Not sold yet. Now if they make a run and the D turns the corner I'll be impressed.
Q Williams was definitely as advertised, dude completely dominated the game when he was in there.

First game. 4 tackles, one TFL, 1nd and 1/2 sacks, 5 QB knockdowns, 7 total QB pressures.

Really need to figure out a way to keep him long term, but if they can't sign him and have to franchise tag him, some WR desperate team is going to make a huge offer to trade for him.

Flournoy is pretty good. Needs to be getting most of the #3 WR reps now. All he does is make plays when out there.

Jones has never done much right post Jimmy, but whomever really pulled the trigger on trading for Pickens and Q Wiliams in same season was damn good.

The Raiders record is very bad, and they've had a few ugly losses (esp KC and Indy)

But the last two weeks they lost by 1pt in OT to 6-4 Jacksonville and 3 pts (10-7) at 8-2 Denver (who killed us). They had a 1pt loss v 7-3 Chicago (who killed us) They also beat 9-2 New England on the road to open the season.

Yeah yeah, it's only the fucking Raiders. I know.

But first time this season the Cowboys have held a team under 22 pts in a game, Raiders got 16.

Lowest total yards allowed in a game this yr- 236

Lowest rushing yards allowed in a game this year- 27

By far the best 3rd down conversion game- 3/12

Lowest yds per carry allowed in a game this yr- 2.3

4 Sacks. 1 pick. 1 Safety.

That said, these are the upcoming QBs- Hurts, Mahomes, Goff, McCarthy (not good so far), Herbert, Daniels (maybe, depends on injury status and Foreskins record probably) and then rookie Dart (maybe, again injury/concussion status and record might play a factor)

It was the Raiders....you've seen this before right? Where we beat up on bad teams and shit the bed with good ones?

I am happy we won the game last night . Pickens and Williams are both bonafide bad asses! I hope there is some way to keep Pickens. Going to be tough because of the brilliant cap maneuvering of the Jeruh. Glad to see Revel and Overshown out there. Both players will help us. Flournoy needs more playing time. Williams and Davis were Nice one two punch. What is troubling about this season up until last night has been our weak defense. Eberflus is still Eberflus. He is by far the worst defensive coordinator in the entire league. Not only are we facing a run against some very strong teams but we still have Eberflus to contend with. I know the defense played well last night. I pray that I am wrong and will admit that I am wrong if there is a 180 degree turnaround. The positive is that we do have players returning to maybe get this turned around. Going to be very tough at 4-5-1 to climb out of this hole. It is not impossible but going to be tough. Not sure this team will play consistently enough to go on a winning run. Dak is still Dak with his all world regular season stats who just can’t deliver when you need him most. Good QB that lacks the ability/talent to raise his level of play against better teams when it counts. The Jerruh factor still infects this organization in a negative way. I still believe our team would be much better with a better proven coaching staff. Someone like a Sean Payton would have this team humming but the Jerruh just won’t have it because of the control factor. We do have the individual players to compete with other playoff teams in my opinion. I know we have some weak spots but overall we should be better than 4-5-1 at this point in the season. For our team to make the playoffs we will have to win every game the rest of the season. I just don’t see it. There is zero margin for error and there is nothing to indicate that this team is anything better than 500. On a different note I will defend Scots “ book it” take on the game. He along with every Cowboys fan have thirty years of disappointment to fuel a healthy dose of skepticism. I believed Geno Smith was going to “go off” on us last night. I was wrong but my skepticism remains strong. All of us on this DC universe site are pretty educated/ knowledgeable about our Cowboys. Much more so than the average Cowboys fan. We know the players by position, we know the coaches by position and for the most part stay “in tune”’with our team. I like this site because there iare always strong opinions grounded in sound educated analysis. We all have one thing in common in that we love the Cowboys and desperately want them to win. This next game against the Iggles will tell us a lot about our chances moving forward . Every game moving forward is a must win game. For now we can all glow in the aftermath of a nice win. I hope the glow remains after our game against the Iggles. Go Cowboys!
