For all the wrong reasons.

As a fan of both teams, this game just made me angry. Very little positives aside from the two defenses.

Despite the results of this game I really dislike Jason Garrett and think he shouldn't have a head coaching job in the NFL.

Just thought I'd note this in case you guys were wondering about my opinion vis-a-vis the Cowboys head coach.

Saints O-Line played soft. Peat, Unger, Warford couldn't hold up in the middle. Didn't look like a good team tonight.

I saw it as OPI, as a cowboys fan. That was a nice push off, and seemed (to me) like it directly caused the next contact from the db.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.

The pushoff in the endzone, facemasks on both QBs, that Beasley spot 2 yards in front of where his knee hit, just off the top of my head those were all blatant ref sleepers. Even as a Dallas fan this was some bull poo poo.

I mean, missing the blatant targeting on Kamara then giving Cole Beasley 3 more yards for a first when his knee was clearly down really made that look like a compressed shitshow.

The Suffering of the Succotash.
The refs were inexcusable, but the Saints lost because they played soft as hell, and the Dallas defense asserted their dominance early and often. The Saints D played good enough to win, it was all on the O this time around, which is something you can almost never say.

I would also say their head coach let them down pretty majorly. The first challenge was a coin flip, since while you can make the argument it should have been a catch it would have tough to overturn it. The second challenge, even if you think your offense needed the better field position, was a serious waste. Payton robbed himself of a tool that could have turned the game around in the 2nd half if he still had it. Looking at that ridiculously generous Cole Beasley first down spot.



I....hesitate to say Jason Garrett outcoached Sean Payton, because it was more the mistakes Payton made cost his team a ton more. Honestly, the Cowboys time management in the 2nd half was awful. Wasting two timeouts at the line--at HOME--and then compounding that with receivers catching balls and stepping out of bounds. Had the Cowboys bled the clock more, maybe it doesn't come down to a retarded QB fumble/insanely lucky game ending INT. Hell, if the Cowboys kept all three TOs they give themselves some breathing room if in fact the Saints manage to score another touchdown. Cowboys D played well, Cowboys O played...well enough, but boy oh boy this game had a million what ifs floating around in it.

I had Dallas beating New Orleans as a distant, minute probability that would involve some 2016 Dak play making to happen. If anyone had predicted that Dallas would be able to win with only 13 points scored, I would now belive that person to have access to some sort of time machine, because there is no way that happens to this year's Saints. What the gently caress happened NO? You rode roughshod all over the Eagles, but Dallas infects you with NFCEast Clownball Syndrome?

Clown ball is so strong with the cowboys that it doesn't matter who they play. Someone is making GBS threads the bed, this time it happened to be the Saints while the refs were eating paste.

Already super loving tired of hearing about this GRITTY LUNCHPAIL Vanderesch guy. For some reason I get the intuition that the sports media won't be able to shut up about him for the next five years at least. Defense Carson Wentz on the Dallas Cowboys is going to be a special kind of annoying.

The 2nd challenge got the ball on the 6 yard line. The Saints score a touchdown and that’s a game winning challenge. Saving challenges for later is a dumb strategy if you can put points on the board in the first half.

Depends. If it immediately follows an embarrassing loss to the Raiders or a heartbreaking millionth loss to the Pats, they will likely destroy them. If they somehow beat the Patriots, the Saints will win by 30
