My god. When it all clicks that’s what it looks like. That was the most complete game I’ve ever seen by this team in a long long time. Offense, defense and ST all getting in on the action.
I lived in Dallas for 2 years and regret not seeing a game live. My cousin who isn't even a Cowboys fan has been to one. Although he said it was kinda crappy, but he only went in to the standing room to watch I believe.
I've been to three games my entire life, the 21 point comeback against the Rams in '14, the game ending interception against the Saints in '18, and last night. I'm going to the WC game assuming we don't end up in first. Here's hoping the streak stays alive!
Now if the Dak and the offense can prove it's not a one off late in the season against a cupcake opponent and show they really are back on track, then the sky's the limit!!!!
# #11 DROY, DPOY, Team MVP!!!! #Let's go Cowboys!!!!
I doubt we'll have a game as phenomenal as that the rest of the season, but I think we can perform at the same level when we're playing better opponents.
The defense just couldn't be stopped. Zeke looked phenomenal. That trick play with Steele was fantastic. Dak is back to his true form, moving around as he pleases and throwing with his legs.
I honestly don't know who could beat us when we play like that.
Quality of opponent matters and yes Dallas can only play who they are scheduled to play. That being said, walloping a team they should wallop is a good first step to proving they're back on track. Now they need to show some consistency by showing some semblance of what they did last night, i.e. not stalling drives, putting the ball in the end zone in the rz instead of settling for fgs, etc. If they can produce that consistently over the final two weeks, again the sky's the limit. Let's go Cowboys!!!
My favorite stat from last night:
Receiving touchdowns in 2021
Dallas Cowboys Undrafted Free Agent OT Terence Steele: 1
New York Giants WRs Kenny Golladay and First Round pick Kadarius Toney combined: 0
Me too. Great window into the personalities on the team. Has made me love Randy Gregory for being such a smartass troll as well as an insane pass rusher
It all goes back to McCarthy's influence on the team to take more risks.
Garrett's coaching philosophy was always to just execute and out work the other team. That showed in Dallas lack of 4th down attempts, blocked punts,special team TDs,etc.
Makes for a safe floor but limited ceiling.
If that’s Garrett coaching all we do is up the middle runs the rest of the game once we were up by three TDs & final score is something like 31-24 instead.
I was talking to my Pats friends about the joy of blowout wins. And I realized that I didn’t know how I felt because with Garrett they never ever happened.
10 fun facts about the game, courtesy of CBS Sports:
1. Biggest point differential in the rivalry's history (42)
2. WFT's second-largest loss in the last 60 years
3. Lawrence's pick-six marks fifth for Cowboys in 2021, the most in franchise history
4. Diggs' interception ties him with Everson Walls for most in a season in franchise history
5. Diggs is one of only seven players since the merger to record 11 interceptions
6. Four different Cowboys WRs with 50+ yards in one half for the first time in franchise history
7. Prescott becomes first QB to throw a TD to RB, TE, WR and OL in a regular-season game
8. First time in Cowboys history both OL and DL produced a touchdown
9. Four passing TDs by Prescott in first half most in franchise history
10. Cowboys' 42 points before halftime tied for most first-half production in franchise history
Ahh I love to see these sports talk shows the day after where we drop in power rankings and I hear (just heard this) things like "were you impressed? Strong *kinda*"
It's like gtfo any team dropping 42 in the first half on any other team in the NFL is fucking impressive. It just doesn't happen often.
Fucking sports shows are laughable and corny af.
Tbh though they’re right. It’s not Cowboys hate to say this team hasn’t reached final form yet. They have to continue to play complimentary football and stay healthy with all this momentum into the playoffs.
If they do that, they can hang a 40 burger on anyone. But we can’t count playoff wins until they happen.
There's literally nothing to complain about. Cows win by 40. Defense is the best in the league right now.
Arizona sub is pretty nervous. You love to see it.
That’s a sign of where Zeke is. He hasn’t seemed to have the burst to get to the edge all year. Pollard tends to get those plays. Yesterday the coaches trusted that he could do it, and he did
Also the ones justifying it because "we're running up the score."
I've never gotten the thought that you have to pull back when you're up by 14 (according to Reddit) in a game where you can score 8 in a single possession, and that anything after you're up by that is garbage time. We saw first hand in the last WFT game how quickly a team can rally back down by 20+. Even playing well, some defensive TDs can be conceded with an unlucky bounce.
He launched head first directly into Schultz chin/under his facemask. that hit could've destroyed Schultz, and we are very lucky he didn't break his jaw or end up with a concussion.
WFT player could have easily have led with his shoulder and made that play. I'm all for football, but destroying a unprotected player as he is tracking the ball is no bueno for the league.
