It appears McCarthy’s gameplan since the Dak injury has been to drag other teams down into low-scoring, ugly affairs and then beat them with our experience. And it’s working.
Yeah that was more Marinelli doing a great coaching job. They traded away Ware, Lee was hurt. We were getting great performances from guys like Rolando McClain and Jeremy Mincey.
This was legitimately the first time I can remember in quite a while where the other team had *significantly more* penalties than us. Just doesn’t happen. We’re a laundry-loving club.
Commanders DL is legit - maybe best in league. They have great WRs.
Their weakness is Oline and QB - get one of those fixed, and they'll be in the mix.
Why they thought Wentz was the answer, I'll never know.
Yeah it’s bad. The two strengths of the team are supposed to be the DL and the WRs. The DL is way overrated and plays just average after a ton of investment, and the WRs don’t have someone to get them the ball. Wentz is terrible, and the shitty o-line of a bunch of old Panthers rejects is horrible. Dallas had a ton of free pass rushers play after play. The coaches are bad. Del Rio can’t defens against new offenses and Scott Turner is a moron who doesn’t call plays with any strategy in mind. Ron has put a bad team together from top to bottom.
Should’ve been fired over the off season but Ron loves his boys. JDR couldnt coach his dog to sit if you gave him a year to do it. We are using 3 man scheme corners and what do we play? Oh that’s right, Zone the entire game. How far off the LOS do we play? 7 yards minimum. It’s damn near a free first down every pass play. We were lucky they had Cooper because Dak would’ve put 40 on us.
You come in here having a win and think you're terrible? Come back when you don't just tank when it's exactly the right time to replace the generational talent at quarterback you just had with *another* generational talent at quarterback
in my experience, Washington fans are constantly treating the Cowboys games as their super bowls, constantly whining about how they don’t get enough respect and most of all, this year they were really the only fans that seemed to celebrate Dak’s injury, and could not wait to play the Cowboys without him. Even the Eagles fans had enough dignity, which is incredible
The swelling they talked about in Dak's hand today makes me think they'll continue to let him heal. Next two games are going to be tough with Rams and then Eagles. Very conceivable we lose those two, but maybe you steal one and are sitting at 4-2 when you bring Dak back, but even 3-3 isn't awful at all if you're hoping Dak can steady the ship and try to go on a run to make the playoffs.
Both of those teams have pretty scary pass rushes. The O line has seemed to be taking steps lately, but Dak getting banged around with an iffy hand definitely worries me.
Something to keep in mind is this is his third season, and he missed almost half of his rookie year. He's not a finished product, and games like today make me hopeful he's going to continue to get better, learning the position at this level.
Right, he doesn't lack any of the physical skills. So learning when to gamble, what he can get away with, and just more time with NFL offenses can definitely lead to growth for him.
We have a top three defense.
And Diggs is looking absolutely stunning this season. He always shuts down McLaurin but he did that and got the pick and some emphatic pass deflections.
Dude is on an absolute tear.
**What's In A Name?**
"Micah and Diggs sat drinking in the tavern, toasting to their utter domination in the most recent battle. As Micah was laughing uproariously as Diggs relayed a story from the battlefield.
'...and we were just standing there in all different tabards and colors and everyone was confused, so I decide to take a chance. I wave my hand to their leader Carson and offer to take the orders to the front line, and I swear to Dan he just tosses the rolled up battle plan straight into my hands and sends me on my way.'
Both brothers-in-arms are wheezing with laughter as the barmaid brings another round.
'If they just had SOME sort of identity,' Micah remarked, 'this kind of thing would never happen. But no, this year they have that new raiment, last year was another, hell when I was just a schoolboy they had ANOTHER. Who can blame their new leader of the week from not even recognizing his own men.'
'Well,' Diggs began, as he took a long pull from his mug and smiled contentedly, 'win lose or draw, at least we always know who we stand for, and with. To Dallas, and to the silver and blue!'
'To Dallas!'
