Dak was the 3rd best QB on the field today.

The defense was off and looked really bad at times.

The special teams weren't good and it started with Turpin killing the momentum.

We were out coached in every facet.

If we would've played probably 30 other teams today we lose.

Yes, it was ugly and we got the win, but it's okay to be critical and disappointed with how terrible everyone looked today. It's not all sunshine. The team we saw today is an easy out and it's okay to point that out.
All wins are not created equal and today was about as ugly as it gets.

That's what you take out of today?

Style points?

No wonder ya'll surprised every time we get bullied in the playoffs.
You quoted one person, who the hell is this y'all you talking about?

I understand the shortcomings of this team, as well as where their weaknesses lie. But I also understand that this team needs to start making the playoffs every year. Confidence comes from accomplishments. Meaning success breeds success. They need to believe in order to achieve. And it all starts off with making the playoffs year after year, after year.

Sacrilege. If you didn't enjoy the win today immensely, you are a heathen. A bad fan. The gap between you and Rockport in terms of fandom is the size of the Pacific Ocean.

Right. I'm pissed we struggled but at the end of the day its far better to win that game than lose it. This team isn't good enough to apologize for winning against a bad Texans team. This isn't the 90's Cowboys.

That's actually the point those of us that aren't jumping up and down like we won the Super Bowl are trying to make. We're not contenders.

It's funny how once Rush threw 2 INTs against the BEST TEAM IN THE NFC POSSIBLY NFL the debate was over, it's Dak's team. Yet Dak throws 2 INTs almost every game even against the WORST TEAM IN THE NFL, no problemo.

What do you call people that claim to love this or that, but turn around and talk bad about the very thing they claim to love?

Is it OK to talk bad about your kids, your wife, or your mother even though you claim to love them?

Crazy are the people who struggle with self control.

Loving a team is not the same as loving your family. It's a 52 man roster, are you saying there's never been a Dallas Cowboy you wanted them to replace? What about someone who wanted to replace Quincy Carter when he was QB? Does that mean they don't love the Cowboys? It seems you claim you have to love Dak Prescott to love the Cowboys, I was a Dallas Cowboy fan before Dak was even alive.

The fact of the matter is if after Dak's 2nd INT of the day Houston would have scored a TD that puts them up 10 with about 4 minutes to go and the game is over. Yes, Dak indeed led Dallas to a game winning drive but for all that wish to applaud, you should be nervous that Dallas struggled against a vastly inferior team and almost lost.

Right so since you kno we aren't contenders maybe you should be jumping up? Maybe? Since we suck and all.

If they are your team them cheer for your team. Love and support go hand in hand in my book.

Yes there are players I think we need to find replacements for. But my love for the team out weighs my disapproval of a couple of players.

Not concerned. The NFL is hard. I knwo it looks easy. But its hard to win in the NFL.You know that Colts team we beat up on after struggling? Chiefs lost to that same team.

Like that Lex Luger, but don’t mellow out on me, love it when you jump guys while doing interviews from behind.
