You won by 8 points and you know good and well that not reviewable fumble was a huge momentum shift in your team's favor that the refs just happened to get wrong. Been watching football my whole life and it's always been this way with Dallas. It's just a cold hard reality that there are certain teams the league favors for marketing reasons. 

You're arrogant because your team always gets the calls and most of the time your team still sucks. On top of that, on average Cowboy fans are the least knowledgeable of any fan base in the NFL. I honestly have nothing against most of your players. It's your garbage of a human being owner and your bangwagon no nothing poo for brains fanbase that I take issue with. 

Cowboys fans are always the first to run their mouths when the team wins and the first to make excuses when they suck, so get your sorry ass outta here with your pot calling the kettle black bullshit.

lol still a semi free country bro

We knew going into this game Dallas had a badass o-line, Dak is on fire, and they have plenty weapons. We were without Horn. Sometimes you get the bear. Sometimes the Bear gets you.

Yep I think the Burris injury hurt the defense a surprising amount too. Franklin does not belong in the NFL.

Hartsfield too. He always seems to get forgotten about. Had Myles and Jaycee not got hurt I’m not sure Bouye sees the field

Don't forget all the fumbles the refs gave back to us too! /sarc. 

(Yes I had to put the sarc label for the boys fan.)

the numbers always come back to reasonable no matter what. you can't average 45 rushing against for the whole season while tearing opposing quarterbacks apart on a weekly basis. some games you're going to get stood up by one side of the ball. and to be really honest, we had our most momentum of the game on that Chinn forced fumble that would have given us the ball on short field with the lead that turned into an absolute gutshot of a touchdown. 

the thing about the defense is that we've seen them mostly fresh this season because they've been that good at getting off the field. even if it didn't manifest into overwhelming point totals, we took a lot of body blows against their rush in the first half and it slowed the pass rush down.

plus, for the first time we saw Darnold seeing ghosts. he was really getting pinned back there and he looked like Jets Darnold in the 3rd quarter. he straightened it out at the end to make it competitive and to save his line, but he had some tough tough turnovers there when our defense needed a blow. you can put part of that on the playcalling for forgetting hubbard existed during that stretch.

Chinn was awful in coverage. Busted coverages, missed tackles, just out of position a bunch this year but he paid for it today.

at the end of the day we lost..but tons of positives to take away from the game as a whole though..the team is vastly improved from last year and on top of that we could very well win our next 5 making us 8-1 heading into he back end of our schedule ..dallas is a legit team and to only fall by 8 to them isnt bad at all..our offense showed fight and battled back down y 3 tds

nobody will want to admit this but you're right. the safety experiment needs to pick up some momentum quickly. he's stretched out on athleticism at his size. it's such a repeat of the thomas davis situation. he hits so hard you want him to have some runway to make hits like he made today but not at the expense of being able to cover deep.

go to 16:14 and watch D Brown. This is with them needing a stop to get the ball back to give Sam a chance. just wow SMH

The offense needed to help that defense out more, they seemed gassed by the end of the game. There were holds that weren't called but that's out of their control. What they can control is pressure and gap coverage, something that they didn't do at all.

They made halftime adjustments and we didn't. D looked fine in the 1st half. Got wrecked in the 2nd half.

 

This. We got out coached bad in the second half.
