    Dallas will get into the playoffs, but I will be very surprised if it is more that a one and out post season.

    Very surprised at this game, I thought Dallas was starting to be legit 🤷‍♂️

    no shame in losing to the Colts -- they are flying under the radar. 7-1 in their last 8, with a vastly improved D.

    it's how Dallas lost that i'd be concerned about. no points is obviously problematic, but that vaunted defense couldn't get off the field. they got punked in every phase of the game.

    playing games on the road is an entirely different ball of wax, and that's why i don't see the Boys going far. they might get that first playoff game, but then the rested Rams or the rested Saints will be awaiting them at home. season ovah.

    I thought Dandy Don was dead?

    He is...….just like the Cowboys! The only way we get in the playoffs is with a 8-8 record. Then one and done. Then the whole thing starts over next year. AAARRRGGGHHH!!!

    I didn't get to see the games just the low lights. Looked like some dropped balls and a lot of bad play by Prescott.

    I am starting to lose any hope on Prescott ever being anything to speak of. That 13-3 first year must have been a fluke!

    Have you ever considered switching teams, to let's say maybe............................................THE KANSAS CITY CHIEFS.
    We may be pretty dominant over the next 10-12 years because I know management is going to work on fixing the
    defensive problems. Now is the time dimeman, come join Chiefs nation its going to be a heck of a ride.

    I know. Just having some fun with him. I like the dimeman because he has a good sense of humor
    and can take some ribbing about his Cowboys without getting bent out of shape.

    This has happened to all teams this year. Lots of parody in the league, seeing last place teams upset playoff teams more than ever. They can still be tough in playoffs with their D and Elliot. Teams will continue to make Dak throw downfield to win until he consistently begins to do so.

    Stinkin' Cowboys still beat my Eagles twice this season.

    Well maybe we will do it next season.

    Pay no attention to the Paul/Eric versus Galaxy avatar bet. They are avatar bet amateurs. They didn't know what they were doing. They went WAY overboard with the time frame. The bet should be from the end of the game to the start of next week's game, then it can be switched back. A week of avatar torture is long enough. To have it last for months like they did is like North Korea prison camp torture. Galaxy will never be able to recover from the pain and humiliation he has suffered for so long. So we would do it to last one week, if you decide to do it. ;)

    I think Galaxy may have inadvertently morphed into a Patriots fan, he's had that Brady pic on there for so long. :D

    I did and as the season went on I thought they'd reach 6 losses a lot sooner than they did. They were 3-5 halfway thru the year.

    Eli should retire.

    Giants obviously should have drafted a QB in the last draft, and we all know it.

  • stevekstevek Posts: 27,582 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Gotta give credit to Garrett where credit is due going for the two point conversion. The Cowboys didn't need a tiring overtime game, win or lose, to go into the playoffs a bit more worn out as all the players are this time of the season.

    Dallas offense played well without Elliot. Very key for this team seeing Prescott successfully completing passes downfield. If he is able to do this consistently, watch out NFC!

    I was surprised at how well the passing game did with NO run game!

  • perkdogperkdog Posts: 29,357 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I’m shocked none of you guys made mention of the amount of catches Elliot had this year, Prescott checking down to Zeke has been a huge improvement for the offense.

  • DIMEMANDIMEMAN Posts: 22,403 ✭✭✭✭✭

    If we play up to our potential we should beat the Hawks.

    Dimeman - Why not go to the liquor store now and pickup a few bottles of Jack Daniels to drown your sorrows after tonight's Cowboys loss, rather than waiting until the last minute when the game is over.

    I'm just trying to be a nice guy and help ya out on this. ;)
