The Cowboys had no business winning that game

I love how people make up fake scenarios in their head....to make themselves look like better fans.

Why people think it's ONLY Cowboys fans that complain about their team is nuts.
All fans complain... all fans complain about ridiculous stuff. Salary cap football is what we see each week. Know it. Understand it. Embrace it. Tom Landry aint coming through that door anytime soon. Tex was a genius for doing analytics before it had a name. well guess what.... everyone does it now.

Apparently, so do mediocre teams.
yes they do... because the majority of teams in this league are mediocre... or what I would call AVG. 15 teams currently have a winning record. 4 teams are better than 3-2. Yep... salary cap era. The statistical bell shaped curve is alive and well.

I understand your point, but how many games like that one are there? There's no reason an average team would have to win games in an unlikely comeback manner such as this. I'd venture that most games are virtually over halfway through the fourth quarter.

Like I said, it was an ugly win made into a good game by last minute heroics. In the short sighted perspective, it is a feel good moment. But when you looking at it through a long sighted perspective, can we hang with the better teams in the NFL? Another team would've ate our lunch yesterday with those costly mistakes. We have to play SF still, is that going to be an ugly game for us? Can we even hang with the Commodes this season?
So the 2-3 niners are a power? Funny how we view teams vs how we view our team.

I can understand people being fans of their local teams. Wouldn't of minded if he wore the gear of some west coast team. But Snoop being a Stealers fan just makes no sense, seems like he would be some other team fan given the week.
Snoop changes teams as often as I change underwear. He does what it takes to get himself on TV.

Yep...it's human nature through the ages. And forever.

That's why I didn't get the indication that only Cowboys lunatically complain. I must have read it wrong.

He is fake and jumps teams like a true bandwaggoner
That does make him appear 100% fake but not sure I would call him a bandwagoner. To me, a bandwagoner claims being a fan because they feel like a fan of that team at that particular moment in their life.

Snoop seems to be shedding team colors like a snake. He is a genuine marketer of his brand and an excellent one at that. I think it may be more that he is an opportunist than someone who really roots for their 'team of the moment'..

..if anything can build confidence for them, its this game. They practically gave it away. Still found way to win it.

...but the did.

Both starting DEs out, Lose another put in as a starter in the game.
LT gets injured so he is goes out.
Cooks is out
Zeke was out..I know he played but might as well have been out
Bland and Carson


However the running game, Dowdle, showed up and it wasn't just WRs running the ball

Turpin and Tolbert showed up.

Ferguson back to making plays.

I know some will hate it but...minus the stupid penalty challenge, the HC and DC did a good job considering all the injuries.
You could easily argue this game never should have been that close.

There was no reason the Seahawks should have lost to the Giants at home.

Yes, agreed. I would word it - THE COWBOYS HAD NO BUSINESS ALMOST LOSING THAT GAME, instead. If not for Dak's two picks and his fumble - costing the Cowboys 9 points (3 FGs) minimum, the 4th quarter would not and should not have been like that. That was crazy, like they were trying to give the game away first - then decided to win in the end

It is indeed a team game but individual players have to do stuff. Or fail at doing stuff.

surely we have the fortitude to access it. If you have fortitude and not some lazy BS agenda.

We have a lot of that here. Human nature knows it is so. Too bad the humans doing can't see it.

We’re probably better with the starting LT out.
At this point, I'd not disagree too much.

But how is he supposed to learn how to handle NFL defenses by sitting on the bench?

He won't. We got spoiled with Martin making All Pro his first year. That is rare. But remember Tyron Smith struggled some as well.

You have to play Guyton if you expect him to become a top LT, it's not like he never has good plays, give the kid some time.

Same goes for Beebe...