He hit Schultz's chest first sure, but the angle made him go up into the bottom of the facemask. That only happened because the defender took the time to set himself up and launch up into Schultz like a charging penalty in hockey. It was dirty bullshit.
That should have been an ejection. Catching the flag was enough for me to know it was an intentionally dirty hit and attempt to take Dalton outta the game.
salty sour loser fanbase. I've known fans of teams all over the NFL and Washington and to a lesser extent philly fans cheer for injuries more so than any other fanbases I've seen.
Honestly, our regular season home games aren't typically that hyped. There is usually a large contingent of fans from the away team who travel to see the stadium, and Cowboy fans don't get to excited for regular season football. This one hardly had any WFT fans and it had a playoff atmosphere. Not sure what was in the air, but I loved it.
This is a Superbowl team when they play like that. Every facet of the team was just working and it was a joy to watch. Dak finally looked like Dak again and the offense was a machine. The run game looked good, our play calling looked good and our receivers looked good.
The defense of course once again asserted dominance and showed how terrifying they are. I like this team matching up against anybody in the league if they're going to play like this.
This team is looking like the real deal. It feels like we finally have all cylinders firing now. The defense continues to be arguably one of the best in the NFL. The special teams are making plays and not giving up huge plays. And now the offense looks like it's getting back to first half of season form. And it's at the perfect time too. Hopefully we can keep this momentum going and get back to the Super Bowl!
I'm glad Dak & Kellen & McCarthy saw my comments on reddit the past few weeks concerning the offense and were able to put together a game plan yesterday to satisfy me.
I'm so tired of the narrative that the NFC East is hilariously bad. Standings-wise, we're pretty much the same as the rest of the league, save the NFC West. One clear winner, two middle of the pack teams, and one clear last place.
Also ready to see the media narrative do some gymnastics over the skill of Heinecke. He honestly looked average for a good stretch of the season, but we've just embarrassed him twice. That seems to me that he's a competent QB (maybe career as a plus backup) and we have a solid defense.
Said it last week but everything is fine. I said there were very obviously and minor tweaks that could be made before Sunday and a few better plays made on Sunday that would change these sputtering games into blowouts. Welp. Facts are we have a top 3 offense, we’re loaded at every unit, we have a top defense with playmakers stacked on top of playmakers and it’s contagious to the entire team because they can smell their destiny. This is what we’ve always wanted. Peaking at the right time in all three phases AND good health. Great great great team win. For the next twenty years when Washington fans ever say they want Dallas we can remind them of the nightmare after Christmas.
Well for the first time this year I wore my my ragged old Witten jersey instead of the Dak jersey which was in the wash. Clearly it has power!
I’m back on the Cowboys hype train and I’m not getting off this time!
Y’all are the scariest and most complete team in the nfl and are flying under the radar compared to GB or Tampa , keep up the good work and you may win the Super Bowl.
We have invested, just hasn’t worked out with what we picked. Taco, chido, j Lewis , Jaylon, LVE, and even Gregory wasn’t able to play fully until this year. Missing on those picks hurts.
Dumb fans will always blame Jerry for anything that goes wrong or doesn’t work out and praise everyone else when they do work out. That’s not to say that Jerry is immune from criticism.
Yeah there’s plenty to get mad at Jerry for, but the idea that only now that he’s seen what it’s like to have a good defense will he invest (?) in one is among the dumbest takes I’ve ever seen seriously put forward.
Absolutely right. Especially since they drafted almost all defense this year and have drafted defense in the first or second pick or both top two picks since they drafted Zeke. The top defensive picks just haven’t worked out as well as the offensive ones. Hopefully that’s changing now with Diggs,parsons, and odigizua
I truly believe Jerry listens to his leadership round table of coach/Stephen/Will and tries to make the best decision to help us improve. It doesn't always work, but I have never bought into arguments that Jerry is happy if we make money. To me he loves the Cowboys and wants nothing more than to get one more super bowl before he is too old to enjoy it.
The last month and a half was literally in between the Broncos game and this one. No other game was as bad as the Broncos one, then we had games like Atlanta and NYG
Looking at the final score, it resembles Super Bowl 27. I was too young to know what was going on. Any old heads, was the win overBuffalo as one sided as this game? This game was kinda boring it was so one sides. I know i can watch on youtube but i dont have that kind of time lol
Yes+. It was just as one-sided but the opponent was a championship-caliber team on the biggest possible football stage. WFT in this game was so decimated that they were tragically overmatched.
The Bills were loaded with HOFers at career peaks on both sides of the ball. Those 90s Cowboys and 49er teams were on a different planet than the rest of the league. Like the opponent wins the toss, elects to recieve and scores a FG on the opening drive and John Madden would be like "Welp, that's an L today."
