I'm not going to defend the defense. There were a lot of issues but the the offense hung them out to dry multiple times. If the offense had played like it did with Cooper and just ran / not turned it over, Dallas wins this comfortably.
Seriously, do you know who the Clownboys were facing today???????? The GB AAA Packers with a beat up QB and we all watched as that QB willed his team to victory. The Clownboy defense has turned into a joke, OCs have figured out how to beat this defense and they are making it look too easy! Up by 14 should have been a death sentence for the Packers today, but the Packers were face a non-existence run defense and they destroyed the Clownboys today. As for Prescot, unfortunately for the Clownboys, they don't have a QB who can carry his mates to victory, they have a QB who is mediocre at best and struggles bigtime in meaningful games and make no mistake this was a meaningful game even though it was against a AAA team.

If this is the defense we’re going to see the rest of the season we’re done! It appears to be regressing. Parsons hasn’t been as good as he was the first few games of the season which is part of the reason. We were bending early on, but now we’re breaking. We’re not keeping teams out of the endzone like we were.

They better figure it out quickly, with the Vikings and the Giants coming up. They can't afford to regress much further.

Hear me out. Cooper Rush wins this game b/c Moore calls a more conservative/ run oriented offense with him in there. This team is not going to win with Dak Prescott conducting an air dominated offense. We should have stuck to the run game which was working beautifully. Dak reminds me a lot of romo........ he keeps both teams in the game.
I can't say unequivocally, but I also think Rush might have won this game. Why? Rush moves the ball more consistently. He's just more efficient. No, I do not think he's the answer.

For some reason there are those who wish to cling to the hope that this defense could go 16 games with Cooper Rush, by playing Conservative on offense, only scoring a limited about of points and just hoping that the defense can go in every game holding opposing offenses to one TD and under 20 points per game. Which isn't a realistic way to sustain wins long term in the NFL. As it was proven in how the defense gave up 29 and 31 points in back to back games.
Cooper Rush might not win us a playoff game but he would have won this game. Cooper Rush might not Win us a playoff game but he will get us there. Same as Dak.......minus the 40 million a year.

Fun fact: The Cowboys win less than 35% of their games when Dakota has 35 or more pass ATTEMPTS.

Rush wins the Green Bay game but nobody quarterbacking this team is capable of a playoff win

Or we want to see the team be successful and we RECOGNIZE what's holding the team and franchise back?
Just to be clear. Cooper Rush would've won this game for us?

If you answer "No", no problem...back out of this thread because you've clearly misunderstood the topic.

If you answer "Yes", well okay then. Carry on with your assertion..

Cooper was entitled to one bad game after going 5–1. Rush was off on even basic throws against the Eagles to start the game, but he still got it back within 3 and the Eagles were able to sustain a long drive and score in the 4th.

it’s comical to me Dak-stans latch onto one bad game by a third-string QB to prop up their bum 40 million dollar QB, as if this negates the fact Rush was running the offense better than the “”Dak-friendly” offense than Dak was.

Dak was supposedly going to give this team big play ability with the “run game”…. Yeah OK..

They've been calling better games for the backups for years.

We watch Pollard *and* Davis tearing off big chunks late in the game, but so many times it's a first down pass, then if that fails a second down run which fails for being predictable.

Lamb gotta lotta yards. Also probably cost an INT. But there's no speed and that's shortening the field on Dak, and he don't like that.

We really should be running more. The oline is better at run blocking. Pollard is more dynamic than Lamb. And even Davis looked pretty good. And limiting passes limits turnovers.

Just as RBs have run counts, QBs should have pitch counts. Their attention and concentration is not infinite. Some real vets can do it in their sleep. Dak ain't there and may never be.
