That's why they can get away with what they do.
If the fans are happy they won't question anything. They just enjoy the circus.
Pretty soon you'll probably see masked players with special names like "The Undertaker".

So you're not happy we won? What kind of fan is that? I'd tell you, but I'd get benched.

Hey, I love the aesthetics. It will always look better to see the Cowboys beat the Stealers.
I just wish it was real.
Look at all of the games from this past week and see how many were won in the final minute.
There's no way a 32 team league with 32 different philosophies are that evenly matched. Just my opinion.
But I've been watching for fifty years. It's just not believable.

And the goal posts start moving. We win next week and yall will find another excuse to whine about.

That's hyperbole. If the Cowboys beat a very good Lions team, they will get credit

Lions have a top 3 offense and the Steelers have a bottom 10 offense.....you do recognize what strength of opponent means, right?

Pull your head out and look at the record. You said fans are part of the problem....at least you admit your part of that too.

We all fed the beast to some extent. Didn't mean to, but we were part of what allowed it to become a beast.
But we don't have to keep feeding it.

I live in the D.C. area, and to hear the W teams fans at work talking about a Super Bowl run is hilarious. What is even better is to see the look of disappointment on their faces when we win.

Agreed. Cowboys will crush those unproven Commanders.

As for the haters, they really need to go follow another team. One can't enjoy a win around here without them trying to doom-n-gloom it as usual.

I know people keep saying this and most fans say those things so I can't fault you for that but there's no ugly wins there's a single W or a single L and it is lovely to win any game and by the way beating New York last week supposed to be why because they suck at Seattle how they feel This is why it's a week to weekly and you never know last night so many people I bet 90% predicted a loss and 50% predicted a major loss like we were gonna be embarrassed and that Mike McCarthy was gonna lose his team and Mike McCarthy might lose his job at the bye week and that Mike Zimmer it's terrible and all these narratives and then what happened we win these two games in a row and this game the way it unfolded might launch us into at least getting back on track this year because this team believed in itself maximum effort I love the way they pulled together as a team I'm not gonna go back and pick any good parts or bad parts 'cause I don't wanna hear about it it was a big giant W..

i'll take 3-2 over 2-3 any day!! You know the Cowboys are never supposed to go on the road in weather the long rain delay I guess a tough team in a tough environment make a lot of mistakes have a lot of injuries a lot of things to overcome and win a game like this just appreciate it it's just a win but I think this could be a catapult for the rest of the season you know rallying cry it may not help us beat San Francisco or the lions I don't know but I can tell you right now they found out a lot about themselves and fans found out a lot about this team and that the depth was a lot better than people thought I mean all these players out the going down in the game reshuffling the offensive line it was very impressive that what they did last night they could have folded tents and got their coach fired but they did not..

Again the thing I love is the effort maximum effort that's what you look for... They could've easily laid down and they did not and that shows me a lot about this team everyone says the culture's bad and they're soft well last night that was one of the most gritty wins you can have it was against a winning team on the road in a hostile weather environment with every opportunity to lose and you didn't lose that's how you should look at this as a fan base I don't think all are flaws are cured by any means this is just a win but i love how they pull together..

Right, like I'm telling people you think the New York Giants was a ugly win I'm wondering how the Seattle Seahawks feel about that right now that the lowly New York Giants should have been a much cleaner loss right like was that a pretty loss was our win ugly the last two games I'll take them any day but I am not putting a descriptive term behind it it's a win or a loss but it's a week to week league and it will always be a week to week league we don't know what's happening against the lions...

Go ahead and walk the walk and don't talk the talk. Me, I've been a player or coach since 1975 when I was 9. I know how hard it is to win. I'm not going anywhere. Salud!

Miserable much? It's not fools gold. It's just a win by a team that probably a SB contender. It's your delusion if you expect the Cowboys to contend every season. Just be grateful if this young, injury depleted team got scrappy and took a win.

As I told my son last night - nothing better than beating Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh - no matter how you win - sending them home at 1am with a loss with 20 seconds to go - Cant beat that!

Choking? Does Jerry change his flavor of koolaid as you consistently gulp it down the last 28 years? Asking for a friend.

in the end winning is what matters
those boasting about moral victories can kiss my cojones

BUT winning ugly too often also means you are likely to lose ugly and maybe when it counts
