This is our loss

[Fizziksman]

That's one game.

Are you really going to sit there and say that their offense can't get hot and easily put up points?

they have like three games this season where they didn't score a touchdown...

We average over 28 a game man. Go cry to someone who cares, you're embarrassing.

Cowboys are the best team ever.

Forget about our defensive issues, we're going to beat every team we play.

Seattle could easily hang 30 on this defense.

Yes, and they also have the talent and ability to break out at any game.

Russ has been hurt for a decent portion of the season.

Now you're seeing it, I know your Romo love is blocking you from enjoying things. I guess you miss those 10 years 2 playoff victories?

No this is in regards to our defense. Not offense. And why just because I'm concerned with our defense over the last few weeks does that mean I'm not enjoying this year???

This is hands down the most fun I've had since 2007. And I was worried towards the end of that year that our offense was sputtering, and it ended up biting us.

I never got stressed. I did think we would lose this game just because it didn't feel right but it wasn't a big deal even if we lost.

I got stressed because I hate losing in general. But I know what your saying. I don't think we'll win out so the one game that we can not lose is the Giants game. The rest of the games, including this one, would have been okay to lose but not greatest feeling. I was stressed thinking if we lose and the Giants beat Pittsburgh, I was not in the mood to go into New York and play the Giants for the division. I think it would be good to see how the young cats do under pressure, so maybe it would have been a good "test" for them. But I did not want any loss of momentum and if for some reason we lose to the Giants then we still have a game or two cushion. I really want the Giants to lose this Sunday. I think we can beat the Giants and I think we will beat the Giants but there were 2 scenarios I did not want to have happen. One is playing for the division lead in New York and the 2nd scenario was going into Philly in the last game and playing for a playoff spot. #2 scenario appears to be shrinking by the day, lol, and I'm kind of relieved that #1 won't happen either. Let's just keep winning and keep the momentum up the more meaningless these division games are the better cuz crazy things can happen in division games.

And I had a bad day at work and was hoping the victory would cheer me up, and it did, but boy was I crabby during the game. Now I'm giddy.

Love dem Boyz, it gets more fun each week, each week the naysayers shut their mouths.

Seattle's offense isn't what it used to be. Their OL sucks and they can't run the ball. Beastmode was such a big part of their offense and now they don't have anyone that can replace his production. All they have is Grahm and Baldwin. Obviously Wilson is the X-factor but as TB has shown, he can be contained. It isn't anything near what it used to be in the past with Beastmode.

Guys complaining about a loss is sort of sad, especially when we're 11-1. It gets on my nerves. People don't take these things into account.

He's a rookie. A freaking rookie.
They played a top defense.
They had 10 freaking penalties.

A bad game by a QB would be something like this. 12-30 - 140 yds, 2 INTs, 1 fumble - 0 TDs.
I guess we're spoiled though.

 

[windjc]

Solid points in regards to penalties. But those often happen because players are beat and out of position, which was the case tonight. But I agree, I don't see that happening too often.

Escobar is awful. We really miss Swaim. One of our strengths is no longer a strength. It's not a weakness, but it sure as hell isn't a strength anymore.

Quit being so melodramatic and negative. 11-1.

This season has been awesome, so much fun being 11-1 instead of 1-11. Dude I thought going into the season we'd hopefully win 10 games and go into the playoffs as a WC. We'll I was right about winning 10 games, just didn't think we would have 11 victories with 4 games left to play. Didn't see that coming.

You're missing my point entirely. I'm not saying Dak had an awful game. I'm saying that when we potentially play Seattle in the playoffs with an elite defense, but a better offense, that we will have to play much better than we did tonight against a good defense, but awful offense.

It just bothers me that with our defense, our offense has zero margin for error.

Every game is different. Do you expect us to have 10 bad penalties to the seahawks? Do you expect us to have needless fumbles with them? I don't know, this is why different teams different results. The Seahawks scored a measley 5 points the other day. Do you think that's how they play all the time.

This was a tough game for us on Thursday night with a hostile crowd, first time for Dak. I thought he did a heck of a job considering everything that happened.

We will be playing them in Dallas most likely. You sure like to look for ways to lose and denigrate players.

Who cares? Why so negative? 11-1.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

I think it was much better than Escobar.

Based on what? The single play where the defender slanted hard inside? If that is the case then you need to be all over Witten cause he is good for one of those each and every game.

Try looking and discussing actually what happens and go less by emotion. You will end up being wrong a lot less often.

 

[ksadler1]

Exactly, penalties is what made this game so ugly for us.

Not just penalties. We were 1-9 on 3rd down conversions and the Vikes controlled the clock. This was a "thank your lucky stars" win. The Boyz did everything they could do to give this game away. This was a head scratcher win for sure.....

 

[Blackspider214]

NYG have a defense that has a similar makeup to Minn. They spent big and it's paid off.

We play like that against NY, and it's a loss. Hopefully Pitt can take care of them at Heinz Field.

The Giants defense is not as good as Minnesota's. Similar makeup does not equal as talented. But of course their offense is 10x more explosive.

But, a potential bonus would be playing Seattle at home. A potential HUGE bonus. Just like Minnesota tonight, Seattle is infinitely more difficult to beat in their building.

One final thing: if we're fortunate enough to make the NFC Championship Game, you're darn right it's going to be difficult. It's not supposed to be easy, even more so if we face a team like Seattle with a championship pedigree.
