[Rev]

We will get sunshine blown up our butt this week but this team is shit.

 

[1bigfan13]

Glad he made that kick but they butchered the hell out of the final 25 seconds.

They had time to run 2 more plays. 56 yards is no gimme.

The decision to settle for that long FG reminded me of a Garrett decision.

 

[Genghis Khan]

It’s professional head coach clock management.

Playing for a 56 yard field goal is not good clock management.

 

[bbgun]

kind of an ugly win, but with all our missing players, I'll take it

 

[Chocolate Lab]

I honestly think Dak lost his mind and would have let the clock run out if someone hadn't said something. No way that was planned. Otherwise why even get in formation?

 

[data]

I can't believe our horseshit defense allowed 17 points. Fire the whole squad.

It reminds me of every coach I’ve ever watched from time to time.

 

[jsmith6919]

I have mixed feelings on this. Still mad about that awful clock management but at least we won

As of this moment, this shit team is better than the Chargers everyone was sucking off up till today.

 

[jsmith6919]

Oh well time for another drink

 

[Smitty]

Playing for a 56 yard field goal is not good clock management.

I didn’t say it was.

I said all coaches make these mistakes from time to time.

 

[NoDak]

Dak could have got us a good 20 yards closer easily.

Or, there is a penalty, bad snap, INT, fumble, or whatever. Guess we’ll never know.

 

[Foobio]

Nice to enjoy a win even if it was messy.

 

[Cotton]

I don't agree. I think this team is very good. Especially this defense. It has shown over two games it is actually kinda good.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

I can’t believe karma allowed them to win after that complete bungle of the clock at the end.

The Leg had to redeem himself after losing for us last week.

 

[Couchcoach]

Titans are on. Let's see some Derrick Henry baby!!

 

[Texas Ace]

I've been a pretty pessimistic fan for quite some time now, so this ought to tell you something....

I cannot recall the last time the cowboys won a game and yet I was more annoyed, frustrated, and discouraged after that win.

There were so many dumb and inexplicable things that happened today that I can't feel good about this result even as someone who believes you don't apologize for winning.

And the reason why I am so upset about it is, they operated for most of this game as if they were trying not to lose as opposed to trying to win and I cannot for the life of me understand why that is.

We used to rip Jason Garrett a new one for every time that moron settled for long field goals and yet I don't recall even him making up his mind with 30 seconds to go that he was OK with kicking a 56 yarder.

The feeling of victory can often leave a team blind to their flaws and my concern is that these guys aren't going to realize all of the blunders they made today that would lose them games 99% of the time, with the lack of urgency on that last drive being at the top of the list.

That's the most discouraging win I think I've ever experienced.

 

[Plan9Misfit]

If Zuerlein missed that kick, it would’ve all been on McCarthy for letting 5 seconds tick off the clock for no reason whatsoever. That’s Jason Garrett level stupid.

 

[1bigfan13]

Playing for a 56 yard field goal is not good clock management.

That entire situation reeked of a group, from QB to HC, who weren't on the same page and who were unsure how to play it.
