Cowboys open as 6-point home underdog, will likely lose to bye week

[zekecowboy]

If you’re supremely frustrated by the 2024 Dallas Cowboys, raise your hand. Wait, it would probably be easier to count whomever isn’t frustrated to raise theirs. Okay, thanks for self-identifying… all three of you. Security please escort these patrons out of the stadium. Oh, even they sold their tickets to Lions’ fans?

There’s no way a fan of the Cowboys isn’t upset or embarrassed by the product Jerry Jones has put on the field this season. Anyone looking, okay, anyone shielding the sun out of their eyes while looking at the performance of the team in AT&T Stadium cringes with shame at what has become of the best home team in the NFL over the last two seasons. The Dallas Cowboys are not fit for primetime, late-afternoon windows, and their worthiness to be put on live television at noon is under scrutiny. Is tape-delay sports viewing still a thing?

And it’s wild to say that about a team not currently in position for a top-10 draft pick, but that’s where things are for the 3-3 Cowboys.

I don't get the headline. Hone underdog? They are playing in SF next. Or is this referring to the Lions game?

No matter. But the reinforcements the article refers to, with the exception of Bland, were available for two of the 3 home blowouts. I don't see how they help get the team to .500. Maybe they keep the Cowboys out of last place but I do not see this team beating Washington. The Eagles are in some kind of funk too, which is worse than Dallas because the Eagles at least have some real talent on their team. Who knows what they do the rest of the season.

I don't see the networks pulling Dallas out of the late afternoon games slot. The Cowboys still attract an audience for whatever reason. I would welcome more 1:00pm games though. That way the games don't interfere with my dinner plans.

Someone being goofy.

I'm going to do the same thing I did last Sunday, run an alternate spread bet that has the Niners -21.

Should be easy money. Might as well generate profits from this mess.

It's a lame bye week joke
