You said "Cool then I guess the defense will have to do."

As if the offense didn't do anything. Seems you fail to appreciate that 30 points is a good day in the NFL, and esp. good against a top-five defense.

Gotta punch it in from first and goal from the one. Agreed. Thing is it's NOT the playoffs yet and I'm sure we could poke holes in the eagles and 9'ers week two victories (both winning by 6 and 7 respectively) with the same "can't do this vs Dallas" logic. See how this works? Every week in the NFL is dictated by game circumstances and opponent. They had no chance vs our D. Just don't turn the ball over and take what's given.

Only complaint i had is we ran too many horizontal plays plays down by the goal line instead of of vertical up the middle plays and got negative yards from them. The jets have a great defense so I am happy with 30 points and we dont have our entire starting Ol playing together yet. I hope we do at some point.

I was going to start this thread, but you beat me too it. And I know you will get shouted down for this thread. But you and I are on the same page. Do I love the win? Yes! Do I think we are entitled to win? No! It is hard to win in this league. BUT....BUT....it is even harder to win in the playoffs. The playoffs represent the best teams, gameplans and coaches. And this offense will get you 11 - 13 wins in the regular season(which we already do)...you will win ONE playoff game (which we already do)....and you will then get sent home.

Our arrogance is WHY we lost to the 49ers 2 years in a row. We ran it back...thinking surely it must have been a fluke...and then they decided to beat us with a 7th round rookie to prove to us it wasn't a fluke. And not once did they think they would lose to us. Do you know why? Because they were not scared of this offense. And I don't care what the scores have been...unless you plan for the defense to only give us 5 ppg....or to sack the QB at this rate....or to generate turnovers at this rate....we will not beat the BEST teams in the NFL.

That is where this organization is right now. I will enjoy THIS win...but until I see how we perform against the best teams in the league...I will not allow myself to get too high or too low.

I was worried how we would look in short yardage...and I still am. And I was worried if our outside WRs could be physical and win 50-50 balls...and I still am. Either they don't trust Dak or they don't trust their WRs...because Gallup was 1 v 1 often inside the 5 on the outside and they never even made an attempt. There is no Dez or Micheal Irvin on this roster...so either get these big TEs prepared to play bully ball inside the 5...or it will be tough sledding when we play the upper ecehlon teams!

Horrible redzone execution today. Can’t leave points on the board against the Niners and Eagles.

A lot of the play calling was conservative down there. We should have got a TD when it was 1st and goal from the 1. But once it was 24-10, all we needed were the 3 points. These aren't the Eagles or 49ers. Game was over up by 3 scores.

Hey...if you are going to tell Mike is going scheme for what this team is missing....then I would love to be pleasantly surprised. Because like I said....what was missing today you will not get from Dak, Pollard or Cee Dee. And I say that with an appreciation for all 3 of those guys. We don't have a physical WR on the outside and I don't like the personnel on this team in short yardage. Maybe the guy that was suspended for the first 2 games will be that guy? And Pollard is someone you are going to have to pace if your goal is to play a 17 game season and a 4 game postseason.

Cowboys ran when they probably could have passed, played a conservative red zone offense. If they had needed tds instead of fgs, they maybe would have played differently.

Even if they didn't play all that well in the red zone, it's only game 2, plenty of time to work on that.

I'll take a 30-10 win any day, all day....

They wouldn’t have 4 turnovers and the time of possession would be much closer. Low margin for error.

Do you understand that some of those plays were by design? They ran the clock and did not need to show their plays for the league to have tape.
