawed management structure.

"Stayin' Alive" is no way to go through life.

 

[cern]

what I gleaned from the game:
l. our players are not quitters. even after the titans game.
2. garrett and linehan coach better then their jobs are on the line. jerry needs to rethink his motivation strategy.
3. dak can throw the ball if he gets rid of it quickly.

 

[Jake]

I've seen one-in-a-row enough times to take a wait and see approach with this team. Let's see what happens in Atlanta.

Listening to Cry, Eagles cry on the radio this morning is cracking me up, though.

 

[Irvin88_4life]

Atlanta just lost to the browns........ Doesn't mean anything I know just wanted to say it

 

[Bdubsgottagrub]

Hopefully after this game Dallas will start playing like Dallas. We still need to learn how to punch it in at the redzone and we can go far.. Seemed like every player after the game already has the mindset of praising the W, but focused on the next game right now

Lol, what does Dallas will start playing like Dallas mean? No offense, but based on the past twenty years that doesn’t sound good to me.

I’d much rather see Dallas start playing like the Saints or the Rams.

Agree with all of that and I am going to give them credit for not dispelling that Lincoln Riley rumor. It's one thing for your wife to tell you she's looking for another man, something else when she shows you his picture.

That #1 got a lift from that pregame scuffle and Dak and Zeke seemed to play angry. The entire team had the right attitude and they played it as a "must win" game. The question is can they do the same this Sunday? ATL flat kicked not only their butts last season but sent their QB on a spiral, a team worthy of the playoffs gets payback on that.

I love that they did not dismiss the Lincoln riley talk. seems the subtle message was received.

Would you be saying this if Dallas could just learn to punch it in the endzone? All year long i've seen them drive down the field, but just cant punch it in. Dallas playing like dallas wouldnt have this problem.

 

[MikeT22]

A nice run, to 7-9 or 8-8?

Could be, we'll see. But what would a loss have done for us?

I almost turned it off, watching clapper suck wind and withdraw into his wittle wub fest world of not being a meany... good grief, hes damn lucky that wasn't Rodgers out on the field with 53 seconds to beat his dumb weak arse.

Ya can't believe they wouldnt just run up the gut 3 times in a row at the end there...

Yawn...…...give it a rest already. That was a great game last night, but that was about as out of character as you will ever see from Garrett and Linehan with regards to play calling and coaching. No doubt they will be right back to conservative, non creative BS next game.

It means they will be bringing their A game on Sunday.

You have to favor the Falcons in this game. Better team, at home, coming off of a loss.

 

[cern]

game ball to lve. his play when he beat two blockers and tackled the eagle for a loss at the end of the game was the most critical play of the game.
