Yeah, and the won then ALL! 

Okay..? You’re stating the obvious, Dave. You were losing your absolute mind before the game even ended.. and Dallas won. So how is this different than what Philly has done? Mind you.. they should have lost their last two close games if wide open game winning touchdown opportunities weren’t laughably choked away.

Even if we beat Philli, they have all the breakers assuming it’s 14-3, no? 5-1 division. Then the common opponents. We both lose to SF let’s say. We lose to Zona but Philli loses to NYJ, so they win based on Conf Record.

But the idea of us winning out is preposterous.

What we have done is secure the AFC South winner at the very least, and that is huge.

Good win. Wasn’t a blowout for once. It was bound to be close eventually, and the team responded well. Lot of football in a short amount of time, and now you have 10 days to rest up with Philly. Not bad.

The defense wasn’t prepared at all tonight. They were too busy basking in their press clippings all week. If Dak and CeeDee weren’t in such incredible sync, this would’ve been a bad, bad game. Let’s give Dak the credit he’s due. He was sensational for most of this game and really only missed one throw.

Jerry won on the extension. He paid a guy that wins a lot of meaningless games that keeps the Cowboys in prime time every year. And he even gets the flight ticket scanner pregnant with a successful daughter, while keeping his marriage in tact. Just sit back and admire the brilliance folks.

Philly wasn't up 10 points and allowed a come back.

Dallas had this team on the ropes early and by halftime they pissed it away.

They made multiple stupid decisions that, had they done against better competition, they would have lost.

They had the officals on the payroll, no doubt. PI on Lamb??? The defender never touched him.

5 first downs on 1 drive due to penalties against Seattle with the game in the balance???

Thats a frickin disgrace.

Not to mention multiple penalties against us in bush league fashion. Defensive offside multiple times??? That's preseason stuff, not the mark of a team 5 weeks from the playoffs.

Sorry, just what a championship team doesn't do.

You have to be a closet Eagles fan. This is a laughably one sided, biased take. If you think Philly has been putting together four quarters of solid, mistake free football in their close wins you aren’t watching. You do realize that this is the team that got taken to OT by Washington, right? Stop with the double standards.

Not to mention Dallas obviously were hurt by penalties in this past matchup, too. It was an evenly called game.

Not every game is going to a blowout. Seattle had a ton to play for - credit them for a stellar effort. It’s only realistic that good teams have to deal with adversity during a football game and during a season. I’m glad the team handles it much better than you. There was a lot to like from this past game despite the uncharacteristically poor performance from the defense.. but keep in mind they closed the game out with a strong stand.

Your team is 9-3 and looks as strong as any in the NFC. Try and at least be a little happy about that. Calling it a disgrace is outrageous.

Every team puts up a stinker at some point during the season. Great teams learn how to overcome the blunders and find ways to win. Some wins can be very humbling, and I expect this will be one of them.

It definitely wasn’t a great game. We made far too many mistakes on defense to call it that. The offense looked great. McCarthy made (what I considered) a very stupid decision on that 3rd and 3 call late in the game, but the offense as a whole was very good. The defense was a steaming pile of dog ish for most of the game.
