Yes I agree to a point … if they lose in the first round again 🙄…it will just add to the one and dones of previous years… visions of sir claps-a-lot dancing in our minds … however, we need to bury this feeling and let it never arise again.. the only way is to WIN….nothing else matters .. no participation trophies here just the fuckin Lombardi trophy … in the words of Jake Taylor ( Major League ) WELL, THERE’S ONLY ONE THING LEFT TO DO …….WIN THE WHOLE FUCKIN THING !!

I like our chances better against the Rams instead of AZ. Don’t know why.

Murray didn't beat us the other day. This is about whether our offense performs.

who did beat us? because it sure looked like he was doing a good. yea his team performed better across the boards, but if the QB is the most important, he really showed our defense little respect as he could mainly do as he pleased while we watched.

This may be shocking, Dak actually had a better QB rating than Murray. The ground game was the difference. Dak had none.

break down where we beat ourselves, how it happened, and lets discuss.
Multiple penalties on 3rd down to either take away a 1st down for us or extend a drive for Arizona when they would've been off the field, Zuerlein missing a short FG, Simmons making an amazing play on the punch out fumble which was ultimately the play of the game (aside from the blatant missed fumble at the end).

That's how we lost, Murray was fine but not the difference in the game.

Yeah he did a little. We didn't have a great plan to contain him and we played too much man. Hopefully we get our shit together next week.

We could definitely contain him better, but we scored 20 points. That's not enough.

i also feel like he didnt take us serious, that he could come in do what he wanted and for the most part he did a good job. their defense seemed better than ours but ours was tiring out during the long haul

The offense had scored 7 points after three quarters. One TD.

You can't get down that far, score 15 in the last quarter to make it close, and claim the QB and offense were fine.

We needed to play with a sense of urgency from the get go and we had none. It was like they didn't flip the switch until they had to. Still we were one stop or one missed field goal from going to over time.