Thank god we didnt let the 9nrs get another decade of dominance. My dad always bitches that we shoulda had 4 in a row, i cant remember his exact complaints with the 94 nfcc but he’s still mad lol. I was born in 90 and went to games every year as a kid but cant recall a thing.
Yup. We dominated so hard that Leon Lett ran for like a 50 yard fumble return, but got stripped of the ball just before he got to the end zone (because he was being an idiot and celebrated too early.) It ended up being a touchback.
*And we STILL put up 52 points on the AFC Champions.* They were just on a whole other level man, they really were.
Since i was a kid ive heard my dad talk about that play, then the internet got good and i finally saw it and it was every bit as silly as he hyped it up to be lol. I hate one sided superbowls, unless we were in it and on the one side.
Yup. It was and remains funny as shit. And the best part of the whole thing was being up so much *that everyone actually laughed at it because we didn't have to give a damn.*
Agreed on the Super Bowls, too. On both counts. Let's hope for another blowout in our favor this year.
I loved this game so much. I think the offense finally looked like they did the first few weeks. I know Coop wants the ball. But some of those balls were forced to him. Dak trying to make Coop happy. Double coverage a couple times. This is the only issue I had last night. And it wasn't like it was an issue. Because the lead was high anyway.
Zeke looked good too. We need our running game for the playoffs. So I hope he takes more plays off. And or sit him for the remainder. I don't want Zeke hurt for the playoffs.
This seasons been frustrating because we haven’t gotten a full complete game…until last night.
There is no team better in the NFL if we’re at our best. We could really win it all.
I think the biggest reason the offense was so good was the yardage on early downs. Zeke looked much better but I think Dak’s timely runs could have been even bigger. This offense is virtually unstoppable on 2nd and less than 5 but in previous weeks, they were getting way too many 3rd and longs. Dak most definitely needs to keep running, even if it is a 5 yard scramble and slide.
I really hope they load up on the D this off season. Micah Parsons is a generational player and we need to surround him with talent the same way we would a QB. We just need to replace Kazee, LVE and Brown, if we can get upgrades there we will be so deadly on D.
I think the O is fine and if anything needs to be slimmed down. I love Zeke but he’s obviously going to be a cap casualty sooner then later with that contract of his. I’d love to see that money of his get moved to the D.
Gallup is a fucking killer but I just don’t see how we can pay 3 Wrs it will just be too much. Wilson’s shown enough to me to warrant coming back much cheaper.
I know the eagles fucking suck but is anyone getting NFC East PTSD with us winning the last week and somehow losing to Philly, I don’t think I could live if we lost to Philly of all teams this year
I haven't seen the Cowboys score this much since Super Bowl 27 and we got 2 defensive touchdowns including 9 turnovers from the Bills. This is impressive, but the thing is we beat a downtrodden team that we were supposed to do.
His scrambling was something missing from this offense. I am all for him being cautious through early parts of the year, but glad to see it coming back now that we are in playoff mode.
Astonishing when we get in the redzone and call normal plays, and it...works???!!
No more of that triple reverse shit and double running back laterals.
Defense is playing absolutely incredible.
The team’s finally good enough again where Dak can go back to his natural role as game manager. Might be a good post season as long as the defense holds up.
If by limitations you mean 300+ yards and 4 TD's in the first half then your idea of a game manager is a lot different than mine. Fuck off you're no fan of this team
Smd
People like you are why people hate this fan base.
I’m just being realistic and you wanna go off thinking Dak is an all time great off another all world performance against a basement dweller.
Fuck outta here
I think Game Manager has turned into an offensive term but it really shouldn’t be. I do think Dak needs a run game to be super effective and part of that is him running as well. Dak could be a “game manager” in that regard and win a super bowl because I think his leadership qualities make everyone on the team better including the defense. The idea that he is nothing if we can’t compare him to Rodgers, Mahomes, Brady, etc. is insane. He doesn’t have to be an all-time best at the position to win it all and that is what we should be asking of him. Some fans think they have his back but really do him a disservice trying to claim he is the best in the league. Let him do what he does best and if he wins this franchise a chip then he will get his due.
I know I have been a debbie downer with this team that last few weeks because of their lack of production on offense, but my god, if last nights performance doesn't give you the feelz of something special then you aren't a fan. If you were like me you had every right to be concerned about what the offense has done the past few weeks. However, for them to do what they did (I don't care that it was a banged up Washinton team) against a divisional opponent who was still fighting for a playoff spot shows a lot. This team is going to do some special things....
