So I take it the Cowboys lost. I didn't watch or listen to the game.
It was dismal. The feckless offense never managed a TD. Buffalo rope-a-doped us until they needed to put us away, and did so by driving 92 yards for the TD in the 4th qtr starting with about 6 minutes left. We'd dominated time of possession so the bullshit excuse of us "being winded because of the offense" went right out the window. We weren't winded, we just suck on D. It's not that evident to the casual observer because most games were close, but just like the '88 Cowboys - the games were close because the opponent allowed them to be.
Even Troy was trotting out that tired old canard of "this defense has kept Dallas in a lot of close games this year."
No, it hasn't. The opponent playing very conservatively on offense until they need to put us away, has.
