The rest of the division has blown by us

[Q_the_man]

I have heard this for the last 5 years. We still own New York and Washington until further notice.

And yet Washington did go to the NFC Championship 2 years.

 

[kramskoi]

LOL, I am as negative as the next guy but this is a wild take.

Twilight zone stuff If you ask me.

 

[Verdict]

It kind of reminds me of when they didn't have a kicker and they ended up with Aubrey.

Not everything in life turns out poorly. Uncertainty and change can be your friend.

 

[kramskoi]

1. Yes, the Iggles are weaker
2. Yes, the Iggles are weaker, but WON their ring before the inevitable, so who cares if they aren't as strong?
3. FA hasn't started? What have I missed? All the legal tampering signings will go the way of the Crosby trade?
4. Jerry did NOT open the wallet as promised
5. The draft? No guarantee it fixes our many issues we still have

Where am I wrong?

Are you sure you don't mean that since they didn't get Crosby or Hendrickson that they should just burn it all down now?

 

[dupree89]

It may take two seasons to cook this thing up right.

2 seasons to cook it, it's been stewing for 30 years. Its well past dinner time.

It’s remarkably stunning how bad this has gone for us.

We thought we had the right defensive coordinator of fresh new face a guy who Jerry seemed to listen to a guy who had direction.

We heard all the names being bandied about before for agency started we don’t need to review those names.

Dallas, re worked a number of contracts and freed up cash - it was grand slam time. Finally, we were going to compete with the other franchises..

We had the worst defense in American football history last year absolutely horrific, unwatchable, laughable predictable trash.
Hand-picked by Will McClay and Stephen Jones two guys who couldn’t get a VCR clock to work.

So it had to be different this year, right it was gonna be different right … right?

My 87-year-old mother knew this team needed linebackers at the end of the season last year more than any other position.

How many linebackers do we have today?
How many new fresh linebackers do we have today?

We always have some BS excuse some nonsense. The cowboy Dr this the Cowboys missed out on that the Cowboys were late on this. It was almost they almost got him. He came to visit but they couldn’t work a deal out yada yada yada do you want to see what the rest of the division has done with a very little crying and very little publicity and very little complaining and very little finger pointing they just went out and got the job done.

Do you think we could beat the New York Giants on opening day ? - not a chance we are dead last with our new defensive coordinator and Will McClay making the pics. We are an embarrassment.

Same old garbage with this franchise - dumpster diving at five below - while the rest of the kids in the neighborhood go high end game hunting;

Only team that really improved was Washington.

Grand Slam Time?

Like many others, you appear to believe that the salary cap is just some fantasy and that the Cowboys had an infinite money glitch. Didn’t bother to actually find out what would happen and huffed on the hopium, dreaming of a free agency period that was pure fantasy. That’s got to be frustrating.

Or you did your homework, knew what was coming, and are now full of false outrage.

The team needed eight starters on defense, which is a two year project.

Jerry is a horrible GM and always has been. The sins of the past continue to hamstring the team. It’s nothing new.

 

[Kwyn]

Only team that really improved was Washington.

And they had a $90m positive cap situation going into free agency.

I think you’re right on five of five.

That’s actually a crappy haul for all NFC East teams.

Not arguing with you here.

Their best signing was a huge overpay. The rest were backups basically.

May I suggest therapy?

 

[KingCorcoran]

I would have said Giants. Who cares? Eagles look like they’re tanking for a top five draft pick in 2027. Probably unload Brown after June 1 for some draft capital. Looks as if they’re lining up some nice compensatory picks as they seem content to lose much better than they sign. Cowboys have a chance to make the playoffs. The division stinks.

 

[AKATheRake]

We won't be last in the division.

If we are, we need to blow this whole thing up once and for all. Be happy if that's the case also. It's either top of the division or last. No middle, no missing the playoffs. No more BS, smoke and mirrors.

Philly will still be a tough go, but the Giants are who I think will be on the rise.

I think it's the Commanders that will be at the bottom.

There's lots of time before the season starts. Our draft is very important and this next week will show us really where we are before it.

We're clearly looking for a CB in the draft. The top 5 are: Delane, McCoy, Terrell, Hood and Cisse.

Safety, maybe as well. But we have starters and depth there due to FA signings.

LB we'd obviously love one before and during

I think this team sees Bland and Revel as the starters, Stewart and Carson as depth and/or slot play. But they would love a top talent CB and they should.

CP's strength on the defense is the secondary, you'd think he's got his rankings of who he'd like in a top 5. Then the FO decides when and where to get a player within the circumstances.

Welcome to being a cowboy's fan with Jerry in charge!
Fun ain't it?

 

[THEHEREAFTER]

people are still lost and confused during this time of the year. I would bet the OP has very little intimate knowledge of 80% of the FA's signed within the division. Season over in early March. Awesome!

Surprised they are cutting Gonzalez

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Jerry is tanking for Arch.

 

[XXLMike]

Do you really think that Jerry can out fox Howie Roseman? You really think the Eagles have taken a step back you don’t think it’s by design. You don’t think that they’ll come out of this just fine with a great salary cap room like they always have a ton of draft picks and a ton of young talent.?

You don’t need John Harbaugh is going into New York knowing he can win 9 to 10 games in his first year minimum and maybe even make a run at the division?
