Those losses not looking as bad in hindsight as they seemed at the time.

It's so hard to tell because it's impossible to know from year to year how it is going to play out. The Arizona loss is definitely the outlier right now.

You guys keep going back to these losses - I get it, they hurt

But we sucked back then , that’s the truth. You cant look at those games the same, we were a significantly worse team in those losses. Move on. It is what it is.

I guess the cardinals game was really the only embarrassing loss.

These are the kind of teams they would face in the playoffs.. so they have to get their ish together.

NFL football is the best.

Um no JBS I am saying the opposite. I am saying they no longer hurt as they did when they happened now that we see how good these teams continue to play and beat other teams

Dont tell me to move on, this is a fresh point

Youre giving me grief when you didnt even understand something obvious, thats a shame

yup

Not to mention....AT HOME!

 

[Creeper]

The way the defense played early was embarrassing, regardless of who the opponent was. The Bears are certainly a surprising team. Losing to the Cardinals was bad and I thought they should have beaten the Panthers.

Those losses aren’t what’s hurting us. It’s the home loss to 3-9 Arizona that likely keeps us out of the playoffs.

I understand your perspective, It helps ease that stigma a little bit,

but a loss is a loss they all hurt that Panther game hurt the worst because, they're sitting there right now in the same small grouping looking for that wild card spot, so that's a huge loss, But yes we can all agree the Cardinals loss being at home, being what they've done before and after the Cowboys game, It just hurts the worst ,

you can't lose home games like that it was an NFC conference game that's the worst one of the years, it typically is that game seems to be the one that's always the wart on our season, I don't know what it is with the Cardinals...

I don't think that was his point I think his point is it stings less that it's more understandable but you're right you can't have a home lost to an NFC conference team that's that bad I mean that's the more surprising thing is we lost at home to an inferior team although at the time our team was still very incomplete..

But yes we all agree the Cardinals game it will always be the Cardinals game as a big old wart on our season more than just this year..

You mean outside of the last three times
Arizona whooped Dallas before? When does it become the norm?

Yep. Getting their teeth kicked in by the Broncos was not embarrassing at all. More of a coming out moment.

They have it together. Now they need to keep it together. The coaches need to continue to have solid game plans and the players need to execute. They have the beef( trenches)!

Go Cowboys!

Dak is not elite. We could have had 3 superbowls if not for his contract. He couldn't carry the team as the highest paid player.

Man we had mazi smith playing slot corner for a few series it was a mess

Is this like one of Jerry's moral victories?

Yup.....this is a different defense for sure, however the teams needs to pay attention to the lack of their potent offense in the Panthers, Cardinals and Broncos games.

The Bronco d is legit but Panthers and Cardinals are in the bottom half of the league.

The Boys only scored 1 TD in the last half of the Panthers game and 2 TDs in the entire game against the Cards.
