5 Cowboys who deserve blame for humiliating home loss vs. Saints

If there were any good vibes permeating from the Dallas Cowboys' Week 1 win, they vanished early in the first quarter of Sunday's 44-19 loss to the New Orleans Saints. Pegged as touchdown favorites in their home opener and widely predicted to win convincingly, the Cowboys suffered their second straight blowout loss at home.

The defeat ended Dallas' 16-game home winning streak in the regular season, but fans care very little about that right now. Mike Zimmer's honeymoon phase is over and the Cowboys' lack of playmakers on offense beyond CeeDee Lamb proved costly in the loss.

There is plenty of blame to go around after a 35-point massacre at home, but these coaches and players deserve the biggest share of the blame pie.

5. Cowboys' nose tackles
4. HC Mike McCarthy
3. S Donovan Wilson
2. WR Jalen Brooks
1. DC Mike Zimmer

The #4 WR is the top player to blame for the loss, LOL- really? Yes, because thats the first thing that needs fixing, the # 4 WR, LOL - get real.

In the NFL losing to an opponent is never “humiliating”. Losing to one that is a superior team should be expected. It should not come as a shock to fans. It certainly isn’t cause to quit on the entire season. How many years of not being “good enough” until Cowboys fans can tolerate one game that they are not “good enough”?

I blame coogi, the Cowboys were too busy sharing their thoughts and couldn't focus on the game.

NFL games are mostly won or lost during the week of practice and preparation before the actual game. As we have seen too many times before, the Cowboys thought they could just show up on Sunday and impose their will on the Saints. The Saints didn't get the memo.

1) Jerry Jones for continuing to promote a culture of also rans in Dallas.
2) Cowboys veteran players for not holding themselves and their teammates accountable.
3) The coaching staff for continuing to play guys who exhibit poor effort, lack of preparation and or an abundance of mental errors.
4) Jimmy Johnson for putting the pox on this dysfunctional organization.
5) Us fans for continuing to buy into this clown show.

Agreed.

Maybe bring Michael Gallup back? Try something. These current receivers don't have what it takes.

He doesn't want to play

 

[America's Cowboy]

He doesn't want to play

I think Gallup retired because he didn't want to play with the Raiders. I bet he could show up back with the Cowboys and give us better production than both Jalens.

What about the QB who had 3 turnovers and all the RBs

2 turnovers, not 3, and 1 of the 2 wasn't his fault at all.
