The vibe here feels like we lost the game

[leeblair]

It’s all about the wins. Detroit didn’t play like a 32 ranked defense.

Or maybe Detroit's defense looked much better than they really are when they faced the Cowboys offense.

It’s all about the wins. Detroit didn’t play like a 32 ranked defense.

And it's great that the Cowboys won. They were expected to.
But they didn't win on offense. After three quarters the Cowboys only had ten points.
Then the Lions self destructed. The rest of the Cowboys points came after that.
So obviously there is a problem with the Cowboys offense, even though they won.

Another one unhappy with the win. Good, enjoy your misery.

You’re an odd suck. Super happy we won and covered but it’s not great to see Dak back to his old bs tricks and pathetic qb play. Can’t wait to hear his witty post game comments, though.

They scored 24 points and shy have been 31 except for the Brown fumble. But you enjoy being upset. It’s cute.

The defense was not good in that game

Hence their reaction after the game. They got bullied when it mattered.

Still need to work on the run defense.

 

[Gangsta Spanksta]

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

It seems for some people winning a game against a bad team during the regular season is all there is to life. Who expected the cowboys to get better from last year? Right now it looks like the team has regressed.

You’re dying all alone on the stupid island. You’re allowed to be a fan of the team and also say that our clown qb sucks.

Sure you are and we’re allowed to tell you how wrong you are to be sad the Cowboys won because Dak was solid.

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

I get frustrated with this forum, because it has the most debbie downers of any Cowboys forum I know. Some here should be SF Whiner fans.

agreed, lot of good infor but damn, it way too negative

Could be but Romo said the same about their defense.

Everyone is hung up on the way we win. Each game is different and a win is a win. We've shown the we can win in different ways. Today it was ugly but we got it like we did with rush. Let's get the next one. Who really cares how it looks?

Missing easy throws, still bounces in the pocket like a 3a hs qb and can’t read a defense to save his life. Dumps down to dalton every other play and takes changes throwing into double coverage with a weak arm.

I need to drastically adjust my expectations of him because for some reason, I think he’s ever going to get better. A lot of cowboy nation needs to just accept he’s mediocre and won’t take any team he leads to the promised land.

 

[Reid1boys]

so? What did u expect?

I expected us to have more than 10 pts with 4 minutes to go in the 4th quarter against one of the worst defenses in the NFL.

 

[Screw The Hall]

Of course people want to see the Cowboys win a Super Bowl. But if you can't even enjoy the wins for one day you're probably going to feel frustrated a lot.

Obviously, there are areas in need of improvement. But I'm not going to change that by feeling grumpy after a win. Get back to work and bring on the Bears.

This … a thousand times this.

I grow so weary of the “never enjoy anything because it’s only temporary” crew. I say this knowing that everything will probably turn out as it always has these last 2.5 decades. Yet, I will have enjoyed another season before I’m disappointed,

I wonder if they will ever understand that happiness is not a destination?

You’re entitled to your opinion.

 

[ChronicCowboy]

Detroit played maybe the worst 2nd half I’ve ever seen. Bama would have beat them by 20.

Of course they were pissed. They didn't play a perfect game and lost. But they gave up 265 yards and under 3.5 a clip on the ground to a team top-three in running and total offense. That is great defense will win A LOT of NFL games. If the offense doesn't turn the ball over three times and give Philly the ball inside it's own 45 three times in the first half, the single possession you're basing your whole argument on matters a whole lot less and Dallas is flying out of Philly with a win. How you and others can bash the defense for that loss while totally ignoring three turnovers (two in Dallas territory) and a loss on downs at the Dallas 34 is beyond me. The Cowboys ran the ball a hell of a lot better than Philly did but was down 17 points at the half because of turnovers and an otherwise inept passing game.

You'll win a ton of games in the NFL playing defense like Dallas did last week but you're not gonna win many if you turn the ball over three (four) times, no matter what you do.

When I do play-by-play, I literally can't read anything anyone else is saying. I don't come up before the game or after the game, that's how bad it's become around here.

 

[Whiskey Cowboy]

Hard to overcome 3 QB interceptions.

And minimal offensive production to keep them fresh.

 

[DandyDon52]

People wanted to see a marked improvement in the offensive production. Didn't really get it.

exactly ! we wanted to see that "pop on his balls !" didnt really see that lol.

But sure just like with rush, defense saved dak today.

how many think rush could have won this game today?

But dont worry, cowboys should make the playoffs, partly depends on what giants and phil do rest of season, and maybe the games between
dallas and those 2 teams, and they have to play each other.

If season were over right now both dallas and giants would be in as WC's , dallas would be the last seed, so they just have to hold
that spot or take div lead.
But no telling how it all works out.

Dallas can ill afford losses if the other two keep winning.

In other news the Jets are 5th seed in AFC !!!!!!!! Things have changed!
