So I said that Dallas would lose by two TDs.
That didn't happen. After a PopWarner game, in the 1st half, by both teams; Dallas scored their 1st TD, in the 3rd Q, for the 1st time this season
Took Dallas 12 games to find the endzone, in the 3rd Q.

The craziness happen in the 4th Q.

After many embarrassments, this Dallas has displayed -- SO FAR -- this season, I understand why my fellow Cowboys fans are happy after
beating a division rival. But this win is like a Participation Award
Even with this win, Dallas still has a less than 10% chance of making the playoffs and would any Dallas fans even want to make the post season? Be honest
Would be another one a done but what this win does it hurt this team in April

Any Dallas fan that hopes of Travis Hunter is now done. Dallas is not going to trade UP and use drafts picks, which they need more of to get one player that doesn't help this franchise in the trenches --offensive or defense wise.

Dallas had ( past tense) the 9th draft pick slot and with the win, just got worse. And if Dallas can beat the Commanders ( yes, Commanders), the Giants are worse and even worse than Dallas. At least NY Giants are smart enough to "tank" correctly. Dallas is even screwing this process up

So enjoy the win and I understand for the joy but long-term, meaning in April, any WINS now hurts this draft position because the Cowboys are not making the playoffs
and picking in the middle of the draft only hinders. But then again, the Cowboys can't even draft well for the past 2 seasons so why not, go ahead win as much as you can because this franchise is that much messed up. Can't "tank" correctly, can't draft correctly and can't use FA correctly so whatever.

Enjoy Thanksgiving game and being with family.

I want to tank but I don’t want this team to suck intentionally. They played hard. Down a lot of guys.

I am firmly in the team tank camp.
But if you are gonna screw up and win a game, the skins in DC is that game!

This was one of the weirdest games I ever saw. Yes, the Cowboys scored 34 points, but needed two kick return TD's to get there (the second one, Juanyeh Thomas should have just fell down and secured the win). Cooper Rush looked really good but the offense only scored two TD's.

Dallas left a ton of points out there early in the game with MORE bad playcalling. I am thrilled with the win, but the truth is the Cowboys only won because the Commanders made more mistakes than they did.

If the Commies didn't miss that PAT and the game went into overtime at 27-27, the mood here might be a lot different.
