Screw talking and discussing it. Elite offenses kick each other in the ass and just go out and do it.

Some tidbits from Archer's postgame column:
He (Prescott) posted the lowest QBR of his career (9.9) with two interceptions and 211 yards on 22-of-39 passing with four sacks. Before Sunday, the Cowboys were 0-9 when Prescott had a QBR under 25.
The Cowboys defense has scored five touchdowns this season, which is the most in the NFL. (By the way, their seven non-offensive touchdowns are three more than any other team in the league, according to ESPN Stats & Info.)
The fumble recovery by Kearse, who is the nephew of the man Parsons is chasing for the rookie sack record, was the Cowboys' 27th takeaway of the season. The last time they had that many in the first 13 games was in 1999.
Only Julius Peppers (13), Reggie White (13) and Leslie O’Neal (12.5) had more sacks in their first 13 career games than Parsons since sacks became an official stat in 1982. He has recorded a sack in six straight games, tied for the third-longest streak by a rookie.
Through 13 games a year ago with Mike Nolan at coordinator, the Cowboys had allowed 400 points and 48 touchdowns. They had just five interceptions and 24 sacks.
Through 13 games this season with Dan Quinn at coordinator, the Cowboys have allowed 287 points and 32 touchdowns. They have 21 interceptions and 31 sacks.

While unlikely, there is still a road to us getting HFA for the playoffs.
It would almost assuredly require we win out to finish 13-4. Doing so would also give us a head to head tie breaker vs Arizona and our final conference record would be 11-1.
From there, we'd either need to finish in a head to head tie with Arizona OR a 3/4 way tie with Tampa and Green Bay. I think if we do finish in a 3/4 way tie we would get HFA based on better conference record (Cards, Packers and Bucs already have 2 or 3 conference losses each). 2014 was somewhat similar as us, Seahawks and Packers all finished 12-4. We had a head to head tie breaker vs Seattle but we did not play GB, so the tie breaker went to conference record. Seahawks got the #1 seed with a 10-2 NFC record, followed by GB (9-3) and then us (8-4)
Remaining schedules:
Cowboys (9-4)- at Giants, Redskins, Cardinals, at Eagles
Cardinals (10-2) - Rams, at Lions, Colts, at Cowboys, Seahawks
Packers (10-3)- at Ravens, Browns, Vikings, at Lions
Bucs (10-3)- Saints, at Panthers, at Jets, Panthers
Rams (8-4)- at Cardinals, Seahawks, at Vikings, at Ravens, Niners
We'd need AZ to lose twice (once being us) and GB/TB to both lose once. Barring injuries or just not showing up, Tampa losing a game is probably unlikely. Packers caught a huge break with Lamar Jackson being carted off yesterday and he may not play for the Ravens next week. Cards have 3 tough games remaining with Rams, Colts and us. I included the Rams just because technically they are still alive for the NFC West title but their schedule is pretty tough and Cards already thumped them once.