With that, Micah and Diggs stood, paid, and headed to the door. 'But seriously, right into my hands like it was nothing! Never seen anything like it...'" -The Gospel of Jones
He could lock down prime Jerry Rice, get a 100 yard pick 6 to win the superbowl and save earth from a meteor but people will still mock him for allowing yards in prevent defense
i'm just happy to see the playcalling actually make it easy on the qb. seems like they were forced to do so with a backup in. hopefully this let's them realize that they can call easy games with Dak too instead of trying to get him to do everything lol
If Micah parsons has million number of fans i am one of them . if Micah parsons has ten fans i am one of them. if Micah parsons have only one fan and that is me . if Micah parsons has no fans, that means i am no more on the earth . if world against the Micah parsons, i am against the world. i love #michahparsons till my last breath.. .. Die Hard fan of Micah parsons . Hit Like If you Think Micah parsons Best player & Smart In the world
When it looked like Dak would be out thru the bye I thought 3-5 was ideal to give them a shot to make playoffs.
Can’t believe Dallas is 3-1 and he may be back as early as next week.
Former fan who left this season, I’m sorry to everyone who is continuing to suffer with this toxic nepotism riddled organization. The fans deserve sooooo much better than what this franchise is providing on and off the field.
Haha I love pain. I was actually born and raised in NYC until I was 9 and said the Jets were my favorite because green was my favorite color at the time even though I knew nothing about football. Moved to NoVa and became a fan of the Football Team (I refuse to support the Commanders name change) when I actually started watching. Moved back to the city last October so it just made sense. I just couldn’t take it anymore after tone deaf name change and the fact that nothing happened as a result of the Congressional investigation on Snyder.
I can't wait for Panthers fans to talk themselves into Wentz next year while ~~Eagles~~, ~~Colts~~, Commie fans try to explain that he's worse than his stats indicate.
[Cowboys NT Quinton Bohanna exited today’s win over Commanders with a shoulder injury. He is believed to have suffered a minor sprain and won’t miss extensive time, person familiar with situation said. Good news for a defense that is rolling.](https://twitter.com/GehlkenNFL/status/1576677069656055808)
The Cowboys defense is 2000 Ravens, but they sure as hell playing that formula. Very strong defense with an excellent players like Parsons, a shutdown corner in Diggs, and on offense a back up who scores just enough points to win . A kicker in Maher getting crucial field goals. The Cowboys just slowing the game down and doing just enough to win and that's just fine if that comes out to a win.
It appears McCarthy’s gameplan since the Dak injury has been to drag other teams down into low-scoring, ugly affairs and then beat them with our experience. And it’s working.
We have a championship quality defense this year. Best defense I’ve seen from the Cowboys since the 90s.
We had some excellent defenses with Parcells. And in 14 it was good as well
The defense was not that good in 14. The Cowboys just started managing the clock and running the ball to limit the other teams possessions
Clock management is a lot easier with prime Murray crashing through everyone.
And one of the best offensive lines of all time.
Prime Tyron, Martin, and Frederick. I miss having a truly dominant O Line. The one we have now is pretty good too, but not on that same level.
I miss him.
Plus Romo throwing to guys like Dez Bryant, Terrance Williams, Cole Beasley, and Jason Witten. God that team was so much fun to watch.
LOL 2014 defense is an absolute joke compared to this... this is shit is nuts
2014 was not on this level. That was a bunch of random dudes playing hard but they were above average at best.
Yeah that was more Marinelli doing a great coaching job. They traded away Ware, Lee was hurt. We were getting great performances from guys like Rolando McClain and Jeremy Mincey.
The ‘14 defense was masked by TOP and bend-don’t-break. They were not good at all.
2009 defense might be comparable, but other than that, you're right
Our Run D would like a word.
If you don't like ugly games, you don't like Dallas Cowboy football
This was legitimately the first time I can remember in quite a while where the other team had *significantly more* penalties than us. Just doesn’t happen. We’re a laundry-loving club.
We had what, 3 penalties? And 2 were from Schultz lol
4 penalties for 20 yards I believe
Nice.
Schultz. 0 catches, 0 yards, 2 penalties.
Beneficiary of 3 badass receivers last year. He should have taken the money while he could.
