Dink and dunk = 20 stinking hard-earned points. Last three games we've had a Wade Wilson offense - fairly good stats, few points.

This isn't Romo offense. Might as well have Brad Johnson in there and save a wad of cash.

Come on, coaching geniuses. Get the deep threat open and win games again by the end of the third quarter, because you obviously have the talent to do it because it was there most of the season. And don't tell me they're playing too deep now, cause they're on the short catches right away, too, and they can't be everywhere. Try flooding a zone 20 yards down the field instead of eight yards down or something, but get the ball deep regularly.

We're letting everybody hang around now. Just a matter of time. This isn't the game that got us here, and it isn't our best game. Better fix it before the playoffs.

Settle down 'Joe' from the post above...We ran the ball very well and controlled the clock. Our defense stepped up as well.

January and February will be good to the Cowboys. Go grab some popcorn and get ready for the fireworks!

Joe is ABSOLUTELY right on the money. Don't gimme this crap about how we ran the ball. We did so because it's what we COULD do. Not because we just wanted to run. Get back to blowing people out. We are winning...no complaining about that. But we all see that you have to be explosive to beat Indi or New England....and that's all that really matters.

Same reason people are upset about Roy Williams. It's not because we can't win most games with him. It's because you can't win the Super Bowl with him.
How do you beat Dallas? Deep over the middle....or have a good TE and split him out wide. Watch him eat Roy alive.

it looks like crayton, hurd & austin just don't have the speed/talent to stretch the defense. when t.o. left, i don't remember a deep ball attempt.

Cowboys are not going to show there hand. They're fatting frogs for snakes down the road. Get your popcorn ready
