Go ahead and walk the walk and don't talk the talk. Me, I've been a player or coach since 1975 when I ⁴44 hhĥ. was 9. I know how hard it is to win. I'm not going anywhere. Salud!
I've coached as well and I know you can't be slightly to the right or slightly to the left when you aim for your goals. It takes a detrmined, disciplined approach and the right vision. If your players don't have the vision you have to provide it for them.
But these guys have turned the NFL into just an entertainment business. They don't really care about winning anymore. Putting on a show is all they care about- their brand.
Their brand is sickening.

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.
Well, if we make the playoffs, we would have to play much better to advance.

Fully expected to lose this game. Pittsburgh is not the best team, but Dallas is reeling.

That's a quality win on the road, especially with the late game heroics.

Not a lot puts a smile on my face with this team, but seeing Tolbert grit it out on that 4th down and be the hero-- how can you not enjoy that?

If you coached you know that no amount of griping will change anything, unless you have dirt on the school board! Lol

If we could play the Giants and Steelers every week, we’d be good. Unfortunately a real NFL roster is coming to town on Sunday.
Chronic----- yes sir the Lions are for real....i think we can beat them....dont ask me how.....i just think games 2 and 3 we were just so messed up mentally and got clobbered....and i know we have players injured that we need....but maybe one of them can play by October 13?......or maybe our offense can carry the day?.....i dont know but i feel hopeful....how do you feel about game against Lions?

That's completely true......it's great to enjoy in the moment but there's no way I will reader any further into it.

This is still the same team that gave up 275 rushing yards to the Ravens
shabazz---i wont disagree games 2 and 3 we got clobbered.....but i dont think we are same team that played games 2 and 3....is it not true we dont really play our first teamers much

during preseason....so first 4 games or so it more like preseason catch up.....but i wish we did not lose people to injury....that did not help....but i think we got a shot against Lions on

October 13th....i feel hopeful

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.
Im enjoying the win. If you let someone ruin it for you, then thats on you.

Winning a game on the road against a 3-1 team that you’re an underdog against is not an ugly win. Barely getting by a bad team is an ugly win. The fact that we beat a quality team despite all the players we had out and committing three turnovers is pretty impressive. Two of our turnovers occurred in the redzone. We even had a field goal blocked and overcame all of it.

I think 75% chance we lose…probably get embarrassed in the 1st half and come back in the 2nd like the Ravens game.
