...and not ONE of the losing head coaches were on the field after their loss smiling like a 2 year old. Maybe I am being too critical, but that was just really odd to me. Sends a message to the players. "Hey, we just got our ***** handed to us, shut out in fact, lets smile!"
Players were doing the same with the opposing players. This is a stretch.

Totally DISGUSTED with this team. They didnt go out Sunday ready to play. They had injuries, they didnt need the game, to hell with all the excuses. They just went and stole Jerrys money for the game.

Dak was the worst i have ever seen him. I understand the guy is handicapped by a lack of coaching, or lack of capable coaching, but he's been in the league for 3 yrs. Suck it up be a professional and get the job done. Dallas is a way better team than the Colts, he and the team just laid a egg plain and simple.

Dallas needs to bring in a Tyrod Taylor or Teddy Bridgewater to Challenge Dak. And Dak needs a QB coach who is gonna get into his face and tell him he's *** it up. Sacks on Dak vs the Colts were 100% on him. He had plenty of time to get the ball off or run. Wether there was somebody open or not, he held onto the ball in the pocket way too long. For the first time in awhile too i saw him just trying to muscle the pass to the spot which put him entirely too much off balance and the throw sailed. You can see him trying to throw at different velocities but you dont get enough practice time during the season to tweak this effectively. Defending this kid on bad throws is getting harder to do. Him turning the ball over so much is a very big problem.

I dont think you give up on him, and no way do you draft another young QB. But i think you challenge him in 2019 with an established vet who if he can beat Dak out let him start.

Elliot is starting to get nicked up, taking too many hits. I think its time to start letting Smith get more snaps. Not only is Elliot carring the ball over 20 times a game, he's also catching the ball on avg of 7 times a game.

I cant wait until this team gets rid of Hurns and Beasley. I haver never seen Beasley run so many lazy routes. And Hurns is a waste of a roster spot. There's a reason Jacksonville never even tried to resign him.

TE is starting to come around, but these guys are still good backups playig a starting role. IM still hoping for a guy like Jesse James in Dallas. A TE who can play the middle of the field and up the seams. But more importantly a TE who can BLOCK. Think we saw exactly why Rico doesnt play on that 4th and 1 Elliot got stopped at the 3. Margus Hunt went right across Rico who whiffed on a attempted block and blew up the play. If Rico barely even touches Hunt thats a TD for Elliot.

All in all the OL played ok. The QB was just horrible vs the Colts. Dont even feel like typing his name. I was actually suprised the OL didnt struggle more vs the Colts with Maertin being out. They gave #4 plenty of time to throw or make a decision to run. The run blocking was good as always. The QB and WRs just didnt execute the way they had been.

ON defense the LBers just got eaten alive by Mack all day long. Vander looked like the rookie we saw in preseason. Looked like a deer with headlight shining right at him on running plays. Jaylon was over running plays. And Lee made no impact on the few plays he was in.

The Colts ran most of time at Lawrence. Think this wore him out. I will say the Colts got away with a ton of holding calls. Nelson was holding on virtually every play. I hadnt seen that much holding since the Packers playoff game.

The secondary was off balance and never got into the game.

Yes, true the Cowboys didnt need this game. But, that doesnt mean you make every mistake you could to lose this game as bad as it looked. Theres gotta be some turnover on coaching this offseason. NO way can you keep this coaching staff intact. Garrett i know will be HC, and they have to keep Richards.

Thank you for this post
:clap:

I have never really understood that mentality that the game was not a necessary win either. If we take that thought process further, doesn't that mean that this weeks game is not necessary since we still have one more game after that to try and win the division?

There was a post preseason that the first game wasn’t “must win”

I don’t understand people sometimes.

Pretty disappointed in this season but the Lions game was disheartening. Lions are certainly a good team but give me a break.
I'll suggest we've had some injuries still you cant defend this poop

I agree....this site is crazy sometimes....we win 5 in a row and have one bad game and that’s all you hear....
normally I would agree but I just cant defend that effort last Sunday. You can be a homer and expect deceit football.
Particularly at this stage of the teams development

The Colts got shut out at Jacksonville. The Patriots have losses at Jacksonville and Miami. Pittsburgh lost at Denver and Oakland. Seattle lost at San Francisco.

This place acts like those things only happen to the Cowboys. I'll be a lot more disappointed if Tampa beats Dallas in Jerryworld, but let's see what happens.

I hope you have considered that we are only in a win and in situation is because the rest of the division is horrible and the Commanders starter broke his leg. If you think the Cowboys are a good team you a going to be very disappointed.

All teams have off days. I remember in 1993 when Jimmy Johnson’s team (one that was dominating people) went to play a terrible Atlanta team in their house and just stunk up the joint. They couldn’t do anything right. Jimmy was mad as hell.

I remember this well. This game reminded me of another game in 1992 when an equally crap Rams team came into Texas and beat the Cowboys. The Cowboys decided to take the week off. The problem I have with this current Cowboys team is that they seem to do this far too often. As opposed to the 90s Cowboys where I can recall a few blips on the radar. I recall another time Dallas underestimated the Lions (I forget what year) and Barry Sanders ran wild all game and they upset us at home. And no, I'm not talking about 1991.

The team reflected back the mentality of this board last week: winning this game wasn't necessary, might as well take the week off. I wonder where the team got that from?
so you think they read this board ?? :lmao2:

I wrote this in another thread but I’ll put it here too:

It happens to all NFL teams from time to time though. Sometimes the other team is just up for it, and they put together a really good game plan for a particular team.

The fact that Indy is a solid, ascending team only makes it less surprising.

People freaking out about a loss after five straight wins is absolutely the height of lunacy.
yeah Rams and some other teams lost games they should not have too.

Indy is a good team, they were 1-5 when they got it together and are now 8-6, that is pretty good.
Plus indy had one of our former coaches as DC and he knew how to defense dallas and garret.

Jimmy used to chew out his team when they played sloppy in a win, JG doesnt do that, and it leads to games like this.

I would attempt to lure Tony Romo out of the booth to be an offensive coordinator if I were Jerry. Romo is still young enough to (not be so stubborn)
He knows how to get around defenses and he's EXTREMELY aggressive. He's also a Jerry guy, and knows the Cowboys and their fans. Jerry Jones, open your 5 billion dollar Wallet, and offer Romo 10 plus a year to be an offensive coordinator, a good enough number for him to tell CBS, I'm done.

He can always get back into the booth if it doesn't work out, he's that good.

OP has a strong point about our TEs sucking at blocking. They 100% do (Swaim is passable but injured currently)

It’s crazy to me that we haven’t churned the roster more this year at that position. There has to be a blocking TE somewhere that is better than what we are trotting out there right now.
