Just ugh

[okstateCowboy]

Sloppy, but a great win. I am really glad we won't have to travel to Minnesota in January

 

[LucaBrasi]

Never seen a team blow thru entire schedule, maybe the 2007 Pats.

Good teams win games when not at their best. I'll take a 2 point win on the road vs a team fighting for their lives with a nasty, nasty defense all day long.

Plenty of coachable moments for sure, but it is nice to coach those moments after another win.

 

[AzorAhai]

You do know they won right?

 

[hornitosmonster]

The refs did take something huge away from us, Witten's streak is over

 

[TrailBlazer]

I thought Dallas was clearly the better team from the jump. No need to worry.

Survive and advance, we found away, Escobar sucks though, he has to go.

 

[jrumann59]

Minny can cover receivers so they gambled on 8 men stopping the run. Besides Dez no one else was doing much in the passing game.

a dismal evening all around. Sure I'm glad we won but wow. The botched center exchange when all we needed was a yard to ice the game was a fitting end to a putrid night in offense.
Doug Free needs to go. Problem is both our alternatives (Green and Collins) are hurt.
Escobar is a huge liability blocking as well. Who knew Swaim was so good?
If we play like that in 10 days we will lose by 4 touchdowns

The great thing is we won, but it "feels" like a lost. There is a lot that Garrett can do with this have over the next ten days.

What streak he caught a pass tonight

The Panthers went 15-1 last year in route to the Super Bowl

 

[Go Big D!]

Can we put all the Debbie downer threads in one? So anyone who was unhappy with the win tonight knows where to go?

 

[bayeslife]

What streak he caught a pass tonight

Negated by a penalty

 

[knightrider94]

Mike just kissed Dez! Mike is pumped. You can tell Mariucci is suffering! LOL!

 

[Nova]

We just look tired.

It's hard to sustain the level of play with the bruising games we've had on the docket (BAL, WSH and now MIN) in an 11 day span.

Glad we got out with the W and no significant injuries.

 

[bayeslife]

They were flagged on every drive where they were moving the ball. Not saying some weren't justified by the negated Elliot run and the Hitchens INT were so bs

 

[GIFTS86]

Negated by a penalty

Ohhh man I overlooked that. That is almost as bad as losing

 

[zeroburrito]

everyone says 3 games in 11 days, but only 1 game was on a short week and it wasn't this one.

a normal stretch would be 3 games in 14 days. big deal.

we played terribly. no excuses. still won the game though.

 

[Dale]

Did I miss something, I could swear the Cowboys won

They can't all be Picasso's!

Exactly. Look at any team's championship season. They're littered with ugly games where they barley squeaked by.

Take the win, learn from it, and move on to the next week.

 

[LucaBrasi]

The Panthers went 15-1 last year in route to the Super Bowl

They sure did. They played 2 nail biters against a mediocre saints team, gave up 17 unanswered to a terrible colts team before prevailing in ot at home, and lost to the equally mediocre Falcons to blow the perfect regular season.

The Cowboys survived tonight. A lot to get better at, but nice to try and do it off a win instead of a loss.

 

[Idgit]

No such thing as a dismal W.