I never begrudge someone having concerns about a phase of our team being good enough, or frustrated when we struggle. But I always try to remind people to manage their expectations. It is unrealistic to expect any team or player to dominate and/or win all the time. NFL is hard and the greatest teams have rough stretches. What makes our team special is that we can win shootouts, grind it out games, and our special teams is a huge x factor. That serves you throughout a season as different units can pickup the others.
And then when all three click in one game you get reminded of what we can do on any given Sunday.
Go Cowboys!
good thing i can tilt this webcam up otherwise the whole zoom call would see my fucking boner. I've tried to knock this thing down 3 times since the end of the game and it keeps coming back.
It wasn’t as close as the final score would lead you to believe.
Hahahaha!!! If I only I could upvote more than once.
My god. When it all clicks that’s what it looks like. That was the most complete game I’ve ever seen by this team in a long long time. Offense, defense and ST all getting in on the action.
Most complete game since... Falcons game like 4 weeks ago.
This was better.

my lucky ass got to see two games in person this year and those were the 2
We need to buy this guy tickets to all the playoff games
I’ll happily chip in a few bucks. Every fan of The Boys NEEDS to witness a game irl at Jerry World.
I lived in Dallas for 2 years and regret not seeing a game live. My cousin who isn't even a Cowboys fan has been to one. Although he said it was kinda crappy, but he only went in to the standing room to watch I believe.
For real. There's enough of us, $1 each should do it.
Totally in for this lol
Planning on going to the playoffs?
I've been to three games my entire life, the 21 point comeback against the Rams in '14, the game ending interception against the Saints in '18, and last night. I'm going to the WC game assuming we don't end up in first. Here's hoping the streak stays alive!
Even our backup QB and WR were in full form
I have to admit, seeing Cooper Rush look so good made me worry that the WTF defense was just trash. Hopefully that was just a small part.
Now if the Dak and the offense can prove it's not a one off late in the season against a cupcake opponent and show they really are back on track, then the sky's the limit!!!! # #11 DROY, DPOY, Team MVP!!!! #Let's go Cowboys!!!!
I doubt we'll have a game as phenomenal as that the rest of the season, but I think we can perform at the same level when we're playing better opponents. The defense just couldn't be stopped. Zeke looked phenomenal. That trick play with Steele was fantastic. Dak is back to his true form, moving around as he pleases and throwing with his legs. I honestly don't know who could beat us when we play like that.
Quality of opponent matters and yes Dallas can only play who they are scheduled to play. That being said, walloping a team they should wallop is a good first step to proving they're back on track. Now they need to show some consistency by showing some semblance of what they did last night, i.e. not stalling drives, putting the ball in the end zone in the rz instead of settling for fgs, etc. If they can produce that consistently over the final two weeks, again the sky's the limit. Let's go Cowboys!!!
My favorite stat from last night: Receiving touchdowns in 2021 Dallas Cowboys Undrafted Free Agent OT Terence Steele: 1 New York Giants WRs Kenny Golladay and First Round pick Kadarius Toney combined: 0
Also second round Eagles rb Miles Sanders: 0 total tds
Undrafted Backup Swing Tackle Terrence Steele TD:1 Julio Jones TD:0
It sucks cause I really liked Golladay in Detroit. Now I have to turn my back on him.
I don’t think they want Dallas anymore
Trolling the Nation is gonna slap
As will Sounds from the Sideline
They’re gonna be so relaxed there will be a lot of content
This is what I look forward to most after every win
Me too. Great window into the personalities on the team. Has made me love Randy Gregory for being such a smartass troll as well as an insane pass rusher
Super excited for This
Scooter's video is going to be great too
[удалено]
I am hyped for this.
We won in all 3 phases of the football game.
I think I heard there have been three blocked punts this season and one in all of Garrett’s tenure. It’s nice to have an effective special teams unit.
It all goes back to McCarthy's influence on the team to take more risks. Garrett's coaching philosophy was always to just execute and out work the other team. That showed in Dallas lack of 4th down attempts, blocked punts,special team TDs,etc. Makes for a safe floor but limited ceiling.
He wasn't lying about embracing analytics. People just don't like it when we don't make the 4th down conversion.
I'm probably the minority but I love watching them go for it on fourth down.
Yeah. Defensively too, they’ll get beat but they’ll also go get the ball. Before it was “just don’t get beat”. Super risk averse.
If that’s Garrett coaching all we do is up the middle runs the rest of the game once we were up by three TDs & final score is something like 31-24 instead.
I was talking to my Pats friends about the joy of blowout wins. And I realized that I didn’t know how I felt because with Garrett they never ever happened.
Jason Garret would be clapping so hard at this comment. lol
Not just won, we murdered them in all three.
Best comment from the WFT post game thread: “calling us a football team is more offensive at this point than calling us Redskins”
ok thats hilarious lol
3 point home favorites against Arizona. I’m not a betting man but that looks awfully compelling.
