That's nothing. Some fans have already quit on next year.
lol. because if one thing correlates with sport team winning, it's fan sentiment.

last I checked, they weren't paying fans $400k-$60m to disband belief.

but the season rests in the balance because "running it back" with the same failed group for 30 uears is not universally lauded by people who pay for the product

It's a team game, defense and coaching played a part too but the QB is the most important position and he choked it up.
You can project all you want, you may find a few homers to agree with you, but the entire football world does not.

In the GB game, Dak put our defense in a deep hole with a INT inside our 20, a Pick 6 and two missed 3rd down conversions all before halftime, led to 27-0.

Come on, give me something REAL to dispute that fact Rockport
Im not a Dak hater nor a Lover he is what he is but Your right he stunk it up him and CeeDee not on same page heck Im not sure Dak was on page with anyone that game
The Coaches got outcoached and the players got outplayed.

They actually will have quite a bit of turnover on the roster this year. Getting a new left tackle and center is pretty major.

When the offense is running the football everywhere and making big plays, and then throwing to receivers who are not covered for big plays, I can see how that might demoralize the defense. Go back and watch the beginning of the game. The Cowboys defense stopped them but then Love would throw a duck 25 yards downfield to a receiver who was 5 or 10 yards from the nearest Cowboys defender. That happens once in a while to every team. But GB did it to Dallas about 5 times that game. Meanwhile, they couldn't stop Aaron Jones who seems to save his best days for Dallas.

Maybe GB just outsmarted the Cowboys. That's possible. Or maybe they just exploited the Cowboys problems on defense - and offense - because the Cowboys had those weaknesses the entire season.

And this is what is most disturbing about the Cowboys offseason. Those same issues from last year, may actually be worse this year unless a few young players miraculously improve in 1 off-season.

I won't deny trenches are more important than most "skill" positions, but LT wasnt an issue so it's a future/sustained pick .

the RBs - Elliott. Davis. deuce. my god
qb. same 30+ year old who freezes in playoffs
wr- nothing new
dts...hope making isn't a bust
lbs..some retread that maybe stays on the field 6 games more than the neck guy
maybe center is the 1 objectively better spot.

the rest trended down

I am on record many times ....criticizing defense, o line, coaching, run game...all of it. So that is a fact and you know it.
Yet you make posts putting the entire blame on the QB anytime someone defends him. Get outta here with your **.

Show me what posts you are talking about. Or else to take yours and get out.



If you see me giving my opinion in a dak thread, thats me following the rule of staying on topic. Imnot gonna list every other critism first just to satisfy your pathetic dak ultra crusade.

So be a man and show everyone. Nows a great opportunity to shut me up...if you got it in ya. Make sure it really is me "blaming everything on dak" or you could look even more foolish.

You can't dispute what I'm saying or the entire football world with any facts, that's who you are.
You act like a bought and paid for writer, working for Dak's agent for about $15/Hr.

All you do is pedal pro Dak non-sense all day, probably on Twitter and FB too.
You're probably an apprentice working out of your Mom's basement with multiple accounts on the site.

...yep, gotta agree here. Effen Dak, fell right into Packers game plan.

By 2nd qtr, the guy turned Autistic.
Good way to put it. When things get moving too fast and confusing and out of order around Dak, he spirals into a full blown panic attack. Maybe they should try some anti-anxiety meds.

+1.....there is zero reason to believe they have cleaned up any issues from last season.

At the end of the day........The Packers wanted it and the Cowboys didn't. It's as simple as that IMO
that's just silly though. of course the cowboys "wanted it" and in the video thomas says they were extremely amped up and excited and believing and ready to go. but they got beat. not everything needs to be platitudes.

Uhhh it isn't silly at all. The Cowboys wanted nothing to do with it. The leaders had already quit and the rest of the team was more than happy to follow suit. The Packers had to pull their starters in the 3rd quarter. The Cowboys were done with the season. It was beyond obvious.

IDK man......everyone agrees they were not prepared. That's on the players or coaches or both....as mentioned "they got beat" but WHY?

PRetty much everyone stank
Those desperately trying to say Dak did not amuse me
Dak was not great but he (and the team) would have fared a lot better if CeeDee would have brought in those first two passes that hit him right in the hands. If I'm not mistaken both would have been for first downs and kept drives alive instead of having to punt to an offense that was owning our defense. I see no reason to ignore those two drive killing drops and the impact they had on the rest of the team.
