10 Things I Think I Think

1. I think the way the Cowboys lost Sunday is going to leave a mark. Down five, 46 seconds left at arch-rival Philadelphia. Four plays and three big penalties on the Eagles bring Dallas to the Philly six-yard line with 26 seconds left. Eighty yards! To the verge of victory against the best team in the game! Dallas win probability with 46 seconds left: 3.7 percent, per Next Gen Stats. Dallas win probability, with 27 seconds left at the Eagles’ six with no timeouts left: 48.6 percent. A coin flip, basically. Then false start, sack, incomplete, delay of game, pass short of the end zone, end of game. Yikes.
2.
I think kudos go to the Eagles, to be sure. But to be great, you’ve got to make great plays in big moments. The Cowboys just don’t do that.

Most frustrating regular season loss as I can remember.

Refs.

Three fumbles, we recovered 0.

Schoon stopped just short because he was tackled with the ball in the air.

Dak stepping out on the 2 pt try.

False start then sack when it looked like we were going to rip the Eagles hearts out. In Philly. Man, would that have been sweet.

Feels like we were the better team but Philly was just way more clutch. Helps when the zebras are on your side too.

Weird game ............lots of opportunities but NOT ONE went our way. I'm confident if Daks continues to play like he did Sunday, we still have a real chance for a special season.

BTW.....how many dropped balls were there? I stop counting.....lol

I got to be honest here I turned on lawman bass reeves when the zebras called that PI on Gilmore

I knew it wasn’t gonna end well but I guess the cowboys put on a show the last 7 minutes only to find a way to lose?

I read @Bobhaze post and ivthi k that exemplifies the team

Some are gonna blame the qb , some the defense, some the coach I blame the culture from top to bottom

I hadn’t penciled this game as a W in fact I figured they’d lose a close one and I figured the line would let us down and I was partially correct

Anyway I know I’m over it I see the cowboys winning the next 3 and could be in ok position to steal one in the gauntlet at the end of the season

Or they won’t either way it’s entertainment and I’m just not getting excited about it

Elite QBs don’t melt under pressure. Dak lost his poise when it was time to win the game. Philly practically begged us to take the game and we couldn’t accept. Dak is a good QB but he needs to play better in the big moments to be elite.

yeah it was gifted to the Eagles. We flagged ourselves into losing at the end. Then Dak takes a sack. Thats ball game. We are an undisciplined team and, in these situations, u can't win like that.
Not only that the eagles gave us the gift of going all the way down the field with penalties. I mean, I don't think I've ever seen a team with that much momentum just lose a game like that. It's crazy. The eagles defensive backs have no clue who they were covering. I mean, spike that ball and you got shots to the end zone with blow coverages everywhere.

the flags killed us late. Then Dak held the ball and was sacked. That was ballgame. Heartbreaking as a fan. 27 years . This never gets any easier for me.

I thought he blew it on the previous drive taking those sacks but Philly gave us the ball back and we just couldn’t close.
I watched the end of Texans game earlier and saw CJ Stroud march his team down the field in the final 45 seconds to win. I just don’t understand why Dak can’t be as poised as that rookie.