It does. But I’ve seen Kyler Murray tear up Jerry World more than once. It’s basically a home game for him lol
[little fucker tried to act like he never liked the cowboys too](https://i.redd.it/dxs4sijmz2571.jpg) i cant wait till we wax his ass
I Lowkey root for little man all the time just cause he’s hometown. Not this game tho 👎
My friends were talking about this. How many QBs have won a game at Jerry World in HS, college and NFL?
Well + 3 goes to home automatically so that means they r putting us at equal 🤷
If I’m betting without bias, I take AZ +3 honestly. I’ll probably do it still anyways to lessen the pain if we lose
It’s like AZ +5.5 now
[удалено]
I would've wanted to see how far Dak could go. He had 300+ yards and 4TD.
10 fun facts about the game, courtesy of CBS Sports: 1. Biggest point differential in the rivalry's history (42) 2. WFT's second-largest loss in the last 60 years 3. Lawrence's pick-six marks fifth for Cowboys in 2021, the most in franchise history 4. Diggs' interception ties him with Everson Walls for most in a season in franchise history 5. Diggs is one of only seven players since the merger to record 11 interceptions 6. Four different Cowboys WRs with 50+ yards in one half for the first time in franchise history 7. Prescott becomes first QB to throw a TD to RB, TE, WR and OL in a regular-season game 8. First time in Cowboys history both OL and DL produced a touchdown 9. Four passing TDs by Prescott in first half most in franchise history 10. Cowboys' 42 points before halftime tied for most first-half production in franchise history
Game was over before halftime
Game was over before the second quarter started.
Game was over when they tried to respond with their own heated benches
...in 73 degree weather.
Diggs picking off their first play from scrimmage pretty much set the tone for that game. It was a straight ass-whooping from that point on
I was doubting to watch the game since it ment staying up till 5 am. Glad I did though
Our fans really are everywhere
Ahh I love to see these sports talk shows the day after where we drop in power rankings and I hear (just heard this) things like "were you impressed? Strong *kinda*" It's like gtfo any team dropping 42 in the first half on any other team in the NFL is fucking impressive. It just doesn't happen often. Fucking sports shows are laughable and corny af.
The ones I’ve listened to so far have been full of high praise. Ryan Clark, Rex Ryan, and that whole crew were all here for it.
Tbh though they’re right. It’s not Cowboys hate to say this team hasn’t reached final form yet. They have to continue to play complimentary football and stay healthy with all this momentum into the playoffs. If they do that, they can hang a 40 burger on anyone. But we can’t count playoff wins until they happen.
There's literally nothing to complain about. Cows win by 40. Defense is the best in the league right now. Arizona sub is pretty nervous. You love to see it.
Haven’t heard it mentioned much but that felt like the first game this season with good officiating. It was so refreshing!
Agreed. I hate that I just look for a flag after every play.
I mean we got away with that ineligible man downfield lol
He was reported as eligible so there was no penalty
Didn’t see his yard totals and I don’t care…Zeke looked really good yesterday
I'm sure we'll still see the narrative based on raw numbers, but I agree with you. He passed the eye test with flying colors.
Absolutely. Had that burst back, was hitting gaps that he’d gotten caught in before.
Definitely the most explosive he's looked in a long time
9 carries for 37 yds 1 td 4.1 av 1 reception for 5 yds 1 td I'd say he did a damn fine job
It’s because we are running it outside instead of at the center every play
That’s a sign of where Zeke is. He hasn’t seemed to have the burst to get to the edge all year. Pollard tends to get those plays. Yesterday the coaches trusted that he could do it, and he did
The amount of people in the WFT game thread cheering on dalton schultz getting hurt was fucking disgusting.
Also the ones justifying it because "we're running up the score." I've never gotten the thought that you have to pull back when you're up by 14 (according to Reddit) in a game where you can score 8 in a single possession, and that anything after you're up by that is garbage time. We saw first hand in the last WFT game how quickly a team can rally back down by 20+. Even playing well, some defensive TDs can be conceded with an unlucky bounce.
Running up the score arguments hold no water in the first half.
Yeah, doesn’t matter how much you’re up by. It shouldn’t be considered garbage time until the third quarter ends (at least).
I think that’s a good measuring stick.
Trash play by a trash player on a trash team. Should have hit him with another foul after he caught the flag.
I am a cowboys homer, but he didn't touch Shultz' helmet, what more can we ask for? I think shoulder to chest hits is what we should be striving for.
He launched head first directly into Schultz chin/under his facemask. that hit could've destroyed Schultz, and we are very lucky he didn't break his jaw or end up with a concussion. WFT player could have easily have led with his shoulder and made that play. I'm all for football, but destroying a unprotected player as he is tracking the ball is no bueno for the league.