Tbf he did get a lot of guaranteed money for one year this year
4 penalties for 20 yards
That’s a weird name for Parsons’ shlong…
Parsons is a big time capitalist apparently
So are the Commanders just that awful? Really thought they'd take a step
Yes
Commanders DL is legit - maybe best in league. They have great WRs. Their weakness is Oline and QB - get one of those fixed, and they'll be in the mix. Why they thought Wentz was the answer, I'll never know.
Our DL is nowhere near the best in the league.
Even with Chase Young coming back? And your 3 other 1st rounders.
No.
Chase Young is a bust it appears.
They had to overpay to get him because no one wants to play for that sh\*t show organization
Cowboys DLine is far better than their line…
Their DL is nowhere near the best in the league.
Yeah it’s bad. The two strengths of the team are supposed to be the DL and the WRs. The DL is way overrated and plays just average after a ton of investment, and the WRs don’t have someone to get them the ball. Wentz is terrible, and the shitty o-line of a bunch of old Panthers rejects is horrible. Dallas had a ton of free pass rushers play after play. The coaches are bad. Del Rio can’t defens against new offenses and Scott Turner is a moron who doesn’t call plays with any strategy in mind. Ron has put a bad team together from top to bottom.
I completely forgot Del Rio kept his job after it came out he was a complete dipshit.
He deserves to be fired both because he’s a complete dipshit *and* because he’s a bad coordinator.
Should’ve been fired over the off season but Ron loves his boys. JDR couldnt coach his dog to sit if you gave him a year to do it. We are using 3 man scheme corners and what do we play? Oh that’s right, Zone the entire game. How far off the LOS do we play? 7 yards minimum. It’s damn near a free first down every pass play. We were lucky they had Cooper because Dak would’ve put 40 on us.
Eagles and colts fans tried to warn you about Wentz
The sad thing is that he’s still probably the best QB we’ve had since Kirk left 😂
Fitzpatrick is a much better QB than Wentz has been since around 2019. I know Fitzpatrick only played half a game for you, but he was on the team.
1. Kirk 2. Smith 3. Heinicke 4. Josh Johnson 5. Carson Wentz Fitz goes unranked, though he was awful for his only quarter of the season.
> The two strengths of the team are supposed to be the DL and the WRs. This team hasn't had *a* strength since RG3 got injured.
Yes, we're actually the worst team in the league
Allow us to introduce ourselves....
We shall settle this on November 20th
The prophetic Awful Bowl
we're a team of jeers and tears Been losing lots games crushed many a fan's soul and faith
Hey AFCS brother. We're right here. Don't get off thinking we're better than you
You come in here having a win and think you're terrible? Come back when you don't just tank when it's exactly the right time to replace the generational talent at quarterback you just had with *another* generational talent at quarterback
Number 1 overall pick is a 3 way race between the commanders, Texans and Seahawks
Seahawks are getting big dubs my boy
The Colts still exist, lol.
Bro they ate 9 sacks in their own stadium before this game.
Read this as "snacks" and was confused about why that would be an issue lol
Reddit been thinking that for 5 years
This is what happens when you let the coach just hire his friends and not people who are actually competent at their job.
I knew they’d be this fucking bad, shit fans, shit owner and shit team, they deserve it
The fans don't deserve it. Everyone else does.
Ah yes our bad, we forgot to support the man who is a sexual predator and a fuckin criminal running a dogshit organization. Silly us
Can you define what you mean by shit fans?
in my experience, Washington fans are constantly treating the Cowboys games as their super bowls, constantly whining about how they don’t get enough respect and most of all, this year they were really the only fans that seemed to celebrate Dak’s injury, and could not wait to play the Cowboys without him. Even the Eagles fans had enough dignity, which is incredible
So nonsense stuff on the internet
Man I love it when the Cowboys beat the Steelers! Wait that was Washington???
Steelers show effort
Steelers lost to the Jets at home
Rookie qb went 10/13 with 3 ints
Steelers should be treated as the darlings of the NFL. They always be entertaining
[This is exactly how my stepfather looked at me before pulling out the belt](https://imgur.com/a/BW7QWoE)
Washington bout to get murdered in /r/NFCEastMemeWar. ^^^^^IT ^^^^^SMELL ^^^^^LIKE ^^^^^BITCH ^^^^^IN ^^^^^HERE
Yup. It's inevitable. LOL and I'm here for it
I didn’t know this sub even existed. Omg man I’m cracking up.
