On paper, and probably on the field, they are not a good team, however they are sitting at 4-4 now. Especially after getting taken to the woodshed against a similar" not a good team, but their record isnt bad" opponent in the Bronco's, we cant take this game lightly.

I always say never underestimate a team with a veteran QB.
 
Just need a good week of practice. Reset and take a breath. Same with the fans. I was so mad yesterday. Was no reason not to pull it together in the second half and have a solid performance. Dak had bad passes and WR had some bad drops. Those took points off the board. We shouldn’t go for most every 4th down. I like it but the playcalling the whole game looked like there was no prep work.
 
With the talent margins razor thin in this league, you have to hope this team takes no team lightly on its schedule. The lesson yesterday that should be crystal clear: You don’t bring your A game, you get beat.
 
Doesn't matter who we play if the defense and offense doesn't show up again. You guys should know by now I put my hat on defense. I wouldn't even talk offense if I didn't have to. Just because the offense didn't show up for Dallas didn't mean the defense should of taken the day off also. Very disappointed because I thought they were turning the corner. Hope Tank and Gallimore get back soon. Very soon. No Defense!! No Rings!!
 
How well do the Cowboys handle adversity? This game against the Falcons will answer that question. The schedule doesn't get easier so this season could quickly take a nosedive for the Cowboys.
 
Sunday can't get here soon enough, after a loss like that I need a mouthwash game, that did not taste well at all. That was a game where it seemed as if, talent, motivation, leadership and creativity all took the day off. Everyone should be looking in the mirror today. Hopefully it was a learning experience, a hiccup not soon to be revisited.
 
Well, I hope D. Quinn has some really good intel on his former team and how to beat them! :D

The offense is going to have to do its part to help out the defense in our case.

We are not going to be able to win games on defense alone. They spent way too much time on the field yesterday.

When the defense doesn't show up, there still a chance to win. When the offense plays like it did yesterday theres no shot.

If you told me before the game yesterday that Denver would score 30, I'd have said we would win.
 
The similarity of the Falcons to the Broncos is right there. The Broncos were 4-4 and coming off a win and headed to ATT. The Falcons are 4-4 and coming off a win and headed to ATT. Neither was or is out of the playoff race.

There are two kinds of dangerous teams, the ones better than the Cowboys and the ones looking to turn it around against America's Team because that seems to be the sweetest cure.

The Cowboys better tighten their chin straps because the Falcons aren't scared of them and think they're just as good. I seem to remember them needing to turn their season at home at the Cowboys expense and the Cowboys failed to prepare for them, because, and this is eerily similar, their missing LT.

Right now Id say we really need Tyron back. But that is probably its own separate category. LT's dont grow on tree's

Agree, but our DT is a major weakness. Thought the Kentucky kid would help out some, now don't get me wrong, knew from being a heels fan that J. Williams is the real deal and next year will be the primary back for Denver but he ran all over us for his only 100 yard game splitting time with Gordon this year. But we need an upgrade at the DT spot.
