The only thing this win tells me is we will get smashed in two weeks by the Eagles

After we lose to the Jags and Titans yes they can......

What if the Cowboys win against the Jaguars? The Cowboys and Eagles play before the Cowboys play the Titans. The Eagles may still need the Cowboys game to clinch the number 1 seed.

I'm just so thankful the Texans, with a running QB, don't call back to back QB sneak from a few inches away.
Philly essentially has a 1.5 game lead against because we own the tie breaker. All we need for a bye seed is them to lose to either the Bears, Saints or Giants and beat them X Mas Eve. So happy their coach went brain dead

Nope, the Cowboys will play a lot better in that game. But they'll stink it up again next week against the Jags.

Quinn's challenge will be to train the DEs to never crash down to stop the run. Whoever is at DE HAS to stay home and just wait for the PA fake keeper with Hurtz and pound him in the backfield when he keeps it. Let the other lineman and LBs stop the inside run. This will be a real challenge with the Dee line rotation because a squad of DEs will have to be disciplined, EVERY DOWN. They couldn't even consistently stop Mills today because the DEs crashed too hard.

If the Cowboys makes sure to shut down the PA pass by having the unblocked DE just play Hurtz aggressively every down, the Cowboys have a good chance. Otherwise, they'll just run and throw all over the Cowboys' defense.

Basically, stop the run (Hurtz included) and run the ball, with the Cowboy's own liberal use of PA, early.

We also held Houston to 0 points in the fourth quarter!!

Their coaches held them to 0 points... and we eeked ahead by 4 points with 40 seconds left in game.

I was trying to understand his point of "what was eagles score against texans?", as if that was supposed to prove something. Eagles beat them handedly, and that was before they started tanking games.

Just trying to understand his statement

In a Week-to-Week league, it's hard to say any game says much about another.

Just pointing that out.
:thumbup:
Every game can take a life of it's own. Each game is different. Last weekend's 50 burger and this week has no bearing on the playoffs or even next week. Like you said, it's literally a week to week league. I think what tripped us up this week is the focus on the OBJ circus and looking ahead to the Eagles.

Prediction. If the Cowboys lose to the Eagles, there's going to be a lot of "I told you so." threads from those on this forum who has the Eagles being head and shoulders better than the Cowboys.

If the Cowboys win however there will be some claiming how the game doesn't matter for the Eagles since they already have a playoff spot or whatever clinched by then.

Can't help but think out loud, who's fault it that?

IMO the answer to that question will be the Boys downfall...

Reality is most everyone here was expecting a blowout. Thing is, most everyone here can't keep things in perspective per winning a game and losing a game...

I had to delete someone from my Friends list for saying this after the game

"HOW BOUT THEM COWBOYS""
I did the same thing to Jimmy Johnson, there's a time and place for that call out and it's not fitting when Prescot is pulling out last second wins over DOUBLE DIGIT DOGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are not at the Eagles level. Nuf said.
It’s that easy. Currently both the eags and 9ers have better organizations than the DC across the board. That’s from the very top of the organization down to the water boys. Purdy at SF looks like an all pro in their offense.

Exactly. If the Cowboys team that showed up against the Vikings shows up we will destroy the Eagles. It's a week to week league and I will take a win all day long over a loss. We are 10-3 right now and some people are acting like we suck.
I'm happy cause I don't care about stats or looking pretty. This isn't a beauty pageant, it's football where it's all about winning games.

I can't complain at 10-3, get healthy and stack another win next week.

I don't care if it's 2-0 or 200-199. A win is a win

I’ve been a cowboys fan for 45 years and have seen enough of Dak that he will 100% not win a SB…he just isn’t good enough and you can’t put enough pieces around him to win it…

We need to trade the house for Mahomes!

You have me until that last sentence. Cocaine is a hell of a drug.
