3 games in 11 days

It's not an excuse. League sucks for sure but this is not a serious football team.

 

[KingCorcoran]

The NFL should really look at doing a schedule release in the offseason, maybe like April or so to give teams advanced notice of when they play so teams can properly prepare.

Prepare….that could be a useful word, like if our defense would prepare and not give up 15+ play TD drives to open the game….and the 2nd half.

Weren’t the Cowboys offered a bye after the Brazil game and declined, preferring a bye later in the year?

Dak did say he didn't get to watch much film this week

It showed.....

He said that?

 

[zrinkill]

Wow ...... did not take long for the excuses to come out ........ lollypop and rainbow team working overtime to try and explain this away.

Remember this thread and the people who guaranteed a great season.

Predict the 2026 record

 

[JonesBoys]

To be fair that Bucs Defense is very good.

And at 0-4 they played with much more urgency and passion.

To be fair the Bucs are a better coached team which makes them a better overall team. When you have poor coaching at every level then can you really say they should beat any team? OTA’s, training camp, practices and now 5 games into the season and this defense looks completely lost. They aren’t getting better they are getting worse. Unless we behave that the entire defense doesn’t belong in the NFL then this screams of coaching.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Even if Bland got that pick 6, Dak got outplayed.

Dak played poorly........no question about that and certainly no excuses. He's paid to be the difference-maker, but inconsistency is becoming a habit with him. Some fundamental mistakes he's making you wouldn't expect from a 10-year starting QB. Some mechanical and some mental......

 

[noshame]

This is a poorly coached team, period

To be fair that Bucs Defense is very good.

Deshaun Watson beat the Bucs on the road with their starting QB playing. Stop making excuses.

 

[CowboysLakerBamaFan]

Not an excuse. But it did play a factor.

Rookie UDFA outplayed and beat a $60M franchise QB.

No way to sugarcoat it or excuse to explain it.

Dak allow 241 yards rushing?

There is still a lot of football left. Are you throwing in the towel? I'm not .........
Frustrated as hell, but I still believe but that's me.

 

[CowboysLakerBamaFan]

You pay a price for always having your team in the spotlight.

You also pay a price for being a soft, stupid, sissy azz team.

 

[CowboysLakerBamaFan]

I'm not making an excuse....but the dog ate my homework

 

[BotchedLobotomy]

Good teams win this game every time despite the preceding circumstances.

 

[b0xZZ]

Knew this would come up as an excuse for the loss. Maybe it’s closer than expected. But a good team finds a way to win this game. Dallas just isn’t a good team. It is what it is and what it has been for the last few years……..

By few years you mean 31 years? Because that's what it's been

 

[b0xZZ]

It is unconscionable that this is your take after watching this game. The Bucs were the better team tonight for sure...but inferring that we lost because we lost the QB battle is so agenda driven it's embarassing.

At the end of the day does it matter really? Dak isn't enough of a difference maker and never has been but he sure is paid that way.

It's possible for multiple things to be true at the same time.

Its possible playing 3 games in 11 days on 2 continents had some effect on some players, while at same time some players played poorly.

Its not that deep.

 

[Gambit]

Deshaun Watson beat the Bucs on the road with their starting QB playing. Stop making excuses.

How is that an excuse? Its a fact.

 

[StuckMojo]

Dallas was out coached in all 3 phases of the game.

Again, like a broken record.

 

[Blitzen]

Good teams find ways to win, this team could easily be 1-4 right now

They would be if the refs did not do that abomination against the Texans to stunt any Houston momentum and keep Dallas close in the first half. No threads about the referees from this last game, but I know the Houston fans noticed.
