You cannot feel better about going forward

Agree to disagree.

Total joke that they trotted Zeke out there in that condition for the last two months..

Well...no one has a roster with not issues. No one.

I agree with that...i said it at the time that they should let zeke sit and not give him that contract...but they did it anyway.

Already admitted that the McCarthy hire was a mistake...also said that before we hired him.

LOL. You think Williams and Biadasz are a quality LG/C combo?

They both graded out as some of the worst at their positions.

Sydla said:

Yes but the fact is you want to absolve Jerry of any real responsibility but then start listing off big mistakes THAT WERE MADE BY JERRY.

He is as responsible as anyone for yet another failed season. It's really preposterous to try to argue otherwise.

I don't think they are as bad as they are made out to be.

Yes, Williams had a ton of penalties but we also didn't use him to his strengths which would be pulling. We didn't use him that way because our RB couldn't run wide.

Could we upgrade those spots? Sure. Was it the reason we couldn't run and struggled in the pass game down the stretch, not really.

The miserables are in their euphoria right now. All is right in the world with them!

1. Jerry is not the problem
2. We will see
3. Zeke needs to be cut, worthless. Dak set records this year and led us to the division in spite of a totally ineffective Zeke. BAD game yesterday but it can be fixed.
4. You guys said the same thing going into this year, particularly about our defense. LOL.

Just go watch another team if there is no hope here.

It was a sobering loss. Really put things into perspective.

I had these grand plans to attend away games at Nashville or at Jacksonville next season, possibly both. Love both of those cities. Now, I'm just going to probably watch at home and save my time and money. Only idiots invest in crappy products.

He's the guy who picks the players. He built the roster. He hired the coaches. Since the SB runs of the 90s, Jerry has had complete control over the direction of the franchise. No one else makes the decisions. Hundreds of different players over the years, half a dozen HCs, dozens of assistants............. the only constant? Jerry. How in the world does one conclude that Jerry isn't a problem?

You can't cut Zeke at this point unless you make him a June 1 cut, even then it saves you zero on the cap. You are stuck with him most likely for another year. Another brilliant Jerry contract where he let emotion get in the way of sound football analysis. Oh wait, you just said Jerry isn't the problem. Nevermind.

They largely got lucky this offseason with their FA signings. They turned a couple of guys into nice players like Kearse. But now they might not even be able to resign someone like Kearse. It also ignores the fact that last year was the first real year their FA strategy worked. Previous years, they ended up with just a bunch of JAGs and drek. They also had WAY MORE cap space this year than they do heading into the 2022 offseason.

I'll give you guys credit. The team keeps spitting the bit in basically the same fashion season after season and you guys keep thinking that next year it will be different. Bless your hearts.

You can't.

1) Jerry is still calling the shots

2) McCarthy likely will survive as Jerry struggles at admitting mistakes this early

3) They have some bad contracts on the books, namely Zeke and Dak.

4) Want to fix the roster? Good luck, the Cowboys are $13 million OVER THE CAP so restructures and cuts will be just to get into cap compliance. They will have to really penny pinch in FA this year. There are a lot of guys people thought could help that are going to walk - Kearse, Gallup, etc.

At the end of day, it seems we can only tinker. So I hope that tinkering fixes the interior OL. Biadasz and Williams were terrible. Maybe Moore takes a job and we can kind of purge the offense and start over. They'll have to nail 2-3 of their draft picks with guys who can make immediate impacts.

That seems to be the extent of what we can/will do. Probably enough to be in contention for the NFCE again next year but success beyond that?
