YES, we'll take the win, but DON'T ignore how close we came to getting SPANKED.
I don't completely disagree, but consider Dallas is a talented but currently disjointed team. They don't suck.
The Patriots didn't fail to finish, but they did fail to start and if not for a bad throw early in teh 3rd quarter of that game it might have been different.
What overcomes the coasting we seemed to be guilty of, for me at least, is the desire we showed at the end of the game, on offense and on defense, to get the win. That matters.
