Some positives to take into week 16

[Nirvana]

1. Demarco Murray looks great and we had success running the ball.
2. Romo in the post-game presser appeared to learn from the loss, recognizing and taking responsibility for his mistakes in audibling out of run plays and making errant throws. These were lessons that need to be learned if we are to ever have success going forward.
3. The first half offense looked crisp and there were nice contributions from Williams and Escobar in particular, along with Dez, Witten and Murray.
4. Bailey is money and it can't be overstated how important a good kicker is in big games.
5. Selvie was lights-out in the first half, before going down in the second.
6. Sterling Moore is making nice plays including the interception which was huge. This was a great pick-up and gives our nickel packages a better third corner than Webb.
7. With the Eagles loss, we still have a chance to win the division with winning our last two games.

This was a very deflating loss but being as I got to watch only the first half (second half via radio at work,) I probably have a unique perspective on the game. The Cowboys looked great in the first half, though obviously we had to settle for field goals on a few of the drives instead of TDs. The defense looked stout in particular, forcing punts on a regular basis.

Anything can happen in the playoffs. This team can learn from this loss and make a push. Hoping for just that.

LOL…where have we heard that before?

Winning is all that matters in the era of parity.

In regard to #2, isn't that something a 30+ year old starter should have learned before week 15 of his sixth season as full-time starter?

1. Demarco Murray looks great and we had success running the ball.

He'll probably get 11 total carries over the next 2 games.

Wow, you're expecting a lot of overtime then?

Yeah this is like fourth or fifth time we've heard this from Romo. I'm not holding my breath.

I swear our coaching staff and qb are stupid. Up by as much as we were up we should of been running the ball alot. Murray was running at will. And we just stop running. Its like romo was seeing murray get the shine and then wanted to go into passing mode to be the hero and ended up the JOKER. smh.

1.) Murray won't get enough carries to make an impact, for a full game, despite averaging 8 yards a carry
2.) Romo has said that after every single game he lost his entire career
3.) We only show up for offense for one half (first or second), if at all
4.) Bailey is the most consistent player on the team
6.) Sterling Moore, free agent all year long outplays Carr and Scandrick in debut.. okayyyy
7.) Can't even begin to be excited for the last 2 games after what has been happening with this team the last few seasons specifically, and this last month has been horrible. 2 blowouts and an epic collapse.

While I agree.

This team has nowhere to go in the playoffs.
It's been so clearly evident, you can almost set your watch to it.

They are the sacrificial Lamb for the playoffs.
How does that make any fan feel?

The only thing that gives me hope is that this team is as dumb as many here have been saying.
So dumb, they don't only know how to lose the games they are supposed to win, but also too dumb to lose the game they are supposed to win.

That's all any non-delusional fan can hope for now.
And even that's delusional...

You must be joking.

Yeah I'm not excited either, but it's a crazy league. Bengals are getting blown out right now as an example. You just never know.

You must be joking.

Motive more along the lines of trying to feel a bit better than I do, was very deflating. If things continue to crumble I hope the firings are swift and plentiful.

 

[Stash]

The positive is that we are one game closer to change.

And this bunch of incompetent goofs being shown the door.

Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye!
