This Team has a Killer Instinct finally

[Kaiser]

I really think this team has developed a killer instinct for the first time since the Super Bowl years. You saw it today, Crawford set the tone with a big play from the DL (when is the last time that happened?) and after the fake punt, Dallas immediately went for the kill by throwing to Dez in the end zone. And making it. Then another stop and the Beasley TD was this team putting their foot on the necks of the opposition.

You have seen it this season, when they faced their biggest challenge in Seattle they beat them badly. When they had a bad game against Philly and had to come back with a win – they did. When they started out poorly against the Giants and had to make up a ton of points in the second half – they did.

Its what good teams do. They put away the other team when they need to. And this team has. And then if you add a pass rush in the offseason and this team will be an entirely new level on top of that.

I had an awesome feeling about this game the minute Philly choked last night. I almost knew the Cowboys would come out with a purpose and FINISH THE FIGHT!!!

I'm glad they didn't stop playing after being up 28. I thought they were going to go back into conservative mode and let the Colts get back in it, but they kept their foot on the gas. That's what I want to see from the cowboys!

Indy was sleep walking today. They weren't hungry. They just wanted to get out without any injuries.

They came to play or they wouldn't have been running a fake punt in the 1st Quarter. Even after that I don't think they had the wind knocked out of them until the following play when Dez caught a TD on the very next play. Indy was down 14 in a blink at that point and knew it was going to be a very, very long day.

Then why was their coach almost in tears (not literally) and guys were on the sideline uttering words like "embarrassed"?

What? I would agree they had some bad breaks but they wanted to win. There were some upset faces on that sideline.

I've been saying that I don't think we've seen the best from this team yet this season.

Give me a ******* break... Sleep walking my ***....
Seriously .. This is such a ludicrous statement .. If they wanted to get out without any injuries they would have sat Luck, Reggie Wayne , Davis among many others ...
The colts came to play ... Period.. Problem is Dallas played harder and better

The only thing that bothered me about the game was right after the interception to start the 2nd half. They were pretty conservative on that series, and they ended up getting nothing.

They learned how to win and how to fight through adversity. When things don't go there way, they don't panic, play their game. And now today, as said, shown they have that "kill shot" mentality.

This is then signs of a winning team, on their way to learning to be a championship team.

Jason Garrett had his game face on even with a four touchdown lead. He was as serious as a heart attack, and his players gave him everything they had. I really like our chances in the playoffs.

Yeah, that's why they played their starters the majority of the game

If you watched the game you could see how hard they were playing, how frustrated they were getting. The effort didn't match the results.

If we only know one thing, it's that we can give up a ton of unanswered points. We cannot afford to let off the gas. Ever!

I think that helped show everyone that they couldn't do that for the whole second half. That might have been a good wake up call for the offense to keep the pressure on.
