That was FUN!! I thoroughly enjoyed seeing us destroy the Giants tonight. Apparently, that may have been our largest shutout ever. It was amazing to see how we basically sucked the will out of the Giants to compete in the second half. After we scored the TD in the 3rd quarter, they appeared to give up. Dak looked good in the new system. The defence was INCREDIBLE! Special teams was amazing. Really, couldn't ask for much better out of a game. Mike did great!

Perfect game for our defense. Between the rain and the rust, our offense needed a game like that to get in some snaps with no real pressure.

Yup, it was as smooth as it could get overall. Now they can relax, enjoy the win, and then get back to practice in a few days to get ready for Aaron Rodgers.

You need some of these days where mostly everything goes right. Defense was just lights out... impressive. Offense didnt need to do much but was efficient in a bad weather night.

Hard to find anything to complain about besides the dropped passes, but it didn't matter.

I don't even know how to feel. Season openers are supposed to be kinda meh and followed by lots of finger pointing, "Season over" overreactions and sadness.

This is refreshing.

Only issue is I saw was Dak would lose track of the pass rush and hold the ball too long. Some of the drops were disconcerting but I will chalk that up to the weather but it needs to be cleaned up.

Only negative was the dropped passes. Other than that, you couldn’t ask for a better opening day win. Go Cowboys!

Yup, this was a perfect night for the Cowboys! Anytime you can hold an NFL team (especially a division rival) to 0, it's a perfect night.

That was fun. A lot of fun. It's been a long time since we won on opening day. It's so deflating to go all off season and then preseason and then lose the first game. And the way we won was incredible. We dominated a playoff team in their house and made it look easy. Fun win. It's nice to finally win an opening game and again it being a divisional rival, on the road, who made the playoffs last year. Good barometer for our team.

Yup, that was about as dominant as it gets.
