What was different today vs Rams?

[Captain-Crash]

the losers got their feelings hurt and decide to play like they should have all year long. run, run, run, quit padding stats.

 

[GORICO]

Maybe they're excited that Garrett will be gone after the season ..

Reality--- i hope so...i cant feel sorry for Garrett ..he makes like 7 mil a year...he has like 35 or 40 mil in the bank over 10 years

They Had to win...

What did they do that made them look like a champion team?

Zeke didn't touch the ball on any of the Cowboys' first eight 1st & 10 plays today. In the previous 3 games (all losses) in the first half, Elliott had touched the ball on 62% of Dallas' 1st & 10 plays.

Zeke Elliott Touches on 1st & 10
first half of previous 3 games (NE, Buf, Chi)
42 1st & 10's
26 Elliott touches

vs Rams
15 1st & 10's
4 Elliott touches

That's one thing that probably made a difference for the offense. The defense was the bigger story though.

Today proves that this team has been mentally weak and read too many press clippings telling them how talented they were. Simple difference today was mental focus. They focused on football and not playing stupid today. And that goes for the coaches too; better play calling and no stupid game management mistakes. They focused mentally today...for a change.

Seriously? What did they do that made them look like a champion team?

The Gorico guarantee. It is the only plausible explanation for what happened today.

 

[cheyennes]

Atittude, we win the trenches, DL control LOS and our OL pushed Donald

Seriously? What did they do that made them look like a champion team?

We won the trenches on both sides of the ball. That was really the main difference.

Seriously? What did they do that made them look like a champion team?

We won the in the trenches. DL and OL kicked butt.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

Maybe the coaches and players are trying to look good for the next HC or next team.

 

[basilhayden]

Not many stupid penalties. No missed tackles. Effort.

Oh, you mean discipline?

 

[Blast From The Past]

Seriously? What did they do that made them look like a champion team?

The players got their head out of their rectums and quit reading the headlines about them being the best this, that or the other. They played as a team finally. They played with purpose and were poised as like no other time all year long. Will beat the Eagles if they bring to bare this team next week and not the other one.

Seriously? What did they do that made them look like a champion team?

Jason Garrett gave a motivational speech, and afterwards, clapped.

 

[Gangsta Spanksta]

You wanted coaching and a better game plan well you got it
1 missed tackle on defense also helped. The running game needs to be the offensive priority

An example of the coaching?

 

[Risen Star]

Seriously? What did they do that made them look like a champion team?

They won in the trenches. Simple as that.

 

[Hardline]

Rams didn't have C.J. Anderson this time.

 

[exciter]

Seriously? What did they do that made them look like a champion team?

Antwaan Woods playing like last year!

 

[OldJarhead]

A. The Rams aren't near as good as people thought.
B. The Rams know they aren't going to the playoffs, this was a pre-UHaul game for them.
C. Cowboys players are doing their best to get some good tape for contract negotiations during the off-season.
D. All of the above.

 

[Mind_Liberator]

They didn't know our signals..

 

[Kevinicus]

Jeff Heath.

Duh.
