The Double Standard

[kskboys]

It shouldn't have. We should've been running the ball the first half when we were avg 7 ypc. That was a terrible game plan from go.

Shockingly bad.

What part of in December did you miss

What does December have to do with it? Eagles played the Colts on November 20th. What a huge difference, lol

 

[conner01]

Staubach had 23 come from behind wins in his career. Of those, 17 were in the last two minutes.

This is not comparing Staubach and Dak, but to point out even the ones we admire play games like the one today.

But where the double standard comes in is the people whining today are the same ones who say Dak can't come from behind and put together the winning drive.

You just saw it. They all played flat. Read the headlines. Saw the Vegas line and thought this was in the bag. Mistakes all over the field.

But they got the ball back and drove 98 yards to win the game. It took a defensive stand, and an offensive drive to beat this team.

I have seen every season where Dallas ended up in the Super Bowl The only one I did not see, I was cooling my heels in Vietnam. Every season where they played in the NFC Championship game had games like this.

Is it too much to have a little perspective? Evidently for some it is.

I’m convinced if the internet and these boards were around then people would have bashed Roger too
Unless we shut out every team and put up 50 some people are gonna complain
We stopped them when we had to and drive down and scored 7 when we had to

Watch Football for a few more years and then maybe you'll understand what momentum and peaking down the stretch in December means to a team heading into the playoffs...

So we got cocky and thought we could show up?
That's not good look for the players or coaches.

I’ve watched and played long enough not to need advice from you. The Cowboys are on a 4 game winning streak which includes 2 blow out games and a big win against a divisional rival on Thanksgiving. How’s that for peaking? You want to get upset because they struggled, mostly due to their own mistakes, with a team that gave the Super Bowl favorites trouble? I am excited to see how they respond and play against Jacksonville and the Eagles.

Prospective is recognizing the quality of the team they barely beat. If it was a 500 or better team it would have been more palatable. Prospective

Hey chief, I think you meant PERSPECTIVE.

Perspective.

It's not just whether Dak can sometimes produce a game winning drive, but how often can he do it in those situation's.

Game winning drives.

difference is the lions are significantly improving, and both games you listed were divisional. We played against the lowly “tanking” 1-10 Texans who lost their best player in the 2nd half. There is NO excuse for how Dallas played today. I don’t care if they came back and won or not. That was more pathetic than our loss against GB.

So, in your estimation, a loss is better than a win? How is the education system in your area?

 

[Rockport]

Better get it corrected now or we will be sitting on the couch again come the divisional round.

You’re not paying attention.

I remember several ugly wins during the Aikman years.

 

[Starforever]

one of the reasons that we are getting strange takes on the game is because several of our fellow posters are desperately trying to defend Daks performance. They literally have to watch a game and must dread having to prop up their personal hero and make excuses. Ergo this thread and several others

the fact of the matter is that MANY on the team poorly. Many of us who are unbiased get to watch a game and evaluate the players on how they actually played….not on how we desperately wish they would have played and feel no impulse to prop up anybody

this team played like crap today and anybody who says different is full of it.​

I believe many of you are missing the point. No one stated that he played great, but the last drive cannot be disputed. I for one don't care for his play, but I will acknowledge when he and others do well.

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

Don’t think the problem is coming from behind to win but who it came against, should have never gotten to that point.

A guy cannot stink for 57 minutes and then shine for 3 and expect congratulations; he should be ashamed of himself

 

[Starforever]

Who is lesser than a 1-10-1 team? Who? No one that’s who. Dak sucked against the worst team in the nfl and you say the eagle almost lost 3 or 4 games.lol. Not bc of of hurts throwing interception and fumbling on a short field that’s for sure. You go take you comments to the insane asylum, maybe they’ll listen to your blastfamy.

You are aware that Dallas won the game, right?

Not only Roger, they would have bashed Aikman too. They would have pointed to his average stats, the fact he had Emmitt to hand off to and the best line in NFL history protecting him etc. etc.

There is no excuse for looking this bad against arguably the worst team in the league

You and others boast about Brady all the time. Hypocrisy at its best.

I'm sure Dak isn't happy with his play today even though his arm was hit on his second int. and the receivers dropped five passes today, but he does deserve credit for leading a 98 yard drive with the game on the line.

I'm not delusional and I know this was a bad game overall by Dak, but in the end he found his rhythm and got the win. That's really all that matters.
