The vibe here feels like we lost the game

Because that's all you can hope for with a backup qb who had minimal game experience prior to this year.
With dak, you are banking on him playing at a high level in order to get this team to a superb owl.

The defense gave up 6 points. The lions have the 32nd ranked defense in football. Yet the game was a toss-up mid way thru the 4th quarter.

A win is a win. But it's easy to see this offense still has major issues.

That being said, this team is somehow 5-2 after the nightmare start to the season. That has to count for something. This team has been finding ways to win.
Did you watch the game? Detroit played inspired defense. And it should always be about the win, not some hate agenda.

The 18 point win is why we get to say, “That was just Dak shaking off the rust. Next week, he’ll be in a $140 million form.” If the Cowboys had lost, we’d be more focused on the four consecutive home games in which Dak has managed only one first half score, three of which were field goals. I’m beyond elated I don’t have to focus on that.

People are frustrated that the team was only up 10-4 in the 4the quarter against the WORST defense in the league. We were hoping to see a real blowout….not one where the defense had to get 5 turnovers and the offense didn’t get the last 2 short gimme TDs till the last minutes…..it won’t work against the REAL teams.

we remember how this juggernaut team was brought to its knees by a wildcard team last season.
Are you crying?

We continue to win with defense and our offense remains unimpressive. Had it not been for Detroit’s four turnovers the game probably turns out differently. Despite the score the game was a struggle for most of it against a bad team.

Because we all know you cannot beat the good teams playing like we play. Not consistent. Moments of greatness mixed with game losing mistakes.
True. They haven't beaten any good teams. Except for the 6-1 Giants. Oh, and both teams that played in the SB last year. Today it was just the lowly Lions, who have scored 27+ in every game this season. How many did they score today?

Yeah it's as if we were expecting a 54-0 blowout and were dissapointed the game wasn't in the bag until later in the 4th quarter.

It wasn't a good offensive performance so I get some of the concerns, but a win is a win.

I was looking ahead to the playoffs, Today's performance won't last long against playoff caliber teams.

We beat a 1-4 Detroit team lol.
How did people expect us to play when the QB has taken a handful of game snaps since last season?
The offense got rolling late in the game and did what they had to do
1-4 doesn’t tell the whole story of the lions either

cuz people want to see the cowboys win a super bowl and they have to improve a lot to do that lol

every player and coach and scout would say he same thing
Even if the Cowboys win a SB, these same group of fans will still be miserable and complain. It has nothing to do with wins and losses, but with the QB.

I hate not being able to come here and enjoy a win with fellow Cowboys fans! I wish the administrator and moderators would do something about it. Perhaps create a separate foru

Dudes are elated like we just won the SB but it was a game we were supposed to win


-The defense was getting bullied on the ground once again after getting bullied on Sunday Night

-KM went brain-dead once again w his play-calling

-The QB play looked no better than it has been all season. And its not rust. Holding the ball too long and inaccurate passes are embedded in Dak’s DNA


Our season is going to come down to if the defense is good enough to carry us, and right now it doesnt look like it

That's because it was the sorry Lions who stuck with the Cowboys until the Cowboys' defense took over with all of those sacks and turnovers, the Cowboys' offence stunk today and so did Kellen Moore who is as inconsistent as they come as an OC
