Dallas Isn't Even close to the NFL Elite

[IceStar-D7]

We get man handled by any head coach that wants to bring it to us. Physical play. Dallas is a weak butt team when it comes to physical play. Truth. And it starts with Jerry babying them every Summer at the resort laughingly called training camp. Then hardly no practice time. Treat guys with a paper cut like it's life threatening. Nothings gonna change until you change the top.

Buffalo would like a word with you

I don't understand in inclusion of Buffalo as an elite team, with how they have played over the last few weeks,

 

[ICP]

I mean when you’re missing Amari Cooper, CeeDee Lamb, Tyron Smith, Randy Gregory, Demarcus Lawrence, OSA and more - you aren’t going to be as good as you would if you had those pieces.

I put zero stock in this loss. We weren’t playing with a full deck.

I pray to god we play the Chiefs in the super bowl because they hit us with everything they had and only put up 19 points. Our offense can play way better than that and our defense will be healthier & even better than it was today.

If the OL doesn't get healthy and the coaching staff can't get it figured out they won't be going far, might end up missing the playoffs altogether if the Egals continue to win

 

[beacamdim]

This is a bit of an overreaction. At this point we aren’t top 5 but def top 10


And lots of season to go.

Honestly, this a year where I don't see a single powerhouse / elite team in either conference. There are at least 8-9 teams that wouldn't surprise me if they won the Superbowl.

A bit of an odd year.

 

[Proof]

Horrible performance today exposing an awful offensive line, poor receiving corps, poor running scheme, and most of all, an incompetent and poor coaching staff. This team is all fool's gold and continues the tradition of overhyped Jerry Jones' players who can't win quality games year in and year out. Thanks again, Jones, for another assinine hype job of a team who again proved they are a middling to poor team and a joke and embarrassment to the fans.

this is short sighted imo, and knee-jerk. now had they won, praise would be warranted, but they were supremely depleted and playing one of the best teams in the league who have finally regained health and performance. i personally don't take too much from this game. the worst part is (to me) that we can't take anything from it, when we had a chance to really prove ourselves.

Did you forget about the 5 starters out this game 6 if you count Lamb.

yeah, it's kinda wild to make any assumptions here honestly. other than that our defense will play hard no matter who's out there, and that micah is an animal

true. 7 hc's didn't want to bring it to us

 

[Captain-Crash]

well one positive, at least dak didn't set on the bench and pout the whole game. somebody needs to tell him they make nerve pills for fear.. sheesh..

 

[Risen Star]

The best team in football right now is the Colts.

Now ask me why.

 

[plasticman]

The idea that any team could miss a starting All Pro OT, a Pro Bowl WR, and both starting DE's and still compete at an elite level was preposterous. Not only that, but this was the game they decided to "shake up" the offensive line?

I hoped that the Cowboys could overcome such a depletion of talent, but it was hope only. Based on the injuries and protocols, the expectation should have been that the Cowboys would lose.

For everyone out there that is deeply disappointed, you kind of did that to yourselves.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

There's a new best team in football every week now. This is how the NFL wants it. Parity.

We can freak out about today's game all we want. Just remember the Buccaneers won it all last year and they were 7-5 at one point.

We are not a top ten D. That being said, they were the bright spot today

 

[Dale]

Buffalo, Tennessee, Dallas, Green Bay and the Rams are all mostly somewhere in the top 7 of most people's power rankings.

And all have lost their last game.

It's the NFL. We're a good team. Elite? Remains to be seen. As prudent fans have noted all along, there is no award for being among the league's best in October or November. Our season will continue to be defined by the following week.

The Broncos loss upset me. This one did not. There were no excuses for the no-show against the Broncos. Today the Cowboys did show up; it's just that the Chiefs were better; at least given the players Dallas was missing.

Beating the Raiders on Thursday will convince me this is the case.

Today’s team is not elite when:
No Gregory
No DLaw
No Gallimore
No Tyron
No Coop
No CD (2nd half)

Actually, that seems like most teams at this point in the season. It's a game of attrition, and now with a 17 game season, depth is going to be more important than ever.

Look, guys like you dont understand football. The Cowboys are going to be fine when they get healthy.

I actually dont expect you to understand that. But go ahead and jump off the cliff if you like. Ill watch.

That's everyone in the league -- look at how many starters the Bucs, Packers, Rams have missing as well. Depth matters more than ever.
