Disappointing game Sunday, no doubt …

And so far on this site we have had calls to bench Dak, fire Kellen Moore and trade Jaylon Smith & D-Law (while there is still a chance!).

And there have been threads started expressing disappointment that Lamb and Zeke didn't do more (even though both had good games - especially Zeke), and some have indicated they have given up on McCarthy and/or the team.

Again, disappointing game, and of course we would like to have seen more changes in the offense, and a more stingy defense, and more from a few players, but let's not get hysterical. It's still just one game, and one that came after a coaching change, no OTAs and a very short training camp with no preseason games to help implement changes.

Maybe the team will suck this year, or maybe pull together and get into the playoffs, or maybe even do well in the playoffs. What's certain though is time will be what tells, not one game.

Yeah this place seemed worse than usual.

Improve upon the Rams game.

Win Sunday, and my thoughts will be the same, give it a few more games, improve upon what you did in the Atlanta game.
Though the defense is still a big concern. With the injuries and lack of depth as well as the OL. But will see the adjustments. It will still take a few more games.

I think this game will be a shoot out.

I missed the threads on Jaylon and Lawrence . Lol

But yea. No dumpster fire unless we lose Sunday.

True stuff here, fellas! If this crap persists, we might have to change our website title from CZ to the "Knee Jerk Fanbase Report!" :angry:

.....the strong reaction is because fans have been told here, ad nauseam, that Garrett has been holding back Dakota and company but the fact is that the offense looked EXACTLY as they did last year against a defense not fielded by Teams names Dolphins, Commanders, and Giants

So sure, “Take a breath”, this team has 8-8 written all over it until we get rid of the imposter at the Qb position.

The defense got absolutely slammed in the face the first two drives by the rams. They didn't match the intensity and that affects your entire gameplan. The team just didn't look ready, if it looks like that the next two weeks then I agree. Dumspter-fire time.

Very poor taste in the fan's mouths coming off last season. It wasn't just the underachievement of last season that sucked but the fact that so many of the players on the team came off unlikeable. Fast forward to this season, we remove one of the biggest cancers in Garrett, I think a lot of fans expected to see a different "style" of team on Sunday. They looked the same - poor special teams, poor RZ offense, poor 3rd down defense, no clutch gene, highly-paid players not showing up. We checked almost all the boxes of a Jason Garrett team. So fans are at their wits' end at this point.

And, it's still one game. One game doesn't mean there won't be a turnaround, it just means there wont be a turnaround in just one game. And, again, it's just one game with a new coach having to implement things with no OTA's, a very short TC and no preseason. Maybe this will be the norm,, or maybe not, but again, time will tell, not one game.

I'm not sure there was a thread dedicated to Jaylon, but I did see some calls to trade him.

"Oh, it's the end of the world as we know it -- let's all cry in our beer and riot in the streets!" Come on guys -- are we not better than this? :popcorn:

take 5 breaths!

this place is insane and its one game, its football game, just a sport, not life and the fact that we even have sports back to watch and debate about should be good enough to take a few steps back,..

MM deserves a shot to adjust and make changes , teach etc..takes a unfolding of season to do that like 4-6 games to find a rhythm find out what works with these players and coaches....

dang people this isn't life or death stuff, its entertainment and being critical of the game is normal, thats debates we all get into but to the depth this place has fallen, is sad, its flat sad..

im as passionate as they come about the Dc but the threads after game 1 are insane , most are simply emotional outbursts with true logic and purpose..

Can you just stop being logical, that doesn’t work well on this site.

I agree a season is based on a 16 game schedule not a 1 game winner take all. Had Dallas won the game it would not have made us Super Bowl challengers nor does the loss mean Cowboys are in for a bad season. For me I will sit back and see how this season plays out before making a judgement.

It's too late guys, the herd has stampeded :laugh:

Yeah it was crazy how negative everything became here.

I wasn't expecting them to be on spot right out of the gate. New coach, no preseason, limited practices - how could they be??

I have seen them as well, McCarthy or any HC deserves more than 1 game, to see some of the reaction is amazing.

Jipper · Sep 17, 2020

Just be prepared for 5-11 and you will not be upset when we start 0-3 bc it’s expected.

CouchCoach · Sep 17, 2020

It's all about expectations and a lack of respect for the Rams. They've got just as good, better on D, talent as the Cowboys and a damned good HC. Those were two evenly matched teams but some can't accept that.

Accept the blame yourselves if you thought this team was going to come roaring out of the gate. You thought they were better but it's their fault and all of the these coaches and players should be jettisoned?

You whiners need to manage your own expectations and this team has nothing to do with the last 25 years. I get it and understand there needs to be some venting over a loss but that becomes whining by Wednesday.

Hell, if some of you are this whacked out after one game, why do you even follow this team? This is football. The Eagles, Niners, Bucs and Vikings fans were disappointed and probably expected a win too. As fans, we are not owed a damned thing. They played hard but the other team was just a little better, get over yourself.

J_Allen · Sep 17, 2020

Absolutely not. This offense is a continuation of last year and so is the defense. This team is full of losers.

The key to this is preparing for anything. Was anyone prepared to lose 3 starters off the worst depth positions on the team?
