I'm gonna start this off with Dez Bryant. I know saying anything other then he's the best is unpopular around here but he's not. I'm wondering if he is stuck on his contract talks that are coming up which he said he wouldn't think bout until the offseason. He's been marginal since all the fuss was made by him after signing with roc nation. I think he just needs to get his head back to just playing. He's not getting open and is spending more time fighting with coaches then trying to help out his qb on the field. Guy is a freak but he needs to be more then that.

Murray is the MVP this yr in my book, but that award needs to go to this OL and I'm being 100%serious. You put AP or Jamal Charles behind this OL and they destroy the record books. I'm thankful every week though to know Murray is running the ball for the Cowboys. I just don't think he will be running it for Dallas next yr. last time somebody was used this much by a team in a single yr was Larry Johnson and his career was over a few years later but never had the same kind of yr again. It takes it's toll.

Dallas really lacks speed at the wr spot. TW is serviceable but he is not a guy who is going to scare anybody. Dallas needs to work Beasley in but I think they don't trust his ability to take a hit. People compare him to other small wrs but guys like welker are bigger. Amendola took the hits and was broken every yr. Look what's happened to desean Jackson. I think Dallas needs to find that we who has the speed to stretch the field.

Love Witten but I think he istaking away from the team being able to groom his replacement. Witten is still mr reliable but teams are able to take him out of the gameplay more with leers where before that was an automatic first down. Think Escobar needs more snaps during the game. He adds a speed factor that Witten can't. You're never going to know what you have in a player until you let him play.

People are going to say this defense was garbage this game. The bears just got lucky with some desperation garbage Time plays. And that turn momentum. But Dallas took away the outside and allowed the bears to dink and dunk in the middle and they ate up their own clock. Teams did this to Dallas all last yr in the fourth quarter. And the ending was the same as it was tonight. Game ending int. how many time did we see that happen to romo last yr.

Orlando Scandrick is turning into a top tier cb in this league. That 5yr 25 mil deal Jerry gave him a few years ago seems like pure genius now,Barry Church is playing for 2mil that's robbery. Bruce Carter is one of my favorites but is time is over in Dallas. That brings sadness to me. But I think he will hook up with a 3-4 team next yr become one of the better leers in the nfl. Just seems better suited to play inside in that 3-4.

I'm wondering why Dallas won't try Lawrence on the weak side and slide mincey over to the strong side. Is not like spencer or selvie are giving Dallas anything at all. Crawford is starting to come in his own. But he still doesn't have the ability to get sacks, or isn't aware of his surroundings because he's always around the qb but is always just there not really going after the qb. It's just weird.

Dallas is made for these cold games. And it's going to be cold in Philly. Maybe you folks can enjoy this win and take a break from everything is doomed. Enjoy the win and wait for the next.

Good thoughts. The defense was lousy for a while but they did their job early and then finally did seal it. The biggest problem in the 4th was Escobar dropping that easy onside kick.

All said a very nice win. Definitely a playoff type offense. 3rd downs went much better overall and Garrett coached well.

Defense was very good. Room made his stats in the fourth quarter last yr. you look at his stats in quarters 1-3 and he's geno smith lol. Bears were desperate and they took what Dallas gave them. And the bears ate up the clock dink and dunking. This game was over before the 4th quarter started

Tied for 3rd amongst WR's with 10 TD's. 12th in 20+ yard grabs while playing with what may end up a record breaking rushing team. Still only 10th in targets. 48 more yards and he'll have a 1,000. I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on this one. Dez is a monster.

When you open up with Dez isn't beating coverage you lose all credibility with the rest of your post. Sorry LM put the agenda away

I have to be able to have Jerry's ear for my thoughts to be labeled an agenda. Wish you people would stop using that word. They're my thoughts. I'm not trying to sway anybody's mind in here. I just don't see him playing like he was earlier in the yr.

Wow.. the Dez Bryant talk again. Meanwhile, Terrance Williams is absent for a 3rd game without a catch. Another big fat 0 in the receptions column.
Talked bout him too try reading

Please LM you did this last week as well. You keep pushing the same tired argument that Dez isn't that good. 158, 86, 73 , 82 and 4TDs 22 catches his last 4 weeks what are you talking about?

I did and you called him "serviceable." How is 3 games of 0 receptions from a number 2 receiver "serviceable?" He's getting outplayed by Beasely right now.

And people wanted to say Dez disappears.

Tw is playing and has been playing with a broken finger. And Beasley will be back to his minimal 1 catch next week. They both could replaced by somebody else next yr for all I care. Tw is by far the better we tho. Tw has more tds this yr then Beasley has in his career.

Yes, Terrance is "supposed" to be the guy who stretches the field, is the perfect compliment to Dez, blah blah blah.