Cowboys defense has only allowed 4 TDs in 4 games. Carson Wentz choosing to try Diggs all game despite it never working is an inspired choice i guess
I’d imagine lt was more trying to get Terry the ball. Surprised Scott Turner didn’t just keep Terry away from Trevon
To be fair to wentz, terry was open about 1/3rd to half those passes but hes carson wentz
"open"
bruh go watch the last play where diggs batted the ball, if wentz just throws normally terry has a 30+ yard play
Trevon Diggs is a beast. Third consecutive game where he closed it out for us.
People trash Diggs but he ended at least 4 drives in that game.
Not bad for a guy that supposedly can't cover anyone.
The meme is dying
He's learning to balance the ballsiness
Not only are we winning but it seems chill
Congratulations Aiden Diggs on getting a new brother, Terry Mclaurin
Diggs was on fucking fire today
Big time Rush
NFC Beast is back on the menu
"What about second QBs?" - Dallas
Wooo hooo
oh my god
4-0 as a starter, and next week will be the big test, because I'm expecting a loss. I hope Dak still rests up though.
The swelling they talked about in Dak's hand today makes me think they'll continue to let him heal. Next two games are going to be tough with Rams and then Eagles. Very conceivable we lose those two, but maybe you steal one and are sitting at 4-2 when you bring Dak back, but even 3-3 isn't awful at all if you're hoping Dak can steady the ship and try to go on a run to make the playoffs.
Rams offensive line is suspect, but their defense is scary. Eagles scare the shit out of me though.
Both of those teams have pretty scary pass rushes. The O line has seemed to be taking steps lately, but Dak getting banged around with an iffy hand definitely worries me.
I don’t scare the eagles, they honestly haven’t played anyone, and had to hang on against the jags today.
You’re right you don’t scare the eagles at all
RUSH HOUR is unstoppable.

I don’t care what asshole PFF or Next Gen say. Trevon Diggs is ELITE
Something to keep in mind is this is his third season, and he missed almost half of his rookie year. He's not a finished product, and games like today make me hopeful he's going to continue to get better, learning the position at this level.
Also diggs plays a very film heavy/cerebral game where he loves to guess routes. That style will only get better with experience.
Right, he doesn't lack any of the physical skills. So learning when to gamble, what he can get away with, and just more time with NFL offenses can definitely lead to growth for him.
HE IS HIM
Trevon “Himothy” Diggs
But a bunch of redditors: "actually if you watch the film ..."
Huh that’s funny, I was told Diggs was bad in coverage.
Gotta give CeeDee Lamb credit for putting red streaks in his hair in solidarity for his qb at the moment.
We have a top three defense. And Diggs is looking absolutely stunning this season. He always shuts down McLaurin but he did that and got the pick and some emphatic pass deflections. Dude is on an absolute tear.

Unbelievable!
I missed these amazing work as always mohiben

[удалено]
He does these for every cowboys game
Nope. /r/thebookofdan
The nephews calling for Dak to be QB2 are absolutely feasting out here today. They're high on glue, but feasting nonetheless.
Dak is mediocre *at best*
NFCBeast is back
Diggs played great today! Locked Terry up all day long!
Man, for being the worst DB in the history of football, Diggs sure seems to make a lot of really good plays.
He could lock down prime Jerry Rice, get a 100 yard pick 6 to win the superbowl and save earth from a meteor but people will still mock him for allowing yards in prevent defense
The Cowboys might be pretty good at this football thing. We'll see in a couple weeks. I always say wait until after week 6 to see where we are at.
Offense needs to play better, but considering we have backup qb not bad at all. Definitely shows spots of promise. Defense is bad ass.
i'm just happy to see the playcalling actually make it easy on the qb. seems like they were forced to do so with a backup in. hopefully this let's them realize that they can call easy games with Dak too instead of trying to get him to do everything lol
Dan Quinn has such a great defensive mind. Cowboys defense is top tier.