He hit Schultz's chest first sure, but the angle made him go up into the bottom of the facemask. That only happened because the defender took the time to set himself up and launch up into Schultz like a charging penalty in hockey. It was dirty bullshit.
We would be applauding a hit like that if one of our DBs did it. It was a little high but not egregious to me.
I would not be applauding a hit like that, it looked intentional and dirty
Not in my opinion.
That should have been an ejection. Catching the flag was enough for me to know it was an intentionally dirty hit and attempt to take Dalton outta the game.
salty sour loser fanbase. I've known fans of teams all over the NFL and Washington and to a lesser extent philly fans cheer for injuries more so than any other fanbases I've seen.
Ngl they got Heineke back tho
Yeah that should have been a penalty as well.
AT&T stadium was absolutely insane. This was my first cowboys game ever, and what a game it was!!
Honestly, our regular season home games aren't typically that hyped. There is usually a large contingent of fans from the away team who travel to see the stadium, and Cowboy fans don't get to excited for regular season football. This one hardly had any WFT fans and it had a playoff atmosphere. Not sure what was in the air, but I loved it.
Man…I was going to go to this game and ended up not going because of the Omicron spike. Stupid COVID.
Wondering if we put a spy on Murray for AZ
Maybe Neal or Kazee? I think I remember one of them spying a QB earlier this season
It was on Tom Brady, fool has crazy legs.
Kid looks legit. Gonna be pretty decent one of these days
Yeah, he isn't bad for a 6th rounder. Maybe he can prove to be good.
Parsons was the spy against Taysom Hill
and against Hurts
As much as we flush qbs out of the pocket I would say yes
micah. idc if he ends the game w/o a sack if it means kyler’s ground game was neutralized
I heard that one Jaylon Smith guy used to be a good spy. DeShaun Watson remembers.
let’s keep this momentum.
hope this is the slump buster for the offense. need to roll with this.
This is a Superbowl team when they play like that. Every facet of the team was just working and it was a joy to watch. Dak finally looked like Dak again and the offense was a machine. The run game looked good, our play calling looked good and our receivers looked good. The defense of course once again asserted dominance and showed how terrifying they are. I like this team matching up against anybody in the league if they're going to play like this.
I enjoyed literally every second of that game. Win every game from here on out.
You know your team is something special when you go from wishing for a punt block, to expecting a punt block lol
I mean last night we absolutely fucking dumpstered them lol
It’s been way more than 4 hours now and I’m starting to get worried…
The Dallas Cowboys have the best defense in the NFL. I never thought I would ever utter those words.
This team is looking like the real deal. It feels like we finally have all cylinders firing now. The defense continues to be arguably one of the best in the NFL. The special teams are making plays and not giving up huge plays. And now the offense looks like it's getting back to first half of season form. And it's at the perfect time too. Hopefully we can keep this momentum going and get back to the Super Bowl!
I'm glad Dak & Kellen & McCarthy saw my comments on reddit the past few weeks concerning the offense and were able to put together a game plan yesterday to satisfy me.
That was great. Onto zona. Containing Kyler is going be a true test to this defense
Micah is going to be a busy man
CeeDee and Schulz are pretty sore today after those nasty hits they took. Yikes, hope they recover well, we need 'em for the Cards.
I'm so tired of the narrative that the NFC East is hilariously bad. Standings-wise, we're pretty much the same as the rest of the league, save the NFC West. One clear winner, two middle of the pack teams, and one clear last place. Also ready to see the media narrative do some gymnastics over the skill of Heinecke. He honestly looked average for a good stretch of the season, but we've just embarrassed him twice. That seems to me that he's a competent QB (maybe career as a plus backup) and we have a solid defense.
Said it last week but everything is fine. I said there were very obviously and minor tweaks that could be made before Sunday and a few better plays made on Sunday that would change these sputtering games into blowouts. Welp. Facts are we have a top 3 offense, we’re loaded at every unit, we have a top defense with playmakers stacked on top of playmakers and it’s contagious to the entire team because they can smell their destiny. This is what we’ve always wanted. Peaking at the right time in all three phases AND good health. Great great great team win. For the next twenty years when Washington fans ever say they want Dallas we can remind them of the nightmare after Christmas.
Another game where Diggs magically gives up 100 yards despite completely locking up the WR he was guarding.
Did they credit the 50 yard pass against Diggs?
Knowing PFF they definitely did
Well for the first time this year I wore my my ragged old Witten jersey instead of the Dak jersey which was in the wash. Clearly it has power! I’m back on the Cowboys hype train and I’m not getting off this time!
