I'm not blaming Dak for the loss but he wasn't perfect either. He battles and is as tough as they come but he made some bad throws....He could of had another interception if it hadn't got wiped out by a Penalty.

The vast majority of posts here are the Saints game were that the Cowboys kept trying to run the ball when it was NOT working.

Now when they get away from forcing the run when it's not working fans don't like that either.

It's about balance.

My comment regarding abandoning the run was about abandoning the run when it's working.

Why is it that you guys don't understand that when we are down by 10 points or more why we stopped relying on 4 yards and a cloud of dust Zeke?

We went away from Zeke long before it was 23-7.

Don't know why, but we did

exactly.
we had early success in run game and decide to abandon it in favor of a trying to press a more aggressive pass game,
.. or trying to be exotically creative.

..and we did that two games in a row, that led to back to back losses.

I disagree. Running zeke has gotten us nowhere lately. He rarely makes big plays.

Be more aggressive early, get a nice lead and then run more. Or put pollard in more.

Eh. The entire team cannot be a scapegoat. Anyone with eyes would realize it’s not just Dak. It’s not just Garrett. It’s not just Zeke. It’s everyone. No one on this team has balls. No one on this team CARES. Who cares about winning- was heard for the Dallas Locker room after the loss. You think Zeke cares about us after he got paid? Really? You think Dak cares about winning? D-Law? Amari? Jaylon? Maher? Sean Lee? Why would they care when they play for the most gullible owner in the league? Why would they care when they get paid millions every week? What’s the incentive to care? There is none, which is why they go out and do the same thing every week. Lose. That’s the only thing this team knows how to do properly. Winning is nothing but a bonus to them. Not a goal.

This entire team deserves to be cut, fired, and traded away.

What a stupid post

if you take your usual zeke hate out of it, and review the early parts of the Bills game, you'd see how success we started off running the ball with him.
why stop and abandon that when you're hurting the foe early on ?

Don’t forget his post game conferences are an exact replica of Garrett’s.

He doesn’t care. Even if Dallas cuts him, he knows he’ll get paid elsewhere, so winning doesn’t affect him or his mantra at all.
How do other teams get their players to care? Every top player would get paid somewhere, yet some top players play with passion and emotion week after week.

This game the haters managed to convince emotional fans to join the "Dax Sucked" narrative.

Garrett has been a complete failure this season and Garrett reached an all time low with the Bills game.

Many fans wanted Garrett to fail beyond the point of no return and now he has done it.

Yet, the majority of fans are so emotional that they can't even realize what has happened.

They want to cry and claim that Dak had a bad game.

None of the cry-babies have even reviewed the game but think that they know what happened.

Emotional Fan: "Awe seen it wit my own eye balls...that Dak feller sux"

Question to emotional fans: Did you review the game?

Emotional Fan: Naw. I don't do that.

Question to emotional fan: Don't you want to know that really happened?

Emotional Fan: Well, I had a 12 pack during the game and only missed a dozen or so plays while I went to recycle that beeeer. Oh yah, I also went out to smoke a few times but my buddies told me what happened.

Summary:
The Cowboys lost.

Emotional Fans can't get a narrative going on the usual suspects below:
  • Garrett succeed on his high risk 4th down call. Makes it harder to blame him.
  • Zeke didn't get stuffed much (because he barely had any rushes). Makes it harder to blame him.
  • The defense didn't have that many terrible plays. Makes it harder to blame them...
  • The WRs didn't have too many drops. Makes it harder to blame them.
  • Jeff Heath did NOT play. Makes it harder to blame him, although @Sydia probably did anyway...
  • Jourdan Lewis did play. Emotional fans asked for him. They won't admit he was one of the worst players in the game.

That leaves Dak to take the the blame. Just a few negative posts about Dak and the followers with get on board the narrative. People that have not and never have reviewed game footage will argue any and all points about the positive aspects of how Dak played.

Emotion Fans will claim Dak sucked until the Cowboys next big win and then many of them will deny even claiming Dak sucked. The others will go back to their hovels just waiting for another game where they can entice emotional fans into believing their narrative that Dak sux.

There are probably still a few lingering Romo haters that hope he will return to play in the NFL and will really suck which would allow them to attempt to create a narrative that he always sucked. I envision one of those Japanese Soldiers cast away on an island and 10 years later didn't know the war was over.
Great post.

Its a total failure, from top brass all the way down the line.
We have OL shouting out,,, OL!
When do you ever hear from OL saying anything ever, win or loose?
Players are giving up, coaching staff is giving up...
its embarrassing, and a slap in the face to the hard core membership, those that expect better results.. the fans.
Jerry has turned this franchise into his own personal toy, and whatever Jerry says is what happens.
I supported Jerry for years, always standing in his corner, and doing my part in deflecting the Jerry bashers, but now I finally realize, this team is not going to get any better.
This is Jerrys toy,, and he is a drunken fool.
That may seem harsh, but its the god honest truth.

I don't think Ive ever seen you post anything else but this. Did you throughly read through my post or just disagree with it because you think everything I post is stupid.
I think zeke cares a lot. but the blocking schemes have been horrible. pass protection has been off the charts good. but run blocking has totally sucked. that's attritutable to coaching. mark columbo just isn't good at it. zeke cannot be blamed for that.

Ha ha ha ha ha too funny, I enjoy a good laugh, thanks for another laugh filled post. No propping anyone up on this team for the Buffalo game from A-Z they all stunk, get over yourself or since you are Mr. film let Jerry know you are available as HC with generational talent at film watching and have all the answers to get him to the SB. Thanks again for the laughs.

No Zeke can be blamed just as much. He doesn't care. Show me he cares. Who writes "Go get that $$$" on your opponents jersey after having 40 yards rushing and a devastating loss? Who says "Aww shucks" after losing? Who laughs on the sideline while losing? Who takes themselves out of the game 30 times a game after losing? Zeke can't be blamed for this "non-existent run blocking" you speak of, but he can be blamed for his attitude, mindset, and body language.

don't agree. I think he wants to be the best but isn't getting a lot of help from his o-line.

Oh really? He wants to be the best? Do you not find it coincidental that he falls off a cliff after getting paid?

Assuming Garrett is gone after the season the smart thing to do is use the franchise tag on Dak next year.That would give the team a season to see what Dak can do with a competent coach. Let him earn his contract next year. That being said if a good QB prospect fall to us in the draft we should pick him.
