The Double Standard

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

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

This, I was expecting another Colts drubbing especially with people talking about 28 point win.

There are comeback games against great or good teams. And then there is having to come back against a 1-10-1 team who outplayed you for most of the game, in a game you were expected to blow them out in. There is also the cowboys past history of being inconsistent and that you want a team to go into the playoffs on a hot streak. Captain Comeback isn't known by that name for coming back against very bad teams in which he was the reason the team almost lost to begin with. There is more cause for concern for people who want this team to do well in the playoffs than there is reason to celebrate here.

To help grow. The Cowboys have to win games like these

I wonder how much of this nail biter of game falls at Turpin's muffed punt?

How far we stretch to cover for this clown is amazing.
Every week it's a fresh take.
15 tds vs 9 ints is sub NFL play.
If you feel the need to crow about someone try Pollard, you know, the only reason we won this game

Was it Pollard who scored game winning TD?

If you need to credit 1 player, then credit Peters replacing Ball.

And entire defense stopping Texans on goal line 4 straight downs.

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’ve never said dak can’t come me from behind, but you just can’t count on him. His screw ups will constantly put him in situations where he has to come from behind.
The entire package is very average. Sorry I want to see another cowboy Super Bowl in my lifetime, and we seem to have treaded water for decades.

The Cowboys very first Super Bowl was in 1970. During that regular season they lost to the Vikings 54-13. Four weeks later they lost to the Cardinals 38-0.

Their very first championship year was !971. They lost to the Saints who wouldn't have their first winning season until 16 years later. Their quarterback was a rookie, Archie Manning.

I could go on and describe embarrassing losses in every successful Cowboys season.

Double standards only happen when you’re trying to make yourself feel better. Example being comparing our Colts and Texans games to the Eagles Colts and Texans games. We got smashed in the mouth today but “so did Philly”, even though they didn’t. It’s just a nervous tic we’ve developed as a championship starved fan base.

I clearly outlined the double standard in my original post. Fans here that despise Dak state he is a spare and makes too many mistakes. They also say he does not have the capacity to orchestrate a winning drive of note. I pointed out that in the history of this franchise, even the greatest of all time have had games such as the one we saw today. This is not comparing skill sets, but outlining the capricious nature of this game. Nothing is set in stone.

Ergo:

1. Dak is a piece of crap and cannot lead this team to success. He is destined to fold in times of crisis.
2. Dak never comes from behind to win games.

Yet you saw a 98 yard drive when the chips were all in to win it or go home a loser. The defense that had been thwarting the Cowboys all day was still on the field and playing hard.

But Dak carved up that defense. His passes were surgical in nature. There should be no question in anyone's minds that Dak lead the team to victory with his arm.

The double standard is simple. He can't, he won't, he ain't all that, because he doesn't have the talent.

Yet he did, and in the game thread, and after game thread, those who spend their time rooting for failure so they can come here and gloat at how they have been right, were wrong today.

Your comment about a double standard in reply to me was as germane as comparing an M.I.T valedictorian and Kim Kardashian.

Could you punish the OP for even putting the names Staubach and Dak in the same sentence?

Well, there's your basic problem. Farmer's Branch isn't Carrollton.
