Let it be said: official Falcons @ Cowboys thread

Let’s kick off the weekend right.........

Kickoff time: 12 pm Sunday

Falcons edge out squeaker 20-17

No where near official

Not even a tailgating thread

I wasn’t mad this morning until I read this post.

Cowboys win a nail biter in a high scoring affair......41-38. Dak gonna open up the floodgates and send every receiver threat we got in different directions. I sure hope we don’t run into each other, haha. Optimism breeds confidence and success!

I have enough confidence for both of us Okie

I do not have a lot of confidence in this team right now with all the injuries, somehow I do think they may pull out a win.

Cowboys lose. Expect no change, Jerruh's still in charge.

Good point.

This^

Can we go ahead and start an official Seattle vs Cowboys thread? I’m a very anxious person.

Not a good start.

So we all know we are on a march towards 8 and 8. Based on the fact that we are 0 and 1 I will call a cowboys win.

This thread should shingle itself

It’s official now

Don’t care what happens as long as dak goes for 400 and 5 TD’s. Fantasy is my only loose association with the cows

It’s time

I Hope they all get diarrhea

Atleast they’ll be off to a running start

I can say without a doubt they may win.

0-16?

Yep. Cowboys sure do suck. Badly.

I’d like to change my cowboys prediction from 19-0 to 0-16. Thank you.

What happened to the blackout rule? Fake punt lol

This is comical.

I've been a Cowboys fan all of my life, but there's no getting around it, they suck.

They will turn it around. The season is far from over. Can't wait for the fire McCarthy, bench Dak, cut Lamb, trade Zeke knee jerking to begin...

Cowboys are on pace to lose this one 80-zip.

Watching golf,....

2nd preseason game, after next week 0-3

Clearly my method is broken and I would like to revise my 8 and 8 to 4 and 12. I reserve the right to lower it to 2 and 14 if need be.

They’re baaaaaaaack!


Hahahahaha

Zeke crushed that guy at the goal line.

Plowed him. Zeke has every cowboys TD thus far this season.

i foresee a loss

they are not very good
no defense
questionable QB

Yeah, I'm not seeing how Dak needs more money or more years.

Defense is bad. Really bad.

Wow I’m at work and just now got to check on the game wth is going on down at half by 19 wow.

Everyone on offense has fumbled. Really, really pitiful defense.

I guess we need Jason Garrett back...

I don't think red jesus could save this team. I'm pretty sure jesus jesus cant save them.

Well I just woke from a good nap


29-17 looks like a real squeaker to me............

Time to see if the dak haters were right.

You had premature prognostication.

Yep. Dak is ok.

Diggs is gonna be good

Him and A. Smith seem to be the only 2 on defense that can play.

This defense though. Horrid.

No faith in the D causes stupid 4th down plays. Hahaha.

Stupid call!!!

Punter throws it a yard short ....now the runner comes up a yard short.

Why does it seem that our coaches are followers (poorly at that) and the other teams coaches prepare their teams.

So we have three turnovers by players and TWO TURNOVERS VIA STUPID COACHING.

The overeaactions are gonna be entertaining, priceless and hilarious.

Now Drinking

Fire em all.

I'm going to just say it was one of those days....too many guys missing at critical spots to overcome 3 fumbles in your end.....digging quite a hole though. I will say that those quiet "leaders" might better start showing some fire and heat because it's sorely lacking. Team still has Garrett's DNA all over it in their manner and approach

Need two TDs.

We all know Jerry Jones seem to be the issue, He needs to step away. His way isn't working and hasn't been for many years.

Only way I see him stepping away is death or illness

Sounds like I can just delete the recording of this game.

That was the stupidest play call to go for 2 that I’ve ever seen in NFL football. And who made that decision?

On a positive I'm not concerned about the TE....other than that fumble, Schultz has shown he's ready

Nice drive but the 2pt decision was odd.

Bell has been good too.

Nah. You gotta watch the first quarter. The one where the train left tracks early.

Needed it now or later. Might as well.

14 more of these kinda games to go. Gonna be a lot of whiskey drinkin.

Griffen dancing after a sack in trash time. Embarrassing.

they need to let him QB some

At the end of the year, nobody will remember these are garbage stats

His agent will remember.

500+ yards of offense and Dak runs for 3 TDs. Dak ain’t the problem. Zeke ain’t the problem. Coaches prepping the players for the game and bad play calling (again) is the difference.

May have potentially cost the cowboys their second game in a row

McCarthy's decisions

40-39 or 41-38? 😂

All you of little faith go eat some crow.

All sorts of white gals gonna get cut tonight

Zerlien (sp) for Pres!

I don't remember what baseball announcer said it but.... "I can't believe what I just saw"

Un freaking believable!!! Go Cowboys!!!

You mean game winning drives are not remembered?

Talk about a bunch of people with no faith in their team. You guys are worse than a bunch of women.

Two PERFECT KICKS IN A ROW!

Not sure I trust this kicker. Would like 10 more yards.

Guess I will watch the recording since I didn't watch live

I’ll be a son of a b**** They pull out of squeaker

wow what a win...

SOOOOPA!!

Hey. Watch the last quarter too!

I stayed true. Them other guys on here quit on them.

This...nothing else comes close to describing what went on at AT&T stadium today!

Give this man A cigar............

Even Jerry couldn’t have bought that. Lol.

Bunch of quitters!

