If Dallas had lost as bad as San Francisco did ,everyone would be saying Dallas-stinks 7-10 seasons here it comes!
Who cares, lowlands lad?
Let them melt down over losing a glorified practice.
Let us instead focus on individual play by players.

I am cooking chicken gizzards with a mustard sauce. I have a tin of Earl Thomas tea.
Life is good, blokes.

Most should minus Dak
The one person who needs the work more than anyone else on the team probably won't play a single snap until opening week. What a joke...

I watched like maybe 10 minutes of the game. It's hard to care about pre-season when I know the starters aren't going to play, and we'll inevitably start off 0-1 because of it. Probably 0-2 since Daddy Rodgers is coming into town.

If the Cowboys win a preseason game but lose Micah Parson for the regular season, is that a victory?

Do you think Jaguar fans would be celebrating this game if Trevor Lawrence had been carted off the field?

No injuries and encouraging performances by the younger players is how you define "winning" when it comes to preseason games.

Actually winning or losing doesn't matter. It's great if you win but that's not the main point of the game. Hell cowboys didn't play many starters.

It's even harder to watch due to the offensive line play. It's hard to evaluate players. But Dallas hasn't started 0-2 since 2010.

At some point they have to get to game speed. Whether it's in practice or preseason. Either way, they can get hurt.

Baltimore has won like 24 preseason games in a row and they don’t have much to show for it. Preseason is preseason.

Which veteran starter that didn't play needs a preseason game to get to game speed, in your opinion?

Does anyone know if the starters will play this preseason?
I doubt very seriously many will. If some don’t get at least a series next week, they’ll I’ll be sitting for the third preseason game.
