They ranked dead last in scoring in the red zone......this is what a lack of run threat will do. You get down there, they blanket every receiver and you can't run, so guess the results.

I will say this: last year they did fix the offense around this time of the year. It got significantly better.

The SF game is the season IMO. If the Cowboys come out and win, then they may be able to rally and win back some confidence and mojo and with some guys returning to the lineup— it is not an impossibility.

That said— if they come out flat and get spanked after the bye— then this season is indeed over.

We would all be fine if making Ceedee's money :).

The Cowboys need to do a lot of soul searching during the bye and find their identity otherwise this thing is going to spiral fast and winning more than 5 or 6 games will be challenging.

So the game that will determine the season i against an opponent that's also struggling? This is the false confidence people talk about when it comes to this team.

CD should not be allowed to ever wear 88 again. It's disrespectful to allow someone so soft to represent the once great Jersey.

Does anyone really listen to what any of these players or Jerry says anymore? Seriously. 30 years to put up or shut up and with that……shut up.

The one guy on here who "thinks" he's an expert says running games are for 30 years ago and that running games have zero impact on offensive success.
Yeah, and then he'll personally insult you if you disagree so there's that too.

Fun times I tell ya.

Yep. Totally agree.
Tarnishing all the history of those who wore it before him.

Not really. Every year there are usually a few “tipping points” and pivotal games. Win and things can improve and the team can get on a roll. Lose and the confidence and camaraderie go out the window and things start to fall apart

IMO— the game against SF is pivotal for a few reasons:

1. They are a team that we have not been able to overcome in recent years. Beat them, and the team will gain some confidence and momentum

2. The bye week represents a natural breakpoint in the season where you have some time to tweak and implement a few things and improve. The team needs a lot of work— and the bye gives them a little more time to tinker and try and gel as a team. A fresh W off a bye can provide a spark for a struggling team

3. Health. Lots of injuries this year, so getting some key guys back on the field can boost morale and focus. If Dallas comes out and plays well with some of their leaders back, then that can also carry-over.

The SF game is the key moment in this season. How will they respond to getting humiliated and punched in the face by Detroit? A W vs SF would be a step in the right direction at least
