When we needed to run and they knew it, their defense stoned us. Had our D been able to do that last week, we'd be 2-0.

I've said this for a few years, but this D relies on the opposition to screw up, and today Cousins complied. We'd never have stopped a competent QB on that last drive.

If you take a look at some of these offenses in the league, you will see that they will shred the dallas defense. I really hope they step up. We still got some players coming back. Play calling and execution will need to be on point.

Equally annoying is the homer fan like yourself that can't deal with sports fans leveling legit criticism of their teams.

I guess that means all Browns fans are bad fans because they all know their team has no shot at the SB this year.

criticism that is backed by 0 verifiable facts can never be called legit. You have no stats no numbers no anything to back up your Chicken Little attitude, it's just a gut feeling and that's the difference between you and the Browns fans you speak of. We are 1 game behind the Giants because we lost to them 20-19 (note not 55-19). It's all "Well if Cousins had done ___" or "They should have scored". Facts state those things didn't happen. If you can't accept facts go to a Eagles board where your constant Cowboys bashing will be more popular.

How have they done the last 18 games? Last in the NFL.

How much were they thrown on in those last 18 games, last in the NFL (well probably second to last) could there be a correlation... Nah. Btw how are we doing this year?

We played against one of the worst offenses in the league and our defense got butchered we suck at defense if this is the way it's going to be every game is going to be close and high scoring matches something we are not very good at.

say what you want, our defense is struggling. AND OP we played the Giants last week just to give you a reminder that offense sucks also.

They played well enough to win last week and the offense didn't and they were a huge part of why we won today. But yes complain like most of you do with the situational footba blah blah.

They made the plays that had to make.

People think the defense sucks if it does not look like the '85 Bears.

It put a real strain on the defense with the failed on-side kick and the lost fumble, but they limited the TDs and came up with an INT at the most critical point in the game.

You have to be happy with the players we've put on the field. The secondary is working magic without any qb pressure. The D will only get better. It's hard not to be encouraged as a rational fan (post-Romo).

Who's hating? I don't see a good or even average defense on the field. Apparently you do. It wasn't a play here or there this week. Cousins was horrible 90% of the game. We were lucky he played like crap.

Good enough to win. Church made the interception, he could have dropped it but didn't. Durant could have gave up the completion to Garcon on 4th down but didn't. Not saying the defense is great but the same ones saying we have to score 30 points....which is wrong, ate the same ones making excuses for not giving props to the defense

The Cowboys pressure on Cousins was dreadful. Cowboy fans are going to be holding their breaths all year long until this team provides a consistent pass rush.

The Cowboys barely beat a bad team (on not their best day). I'm happy for the victory, but not delusional to think this team can compete with the big boys of the NFL.

I'm taking it one game at a time. Not every game is pretty. Sometimes you play ugly, but getting the win is most important. Not only that it was a division game so records mean jack. Until we play the best teams you are only speculating what will happen
