Philly game was a blessing in disguise

[TheSport78]

What we witnessed offensively yesterday should prove that it ALL starts up front, and re-signing Murray to a lucrative extension would be a monumental mistake. Murray had what, 73 yards yesterday?

I would take the money we'd use on Murray, and look to improve at LG and/or RT for next year. I don't care if you have Emmit Smith or Jim Brown behind that line yesterday; they wouldn't have gone anywhere.

Hopefully this opens the organization's eyes and doesn't re-sign Murray unless it's cap friendly and works for the Cowboys.

The O-Line had a bad game. Could we upgrade LG and RT? Sure. Are they burning priorities? Not considering the junk we have on defense.

I think the price for every Dalla$ free agent re-signing went down yesterday.

I do not know why people are concerned about cap space when we can always do whatever we want in free agency.

Jerry will find a way to make RGIII a Cowboy.

Absolutely. The OL is not the issue. Funny how one bad game means Murray can't play and two OL starters need to go when the defense was gang raped.

Agreed. It amazes that people are ready to jump off based off of yesterday. The season isn't over and this team still has a lot to play for. I'm excited to see what we do these last 4 weeks. We control what we do. We don't need any help right now to get into the playoffs if we win.

yesterday was a reality check. this team is not ready to compete with the better teams

Makes me think the OP didn't pay attention during the game.

We controlled what we did yesterday too.

The only reality check from yesterday is that the current HC will never adjust to a blitz.

With all the blessings in disguise this team had received over the years one would hope Wed have more than one playoff win in the last decade and a half

 

[mldardy]

I think his point is we were in the same position going into yesterday's game.

This is not a situation where all of the sudden everyone sits back and goes "wait a minute, we control our own destiny from here on out". That exists every week and does not magically turn on most of the time. Occasionally you see teams "wake up" and go on a run, but we have yet to see that out of a Garrett coached football team.

I'm talking about from now until the end of the season. Yesterday is done and over with. We didn't lose anything, we weren't eliminated yesterday. This is not hard to understand.

What was the Seattle game then?

Saint Cowboys.

A magical moment where during the offseason after missing the postseason again that we can remember fondly.

No. It is evidence that directly refutes that we can't "compete" with the better teams in the league.

Consistently would be nice though. We are in for a rough stretch.

Did "we control" what happened on the game yesterday?

There's no blessing in disguise in a butt whipping this time of year to a divisional opponent you're in a battle for the division title with. Yesterdays loss put the Cowboys in a tough situation with little to no room for error the last 4 weeks of the season. I remember someone trying to spin the loss to the Giants back in week 13 of the 2011 season was a blessing in disguise. The only blessing came to the winner of that game in Feb in the SB.

Who knows though? I think we can beat Indy, and I think we can beat Philly too, yesterday's game notwithstanding.
