This team is different

[Irvin88_4life]

But they couldn't beat a Denver roster that basically was like a preseason lineup on both lines of scrimmage.

They haven't beaten Denver since the 90s. Goes beyond that.

You can't name a single team this season that hasn't had a bad game. It's football and Dallas wasn't going to go 16-1.

1 bad game doesn't erase 7 good games.

If Dallas plays like this next week, then i will get on board with this nonsense over reacting

Day sucked today....Hes has been great this year but he was horrible

I do not dispute this at all, but the idio…err, fans, that say that Cooper Rush should play (read game thread) instead of Dak says all you need to know about the unhinged Dak hate that a lot of “fans” have.

Again, I maintain and will always maintain that the majority of the most ardent Dak haters loved Romo and thought he hung the moon.

What’s most alarming is we were pretty lucky against New England and Minnesota. Just be happy to be 6-2 as opposed to 4-4

So very true.

If you look close enough this team really is closer to .500

The NFL margin within games can be razor thin.

Sans this contest today.

First game. Brady always plays better as the season goes on and until the playoffs We had a healthy Tyron, which we won't for the rest of the year. We're a different team with him.

no question Dak had people near him all game. Honestly, I was very surprised. Our oline had been playing great. I didnt expect that today.

 

[Reid1boys]

Get all your gloating posts out the way now grfdys I have a feeling this won’t age very well.

by the way... there is no gloating. Im just trying to tell you reality. This team is very good. The teams I mentioned before were alsos very good and lost in nail biters in the playoffs. This team could do the exact same, or this team could go further. But to say thi steam is clearly so much better just shows IGNORANCE... yes, IGNORANCE!

And because Romo never got the SB they believe he would have gotten in 2016 if he was allowed to play for the remainder of that season, they'll forever have an agenda of wanting Dak to fail and enjoying it when he loses or has a bad game.

 

[Reid1boys]

Nope, same old cowboys. This is what they do they play well enough for people to start making posts like this then play a game like this

Posts like this? Was the original post in this thread saying .. what? It was saying to hold your horses. Weve been here before with very good teams.

yes... and ITS OK. Dak was not good today, and yes he has been fantastic. Dont sweat 1 game. Sh.. happens in the nfl. Please see Bills vs Jags today for proof.

 

[Reid1boys]

1 loss and we are already calling this a Garrett Team ?

i dont know guys .

maybe you dont know what Ive been saying all along.


In 2007, 14 and 16 we were damn good and could have been in the SB. One bad play cost us the game and we were eliminated. Im saying this team is in that same league... as are the Rams, Cards and pack. Its football and anything can happen. BUT, so many in here, because of their hate for JG were trying to anoint this coaching staff and team as being clearly better.... nah, it isnt.

I actually said it might be time for cooper, and if you are dumb enough to not see the sarcasm in my post... well, I dont know what to tell you.

You are living in reality yet you don’t see how this team is much better?

no it isnt... go back to 2014. We were 12-4 and we could have easily been 8-8. This is true of all teams that go 12-4. So many games are one that you could have just as easily lost. The difference between a win and loss in this league is RAZOR thin. Recognize it, or continue to hide your head in the sand.

 

[Reid1boys]

no.. I see it. Our defense is better, big time, no matter what we did today. We are about to get Tank back, and our pass rush will be seriously legit. Our depth is clearly better. Im ecstatic about this team. But how much better is this team? We were 12-4 in 2014 and as good as any team in the NFC. If this team were CLEARLY better, wed go 15-2 this year. That isnt happening.

no, no , no. Im a huge romo fan. But I am a Dallas Cowboy fan... PERIOD. Romo's time is over. Im all in on Dak. He has been phenomenal, and today he was not good. But as T.O. once said... thats my quarterback. I will NEVER, EVER root for Dak's failure in any way. But I also will speak truth. Today, Dak wasnt good. But thats ok, the entire team wasnt good.


Im thrilled we have dak... period.
Now lets put this behind us and move forward.

Media and fans, including me, over react when Dallas is playing well....they are world beaters and bring on the best. They also over react when they lose....they are putrid, over rated and "same ole cowboys". It is this way because they are the Dallas Cowboys. No one said the Rams, Packers and Bucs were over rated after they got their gluteus maximus kicked. They in fact are still considered favorites in the NFC. This embarrassing and humiliating loss does not change my mind that the Cowboys will not be there in contention. They better not just forget this loss and go on to the next game, they need to learn from this. You learn your lessons from butt whippings like this.

lesson? what lesson? It wasnt scheme.. the Broncos just lined up and beat us. Not sure what lesson there is. Its not like you can look at tape and "Learn," anything. They just kicked our butts.

All records aren't the same though. If you go let's say 11-6 but you show you can go on the road and beat winning teams on the road like the Chargers? AS opposed to going 13-3 and only beating the bad teams? You can't gauge the success of seasons based on records.

huh????? In 2014 we went into Seattle and their Vaunted 12th man BS. They were on a 20 or 30 some game winning streak and we stopped that streak beating them. So you saying our 2014 team wa s ajoke?

We were extremely lucky against the Chargers. The officials practically handed us that game.

Blocking a punt on 4th down and the other team ending up with the ball and a first down is one of those "heads I win, tails you lose" things.
