The team was in a lose, lose, or lose situation as it relates to fan/media response today.
Situation 1 - Dallas wins big. "Of course we should win this game, we only beat bad teams. We still stink."
Ding Ding Ding. We gotta winner -> Situation 2 - Dallas squeezes one out. "We play down to competition" and choose to ignore blowing out Rams and comfortable wins over Eagles and Commanders.
Situation 3 - Dallas loses. "We are terrible, no way we win division or are competitive in playoffs."
I too am not happy about the game. This should not have been a close game but a different outcome would not have changed my opinion of the team. Going forward, the Saints and Packers (and a CHI*with Cutler) games will reveal whether this team can be competitive in the playoffs. I have got to see them win against good teams to believe they can get over the hump and beat a SF or SEA in the first round. Great to still pull out a win today with the overall poor performance and play calling but the team was not going to receive praise for any outcome vs a now 1-7 team.
5-4, onto the Saints.
