Twitter reacts to Cowboys’ lackluster road performance in 31-10 loss to Bills
The Dallas Cowboys’ winning streak is over at five. For the second time this season, the club went on the road against a championship contender and got throttled. First it was the Week 5 game against the San Francisco 49ers. 10 weeks later, they suffered a similar fate against the Buffalo Bills.
Dallas entered the game tied for the NFL’s best record at 10-3, but once again failed to conjure up the guys to stand up to a team that came out with physical intentions. The Bills may be the AFC’s best team, but they’ve played down in several games and entered the contest at 7-6. They clearly played up to their potential in this one, however, as Dallas played down to their floor.
As such, the football world was unapologetic in their assessment of the Cowboys performance. Until the club shows up on the road, where they will likely exist for all of their playoff run, there will be doubts about the true ceiling of the team. Here are the reactions.
Embarrassing defense. Two of the last three games the defense has been trashed.
Fugly.

The Bills have called a run on 69% of their offensive plays today against the Cowboys.
That is the Bills' highest rate of called runs through three quarters (i.e. removing garbage time) of any game in the Josh Allen era.
They are dominating the Cowboys on the ground.

All-time no show by the Cowboys today.

I did not expect an ass-kicking from Buffalo today.

The #Cowboys' 92 yards through three quarters is their lowest total through three quarters of a game since 2010 pic.twitter.com/HoThPZcu0b

How bad was today? Asked our research dept.
The Cowboys have not let a player record 200+ scrimmage yards against them in a game since Todd Gurley had 215 yards against them in Week 4, 2017 (prior to Dan Quinn era) pic.twitter.com/c2dChMh9LI

This Dallas debacle would be really significant if the Eagles weren’t consumed at present with hurling themselves off a cliff.

The most predictable Cowboys performance

Left side of the line got WORKED on that sack. Just an all around ugly failure by virtually every facet of this team this game.

I dunno what to do with the Cowboys, as per usual.
They have several legitimately big-time moments. They just housed a Philly team that beat this Bills team.
But man, their lows have been LOW. At least they don't have a long wait for a shot at redemption, with Miami up next.
