We had the number one offense in the league and then the Jones morons started talking about Conner Williams getting to many penalties and they disrupted our entire O-line.

Go back to what was working.
Bingo put Williams back in.

That was pretty bad to be honest. They had most of their key players injured and Had a qb that couldn’t throw the ball and we barely squeaked it out.

1. The Cowboys' defense is just fine (aside from that garbage time attention lapse tonight).

2. Taysom Hill? Wish he was a Cowboy. Dude is a baller. Broken finger, and no running back...101 yds rushing.

3. O-line not getting their job done is obviously killing the offense.

4. A minimum of penalties tonight was a welcome surprise.

5. Mike McCarthy really wasn't missed on the sideline, save for the "Waffle House menu" jokes.

6. Micah Parsons may be the best professional football player in action right now. With one of the best attitudes.

7. Dak (and the entire Dallas offense, by extension) is entirely one-dimensional if he doesn't present a threat to run on every play. Makes the defensive game-planning that much easier. I fear Dak is under orders not to risk injury; as a result, the entire team is at risk of not being successful.

Nope.....If you can't see the pieces are there for a title...then that's on you. I don't like seeing Parsons hanging out playing the spy for most of the night....but I get it.....it was an odd match up tonight vs Hill....but I wanna see max pressure w/ Lawrence, Parsons and Gregory when he gets back. You can't double everyone. I still think we have been sitting on that Double AA gap blitz...so we will see. We just have too many good athletes on defense not to be a championship team.
But there’s always Anthony Brown. And the D is good for 3-4 massive pass plays and a few big runs allowed every game.

I still believe Cooper is the straw that stirs our offense. He demands double teaming, and he still knows how to win sometimes. Seldom does one defender control him. He opens up things for Lamb and the others. Lamb is a great playmaker, but we forget he’s only a sophomore in the NFL. When forced to be #1, teams can bracket him out of the game, and then we are counting on lesser players to win. When we get all three of our top wrs on the field together and healthy, it will open up the game for Shultz and give Zeke and Pollard more room.

You always take a W in this league. Always. That said— there are glaring issues. This team is in big trouble.

1. The run game is atrocious
2. The OL is playing like trash
3. Dak has lost chemistry with his WRs
4. Kellen’s lost his mojo
5. Run D looks shaky
6. Still giving up too many big plays on D
7. Sloppy, flat, slow starts

Gotta just look at it like this team is exhausted playing 3 games in 12 days and was out of sync with 1/3 of the coaching staff on IR.

Hopefully the 10 days off will do wonders for what has been ailing us. Could be a LOT worse than 8-4, so I am counting our blessings

If Dak is being kept under wraps, that’s actually smart even if it costs us a close game or two. I’m guessing he will be turned loose in the playoffs.

Off topic question: Does anyone else think it is selfish for Zeke to still be playing with a bummed knee especially when we have Pollard? It seems to be hurting the team more than benefiting the team. I can understand being a competitor but seeing him on the field getting stuffed several times really is making me question if he should be out there. I rather have him get healed up then waste downs with him. Don't get me wrong, that last run he had to seal the game was awesome.

If the coaches did not think he could be a factor they would have sat him.
I don’t think anyone wants any player going to the coaches and telling them they don’t want to play.

unless he knows he is injured and is up to him to say hey something is wrong.
Most players will play if sore or some pain management. Bit is truly inured to be detrimental they will say so.
