From the offense, defense, special teams and coaching staff. Too many penalties that stalled drives or kept Buffalo drives going. Defense couldn’t stop the run and the offense sucked all around. Give credit to Buffalo. They probably played their best game of the year. We get every teams best.

BUT, the seasons not even close to being over. Quinn needs to figure out how to stop the run with what he’s got and MM needs to figure out how to beat that kind of defensive scheme because I’m sure they’ll see more of it.

So let the haters celebrate and do their gloating. They‘re quitters and/or bandwagon fans. I’m still a believer and looking forward to see how the team handles this set back.

I thought you were doing really great until right at the end.

For some reason you are obsessed with insulting good cowboys fans. You just cant help yourself, probably a symptom of something else.

Since we have the 5th seed locked up , especially if Egirls win tomorrow night, I might be inclined to rest any stars nursing an injury and limiting exposure from our stars to make sure we are healthy for playoffs .

That last drive today when game was totally over I was wondering why we were risking injury to Prescott. Seemed foolish to me down 31-3 with 5 minutes left.

Shoot, we could be the most rested and healthy team headed into January. Just saying..
Yeah I was getting a little tired of seeing CD lamb getting up and limping in the rain for no good reason.

Analysis...disappointment before another consecutive year to the playoffs. Disappointment at this point even, is premature. That was a strong loss, but there are further good teams to play. Let's watch before declaring failure at this point. That is what Rockport supports. He is positive as to support as long as there is hope.

No type of categorization removes opportunity...that is football. Rockport is a fan.

This now is a run to the playoffs. Team strength is forged by failures as well. This is many's 3rd at being just there.
The disappointment was referring to that of this era. And I stated we retain hope. A poor interpretation of my post.

We are all fans. And we conduct our fandom differently. Insulting or attacking other fans is attempting to discredit them personally because you don’t like or agree with their message. And basically have no other rebuttal.

We don’t have to agree. Much like in society we don’t all agree on our leaders, policies and direction but on the battlefield we come together for one purpose . To win. And that’s what we do for 60 minutes each week during the season. The rest is up for debate and discussion.

None of the teams under Johnson or Switzer ever suffered this type of loss in December during four consecutive title game runs. Losses by seven points or fewer...but not 21. When you think about injuries to the Bills and that they were one call away from probably being 6 - 7 it can rattle more pragmatic fans. It can't be that you lose one player (Hankins) and your entire run defense collapses for sixty minutes. With Quinn, I can take him or leave him at this point. Maybe it's time for him to find a HC job somewhere. Maybe the d-line coach as well.

I'm okay with losing a tough game on the road after a satisfying win over a division rival but to not show up is simply unacceptable. And now you are right back where you were the last two years...fifth seed and no home games for the playoffs. And the kicker is...it wasn't the 49ers that you played. It was a Bills team with significant losses on the defensive side.

Ugly business.
I kind of feel like our run defense was always on the brink of disaster and hankins helped keep things under control without him it just spiraled out.

Kind of like what used to happen when Tyron would go out injured on offense the whole offense would come to a screeching halt

It’s obvious many of our fans have never attended a Cowboys game. For it’s a great example how fans of different feathers express their fandom.

How many times have we sat next to our fans who we think we’d never conduct ourselves in such a manner nor invite them into our house.

Everyone is entitled to conduct themselves within the law in public and in this case the rules of this forum.

I’ve attended over 300 Cowboy games in my 60+ seasons following the Cowboys. And there have been more times than you’d think I’d rather of sat next to an opposing fan than our own. Some are just rude, obnoxious , filthy , stinky , bashing one player, etc and won’t sit the hell down or shut up. Even with children nearby. A public menace.

I had to have more unlawful Cowboy fans removed as a season ticket holder for 4 decades than rowdy opposing fans. Sad but true.

The point is we must all find a way to come together on what we have common ground on not what divides us. Sometimes ignoring is best policy. Belligerent personalities love the attention.

Rise above the pettiness . Be the bigger person. Show some class. Let the authorities handle rule breakers. Which if you are attacking or insulting other fans it’s a violation. And the sooner you report the more likely it’s going to be resolved.

So much for the NFL being a "passing League."

It looked like we were playing Army last night.

Everybody pisses & moans, but I've yet to hear anyone suggest a defensive adjustment that could have been made to counter BUF's strategy -- one we're likely to see again over the next couple of weeks. (I certainly don't have one.)

this right here is why i call some the "Mediocre Boyz"

they just love this medicroity and accept it as the Cowboy way. Ups and downs, wins and losses, no matter what you sit there and say "GO COWBOYS, WE RE WINNING THE SUPER BOWL" every year.

Yeah, I think the only other time they played that well was against the Dolphins in Buffalo. They get really motivated against good teams that come to their place. It was clear we didn't match their intensity level. On to the next game. I'm just hoping we're not the 1991 Lions. We have to get one of these games.
They need to know they can win on the road against a good team. Combination of factors led up to this loss. They came out flat and stated that was. MM needs to knock some heads around.

So, what would be the opposite of a hater? Hypothetically.

A foolish, ignorant Pollyanna? Maybe.

I mean, if we're able to claim one side of thought is just pure hate,
the opposite side surely should be allowed to retort.

(Like many fans, I'm hopeful for a positive ending to the season. However,
for those on the board repeatedly calling out others, part of me will
immensely enjoy seeing Baker's Bucs knock Daddy Dak and the Whiffs out
of the playoffs... knowing how upset "you people" will be.)

I’ve said it many times before many fans hope the Cowboys lose so they can pound their little chests and gloat.

Hey, you know that ship you were going to throw everyone off of because they say something bad about Dak? I think that ship has hit an iceberg and might be slowly sinking. But, the "haters" are still aboard, they see you.

Are you convinced that if you keep saying this same thing 500 or 1000 more times it will eventually become true?
