The right tackle situation has become unsustainable a change needs to happen next week.

Mike McCarthy’s befuddledness

Fumbling going into the end zone two weeks in a row.

Prescott’s errant deep throws to nowhere.

The running game, the toughness at the line of scrimmage, the attack mindedness it’s all missing.

We are a 2 player football team on offense.
We’ve morphed into this even Jake Ferguson has slipped off of late - Gallup is nowhere to be found.
Tolbert hasn’t done anything. Brandon Cooks flashes Tony Pollard is running in mud. Turpin Meh

We are in a lot of trouble.

I'd be shocked if the Eagles do not win out, or better yet say they lose and so do we next week, that would be true Cowboy fashion

Washington is tanking. We won’t lose to them. You are correct though about the Eagles but I have a feeling the Giants might clip them with Taylor.

The mental mistakes we continually make are the most alarming thing to me. No team has a perfect roster, so issues like right tackle concern me less than those unforced errors.

The final offensive drive really illustrated all of our issues in two plays. You have Hendershot committing (?) an absolute killer penalty on 1st down, and Dak/McCarthy combining to commit a head-scratching deep throw out of bounds.

The game should have ended in kneel downs.

Aikman is right Prescott could’ve been called for intentional grounding.

The bowl is in Prescott‘s hands too much. This is because we do not have a running game and because we are now focusing on only one target that is super alarming Ferguson is an afterthought gallop may as well not even Tolbert shows flashes, but then he’s nowhere to be found.

I didn’t say we suck. I said there are alarm bells going off and our head coach is giggling in the post game.

I told a few content creators eight weeks ago that the hyper-focus on feeding Lamb could ultimately be detrimental to the offense as a whole...including interceptions. That seems to be what has happened since the Eagles game. Many will look at Lamb's stat line and think it's all great but despite what he did in the first quarter (the one long TD) the team only scored 7 points in one half of football at home. Has that ever happened this year?

Highly concerning is this new ultra-aggressive (to a fault) vertical disposition, when matriculation and resting the defense seems like a better approach. Too many wasted deep balls on Saturday night.

I think when we play good teams the difference is coaching and intelligence. The smarter teams beat us up. Tonight the Lions outsmarted the Cowboy multiple times.

The fake punt. The bomb to Williams covered by Bland, who is becoming a real problem in the secondary. But where were the safeties? The two point conversion would have worked if they reported it correctly. In the meantime, McCarthy is throwing the ball with less than 2 minutes left. If they run the ball on that 2nd and 14 play take away Detroit's last time out. Then they run it on 3rd and burn another 40-45 seconds off the clock. They can still kick the FG, or not. Then Detroit has less than a minute and they still need a TD. Of course that assumes Quinn is not going to play that soft defense and give up a score in 20 second. As it payed out, Detroit would not have had time to that TD play had the Cowboys not thrown an incomplete pass.

Dallas got lucky to win the game tonight. McCarthy and Quinn deserve a lot of criticism.