Talking about snatching victory from the jaws of defeat.

Dak made a few more dollars today.

WOW

Awesome game!

Congrats. Helluva comeback.

And here I was pulling my Cowboys flag down out front after the 1st Qtr. I’m ashamed of myself. This win will turn the team around and we can now expect to go all the way. WE DEM BOYZ!

They had me drinking my second tall boy at 1:00.

Dude....that was a game won by the special teams....don't be stupid

Great game

and I placed virtually zero blame on anyone or anything for it coming down like that....3 fumbles lost on 3 possessions doesn't happen and Dak/Zeke probably would have killed Atlanta...I believe that too

So those passes and runs scoring 2 TDs late were not needed? He played pretty good all day minus tge fumble. Then againsame old same old from you regarding him. He was over 300yds and a 75% completion percentage well before garbage time.

I bet you Ryan would happily swap the day with him

....and hurt by special teams. Running out the kick off to the 12. Penalty’s causing them to start from the 12-1/2. Two special teams attempts to convert fake punts come up short at critical times. Sloppy play.

The real result of this game was the Falcons LOST THEIR WIN. Cowboys played very very sloppy. Bad coaching decisions. Lucky to eek out a win by a pretty good kicker.

The local station switched from the GB game with 4 minutes left. I didn't see that ending coming. Will have to watch it when NFL network replays it.

still watching golf,...

Yep...he conveniently left that part out. Special teams helped put them in the hole all game.

Fun watching “swivel hips” tee off?

If I was the coach or "leader" I'd be in the locker room screaming at them...because luck is not a plan

And some say they are super bowl bound

Nah. I have to recalibrate my prediction. Now I think they could go 1-15?

I’m not a Cowboys fan but that was one helluva’ game!

NFL BABY, IT’S BACK!

This is why I miss J.J. and coach Joe

I didn’t get to watch any of the game but wow I didn’t expect them to pull that out.

F*** the haters. I saw a team start really poorly, make adjustments, and grind out a signature win. Dak and Zeek were both incredible. And BS on calling the win luck. The cowboys were in the right mindset at the end of the game, and the falcons weren’t.

I can't believe it. Clicked on this thread to see how bad we got beat. I turned it off at halftime and went back to work.

It was pure luck

But, but, but you don't watch the NFL.

I told yall I thought they would pull out a win somehow, damn sure did not think it would be that way. For some crazy reason I felt like the onside kick was going to be successful, even after all the other special team blunders.

I had a weird feeling too. But, I was drinking and that leads to crazy things.

Unbelievable win, I have been let down by the Cowboys so many times where they gave up a fat lead. this time, the shoe was on the other foot. I almost.......ALMOST quit watching. Glad I stayed.

When you are God’s team its not luck.

Unbelievable

FOUR HUNDRED AND FORTY TIMES..... better to be lucky than good

I think yall are giving the Boys a little too much credit. That win was HUGE gift from the Falcons. I haven't seen a special teams mistake(not falling on the onside kick) that big since the Leon Lett f*** up! Offense was good,defense was horrible.

So TRUE!!! LMAO!! Oh, we knew the boys would do it.... LOL.

I think you might be diminishing the Cowboys being in a position for the freaky on-side kick recovery to even make a difference. 3 fumbles, down by 20 in the 1st half and 19 in the second yet still being in position to win late in the 4th quarter. Yeah it (the on-side kick recovery) was a gift from Atlanta as was the 450 yards passing by Dak.

I'll just say, from all Cowboy fans, thanks Falconettes for all the gifts.

Oh I give the Boys offense major props for what they accomplished during the game(well except for all the fumbles) but the fact remains they would have never even been given the ball late in the game if those 3 Falcon players didn't ALL THREE have a massive brain fart and forget the defensive team dont have to wait for the ball to go 10 yards before it can be played. The game would have been over right then if even one of them had fell on the ball,Falcons win. It's like Leon Lett deja vu all over again. So yeah,it was a huge gift.

I agree. It was very Leon Lettish !

For those who say it was luck, then what is luck?

If you are good enough, you make your own luck by putting yourself into a position to be lucky!
Dak ran this luck machine, and deserves the credit for giving the Cowboys a chance to get lucky!

The Cowboys gave the Falcons 5 gifts, the Falcons decided to be nice and gave the Cowboys one back. The Falcons are very generous, remember the Super Bowl ?

Would you look at that....someone got NFC Offensive Player of the Week.



https://www.google.com/amp/s/cowboy...scott-nfc-player-of-the-week-week-2/amp/

The falcons on side kick f-up is on the coaches, they obviously didn’t work on on-side kick drills.

First NFL quarterback to ever throw for 450 yards and rush for three touchdowns in a game. That’s was some good play calling, one play fooled me, fake hand off to Zeke, I thought for sure zeke had it. But it was all luck.

I would bet money those players were coached to not come forward for the ball ,not touch before 10 yards and let it get behind them. That is
the standard way of handling the high bouncing kick. Let the second level handle the ball.

I also bet ever special team in the league is reviewing their process. and every kicker is practicing the " watermelon kick"


MO

The receiving team can touch it at any time. They do not have to wait the 10yds.

Good for Dak and the Cowboys. Sounds like a he77 of a comeback.

I hope Dak gets offensive player of the week next game too, only way the Cowboys going to win is if Dak plays as good or better than Wilson, really do not see that happening.

Correct, but traditional strategy is to let it get past you
