It really scares me, tbh. I know we are finally proven, but damn... let's just celebrate today, I guess.
 
Still in a fog.

You know who was really very good tonight? Anthony Spencer.

Yes he was, and that's a very encouraging sign.

If he can get his knee right, we might just have a decent pass rusher that we didn't expect.

Another 29 carry game. I'm afraid his legs may fall off.

We do need to limit his carries, but today wasn't the day.

In order to beat a team of the Seahawks' physicality, we had to be physical back - and we are at our best physically when that monster is running the ball and punishing defenders.

You know what's so impressive? Outside of just winning, it's the physicality in which they played with, and coming from behind twice when Seattle had all the momentum and that crowd going nuts.

They displayed both a physical toughness in matching up with Seattle, and a mental toughness to come back twice in those conditions - two virtues that have long avoided this team.

Like you said, this metamorphosis is very impressive.

It would have been so easy for Dallas to just tuck it in an take a loss today. Falling behind by 10 points early with that blocked punt. It would have been really easy for the game to get out of hand at that point. In fact if you go back to the first game of the season it probably would have all fell apart at that point. Today we were just clearly the better team and we took care of business. I'm certainly enjoying this season!
 
Durant was also very good tonight.

Yea this is a whole different team from the one that just watched as Lee got lit up.

He ran Sherman the fuck over. It was beautiful.

He looked very good playing LE. I know the plan was to use him on the right side but I'd leave him on the left. It's basically where he has played his whole career and he holds up very well against the run even though he isn't 280lbs.

What I love is that there seems to be regular pressure on the passer, and it's not always just from one guy. Wilson constantly seemed flustered back there. It was a complete team effort to get to the QB. The motor on this team is so so impressive.

Excellent point.

We have to remember that this team has so many new faces. I'm not trying to trash Ware, but I argued for years that our team, while talented, was soft and that the only way we'd truly get over that is to bring in a signficant amount of new blood. Ware wasn't a mean guy or much of a leader, and that hurt us even more in games like today. And while maybe these guys aren't super talented, they are tough and gritty.

These guys haven't been around for all of the choke jobs and epic losses. They haven't been here for the humiliating collapses.

I just hope they keep this thing going into January.

Best game pressure wise we've had this year, IMO.

I just hope the sacks start coming soon.
