I realize all of this but I'm seeing some disturbing trends in our QBing and our defense. For several games going back to last year, Dak has taken steps back and his arm looks noticeably weaker, and he's trending back towards being afraid to throw down field again. We can't win like this. And defensively, we look the same as that last playoff game we played. I'm sure we have time to turn these trends around, but I'm watching very carefully in the next 4 games to see where we are with what I just mentioned.

Washington is tied with dallas and phil, does that sound normal?
Is it ok for dallas to have same record as Wash >?

Their rookie QB who has not done all that well has the same WL record as our 60 mil a year vet QB !

Plus jumbo this was not just a loss, it was a blow out !

This reads like lowering expectations so that our favorite team can reach them.

Enabling.

I see the fan base relationship with data is as flawed as that of Jerry Jones. Washington is first in the division, while Dallas is in third place.

Ok sure

But this argument would hold more water if the reasons for the loss weren’t the same
Issues the cowboys have had for years now.

Inability to run the ball, inability to stop
The run.

This team is not better than last year's team. In fact, it is probably quite a bit worse. They lost too many pieces without adding really anything.

What we saw Sunday is the same thing we continue to see whenever they go against a shanahan like offense. They have no answers. In 2 out of the last 3 games, both the packers and saints could have put up 60 points if they really needed to. Our defense basically quit in both games. And our offense is not good enough to handle the pressure of having to score TDS on the majority of their possessions.

Looking at the schedule, this team will be lucky to win more that 9 or 10 games.
