What was learned today

[Beaker42]

That D. Jackson is a practice squad player.

Yeah, running behind back-up’s back-ups and couldn’t do anything against a good D-line’s starters. He must suck.

 

[Kolemmitt]

Add to this: When we took DLaw out of the game our pass rush was stagnant unless we blitzed. Taco played OK in his absence but we definitely missed DLaw.

Yep. I also think we missed Crawford. They are both tough as hell against the run and they are the emotional heart of D. Defense plays much better today if the Boise guys play all 4 qtrs.

• 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.

I couldn't have said it better.

I think this was the right call by JG

Ok but easy to say when no

I think this was the right call by JG

you might be right but that's easy to say when no one got hurt let's keep it real if dak got hurt today cowboyszone would crash in the internet would be burnt to the ground tell me I'm lying

 

[Mr_437]

Up-tempo offense now.
Jarwin n Gallup tuned up and ready for playoffs.
Get Coop established early next week.
STs need to step up.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

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

Guarantee you that's exactly what the coaches wanted to see......even more so than a W.

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.

Cry Eagles cry

Just my opinion, and there will always be "woulda, shoulda, coulda" no matter which way it was played.
This should give Dak big confidence for next week, and in my mind he needed it

 

[LandryFan]

Woods and Collins have been playing well though, you have to admit.

Woods had an idiotic, undisciplined "taunting" penalty that could have cost them the game. Those types of penalties are the worst, because they're completely avoidable. I would have benched his *** right then and there.

I feel you on that one.

But like i said nowone got hurt so we don't have to have that conversation trust me if somewon hit him in the knee we wouldn't be talking about his performance

Forgot about Crawford being out. After hearing the interview with DLaw it is clear that Crawford is the heart and leader of that defensive line. Thers was a time I did not want Crawford on the team due to his contract. That is no longer the case. Guy does everything the coaches ask and provides the veteran leadership we need.

 

[Mr_437]

When is Tyrone coming back?

 

[J12B]

When is Tyrone coming back?

He could have played today and will be starting next week in the PLAYOFFS

Believe you're at tie a knot and hold on at this point

 

[TheHerd]

What I learned:
Dak can kick it without a running game.
Defense isn't s great as we hoped.
Coverage teams are atrocious.
Garrett played the starters, so leave him alone about resting everyone.

 

[Mr_437]

He could have played today and will be starting next week in the PLAYOFFS

Sweet..full strength. Sit Charlton.

I get that, yes

 

[Stargazing]

The Giants are better than 5-11. They nearly beat the Colts last week. Not too mention 2 of the best oline and Zeke tested today.

Jason Witten never caught 3tds in a game in his 84 year years of being a Dallas cowboy. Jarwin has noticeably progressed from the start of the season. He will continue to grow.

The offense performed how they should against a poor defensive unit. That is a good thing. They hadn't done that in a while and did it without 3 key starters.

Ha lol ok .So are u saying Jarwin is better than Witten???? My point is why eveb bring up a stat that Witten never did. Once u do that than u leave yourself open for people to destroy your comment. So please tell me what your point is. Who gives a crap what Jarwin did against a very bad team and a team for years has struggled to cover a TE. Look at Witten numbers against the Giants. Come on. Jarwin is not that good. Sure he may get better but relax please. We played a bad team. So u can convince yourself all u want.

Fans judging this defense on game 16, a meaningless game, = ignorance.
