We didn't beat the Chiefs; we beat the Dallas Texans

[AMERICAS_FAN]

It's ironic to me how everyone is referring to this victory as a win over the Chiefs, given that their uniforms were all about the "Dallas Texans".

Yes it is throwback week, and that is where the Chiefs have their origin; but can you imagine the scrutiny the Cowboys would get had they lost? You know darn well the headlines would have read something like “The Dallas Texans defeat the Dallas Cowboys" or "The Dallas Texans are America's Team," or "How 'Bout Them Texans!". But since we won, well, we just beat the Chiefs during throwback week.

Oh well, at least we won. Now we can at least enjoy some watered down scrutiny through the bye. Congratulations Dallas Cowboys for beating the Dallas Texans -- err, I mean, the Chiefs. Sorry.

People can say "it was just the Cheifs" all they want, but a W is a W in this league.

Enjoy the win because we might get blown out by Atlanta in 2 weeks.

Yep. Cherish each and every win, no matter how they come, my friends. And just hope that by season's end we have enough of them to matter and that the style points (meaning consistent, smart play) steadily add up as the season progresses.

I really think all this team needs is some confidence. And also, it needs better coordination on both sides of the ball, especially on offense. Defense is mostly fine, althuogh we need to "fix' the S position and get rid of that prevent-defense nonsense.

I think the Chiefs are now 2-28 in their last 30 games.

They're an awful team. Losing would've been crippling no matter what uniform they were wearing.

I can't imagine how miserable the next two weeks would have been had we lost in OT.

All winning does is get the media off the team's back a little, at least until after the next game if they lose that. But hey, a media-holiday is good for this team right now because KC is a horrible team and Dallas nearly lost to them. There are clearly many thins to work on. But this team also needs to build its confidence; and this win - along with the media off ther backs - will help foster that.
