Last time will be tonight....35-10.....

Actually the closer this game gets to kick off, the more concerned I am.

You need to be hard enough to score on that, eventually, your offense gives you a two score lead. Then things can snowball once the other guys become one-dimensional. So, with our defense, it's not something you're going to see very often.

It seems Dak is likely our future. I hope we've learned our lesson and invest heavily in a defense to give him a real shot in the future.

We've really squandered Tony's career in that regard.

Even a blind squirrel gathers a nut, but I cannot remember the last easy win we got. A game that was decided going into the 4th quarter. And I don't expect one tonight, with Tyron and Oscan out, and CHI a desperate team. In fact, a loss would not surprise me. But here's hoping that the team shows up with the intensity of last week and that Hoyer throws a couple up for us to pick off.
Rarely with this owner, this coach and this team.

No, because when Dallas gets a lead, Garrett gets conservative and tries to run out the clock.

The biggest blow out I can remember was against the Colts in 2014...I believe week 16 or 17 (right before Washington). I think we fed them a 40-burger before the 4th qtr began.

You're preaching to the choir on the defensive talent front. It's been frustrating to watch them not address is sufficiently year after year after year.

Last easy win was a 42-7 blowout against the colts in 2014

Well, last year we were 4-12, so that's why it seems like forever. Last few wins in 2014, @ washington in week 17 and @ indianapolis in week 16 were blowouts.

So what are you saying?

Easy wins are not where its at.

This team has to relearn how to win.

And they have to win and lose as a team..

not look to single players to have to pull our butts out of the fire to do it.

We are seeing bigger plays out of some giys who have disappeared lately.

Clayborne, Carr, Jones, Greene, T Wiiliams and others are starting to contribute.

So any win is great..to me anyway.
