Cool article on Aubrey

I remember back when I criticized the Cowboys for signing a relative unknown after what Maher did last year down the stretch (shanking kicks). Boy, was I ever wrong about this guy. He's been awesome.

Yep, I was shaking my head at the time too. And like @STEADYMOBBIN 22 , I’ll be holding my breath when a game is on the line in the postseason. PTSD is right lol
 
Terrance Steel (RT) was also money vs the the last team we played. He’s getting back to his ragdolling DEs.

I’d argue that right now we have a top 3 offensive line.

Looking ahead, Asim Richards will be yet another monster for us in the coming years.
 
Just when you think they’ve turned the corner they do this. They thought they arrived and were just going to show up and get a win.

A lot of blame to go around but it starts with the coaching on both sides of the ball. Quinn for not making any adjustments. McCarthy for not being creative. It seemed like the Bills knew our plays.

Ugly game.
 
Gonna be a lot of ugly criticism for Dallas, but this was a perfect trap game for them...and a reminder that the league really can be week to week. Bad beats happen to almost every team. Would be a mistake to read TOO MUCH into it. Dak is still in the MVP conversation and Dallas, while more likely a WC then division winner, is gonna be a tough out

Agreed but it’s hard not to be upset when it’s the same old thing.

Teams rarely commit to running on us but when they do, fat guys off the couch or backup RBs look HOF worthy.

It’s been this way forever. It’s really hard to take this team seriously.

If this team is going to change the narrative, it’s NFC title game or bust. They’ll beat the NFC south winner but then will have to travel to Philly or SF- and that bodes poorly, to say the least.

I envy you. I didn’t watch much of their first several games and I was better for it.

I think I might not watch again until the playoffs. (Except for the Skins game which I’ll be attending).

It’s not even the same game I grew up watching. Between that and the lousy penalties called or not (on both teams) it just isn’t as enjoyable.
 
When the Eagles beat AZ that will change the tie breaker to strength of schedule - which goes to Philly.

They control their fate.

"When"? I'm not sure that's a given at this point. But yes the Eagles are definitely still in the driver's seat given the respective schedules.
 
I don't care for the way the media portrayed Dallas on Monday Morning
Nobody is winning in Orchard Park in Dec/Jan
Dallas should have been motivated but they had a bad game, Buffalo was like a cornered animal trying to keep their Playoff hopes alive
Just like the Cowboys had a let down after many weeks where they racked up a lot of points and suddenly the media wants to kick Dallas and start asking dumb questions

"Can they be trusted?"
-What a stupid ****ing headline and it pisses me off because I have been as critical of this team over the years as almost anyone but I find myself feeling empathy right now for Dallas

-Yes, it happens to be South Beach week for Dallas
Welcome to South Beach and the Hard Rock
Merry Christmas from MoP

Big game on X-Mas Eve for Miami which continues to have many doubters despite being 1 of the top 4 NFL teams-Wins/Losses, Dallas is also in that group
Both of them sit as the 2-Seed in their Conferences, one of them will remain in the 2 spot or possibly climb up a notch to No 1 depending on outcomes.
Ravens are decent underdogs at San Fran on MNF, battles of the 1-Seeds so 1 of them is moving down and Miami-Dallas is poised to rise up to the No 1 seed

Lot to play for and I expect Dallas to be a lot more focused, doubt weather will be a factor in any way.
Looking forward to a big week and I'm likely to get the game threads launched on these 2 early vs later
 
If Dallas wins vs Washington and one of their other two games…and Philly loses any of their last 3, Dallas wins the division. That is an absolute must for them to do any damage in the playoffs….

Thanks for your outrage. No offense though, but I’ve been dealing with this for decades - it’s the Cowboys.

Best way to attention/ratings is bash the Cowboys, second best way is to love the Cowboys.

SAS has literally made a career of it.

Dallas is a good team with some short comings, just like many other teams. We as fans are not delusional about their chances.

This season, Dallas has beaten some decent teams
49-43-33-45-41 and a 33-13 thumping of Philly and most folks feel SF-PHI-DAL are the NFC best right now, maybe Detroit is also a stronger team.
Miami doesn't have a string of games that strong, a lot of these games have been point totals in the 20s.
Yeah they scored 70 on Denver in September, long time ago, Miami hit Washington for 45, doesn't everyone?
Looking forward to the match up of Miami D vs Dallas O, that to me is the game.
If Miami can keep Dallas under 20 then they have a good chance to win but they also need to play well on Defense against a better offense, think you all qualify as a strong offense

I don't think much of the Buffalo loss, good for the Bills, they needed/wanted that game.
Is Miami going to come out as fired up as Buffalo did?

-I think Dallas is having a great season and the media doesn't treat them the way they would other teams doing similar things.
I don't like the bias and it's obvious. If Dallas were to get beat this weekend, I still think they have a great shot for a deep run in the Playoffs.
No team is 13-1 right now, SF looks like they are the team to beat but they are 11-3, they are not unbeatable by any stretch.

-Can you all share what has happened with Pollard and the run game? Seems like the Dallas running game is overlooked a lot and it's all Dak Dak Dak on the coverage.
Being the Dallas QB has to be one of the toughest jobs in the NFL, scrutiny from all directions including ownership which made a move at the QB back up
Dak has to deal with a lot of things and he's shined over the last couple months, Sunday was not the norm IMO

Big changes were made after the SF game and the run/pass split moved heavier towards passing and passing for chunk plays.

It was obvious that Pollard was not really a bell cow type of back as I predicted before the season started.

As well, our Oline was vastly over rated by the fans/media. They are very good in pass pro, but barely above average blocking in the run game. The holes really were not there early on.

Is this the unhealthilyist OL in the last 20 years or am I just not noticing other teams with like 12 different starters every year.

Miami's only saving grace from losing all 3 starting IOL is that the back ups have been solid and when they have time to take reps all week vs coming in cold during the game, big difference in how we look on Sundays. I think Miami has to have both their starting Tackles to have a legit shot at winning Sunday so they can throw down field for the chunk plays, that's what really moves this offense.

We are going to miss him vs Miami. Raheem Mostert might break the single game rushing record vs us.

We’ll see. I’m expecting a big bounce back for our Offense this week. Hopefully we can get out to a lead.
And the defense better have an attitude after last week
 
There is no realistic scenario where this team wins a meaningful road game as constructed. Draft appears a complete disaster this year.
 
Year #3- same spot.
We are good enough to be a playoff team.
Likely will beat TB in round 1.
Have to play Philly or SF on the road in round #2. Almost certainly will lose.

Short of an appearance in the NFC Title game, this team has failed.

We are year 8 into the Dak era.

We know he’s good, but not great.

Do we want to pay $350 million for good play, only to continually fall short?

I know football is a team game and there’s always shared responsibility here, but the truth is we are better off letting him walk, taking a QB flyer in round 1 or 2, and allocate the money elsewhere than more of the same. I know that position makes me unpopular here, but short a deep playoff run, we know what this team is- it could not be any more clear.
