Now, because we beat the Lions WITHOUT STAFFORD, we suddenly have this young core of studs. We are Aikman, Emmitt Smith, and Michael Irvin in the early stages?
NEWS FLASH.
Next year Snyder and Bruce will be here. We have no coaching staff (not a real one). No second round pick. A shit ton of holes which ABSOLUTELY VERY WELL MIGHT STILL INCLUDE QUARTERBACK. A shit ton of work to do with overpaid veterans, and I am supposed to suddenly feel great about this fucking dumpster fire organization because we slipped past the Lions with their back up quarterback (cant even remember his name) for our second squeaker of a win this season?
With all due respect GTFOH with this shit. We are the same fucking terrible disgusting team we were 7 days ago. But by all means continue dumping the kool aid all over yourselves and popping confetti cannons off.
I want to be able to watch football and root for my team again as much as anyone. I want them to complete as much as anyone. Forgive me though if I wait to see real signs of progress before I buy in again. Because what happened today was one really terrible team barely beating another really terrible team who would have kicked the other terrible teams ass if their quarterback wasn’t hurt. The end.

Oh yeah we're definitely the same dumpster fire we were last week. And I don't think anybody is feeling great about the team after this game.

Just saying I'll take the ugly win over another embarrassing loss, and I don't think it hurt the team's future one bit.

We do need new coaching staff (likely) and new FO (unlikely), and this roster has needs. But I still think this team is playing well underneath it's talent level, and I think, especially for the young guys, a short win is a better step towards playing well than another ridiculously ugly loss.

Plus, for the purpose of trying to recruit a competent/decent HC, I'd rather have candidates think "they're not close, but this roster has some young talent, this McLaurin is a stud, Harmon and Sims are exciting, and Haskins might turn into a somewhat decent QB" than "man this roster has been so poorly built I want no part of it whatsoever".
