We need to find a big back somewhere IMO. Someone that can help carry the load until playoff time at least

Maybe Peterson will get cut again lol.


Dallas ain’t letting nobody cut into Zeke’s carries. They’ll have Connor Williams push him in a wheel chair before they take him off.

It sucks that I can’t feel good after a big division win but Prescott and the offense played so poorly that I can’t. The funk continues and unless it’s fixed, we can’t be serious contenders.

I have no problem feeling good about this win. We beat a division rival at their house in December. Our coach guaranteed a win and we won. We are 9-4. I feel pretty good actually.

I’m enjoying the win man.
I am worried about Dak and the offense.

but they have 4 more games to get back on track.

If they win and advance in the playoffs. Nobody will care about this streak of struggling.

so the ball is still in their court.

but Dak does need to figure it out by playoff time.


Yes this! It was a great first half followed up by one of the worst 4th quarters I have ever seen. You can't say they took their foot off the gas because they didn't. They were calling plays to put the dagger in and the players didn't execute! If anything the play calls were too aggressive! Can someone please tell me why the Cowboys were not awarded a first down on the play where Collins got ejected? The result of the play was a first down catch by Cooper was it not? The Collins tirade was after the play. I thought it should've been first down Dallas after they backed them up 15 yards. What am I missing here? Cooper caught the pass at their own 45-yd line.... at worst I thought the Cowboys should've had 1st and 10 from their own 30. Instead it ended up being 3rd and a mile from the 20. The only thing I can think of is that the refs considered that part of the play.

Who says they will get back on track, though?

It only took one game (Denver) to know them off the tracks.

Ya'll said when Lamb and Cooper came back, the O would be fine. They are back and the O is still not fine.
Ya'll said when Tyron came back, the O would be fine. He's back and O is not fine.
Ya'll said when Pollard is featured more the O would be fine, now he's hurt.

In short, there's plenty to worry about this team particularly on the O side.
At the end only one team is fully on track since there can only be one Super Bowl winner.

Where is Todd Gurley these days and can his arthritis handle a few games?

This is where I am after today. All week long some had the Cowboys losing this game outright and they won it. They are 9-4 and in control of the division. There are concerns that I have about Dak and this offense, but I hope they figure things out in time enough for the playoffs.


Agreed There are things to worry about when it comes to the cowboys and can they win a Super Bowl.

but we are all definitely allowed to enjoy the cowboys winning and basically clinching the division.

I’m not ranting. You’re the one who cried to me about not showing enough concern about the offense for your liking.

I’m just letting you know that I didn’t say any of the things you said i did.

Whoa, I was crying? It was called sarcasm. Next time, I will color-code it.

The point is that I was asking you who says they will. Every time, our team plays crappy, were supposed to ignore it and act like this team is not under-performing in certain areas. The fact, that you couldn't answer my question and immediately got offended is not my problem. Like you said, it's your right. Have at it.

I am selfish enough to want it to be Dallas. After 26 years, I think we are all tired of the famine. It is time to feast.

You right but I'm wondering about why.

What's your opinion?

I agree 100% with the OP. There are wins where we play like crap and get a win that we didn’t deserve and I am grateful for the lucky brake. This is different and more disturbing. I think it’s because up to this point I had faith that Dak would put the past behind him and light up the team ahead of him on the schedule. This is the first time I have seen him in a tail spin that I am truly concerned he may not recover fully from. This has been a downward trend for him since Denver. I get the optimism about a defense catching fire but can this offense overcome anything less than defensive domination? We can’t count on kick returns and defensive TD’s and expect to do anything meaningful post season. Not looking bright as of this moment.