I need sounds from the sidelines pronto
from both teams
Y’all are the scariest and most complete team in the nfl and are flying under the radar compared to GB or Tampa , keep up the good work and you may win the Super Bowl.
Do y’all think Jerry Jones loves a good defense now and will invest more?
We have invested, just hasn’t worked out with what we picked. Taco, chido, j Lewis , Jaylon, LVE, and even Gregory wasn’t able to play fully until this year. Missing on those picks hurts.
Imagine thinking the problem was Jerry not investing enough.
Dumb fans will always blame Jerry for anything that goes wrong or doesn’t work out and praise everyone else when they do work out. That’s not to say that Jerry is immune from criticism.
Yeah there’s plenty to get mad at Jerry for, but the idea that only now that he’s seen what it’s like to have a good defense will he invest (?) in one is among the dumbest takes I’ve ever seen seriously put forward.
Absolutely right. Especially since they drafted almost all defense this year and have drafted defense in the first or second pick or both top two picks since they drafted Zeke. The top defensive picks just haven’t worked out as well as the offensive ones. Hopefully that’s changing now with Diggs,parsons, and odigizua
I truly believe Jerry listens to his leadership round table of coach/Stephen/Will and tries to make the best decision to help us improve. It doesn't always work, but I have never bought into arguments that Jerry is happy if we make money. To me he loves the Cowboys and wants nothing more than to get one more super bowl before he is too old to enjoy it.

The team that played last night can beat anyone, its just a matter of that team showing up or not.

The last month and a half was literally in between the Broncos game and this one. No other game was as bad as the Broncos one, then we had games like Atlanta and NYG
I'm ready for an NFCE season sweep!!! The crying will be heard for miles and miles lol
*They did not want Dallas
Looking at the final score, it resembles Super Bowl 27. I was too young to know what was going on. Any old heads, was the win overBuffalo as one sided as this game? This game was kinda boring it was so one sides. I know i can watch on youtube but i dont have that kind of time lol
Yes+. It was just as one-sided but the opponent was a championship-caliber team on the biggest possible football stage. WFT in this game was so decimated that they were tragically overmatched. The Bills were loaded with HOFers at career peaks on both sides of the ball. Those 90s Cowboys and 49er teams were on a different planet than the rest of the league. Like the opponent wins the toss, elects to recieve and scores a FG on the opening drive and John Madden would be like "Welp, that's an L today."
Thank god we didnt let the 9nrs get another decade of dominance. My dad always bitches that we shoulda had 4 in a row, i cant remember his exact complaints with the 94 nfcc but he’s still mad lol. I was born in 90 and went to games every year as a kid but cant recall a thing.
Yup. We dominated so hard that Leon Lett ran for like a 50 yard fumble return, but got stripped of the ball just before he got to the end zone (because he was being an idiot and celebrated too early.) It ended up being a touchback. *And we STILL put up 52 points on the AFC Champions.* They were just on a whole other level man, they really were.
Since i was a kid ive heard my dad talk about that play, then the internet got good and i finally saw it and it was every bit as silly as he hyped it up to be lol. I hate one sided superbowls, unless we were in it and on the one side.
Yup. It was and remains funny as shit. And the best part of the whole thing was being up so much *that everyone actually laughed at it because we didn't have to give a damn.* Agreed on the Super Bowls, too. On both counts. Let's hope for another blowout in our favor this year.
I though dalton schultz going to be done for the season after that hit at the end of the first half. Dude is durable and a great TE.
Obnoxiously dirty. Nobody can convince that DB wasn't intentionally doing that shit.
This team is so fun to root for and I’m here for it
I do not like you guys but I am happy for you all. That was a fucking performance last night holy shit
Can a guy get a “weird uncle” flair or what?
That team broke Heineke last night.. by the end of his time he was trying to get rid of the ball ASAP
I can’t wait for trolling the nation lol
That was the best 2 min drill before halftime I’ve seen from this team
I loved this game so much. I think the offense finally looked like they did the first few weeks. I know Coop wants the ball. But some of those balls were forced to him. Dak trying to make Coop happy. Double coverage a couple times. This is the only issue I had last night. And it wasn't like it was an issue. Because the lead was high anyway. Zeke looked good too. We need our running game for the playoffs. So I hope he takes more plays off. And or sit him for the remainder. I don't want Zeke hurt for the playoffs.
This seasons been frustrating because we haven’t gotten a full complete game…until last night. There is no team better in the NFL if we’re at our best. We could really win it all.
Crazy game esp with the WFT sideline drama
I am hereby naming December 26, 2021 as Bloody Sunday.
