New Uniforms, Please?
My gosh, that uniform combo is the bee's knees. I appreciate the classic silver/green pants, but that silver helmet/navy jersey/white pant combo should become a standard.

If you think the silver pants are better, then you're wrong. I know you think you're entitled to your own opinion on this, but you're not. Sorry.

Crayola Offense
It's time to put down the crayons and throw out this preschool offense. It's literally been said FOR YEARS, that our offense is predictable. I have no idea who is actually in charge of the offensive scheme, in terms of X's and O's, but the the ole "You two run straight, you run 5 yards and turn around and you run 5 yards and then turn right." day in and day out makes me want to club a baby seal.

Dak is not Wentz
As much fun as it has been reliving the Dak vs Wentz threads every week, like we passed on one to take the other, this goes deeper than that. They have completely different play styles. Dak needs guys that create after the catch in order to put up big numbers, as we saw today. The Muppet Babies offense we run doesn't help, but he's never going to be the type of player that just airs it out deep, his play style is conservative and it'll likely open up slightly with time but he'll never be Peyton Manning. I understand why it's a shock considering what you see around the league and coming from Tony "The Gunslinger" Romo, but the scheme needs to adjust to Dak's style.

Resign Hitchens, Cut Scandrick

Scandrick's, "I'm a mean grouch with a chip on my shoulder!" act has worn thin. I don't think the defense misses him when he's out, and the young guys aren't getting much by way of leadership from him because he thinks leadership is about being cranky.

Hitchens, on the other hand, has developed into a nice piece of this defense. Assuming the money isn't out of this world, he should be back long term. Lee had 18 tackles, even after taking a series to "rest", but Hitchens wasn't far behind him with 14.

It's still the Giants, dude.
It's nice to win, especially agains the Giants since I live in NY, but the offense looked like hot trash in the first half. Now that we hung 30 on them, Garrett gets to pretend to be a human through another week of press conference besides the fact that big plays by Dez and Dak to Rod were really the only thing that made this look like a blowout when it was actually much closer. Don't get it twisted, the Giants are awful. We did not beat a good team today
 
True that we did not beat a "good team" today but we did beat a team we NEEDED to BEAT in order to stay alive in the Playoff hunt, so excuse me if I don't care if they were Good or Bad.

You may choose to care or not care, but truths be truths.

They are bad. Dallas could've hung a 40 burger on them. They beat them like they are a bad football team. It wasn't 13 - 10. With that studder stepping, slow motion Morrison.

Dak had a rough patch and will get better and better his blessed with the intangibles.
 
Yup...dak needs a heavier blend of wco in the scheme with rubs etc that he can see happen and hit the open receiver...

Almost seems he disdains turnovers to a point of not trusting his receivers to throw were they should be in 3 steps

What was the deal with that? He saved his juice to go against his former team, I guess. He looked decisive and powerful against the Skins.

This I agree with. The truth is, the cowboys offensive scheme isn’t best suited to his skill set.

Call me crazy but I love our secondary and like our defensive line. We can bring Hitchens back but this linebacking core needs a major makeover. Scandrick needs to go - it’s looking like the 2017 draft worked out well for the secondary.

But this won’t be an elite defense until we change the scheme. Playing safe and hoping an offense makes a mistake is fine against the Giants but that doesn’t work against the better teams in the league.
