None of us can predict this stuff

[Diehardblues]

As a follower of the NFL and the Cowboys for decades, one of the very few things I can predict is the NFL is completely unpredictable. Whatever you think is going to happen is about as reliable as a rain dance. Today’s 34-26 win in Washington was one of the wildest roller coasters I’ve ever seen in a football game.

The Cowboys went into this game today against the 7-2 Commanders as a 10.5 point underdog, reeling from a 5 game losing streak where scoring even one touchdown would be an accomplishment. So who had the Cowboys scoring 31 points in the second half to win by 8? Not me. Or how about the Cowboys giving up an 86 yard TD pass leading by 7 and the commodes without a timeout, only to see their kicker shank a PAT to basically blow the game?

So I’m already seeing many fans here “predicting” that the Cowboys “could go on a win streak and maybe make the playoffs”. Have those fans been paying attention at all this year?

All I’m saying here is none of us know what’s going to happen. If the horrible giants and their lousy QB Joey DeVito come into AT&T this Thursday and beat the Cowboys I won’t be at all surprised.

There are two things I believe at this point. 1. The NFL is completely unpredictable and 2. The 2024 Dallas Cowboys are still not a very good team.

Definitely most bizarre ending I’ve ever seen.

And for those Homers who have predicted as such are why Trolls like Stephen A take aim at us.

And if I could add on to that Bob we are horribly coached running in for a touchdown and not going down and running the game out not trying to get a first down and put the game away it's unbelievable.

To ever think with this coaching staff that you would have a chance to win a playoff game is just laughable we tried by every means possible to give that game back to them they just wouldn't take it

I don't necessarily subscribe to the "Team Tank" nonsense that floats around here because there's no guarantee that the FO will get that pick right. Just play the games.

Any time that you can beat Washington is a beautiful thing. Factor in that it's their third loss in a row, and it's incredible.

Bottom line for me is the Cowboys are still a Swiss cheese team. Holes all over it.

Yep. And Wash is much worse than I expected .

Good news is we haven’t given up yet. Still have some fight. Both sides of the ball played much better.

Until the scoring frenzy and chaos in 4th qtr it’s still a challenge for us putting up points.

Performances like this down the stretch could save McCarthys job.

Divion games above all else are very difficult to predict. The Cowboys even managed to beat Washington in 1989, finishing 1-15.

LOL, and don't forget, the onsides kick return for a TD just to keep Washington in the game. We probably won't see a more circus like entertaining game like this in a long time. It was like a good comedy show.

Who is Joey DeVito? You mean Tommy? Might as well be Danny. Cowboys fans should throw frozen chicken cutlets out on to the field. I won't be surprised by the outcome of this game either way. But at least we might win and my Thanksgiving won't be tarnished. Hopefully.

All those DeVito’s ….I‘m just overwhelmed!
