FUCK YOU STRAHAN.

Just seeing you lisp over your analysis is instant gratification.

Horrible call. I'd be so pissed if we lost after that.
Here's another one for you:

One ref ruled it a catch, so you have conflicting calls.....even more of a reason to review, yet it's never even considered.

I'm still mad at about that.

Witten more involved, Dez the main target, screens called for good yardage......the only knock, and it's a big one, is still not running the ball enough.

Good game management on that final drive by Garrett.
Mostly.... there was a bit of a delay after the Dez no catch. Looked like everyone was waiting for the overturn. Leads a question as to play call flow when he's arguing that kind o deal.

Murray average 6.1 YPC, and Dunbar averaged 6.7, and yet we call 38 passes to 17 rushes.

Rapid Reaction: Dallas Cowboys

November, 24, 2013

By Todd Archer | ESPNDallas.com


EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- A few thoughts on the Dallas Cowboys' 24-21 win against theNew York Giants on Sunday.

What it means for the Cowboys: The Cowboys find themselves back in first place in the NFC East with the win thanks to the tiebreaker over the Philadelphia Eagles and can claim an outright share of first place in the division with a win Thursday against the Oakland Raiders.

The Cowboys are 4-0 in the NFC East and swept the Giants for the first time since 2007. It is the fourth time since 1989 the Cowboys have started out 4-0 in the division.

With two weeks to stew over the worse loss of the Jason Garrett era (49-17 to the New Orleans Saints), the Cowboys were able come up with a drive that led to a 35-yard game-winning field goal by Dan Bailey.

A loss would have been traumatic for a team that would have started its December slide a month earlier. Now the Cowboys figure to find themselves in the race for the rest of the season. Oh, and they all but eliminated the Giants, who entered on a four-game winning streak.

Stock watch: Tony Romo, rising. With the season on the line, like it was against Minnesota earlier in the month, Romo responded on the Cowboys final drive, completing six of nine passes to set up the winning kick. Two of the incompletions were drops by Miles Austin andDez Bryant. With everybody wondering what Romo would do in a big moment, he came up big.

Clutch late: Before the final drive of the game for the Cowboys the only third-down conversion was Jason Witten’s third-quarter touchdown. On the winning drive, the Cowboys converted three times on third down.

Dez Bryant had a 19-yard grab after a third-and-7 following a Tyron Smith false start penalty. Bryant converted on third-and-5 with an 8-yard grab from the slot. On third and 10, Cole Beasley picked up 13 yards to set up Bailey’s game-winner.

Still can’t stop the run: The Cowboys have been historically bad with their pass defense through 10 games, but what was lost in the New Orleans game was just how poor their run defense was.

The Saints ran for 242 yards against the Cowboys. The Giants ran for 202.

And it could have been a lot more if Giants offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride had any sense about him. Andre Brown had 127 yards. Brandon Jacobs had 75 yards.

The Cowboys missed Sean Lee badly. Ernie Sims was consistently out of position but the defensive line didn’t do much to help the linebackers either.

It was the third time the Cowboys have allowed 200 yards rushing in a game. TheWashington Redskins had 216 on Oct. 13.

What’s next: The Cowboys have a quick turnaround with the Oakland Raiders visiting AT&T Stadium on Thursday for the annual Thanksgiving Game. The Cowboys have lost two of their last three games on Thanksgiving, but beat the Raiders 24-7 on Nov. 26, 2009.

Can't wait to have a do or die season finale against a 3rd different NFCE opponent in 3 years.