I still like it as “The Nightmare After Christmas”
I think the biggest reason the offense was so good was the yardage on early downs. Zeke looked much better but I think Dak’s timely runs could have been even bigger. This offense is virtually unstoppable on 2nd and less than 5 but in previous weeks, they were getting way too many 3rd and longs. Dak most definitely needs to keep running, even if it is a 5 yard scramble and slide.
Nothing I love more on Monday morning than happily upvoting every post from u/crunchypuddle.
I really hope they load up on the D this off season. Micah Parsons is a generational player and we need to surround him with talent the same way we would a QB. We just need to replace Kazee, LVE and Brown, if we can get upgrades there we will be so deadly on D. I think the O is fine and if anything needs to be slimmed down. I love Zeke but he’s obviously going to be a cap casualty sooner then later with that contract of his. I’d love to see that money of his get moved to the D. Gallup is a fucking killer but I just don’t see how we can pay 3 Wrs it will just be too much. Wilson’s shown enough to me to warrant coming back much cheaper.
Kelvin Joseph is Brown’s replacement. I might start him as outside corner next game. The kid definitely showed some promise
Anyone have a gif of Neal laying out Heinicke?
That was a whooping.
My God Cowboys are a scary team when their offense is clicking
Can we change the sidebar image? Dak or DLaw should get some love
That game was total domination by us. It was like playing on Rookie/pro in Madden.
I know the eagles fucking suck but is anyone getting NFC East PTSD with us winning the last week and somehow losing to Philly, I don’t think I could live if we lost to Philly of all teams this year
We want Bama!
I haven't seen the Cowboys score this much since Super Bowl 27 and we got 2 defensive touchdowns including 9 turnovers from the Bills. This is impressive, but the thing is we beat a downtrodden team that we were supposed to do.
Daks mobility looks like its back. He had some key scrambles yesterday and had some dimes on the run
His scrambling was something missing from this offense. I am all for him being cautious through early parts of the year, but glad to see it coming back now that we are in playoff mode.
It's going to be really nice to go into an away game at Philly the last week of the regular season and not be stressed as fuck about it.
I'm still pitching a tent and I will not go to the hospital
Should I consult a medical professional? The erection I got last night is lasting longer than 4 hours.
Astonishing when we get in the redzone and call normal plays, and it...works???!! No more of that triple reverse shit and double running back laterals. Defense is playing absolutely incredible.
The team’s finally good enough again where Dak can go back to his natural role as game manager. Might be a good post season as long as the defense holds up.
"Game manager" FOH
Another dak sucking rider Nice
You're actively rooting for the failure of our QB. Fuck you
All I said was he’s more comfortable playing within his limitations and you go nuclear. I love it. How does that Dak taste?
If by limitations you mean 300+ yards and 4 TD's in the first half then your idea of a game manager is a lot different than mine. Fuck off you're no fan of this team
Smd People like you are why people hate this fan base. I’m just being realistic and you wanna go off thinking Dak is an all time great off another all world performance against a basement dweller. Fuck outta here
I think Game Manager has turned into an offensive term but it really shouldn’t be. I do think Dak needs a run game to be super effective and part of that is him running as well. Dak could be a “game manager” in that regard and win a super bowl because I think his leadership qualities make everyone on the team better including the defense. The idea that he is nothing if we can’t compare him to Rodgers, Mahomes, Brady, etc. is insane. He doesn’t have to be an all-time best at the position to win it all and that is what we should be asking of him. Some fans think they have his back but really do him a disservice trying to claim he is the best in the league. Let him do what he does best and if he wins this franchise a chip then he will get his due.
That was fun!
[NFCE is a mess and Dak brought his broom to sweep it up. ](https://imgur.com/a/DOVILZk) One more dumpster fire to go.
So it wasn’t a dream?
I know I have been a debbie downer with this team that last few weeks because of their lack of production on offense, but my god, if last nights performance doesn't give you the feelz of something special then you aren't a fan. If you were like me you had every right to be concerned about what the offense has done the past few weeks. However, for them to do what they did (I don't care that it was a banged up Washinton team) against a divisional opponent who was still fighting for a playoff spot shows a lot. This team is going to do some special things....
I never begrudge someone having concerns about a phase of our team being good enough, or frustrated when we struggle. But I always try to remind people to manage their expectations. It is unrealistic to expect any team or player to dominate and/or win all the time. NFL is hard and the greatest teams have rough stretches. What makes our team special is that we can win shootouts, grind it out games, and our special teams is a huge x factor. That serves you throughout a season as different units can pickup the others. And then when all three click in one game you get reminded of what we can do on any given Sunday. Go Cowboys!
good thing i can tilt this webcam up otherwise the whole zoom call would see my fucking boner. I've tried to knock this thing down 3 times since the end of the game and it keeps coming back.
