This was a cleansing game with an upside

Mum was inconsolable.

I was numb from our offensive ineptness. And shaking me handsome oval head at a defense that is on par with the worst in our last 10 years.

But, mate, as the sun never sets on the British empire, neither does it set on Cowboy world. We soldier on (with apologies to our true soldiers who can't beat the insurgents).
We have to come to grips with a coaching staff who took the day off.
We have to grapple with a QB, who in the real world, would be a bench warmer in most NFL cities.
We need a team that believes in itself and does not believe it is Super Bowl material.
We need coordinators who DEMAND 110% AFTER EACH PLAY!
A HC who scowls on the sidelines like Jimmy Johnson on a bar day!
We need to SIT Dak and give him the message that come contract time, Jerry can pay him commensurate with a medium-talent QB, not a Mayfield or Mahomes!

Lastly, fans, we find ourselves caught in a web of darned if we do, darned if we dont.
We were on a winning streak after the half. Now we find ourselves in danger of picking late 20s in the second round.
Can we find a QB in thenext draft there?
No.
So dont pay Dak what his agent wants. Pay Dak what he deserves, second-tier monies.
And pray we can, in 2020, get a true QB talent.

The upside is the Cowboys getting a jolt of realism.

Dak long term?
Dont make me become a (UGH!) Texan fan.

Second tier money is 20 mil
The offense moved the ball well early but got no points
We can not execute in the red zone
It’s been an issue all season
We get drops, over throws, sacks, penalties
Fix that and we win
We won’t be picking in the late 20’s
The raiders will be

Exactly. Our offense isn't as miserable as the doubters like to claim. HOWEVER, our REDZONE offense is TERRIBLE.

Let me fix that PICKING IN THE LATE 20S IN THE SECOND ROUND.
I once had hopes of giving the Raiders the worst possible pick. Then the best possible pick. The yin and yang.

Cleansing like an enima?
