We escaped 0-2, barely

[Diehardblues]

Greg Zuerlin’s 56 yard field goal as time expired stamped out the forbidden start to the season we had feared. It also stamped out the horrid game clock Mgmt in final sequence in drive as Prescott led a 49 yard to set up the kick.

Chargers gifted us a turnover on horrid pass in the end zone and penalties thwarted scoring opportunities on 2 TD’s called back providing an opportunity for final winning drive .

Throughout a season you need games you probably shouldn’t have won. But we did just enough and took advantage . But the final kick bailed out an otherwise game heading to a loss.

We’ll take it. Avoiding 0-2 is huge. We hadn’t started 0-2 since 2010. Now we come home to 3 straight under our own roof and will be favored in all with only one( Panthers) with a winning record.

An 0-2 record would have presented many challenging issues and concerns moving forward. Now we can be more optimistic looking to be 5-1 or 4-2 at the bye instead of struggling to reach .500.

After opening the game with a TD which was the first opening drive for a TD in a couple years and putting up 14 points in 1st qtr we only had the ball once in 3rd qtr. Chargers gifted us a couple turnovers on horrid passes by the touted upcoming elite rocket arm Hebert and penalties thwarted scoring opportunities including 2 TD’s called back providing an opportunity for final winning drive .

We could also say we barely missed being 2-0

Just as easy as you can say we escaped 0-2 we could have been 2-0 just saying its football breaks go different ways sometimes

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

This game proves what a lot of us has been saying all along is exactly right.

Focus on the run game = Win

Throw the ball 45 times = Loss

Hopefully this is an eye opener for the coaches going forward. Dak doesn't have to play great if you have a good game plan with the run game.

 

[Doomsday101]

NFL is filled with close games and there were a slew of them yesterday. Cowboys went on the road playing against a talented team and beat them. Personally I'm going to enjoy this win.

 

[Hook'em#11]

They won. Shut up.

 

[CATCH17]

With consistent officiating we’re 2-0 easy.

no, this isn’t true.

what is true is , play complimentary football and we will win..don’t play complimentary football and we lose..yes, running the ball helps playing complimentary football but it’s not the only way..there are other aspects of the team too.

 

[Diehardblues]

So far turnovers have been the difference.

In Tampa without them that game wouldn’t have been close.

And in LA the Chargers critical turnover provided us an opportunity to win the game.

I’d argue 1-1 is very fortunate.

Not that simple, 2 different defense with 2 different schemes. I think most of us knew that Chargers run defense could be exploited and Dallas did that. vs Tampa yes we lost vs the SB champs at their house and it took a last second FG for Tampa to win. Moore showed he could call 2 different styles of offense to take advantage of the opponents weakness and I hope he continues to that.

 

[Mk2_Cowboys]

We are barely NOT 2-0 with kicker missing a 31 yard field goal in the loss against the stacked defending world champions.

100%.

Just like you don’t run into a stacked box and Vea/Suh in Tampa, you don’t throw 50 times when you’re staring at two high safeties all game. Moore is having a good season so far.

 

[glimmerman]

If we made the FG the first week then we would be 2-0. Glad our kicker hit this week.

We actually had both. No doubt throwing it 50+ times a game isn’t a recipe for success.

Dak had a solid game. I think he was like 22 for 27 for about 270 yards. We scored our 1st opening drive TD in like 2 or 3 seasons . And we only touched the ball once in 3rd qtr as Chargers dominated 2nd half TOP.

It also was the first game we won in a couple years when we didn’t score 30 points or more.

I am sure Tampa Bay was saying, we escaped 0-1, barely...

You got it. It is about exploiting defense where you see venerability. Chargers continue to keep the 2 high look and playing backers off the line and the Cowboys have the talent to exploit that and Moore took advantage of it. What is stupid is trying to attack a defense that their strength

Playing SD yesterday was like looking into a franchise mirror. We tried to give it away at the end but they wouldn't accept.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

no, this isn’t true.

100% .....play advantage matchups. MM said earlier in the week Zeke and Pollard would have chances aginst the Chargers D ( playing two-deep safeties ).

Chargers lost turnover differential last week against Wash but overcame.

Turnovers and penalties cost them yesterday. Throwing an interception in endzone and 2 TD’s called back due to penalties cost them the game.
