Moving back up the draft board and inching closer to dream pick Mason Graham.

Who’s dream

That sucks, snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. For those clamoring for them to loose…there was a reason the players were upset, they were playing to win. They havent given up on the season, their coach or their teammates. But by all means, keep cheering for them to lose. I am sure that higher draft pick next year will solve everything. Oh and how many holding calls did Parsons draw tonight. But yeah he is loser too.

Pathetic and I am not about talking the team or the coaches. I would like to see Lance play. Rush just doesn’t have the arm imo.

It's bad enough that #27 was dumb enough to even think about touching the ball but he lacked basic hand to eye coordination to gather the ball in. It is actually hilarious! But that's what happens when you have to go bargain bucket in too many positions after overpaying at the quarterback position. It shows in other areas of the roster.

 

[BoysForLife]

Tankers should be happy tonight.

Realistically we all know this team isn't going anywhere this year. So long term losses are probably better for the future

That said, the spectacularly asinine way the Cowboys found a way to lose this game was ridiculous and I can see why frustration is boiling over

Within literally 2 seconds from the blocked punt, a sure victory turned into a humiliating defeat. Only the Cowboys could do something this pathetic and as a lifelong fan that's tough to watch. I honestly believe your average HS player would have been smart enough to stay the hell away from that ball.

This team literally tears my heart out, they really do.

I need to watch the replay of that punt. He may have tried to field it because if he let it go, the Bengals may have been able to return it for a score. I can't say that would have happened until I see the replay from high above.

No other Cowboy touched it after the block though, so if he hadn't touched it, it would've died wherever the Bengals first touched it, and would've been Cowboys ball. Unless I'm missing something.

Truthfully Cowboys played better than I expected. They aren’t quitting.

Agreed, they showed more fight than I thought they would. It’s good to see them not giving up, but they’ve still got a lot to clean up if they want to compete at a higher level. Hopefully, this effort becomes the standard moving forward.

#27 lost the game. People can moan about this and that, the performance of a practice squad quarterback but the Cowboys would have received the ball around the 40 yard line in Bengals territory. Ran it until kicking the field goal and realistically worst case scenario it goes to overtime but a good chance Burrow wouldn't even have had the time to do that.

Partly on the coaches as they shouldn't have players without any brain cells on the active roster.

Every player on special teams knows or should know you don't get close to that ball... but it's so temping to be the hero...

That would be fantastic. I thought the defense played pretty well overall. Before the Leon Lett moment, they had held Cincy to 20 points. Only three teams has held the Bengals to 20 or fewer. Of course, we ultimately allowed 27 so what we had done before the block doesn't matter. I just think it shows that the defense is not that far away talentwise from being good enough. (Not saying I want Zimmer back, but I'm talking more about talent.)

oh man. ouch

No you let the ball die untouched. The Bengals can't do anything with it.

 

[tomokawan]

We have terrible backup QBs and terrible starting QBs... who's going to be up next???

The starting QB is not terrible. Stop it!

 

[NDGAEDE]

Watching this offense, which was already awful, under Cooper Rush is one of my worst experiences as a fan. It's just so boring. So uneventful. So toothless.

The ball would have been dead at the spot it was touched if it were touched first by a Cincy player.

No you are correct, after it's blocked if no Cowboy touches it it is down where the Bengals touch it and the Cowboys ball.

I don't get the Parson hate tonight. Dude played his *** off and the only one that shows emotion on the field. I can win alot of games with 11 Parsons onthe field.

Yep….they needed 28 tonight and they can’t score that much.

 

[MMObserver]

For those familiar with Big Mac's coaching history, he pretty much squandered his reputation in Green Bay when the Packers absolutely dominated Seattle in the 2014 NFC Championship game but their Special Teams (then coached by Shawn Slocum -- son of former A&M legend RC) gave up a fake FG TD and then muffed an onside kick.

Fitting that his time in Dallas likely effectively ended by another STs screw up tonight.

Burrow > Dak > Rush

No surprises, and if we had the number 1 overall QB Burrow, we would be better, but if you think he could take this offense to the playoffs, you’re wrong. It doesn’t matter which QBs are the best. None of them could win with this roster. Burrow has the best wr in the NFL, big, strong, fast, but he still struggled with interceptions and production when Higgins (a real quality #2) wasn’t in the lineup.

Bones Fassel snatching defeat from the jaws of victory!

Bones called a block it was executed. The bad part was trying to field the ball
