Pyrrhic Victory

[Doomsday101]

114 rushing total, not a lot but we got schooled by the worst team in the NFL…..happy about that? Is this championship play? Of course not. If Dak plays like this in the playoffs, we are toast.

all Houston had was a running game and they avg 3.1 a carry. Go learn something before coming here and popping off on crap you evidently do not understand. Then you throw in Dak which had nothing to do with the Texans running game. Houston had a total of 36 carries in the game for a whopping 3.1 yards a carry.

That would be impossible. I don't know that he used the term Pyrrhic victory correctly. It doesn't just mean lucky to win. Had Dak, Pollard, and Lamb gone down to injury for the season, that would be a Pyrrhic victory.

A Pyrrhic victory is a victory that inflicts such a devastating toll on the victor that it is tantamount to defeat.
Injuries, horrible play, embarrassment…..Pyrrhic victory….get a dictionary. Thanks

If this was a Dallas receiver it would have been incomplete. Too bad we cant do a double blind test. Officiating is biased against dallas and the most obvious case is where they almost always spot the ball short on line to gain. Always. Other teams almost never when it is close.

You must not watch much football, No one is out to get the Cowboys.

If you think 114 yards given up on the ground is a lot wait until you hear about the Eagles giving up 168 to the same team on fewer carries.

I get you're doing the whole villain doom and gloom thing, and unless the Cowboys win the superbowl you'll have the chance to come back on here and say "I told you so!", but you have to create arguments that make sense. The Cowboys defense may end up having more struggles against the run in the future, but they have been fantastic in that area as of late.

A brilliant thread. This should tell all who are on the Super Bowl wagon they can now get off. But they wont. Until we are dismissed in the playoff round.

Ok so you are on the Super Bowl wagon too? OMG, did you see Dak’s horrible, horrible play until the final minutes? He aint going to be able to recover like this against good teams. Not going to happen.

Guess T-RO gave this guy his connect. ; )

I watch every game. The Dez Bryant Catch was the officials and Blandino out to get the Cowboys.

Throw in Dak. Anyone here want to tell me Dak looked anything but terrible yesterday until the final drive??? That wont work against good teams. Believe me.

Yeah I'm a fan so if my team is 10-3 I have superbowl admirations. I can't tell if you're just afraid of getting your hopes up or just really want to be Stephen A Smith, but i'm going to choose to actually enjoy the ride when my teams are championship-caliber. And if they fall short they fall short. Ill enjoy the rest of the playoffs as I'm a football fan, and Ill be eager for draft season then we get to try this all over again!

other NFL games besides the Cowboys? I don't dispute bad calls happen and some questionable calls but that happens throughout the NFL. You want to buy into they are out to get the Cowboys be my guest. Officials called 3 penalties on the Cowboys yesterday seems a small number for a group out to get the Cowboys. The catch vs Joseph, was a close and not clear evidence to overturn the ruling on the field. Had they ruled that incomplete there still could be not enough evidence to overturn the call

Nope, I wont sit here and praise Dak for what happened yesterday, but you can't just take the worst case scenario and run with it. What if we get the Minnesota game version of Dak throughout the playoffs? No one knows what will happen next month, but laying down and accepting defeat at this point is just sad.

That would be “aspirations” genius. And yes get your Kleenex ready, Dak aint leading this team to a super bowl. He was simply dreadful yesterday against the worst team in the NFL. Dreadful.

You hit the nail on the head. You dont know what version you are getting and in the playoffs it is always the bad version. LMAO

No Dak played poorly in this game. That does not mean he will play bad the rest of the way. he has also played great games. I can't be that knee jerk reaction of a fan. It was 1 game and to make more out of it than need be is just stupid. Yes if Dak plays that way in post season we will not win, if this team plays like they did yesterday they will not win in post season but again it was 1 single game and people like you go complete overboard. What are you 10?

The was clear evidence for ball movement and it hit the ground. Not controlled. What am I missing? If it was Ceedee it would have been an incomplete pass. I have watched too much of this crap to know what I see.

No you are over emotional and think people are out to get the Cowboys. You are so full of it. lol I agree questionable call no clear evidence at least not enough to overturn the call

A true fan!

dude. That is a true Cowboy fan. We have all seen this movie before and know how it ends.

Dak has played poorly in postseason and will again. You cannot tell me horrible play against the worst team in the NFL is a positive sign. Dak will never lead this team to a Super Bowl.
