Some of those points were given up by their offense. The Cowboys had defensive scores against both teams.

Prescot is not the answer anymore and the Cowboy brass needs to find a way to move up in this draft to find his replacement.

Because he vanishes in big moments in the post season. If you want the bag, you gotta show out when it matters most. If you gonna cry foul on a podcast, you gotta show up big . Talk is cheap.

I hate to disparage the guy because he's a great player. But it seems the opposing teams always have players who rise to the occasion during the big games. The Cowboys don't seem to have those players, Micah included .

Seems to be a lot of doom and gloom around here currently. Lots of predictions of only 8 or so wins.
But the NFL is a strange beast, seldom does it follow the script laid out before the season by us, and even by the "experts".
Before continuing, let me stress as I've already said I have no expectations for this season, what follows is just some ruminations on my part.
Go back to 2016, when it was determined that we would be rolling with our 4th round rookie qb, I seem to recall a lot of, as this year, predictions of 8 wins, and some even less. Yet at the end of the season there we were, 12-4, with a first-round bye. Lost by only 3 pts in the playoff game. Certainly not what most thought would happen.
Seems we have a "tough row to hoe" what with losing Tyron, et al. But really, other than Tyron, what did we lose? Castoffs like Hankins, a center I and others didn't think much of (were we right? we'll see), backups like Armstrong, guys we obtained as free agents ourselves a year or two or so before, a running back that didn't do nearly as well as the year before, etc.
Dallas has backups for every position lost. Have those backups shown they can be just as good as who they would replace? No, but a lot of those have been stuck behind lost starters, there's a lot unknown about them. Overshown didn't even play, sure it's essentially his first year, but what did LVE do his rookie season? Pro Bowler, if memory serves. And we have draft picks, like most years. Anybody think Lamb would be available at no. 17 in the draft?
My point is as with any year, the story isn't yet written. Won't be until December probably. Until then, it's fun to cuss and discuss, let's just remember we've been wrong before....
