Any speculation can go beyond the receiver Lamb concerning that particular mystery. That said, the mystery extended to defense, coaching and special teams. Even freaking Brandon Aubrey was hexed that game...


True.....it's human nature to fill in the blanks but it was so damn EARLY!

But yup, it was a solid team loss.


First time here today so .......mad props to the boys/men on the 80th Anniversary of D-day. I know it's not football related but those guys should never be forgotten.

Thanks for the sacrifice

I was so happy CeeDee Lamb's chains were finally cut last season. I was also ecstatic I drafted him on my fantasy team too but that is besides the point. The point is he is getting paid. The only questions are how much and by whom?
I would have to pay the man , he is a great player.He is as good as Michael Irvin was and that is saying something.His yards after catch is elite .

Cooks was targeted exactly 100 times less than Lamb- 181 to 81, and 19 times less than Ferguson- 102 to 81.
Yet the WR2 had only 4 less TD catches than WR1_ 12 to 8...which is 3 more than TE1.
Yards per catch__Cooks was less than a yard behind Lamb -- 13.0 to 12.2.
The Cowboys' HC\OC\QB need to step up and scheme collectively to increase Cooks' involvement in the offense this upcoming season.
And how many times was Cooks open & not targeted or missed? Some big plays were left on the field.

Who cares about stats. We finish with a top 3 offense the past 4-5 seasons and can’t put up more than 20 in a playoff game the same span. Stats are meaningless except to a player, especially a player on this team cause they know big money follows those stats. I also like cee dee but I don’t think anyone really fears him like Irvin, Rice, Moss etc. that to me he is superstar money but part of cee dees problem could be the qb. Imagine if he had someone who could read a defense.
And if we are extending Dak, doesn't make sense to pay him.

One of the most ignorant posts around here. You forget Dak threw for over 400 yards and 3 TDs against the Packers? The problem isn't Dak.
You tell 'em! Those yards he got against the 2nd and 3rd stringers were super impressive.

Imagine if Dak had a 2nd legit WR for a weapon like the top 10 QBs in this league do??? Oooh, how about a running game with an Oline that run blocks well? Oooh, how about a Defense that decides to show up instead of giving up 7 TDs in 8 series attempts? You know...like how most of the successful playoff QBs have???

Or do those facts not fit for Dak simply because you don't like him???

My apologies. When I said 'top tight end', I was referring to top three or four, solely in my opinion, such as Travis Kelce, Mark Andrews, T.J. Hockenson or even Sam LaPorta--not specifically based upon statistics. LaPorta knocked my socks off last year, so I am prematurely including him in *my* top tight end tier.
LaPorta definitely showed why we had him pegged as the tight end to draft. Hopefully, Schoonmaker lives up to his draft status this year, but it's nice to have Ferguson and not be completely relying on Schoonmaker coming through. I do think LaPorta showed that he might belong among those top few while I'm not sure that Ferguson can reach that level. I think top 10 might be the ceiling for him.

That is fair. As great as Lamb was when GB took him away only Ferguson could make a play. Some of those passes Dak was trying to force were hard to watch. Balls in the dirt and the like.

I know people do not want to hear that the connection between Cooks and the other WR has improved but if it is true that is a solution to the problem.
Whatever the Packs did worked.....I mean he and Dak were off the game's first few plays. (LOL)

How could the Cowboys move forward with out Lamb? He personally owned the NFL last year and this is with a slow start before he complained about not getting enough targets. Has any Cowboys WR ever accomplished this?


2025 pay Lance $20 million and CD $25 Mill. Cut Dak and save $50+ Mill.

CD is NOT feared as Jefferson or Hill, Chase, etc.
Most of his stats came against sub-talented teams.
Exactly my point. I always say would you fear Dak? Would you fear Cee Dee? Obviously you fear Mahomes, you fear Jefferson. This offense has no one to fear.

It's the fact the Cowboys don't have a legit 2nd WR threat to help take pressure off of CeeDee from getting double teamed. Plus, we once again had no running game for the 3rd year in a row thanks to lesser talent at RB and definitely because of an aging Oline who was constantly injured and couldn't even push opposing D-lines more than half a yard off the line of scrimmage.
LMAO, this has to be complete satire, if not please, please go get mentally checked out, please!
