Hypothetical of course but if it happens who / what will we blame:

1. The secondary sucks after Ryan throws for 400 yards.
2. Lawrence sucks after he has another no sack, 3 tackle game.
3. Nolan sucks after ATL puts up 500 yards total offense.

Those would be my three if the loss happens. Most here will blame it on Dak no matter what he does.

If they lose this weekend, what do you think people will complain about on Monday?

So I don't get called a Debbie Downer here is what we'll cheer if we win...

1. Zeke is the best RB in the league, 175 all purpose yards and 2 TDs.
2. Smith is comeback player of the year already after a 2 sack, multiple pressures performance.
3. The Dallas WRs are the best in the league, Julio Jones, who?

Ok so to actually answer your question here IMHO are mine:
  1. Offensive line not able to give our QB enough time to find the open receiver which leads to #2
  2. Our O-line does not give our RB enough of a hole to slip through..2 yds and a cloud of dust.
  3. Our O-line gets called for an obscene amount of penalties pushing us "behind" the chains.
Get the theme?

There really isn't much more to say other than If Dak doesn't increase his 3rd down and redzone passing percentage this team will lose. We can dance around and blame the coach, defense, special teams, offensive line but in the big picture Dak MUST play better.

Better tackling would help. Does Dak tackle?

The Cowboys were never as good as some thought.
The offensive line isn't what it used to be.
McCarthy isn't a miracle worker. This team has holes to fill.

I'm sorry, those would be rational reasons. Excuses?

"Dak sucks!"
"Zeke sucks!"
"We should've signed ET!"

1. But but but it took a perfect throw every time to beat our awesome corners.
2. But but but the other team threw the ball so damn fast we couldn’t possibly get a pass rush (nevermind the fact that the same team gave up 8 sacks the week before and after)
3. But but but, our game plan was so good we just didn’t execute

Probably similar to last week. Coaching, QB, defense and OL.

Even with the O-line woes this game would be winnable if we had great coaching and adjusting. Sorry I have no faith that these coaches are going to pull a rabbit out of the hat. Last game put me in the pessimist box.

1. How can our OL be this bad?
2. What is up with Amari?
3. Does the defense actually want to stop anyone?
There ya go. Lol.

Already anticipating the week 2 loss of the Cowboys? It's about time you fools started seeing what I saw before the season starts. The Cowboys are going to be 0-3.

A home game vs ATL has to be a win if this team has any chance at the playoffs. The schedule outside the division this year looks real tough. This team needs to win the games they are the favorite in.

Apologists "excuses":
1. Not Kellen's fault
2. Not McCarthy's fault
3. Not Jerry's fault


Everything is fine.

They don't need an "excuse".

RT:
Starter and intended backup on IR.
Rookie udfa likely starting.

LT: Starter questionable.

Combine that with a new coaching staff that had no real off-season and no pre-season games.

They should not be expected to win.

I may have a shorter leash than most having listened to two co-workers rag on MM for 2-3 years straight.
