How I feel watching this game.
definitely, dallas has been battered recently and dealt with a covid outbreak in their lockeroom which is why their HC is gone. they had to win this game regardless of how it looked.

I can't believe some Saints fans defending Hill by saying it was finger issue. Busting his finger probably stopped him from throwing more picks smdh

Hill is damn near Chris Streveler at this point. I know it’s an exaggeration.

On a serious note, the cowboys don’t look near as good as the media had been portraying them before the last couple of games .

I assume that finger was really bugging Hill if not he was awful.

The Saints defense must be furious they're really good. Save one blown long run where the safety really blew it, they handled Dallas. But the offense kept turning it over

The national media always overhypes the cowboys...a few of the notables are paid cowboys fans...they are performers.

the cowboys latest offensive woes coincide with their most dominant players being out with injury/covid. at some point you are going to hit a wall when you lose that many of your top players. for dallas their most explosive players are their top 3 WR's, and all 3 have only played together in 3 games this year. last night was one of those 3 games, and Cooper did not seem to play that many snaps as I recall.

the saints defense handled the cowboys run game, aside from that one long run..and one 33 yard backwards pass to lamb. they definitely defended dallas' passing game as well although I think Lamb had a really good game and Gallup and Prescott made some spectacular plays. the 27 points seem close to the cowboys average, but 7 came from a defensive TD in garbage time. I think if the saints weren't playing with a gimmick QB(finger hurt or not), certainly they could have won that game.

And contrary to what the sports media says, Prescott is overrated. He’s a good QB, and I really like the guy, but he’s not a great QB. Nor will he ever be.
I tend to agree, although every cowboys QB is either overrated or judged unfairly by their own fanbase in my opinion. Prescott through the NE game had his best stretch in a cowboys uniform, which is nuts coming off of that leg injury. since his calf injury he has not looked the same, but I would not say he has been terrible. he played well against the raiders considering Lamb and Cooper were gone. Last night I think he played ok and had one or two really poor decisions.

The Cowboys have drafted Parsons, Lamb, Diggs, Biadasz, Odighizuwa and Pollard in the last 3 years. Not bad.
dallas would be .500 at best without parsons. he is the best all around linebacker they have ever had in my time in watching them...since about 1990. when they get a couple of their top d'linemen back I think they are going to show a little more improvement, but I think their defense is their wild card. it will be the reason they win or lose in the playoffs.

Yeah... Also, the cowboys offensive line looks a little shaky too.

My homeboy Cee Dee Lamb looks good, but its not like Americas team's offense is some kind of juggernaut. They look very beatable.

Every team in the league looks very beatable, especially when you factor injury and surprise COVID results.

Dallas have struggled on the O-Line all year. They cannot afford to lose tyron smith or Zach Martin, I think they are 1-3 when one of those don’t start a game. And for years the cowboys have been terrible offensively when tyron smith doesn’t play. As for The other guys, it seems like they are trying to find the right combo before the end of the year.

both cooper and lamb are the 2 most dynamic players on their offense.

I don't think the Cardinals look very beatable lorenzo. We might be an underdog to GB in a road playoff game, but maybe not, and we'll be favored in the rest of our games this year.

And nobody, and I mean nobody, is looking forward to matching up with us. ARZ and GB are the last teams appearing on everybody's Christmas wish list. You can believe that sir.

Agree. For so many years we watched this team play against teams that looked so much better. But this year it’s us that is crisp, quick, fast, and wide open. Most of our games we look like the only pro team on the field.
The change is surprising, exciting, refreshing, and a little shocking.

I really hope this is what our next decade looks like.

which Arizona? the one with Kyler Murray healthy or the one without him? because I watched the panthers loss (unfortunately that's the only cards game I've been able to watch all year) and they looked very beatable. I know when AZ get Murray and Hopkins back, of corse they are going to be one of the very best teams in the league. but every team in the NFL is very beatable and we have seen that play out all season. I don't see any one single dominant team in the league. this is a week to week league, when a team plays well in the present, everyone praises them, when a team struggles, everyone gets negative. I do think Arizona have been the best team in the NFC to this point, along with Green Bay. As far as Dallas goes, I actually think they have a good chance to win in the playoffs, especially with their improvements on defense.

Lol. If the panthers game is the only cardinals game you’ve watched this year you have exactly ZERO idea who the cardinals really are.

Gang I think Murray, hop, Edmonds, carousel at oline for the last month has caused most people to forget who the cardinals are. When they get everyone back to health and regain their rhythm I think it’s going to shock people how good this team is again.

Carolina doesn't count because after his first game Cam made some kind of deal with somebody so that he always beats us.
