Can't believe I'm typing this but Dallas should handle up on KC pretty easily lol

It's reasonable to think we could finish the year 15-2 with a BYE.

I'm really happy that we play Arizona week 16 because that will let us know exactly where we stand among the best teams. We already know we can go toe-to-toe with Tampa Bay, that loss was a moral victory.

Shut up, Don't look ahead. Our only focus should only be on Denver. Lets not create any trap games.

Well we should completely obliterate Denver. The only way this game could be interesting is if Dak sits again but it doesn't look like that is happening.

We just need to stay healthy! That might be more important than winning this game even.

We wore these helmets only once before. The 1976 season which was our country's bi-centennial year. Just me, but I do not like the red strip in our helmets.

I wonder with the loss of Von Miller this week if it will severely effect the Broncos today and we have a field day on offense.

Welp wake up call today.

Everything looked bad from top to bottom with the exception of maybe Micah Parsons.

Dak looked bad
WRs dropping things
RB game not great
Offensive line struggling big without Tyron Smtih
Defense looked pretty awful
giving up passes
giving up big runs
can't tackle anything

What a horrible horrible showing today.

The only silver lining here is that maybe Dallas was getting too much of an ego and needed a game like this to bring them back to Earth.

Also I hope I never see those 1976 helmets again...clearly they are cursed.

Nothing to add. Cowboys just didn't show up today. I'm not sure what to think about this effort.

Even the 1995 Super Bowl Champ Cowboys lost 4 games that season.

But I think the Cowboys are thin at linebacker.

Would've been nice if the Cowboys got Von Miller.

Besides adding depth by getting Von, it would also have prevented the Rams from getting better on defense.

The tackling efforts were very stressful to watch. It just felt like they couldn't bring anyone down and were just getting run all over.

We got really unlucky with that blocked punt I feel like had the offense taken over at that spot and scored it might have had a huge impact on the momentum of the game. The fact that it was a 1st down Denver was super deflating...just awful honestly.

I think this team can not survive with Tyron Smith...after Dak I think he is our #2 MVP. We absolutely NEED him if we are going to win.

I noticed going back and watching the game again, Dan Quinn never made one adjustment after Denver went two TE's and pounded the ball.

Well, this week the Cowboys DESTROYED the Falcons!

Too bad Zeke fumbles the ball in the Red Zone on one of their drives or it would have been 50, :beer:

Dan Quinn gets the game ball after win today. Not sure how I feel about that after his lack of effort last week.

Last week was a bad week for all the NFC contenders.

But one potential weakness of this Cowboys team is the run defense.

Denver was able to keep the Dallas offense off the field because the Cowboy defense couldn't stop the run.

The Denver game really had me questioning if this team was a pretender. Now this complete and total dominance. I can't remember such extreme polar opposites from one game to the next.

Seeing the Bucs lose the Washington, Bills lose to Jags, etc etc keeps things in perspective too. This is the NFL and any team can lose to any team. It's any given Sunday.

Micah Prescott · Post #97 » by **Micah Prescott** » Mon Nov 15, 2021 3:18 pm

Dallas offense right now -

#1 overall in yards per game (433.9)
#1 overall in points per game (31.6)

Dallas defense right now -

#15 overall in yards per game (354.0)
#10 overall in points per game (21.7)

Offense is elite...Defense is maybe just a little above average.

We need the defense to step it up just a little bit...and holding the Falcons to just 3 points is a good start

Fierce1 · Post #98 » by **Fierce1** » Tue Nov 16, 2021 12:17 pm

As long as the defense limit the rushing yards of the opposing team, Dallas will be fine.

Like in the Denver game, Dallas' offense wasn't able to get on the field because the Cowboy defense couldn't stop the run.

Micah Prescott · Post #99 » by **Micah Prescott** » Tue Nov 16, 2021 7:06 pm

Well the Chiefs suddenly look like the Chiefs again. And this game is in KC. I honestly wouldn't be surprised by any outcome.

The only outcome that would surprise me is a low scoring game.

We still have Lawrence and Gregory out. Hopefully that will improve big time when they soon get back. Although it is a bit demoralizing when the offesne constantly goes for it in their own end and leave the defense in such bad spots.
