1) 38 pts. 10/13/24. (QB Dak Prescott)
2) 33 pts. 11/18/01 (QB Ryan Leaf)
3) 28 pts 11/19/17 (QB Dak Prescott)

5) 27 pts 11/23/89 (Troy Aikman)
5) 27 pts 9/3/2000 (Randal Cunningham)


If anyone is curious about that 1988 score
40 pts 11/13/88 (QB Sweeny)
ah i see the haters are out in full force..

.
so, you're saying that it has nothing to do with Defense, OL, RUN GAME, special teams , defense and coaching? GM? YUP SAID Defense TWICE.. so this place somehow keeps attaching QB names to final scores and losses, all to the quarterback??...

Precious, somehow yesterdays loss is now a Dak thing..LMMFBO!!!

why do we even bother putting the quarterbacks name beside these things, but the rest of a team names, how about the coaches?

The 89 Cowboys never got beat like we saw yesterday or even against New Orleans. The 89 Cowboys never lost by more than 23 points and never gave up more than 36 points. When the current Cowboys get beat, they get their doors completely blown off. Every time we start getting manhandled we quit. This team is a joke!
The 89 Cowboys lost to new Orleans 28-0 in jimmy and Troy's 1st game.

Team game for sure. Defense was epically awful too.

But big margins of loss always require an incredibly inept offense too. Dallas scored 9 points and zero TDs....at home.
This was a fairly important game too, given the Lions are an NFC playoff contender.
Sure, the offense shares some of the responsibility in a game like that.

But to stop the large margin you are asking the offense to score on every single possession. It is an impossible ask. There is simply always going to be games where the offense - of any team - isn't going to come out firing and the defense has to give them a chance to get right.

You are too stupid to even realize that every time the other teams scored, Dak got the ball back.

Learn football, then try and act like a tough guy.

Nothing more laughable than guy like you telling other people they are stupid while wearing an "I'm a f****** moron" sandwich board.
You think that asking the QB to score on every possession with no run game and receivers who can't get open

I'm not the stupid one here lol

I hear you.
Just saying, maybe those margins are 15-20 points.
This was 38 points.
We haven't lost that badly at home in 36 years...and only once in 50 years

Maybe because we scored nine points and he continually put the defense in a bad position. That's probably it. Is this your first season?
This is just total nonsense. Why do you people make so much stuff up.

Their first-half scoring drives were:

70 (TD)
58 (FG)
63 (TD)
39 (FG)
38 (TD)

They didn't start a drive in Cowboys territory until is was already 20-3. It is impossible to respect any of you people because you do not live in reality.

There's no difference between losing by 20 and 40. It's the same thing.

You feel better if the game was 47-20 instead?

That's because their defense (89) was better.
Ranking wise, our defense is ranked one spot higher in total defense than the 89 Cowboys. Offensively we’re ranked much higher than the 89 Cowboys who were ranked almost dead last. A bad offense is going to have an affect on your defense. Our current defense is one of the worst I’ve seen with the Cowboys. I can’t remember any Cowboys defense getting manhandled as bad as this one does. We have players on defense that flat out quit. This defense is a complete joke.

If we're looking for a silver lining and blue glass half full, look no further than 2014

Romo and the Cowboys laid a rare home egg vs...you guessed it...Philly in November.
It wasn't as bad as this but still an awful home loss....33-10...so 23 points at home loss.

After that the Cowboys rolled the rest of the way and he had 16 TDs, 1 int, and 138 QB rating over 6 games including playoffs

Why do you people say such stupid things? What is with the incessant desire to blame the defense giving up a scoring drive on every possession on the QB?

It is the dumbest thing imaginable.
wait you do realize that not scoring is a factor in point differential right? and not taking up clock time on offense, and turning the ball over? How is bad qb play not a huge factor in the final score?
