These next few games are pointless

A common thing you are all saying is: awful football. Dallas playing sloppy football, etc.

This is what I'm saying: if you are a sloppy eater, odds are, the business men you are eating with aren't going to invite you out again. However, if you sloppily eat at the kids table, odds are, the kids aren't going to care.

Not saying we can't clean it up, but even if we win against these next few teams, will it truly tell that our team can contend with the big dogs?

It never ceases to amaze me ho many ppl here think that this team is good. It is simply idiotic. Dak will not magically get better, this defense sucks, and we are not as well coached as we thought/hoped. That alone will keep this keep where it is at. Mediocrity.

The Cowboys will do nothing until they stop being the team that makes tons of errors.

The Cowboys can't beat good teams and also overcome themselves as well.

We have the upside to be really good but we have a sloppy football team. Seattle is sharp.
I agree with everything you said, but im willing to give them the benefit of things right now given an abbreviated offseason and new coaching staff. They have some winnable games upcomong and are in a weak division. They have time to figure it out.

Get healthy, clean up the bone headed mistakes, and let's see where this team is week 10.

They were a sloppy team Pre-McCarthy and it's almost October.

I think the new coaching staff thing is overblown and things like fumbling the ball on the 1 on the kickoff have nothing to do with a new staff.

Dallas and especially Dak need to start beating some of these good teams on their schedule and playing a sloppy brand of football is not going to get us there.

I think the team has a lot of upside and denying that is simply idiotic.

We are playing garbage football and giving these teams all they can handle. We haven't even played good football and we're down about 10 men as well.

Dallas doesn't have talent issues they have sloppy football issues.

No argument here at all. Im not saying things will get fixed, I just think they deserve a fair chance. If they do flop this year, im actually not against completely blowing things up, and ill even add dak to that. I just think that talk is a little premature at week 3.

Russel Wilson is what a elite QB looks like.

Unfortunately he makes too much money and they don't have a defense so eventually they will start taking L's because of it.

The team to worry about going forward is the Packers. They are the best NFC team. Rodgers is playing great and they have something that looks like a defense.

Be that as it may.

DAK is not the answer
The defense is garbage
The team is not well coached.
This will never EVER get us to the next level... once again.. this team is an AVERAGE team

As much as this fan base is overeating and shredding this team we could easily be
3-0!!! But we are not. What did we expect? New Coaching staff, new schemes, no preseason and a ton of injuries have all cripple us. We have been very sloppy and have made too many mistakes in the first 3 games. I can still see a light at the end of the tunnel. Open your eyes this team will get better and don’t forget this , with our offence we can hang with any team in this league. They will never be out of any game unless they throw it away with turnovers and penalties. This team will be real dangerous further into the season.

I’m trying to grasp the common goal here. We’re “supposedly” going to beat down on these sort of sucky teams across this stretch... and for what? To go to the playoffs and get embarrassed in the divisional round again? No thanks. Browns look like a formidable foe right now with Myles Garrett and their running game. All of our opponents look tough for this team to handle.

Today proved we cannot hang with the contenders. As a matter of fact, the Rams and Atlanta games showed us that too. What’s the point of sitting at the adult table if you’re only going to be fed the scraps that the kids table gets?


We need to focus on rebuilding the defense. Let Washington win this dumpster division, let them get embarrassed and eliminated in the wild card round, we get a higher draft pick, and we spend it all on defense. I know O-line needs to be checked on, but I think we can hold on for one more year. If we really have to, we can get a guard to replace Connor Williams. But that’s it!! I want a safety in the first round, a LB in the 2nd, a DB in the 3rd, another safety in the 4th, a DE, and so on.

Also a punter and a kicker.

“Cannot hang” is not how any reasonable person would describe two one score losses in the final minutes on the road against playoff teams.

This is why I say they have upside. I see it but right now Dallas is a stupid stupid football team.

They are playing awful and still hanging with good teams but it's almost a month into this thing and they are still showing no signs of sharpening up.

The offense and pass rush looks much better than it did week one.

Come on, guys. Some of you act like you've never watched a season of NFL football. You know teams evolve and change a ton from September to December. Three months from now they can be much better than they are right now. The offensive talent on this team is insane, and they can be significantly better on defense as they get some players back and get more comfortable with the new scheme.

Its 3 weeks into the season. If these prior games showed you anything it should be our offense can keep us in any game, despite how trash our defense has been.

Maybe as the guys learn the scheme and we get our starting cbs, Sean Lee and LVE back we will actually improve?? We are probably missing half our starting defense right now and they weren't that good to begin with. If this defense can be average we can make some noise.

We are in agreement this is likely a lost season, and this off season we need to overhaul the defense and put the majority of our resources there. Additionally we need to get Dak signed, anyone else we bring in is gonna take us backwards period.

Yep.. At the very least we have hope.

I'm not going to get too excited until we actually beat a top tier football team but Dallas has tons of room to grow.

Seattle? We just saw them pretty much at their best. They are playing clean football and Russell is doing work for them. They just don't have the defense to be a real threat down the road.

So if we beat the Browns, who are 2-1, but would be 2-2 if we win, therefor Browns not a winning team. And beat the Giants currently 0-3, will we still get whining we do not beat quality teams? So therefore we do not deserve to be in the playoffs if we get there.

GB beat the Saints last night, the Saints are now 1-2. So I guess GB sucks because they beat teams that are, 0-3, 1-2, 1-2.

Man Rodgers can't beat teams with winning records.

Cowboys beat themselves, and they won't go anywhere doing that, but this is game 3.

This team has a long way to go and their FO is putrid at truly fixing the roster, and knowing how to build a winner.

Its better to peak late than early. I'm not saying we are going to do anything in the playoffs (assuming we make them). However we are 3 games in. We did hang with every team so far. We were winning on the road to the team most consider the 3rd best in the league, with 3 minutes to play. Thats hanging..

A team with a new coaching staff takes time to gel. We see the injuries on the OL yet we are scoring points.
The defense is figuring out the new scheme and the coaches are figuring out the players. We clearly had some serious safety mental mistakes yesterday. Installing a new system while rolling most of your CB's to safety and back during camp didnt help.

Lets see how we feel around week 12 before we start talking doom and gloom.

I agree. Even as poor as the secondary was on some big plays they also created a couple of coverage sacks where Wilson was looking for open men and not finding them. There is some miscommunication back in the secondary and our own injuries we are dealing with and it falls to this staff to get some things corrected to avoid some of these blown coverages that lead to easy points.