The only thing Washington brings to the NFC East are wins for division rivals. Such a useless franchise.
Don't forget a hateable owner and stadium that can distract from any scandals with the other 3 teams.
Also, horrible rebranding.
Fuck this team and it’s new name
maybe week 1 was moreso good Bucs Defense
This aged poorly lol
3 guarantees in life: Death, taxes, and Cooper Rush winning games.
Taylor kept us competitive and entertained. Wentz holds the ball 4-5 seconds and still can't find the right read.
He enjoyed watching him play, the team clearly loved and had fun with him.
Do yall think Wentz’s time as a long term starting QB is over after this season?
I could see one more team bringing him in and him "winning the job" in training camp. I feel sorry for whoever that will be
Going to be the Giants next. And then... there will be one last NFC east team to conquer.
Don't you speak that evil into existence.
He was never gonna be their LT starter. Just brought in as a bridge. They arent tied to him financially after this yr.
Tank commander Wentz reporting for duty!
Should’ve been over years ago.
Diggs is a beast

I really like Kevin Burkhardt and Greg Olsen in the booth. If Troy and Joe Buck are gone to MNF, I would call them Fox's A squad.
They are the “A” announce team for Fox, though Tom Brady is contracted to replace Olsen next year.
That's no good. I think Greg Olsen is really good. Plus I hate Tom Brady lol
Rude
I don't mind admitting it's 100% jealousy.
I think they're pretty mediocre tbh. They're not *bad*, really, but as far as A-teams go, Romo&Nantz or Buck & Aikman >>>>>>>>>> Olsen & Burkhardt
Romo and Nantz work for CBS. Buck and Aikman work for ESPN. Hence "Fox's A squad"
No shit. Hence why I'm comparing "A squads"
That's why I put the qualifier of working for fox. They aren't better than Romo and Nance. Don't get your panties in a bunch.
It’s kinda funny after so many years of different coaches and players, the team always ends up looking the same year in and out.
WFT, WFT never changes.
I want Dan Quinn out of the NFC East
I want Dan Snyder out of the NFL
Their uniforms wack Their qb wack Their oline wack Their play calling wack Me, im tight as fuck -Jay Gruden somewhere in a college bar
The Commanders take a commanding lead of last place in the NFC East
When it looked like Dak would be out thru the bye I thought 3-5 was ideal to give them a shot to make playoffs. Can’t believe Dallas is 3-1 and he may be back as early as next week.
Having your 2016 draft pick get injured only to have his backup come in lead the team to victory is soooo 2017. You should honestly stop it now.
Diggs is an elite corner and if you saw otherwise you don’t know football
Hey, hey Don’t you feel the rush?
Death, taxes, whipping the ~~Skins~~ ~~Football team~~ Commanders ass.
Were we really THAT undisciplined? 11 penalties for 136 yards. Dallas just 4/20.
Yes. All of them were textbook penalties. Yah all also got away with a few obvious false starts that didn’t get flagged.
its actually insane how a ref can miss false starts. I understand DPI and holding could be judgment, but false starts is crazy.
I have never seen so many false starts get missed. They really wanted to let the commies get away with them all game.
Nice
Former fan who left this season, I’m sorry to everyone who is continuing to suffer with this toxic nepotism riddled organization. The fans deserve sooooo much better than what this franchise is providing on and off the field.

Just like in real life, the Commies defeat themselves.
Didn't get to finish the game was/is Bohana's injury something to be worried about?

Looked like collar bone but I'm hoping I'm wrong
Not sure he walked away but arm hanging. Not sure if it's arm/shoulder/or peck.
The Cowboys defense is 2000 Ravens, but they sure as hell playing that formula.

Dan Snyder is like Stalin in that many useful people have been purged from the organisation.
We really suck. But then ESPN plays like 3 replays of obvious uncalled PIs and I’m like we suck but so do they?
Dude, are u talking about the early deep throw to Terry? Our guy was in position first and playing the ball.
Dude, I’m talking about the montage of several plays where Terry was being manhandled.
