What was learned today

[J12B]

• Zeke is even more valuable than we believed. The defense loses its dominance the second it is gassed. Without Zeke today the offense was forced to move the ball in the air and they did a nice job. But that meant shorter time with the ball and more time for the defense on the field. They couldnt stop Eli and Barkley. Zeke and the rushing attack is the only formula for success
• Blake Jarwin has the ability to be a solid starter next season
• Gallup is our #2 reciever for the future
• Dak can still make plays
• Beasley is still a valuable piece on this offense

Great offensive win today, the type of win this team needed headed into the playoffs.

 

[Tabascocat]

They had to fight, always a good thing going into the postseason

 

[CF74]

• Upgrades needed at safety and DT.

 

[UncleOscar]

Need to keep eye out for new kicker.

 

[RS12]

Defense more vulnerable than we believed also.

 

[CWR]

I learned WE DEM BOYZ!

 

[droopdog7]

I’m not sure I rooted so hard for a meaningless game in my life.

 

[Tangle_Foot]

Good win for the boys going into the playoffs very exciting game

• Upgrades needed at safety and DT.

I thought our DTs were pretty good today. Consistent push up the middle. Most of the rushing yards came on the outside.

What we should have learned?
Next week is going to be a different level of intensity with little margin for error.
Are we up to it, especially after a thrilling victory today?
We shall see.

I think Gallup is future 1b at worst.

 

[Joe Realist]

They may be one and done or not. I do know that they were 7-1 in 2nd half in season 9-3 in close games. That trend usually reverses the next year.

 

[CowboysDrew]

I’m not sure I rooted so hard for a meaningless game in my life.

By going mostly all out the game became very meaningful. It was clear both teams wanted the win.

Losing would've been devastating going into the playoffs.

 

[Zordon]

I know he's a lost cause but you can see why the team has kept hope for an Irving return. This defense is good but needs an extra spark to be elite.

 

[sdfidaho]

The second half defense continues to be a very concerning issue

 

[CF74]

I thought our DTs were pretty good today. Consistent push up the middle. Most of the rushing yards came on the outside.

If one falls I’m taking a DT, otherwise yeah BPA.. I want one more pocket crasher on this roster...

 

[The Quest for Six]

I thought the Cowboys would mail this game in since it's meaningless but they stepped up and showed some character today in winning a nothing game on the road against a division rival to end the regular season

I’m not sure about devastating but I completely agreed with the decision to try to win the game (within reason). We can all say the game means nothing but I bet it doesn’t feel like that to the players, especially in the thick of it.

 

[Playmaker3128]

Disagree on the defense. I think it was more scheme all day. Last drive the giants had we went man all four downs. The giants didn't move the ball. Thats the cowboys d.

I'm with you there, this upcoming draft is deep with linemen.
