Good news is that the next game is against the Saints, who are even more clueless right now than the Cowboys. But, at this current level of play, DAL will be fighting for their lives vs. PHL & WAS, and could easily drop the next one to the Giants. Much of this state of disarray can be laid at the hands of a coaching staff unable to scheme & adjust to injuries to key players. The O-line adjustments - weeks late already - helped keep this game competitive to the end. But, there was no plan on the OC end to adapt to the absence of Lamb & Cooper. There is no will to run the ball anymore. No driving desire to "impose one's will" upon a defense, and get them to tap out in the fourth quarter. The rushing stats and TOP figures from the past few games bear that out. K. Moore reminds me of a kid who figured out how to play Madden 2020 in "no-injury" mode. Missing the playoffs is eminently possible; this team has seen similar collapses before.
