2023 Season | Week 6 | Gameday Chatter Thread | Cowboys @ Chargers | 10/15/2023

Well, the good thing is we get a W and we have a bye coming up to keep the dull noise out and regroup.

There is a lot to be taken away with this and I have said all damn night, we better look at the OL. We have real problems.

I just pray they are banged up as fuck because that was awful.

What the hell is the caped thing on Dak's uni?

It is the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award patch.

 

[ravidubey]

Where was that pass rush all game? Holy shit?

I’m telling you they got lots of pressure tonight, just didn’t get home

 

[fortsbest]

Gilmore was smart on the INT. Rather than scope it with his hands, he twists before he hits the ground so that ball is on his body. PRetty smart.

 

[boozeman]

This was a good win and I’m not shitting on it.

Parsons showed up at the right time and so did the rest of the D. Dak played better than I have seen all season.

You never shit on a W.

But if we show up to watch film next week and think we are more great than lucky, we have problems.

 

[1bigfan13]

Dak was 21/30 for 272 yards and 1 TD.

Makes Smitty's ill-timed rant look even sillier.

I want a QB upgrade as well but tonight was not the night to go on a Dak rant.

I mean, I'm the king of "Just get enough wins right now to make the playoffs and be playing your best at the end of the year"....

... but that almost felt like a loss. Mistakes everywhere, and I don't think the Chargers are anything special.

Yeah we just had to have this win. Not sure how to put it other than that. It's also good to see us win a game where everything didn't just go right for us. We dropped the INTs all game, gave them a free TD. Yada Yada Yada, and in the end Dak led a massive drive to take the lead and the defense stepped up to get the huge stop.

We also overcame what looked like a screw job by the refs.

True, if Tolbert isn't a dipshit the game probably doesn't go down to the wire.

I wouldn't go that far but yeah I feel like it was a pretty disorganized performance. So many stupid penalties. The offense felt like basically a Dak scramble drill. No running game to speak of. And while ultimately the defense played good, it didn't feel that great. Probably because we couldn't sack Herbert to save our lives until the end when suddenly it was beautiful pressure.

 

[ravidubey]

Eagles, Bills, Dolphins, Lions before the Commanders game to end the year.

Talk about a brutal four game stretch

And of course we play the Lions while the Eagles played the Vikings

We also overcame what looked like a screw job by the refs.

We also overcame a lot of really sloppy play on both sides of the football.

It was good seeing them involved in a game that wasn't a blow out. The Chargers have a losing record but they are a very talented team. So it was a good measuring stick.

I have a better idea who the Cowboys are after this game.

Such a screwy play but boneheaded by Tolbert in the end. That and the BS PI just made it too easy to give them a free 7.

 

[Genghis Khan]

He was playing one handed and still nearly beat this team.

He scored 17. And 7 of it was an absolute gift. Come on now.

 

[data]

We also overcame what looked like a screw job by the refs.

Browns/49ers game had 25 accepted penalties. I don't know if it was league-wide, but just feels like the NFL suddenly told the refs to change it up and enforce it.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

On a side note I think we should move Gallup behind Tolbert. Gallup has become pretty useless on offense.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

One handed? It wasn't his throwing hand, so...

Walter Payton man of the year patch.

Or Darth Vader.
