The defense can’t keep anyone out of the endzone. The Saints, Ravens and Lions scored TDs on their first possession. We can’t stop the run and we’re not pressuring the QB. That’s not Dak and the offenses fault. Some of you continue to defend the defense when it’s been garbage. The main problem with the offense is our OL is struggling and we can’t run the ball. Guyton has struggled. I said if our draft picks don’t hit the ground running we’ll be in trouble. We did virtually nothing in free agency and the only chance we had to make any improvement was with our draft.
You know what the common theme of those games are? Turnovers, Dak doesn't have the defense that can bail him out of his dumb decisions. He should also know that he needs as much points as possible... playing for FG's or throwing picks in the red zone is no excuse for a 9 year vet. O-Line penalties don't help but WTH are they doing in practice??? The worst crap is that its all at home!

Also, Who cares about the other team scoring TD's first, we know its a given with the state of this DEF. We have seen this offense march the field only to come up short every time.

Those late TD in the game don't help either! They always come fast and that puts your tired DEF back on the field knowing they haven't been able to stop a lick.

At this point, The O needs to know every game is gonna need to be a shootout with the way this team is built.

He’s made some bad decisions, but there’s also been problems with him and CeeDee being on the same page. CeeDee’s head seems to be somewhere else now that he’s been paid. There’s also been OL problems that have contributed to some of the turnovers. Guyton has been a disappointment so far. All our first round OL picks hit the ground running, but he’s struggled. Penalties are still a huge problem. The redzone penalties are killing us and we can’t run the ball which is putting games on Dak’s shoulders. We can’t run the ball in the redzone so we have to throw and the redzone penalties are forcing us to have to throw. Not going after Derrick Henry was a huge mistake. We did absolutely nothing to improve the team and have gotten worse. The problem isn’t our QB.

Jerry Jones is the #1 problem.

He is confused at what kind of team he has built.

I’ve listed the on the field problems and they all start with Jerry. He’s the one that put this team together. The off-season is supposed to be about improving your team but we got worse. All we did was sit on our hands during free agency. Pretty much the entire fan base knew we would be worse.

The best thing about this last game is I didn't buy a ticket, deal with traffic, parking, crowds and see it in person. I felt terrible for the fans at the stadium suffering through these Cowboys*. The Lions were kind by not running the score up to 100 - 9. Happy Birthday, Jerry Jones. You 've done it again.

As it stands, I'm waiting for an apology from my TV for showing me that travesty*. A bye week is an act of mercy.

*Brandon Aubrey is still worth rooting for. There are others that kept fighting as well. Finally, separate Cooper Rush from Dak. The interceptions are starting to rub off.

Then, why is the FO agreeing to the deals. And, Dak’s deal is a 4-year extension on his last year of his existing deal. Thus, it’s basically a standard 5 year deal they can get out in 2026.
Because the FO is football dumb. They just don't get it.

KJJ we can get over the original shock of that contract, but I'm afraid it's going to take a little longer to get over the lasting effects of that contract meaning the effect it has on the salary cap. But you're right in one respect, it's signed and sealed and a done deal no matter how harmful the effects are. We have no choice but to live with it whether we like it or not.
Well the average Dak defenders logic is just because It is done with, we should be happy, cheer the cowboys, instead of complain about it. You can love your team and realize something is a raw deal and be vocal about it.

Blaming Jerry is a copout. It's like blaming the weather for a football loss.

Jerry is not making Dak a bad passer. He IS tolerating Dak as QB1.

Broaddus' theory is that Jerry doesn't believe in Dak, but was pressured by Stephen and Will to sign Dak. Now that he sucks - just as Jerry suspected he would - he can't throw them under the bus and has to eat it...so he lashed out.

So again, while Jerry might be the source of the problem, he's not the reason why Dak chokes. Dak chokes because HE IS A CHOKER...and Jerry sucks because he tolerates the choker.

Dak has brought new meaning to being average, interception prone, locks in on one player, throws into double coverage, is rattled in key games and is in perpetual "I have to be better" mode.

So, at your job, you've been cool taking less for the benefit of your fellow workers, right?
Its not quite the same, because 1) wages are kept secret for a reason in the corporate world 2) There is artificial Salary Cap in the corporate America, there are only real world caps. What I mean is for most employees what you neighbor makes doesn't change what you can make. Its not a situation where you are offered a raise where you take up 25% of what the office building can get and then everyone in the office knows about it. :) I mean most of us aren't Elon Musk and wouldn't have such an effect on a company. For most people, taking a raise won't adversely impact their team mates.

It does not in the N.F.L. either. It is not the player's responsibility to keep the gang together or chime in on the operations budget. If a team does not have the salary cap space to sign a star, he is often free to go to the highest bidder. Why should a star take a pay cut when other guys can go to another team to get their money if need be.

Peope fall for the okie dokie and the crab mentality created by owners. Educated men or men with good council will not fall for such a low brow scheme.

That is your perspective. The perspective of others is that there is more of a visable impact, where you can see someone trying to get 60 million a year, and you can see the talent drop off and the team not being able to get new weapons and keep the supporting cast at the same level before. And the person who is fighting for all that money knows he might be adverse impacting the team but greed of me me me keeps makes him listen to his agent versus someone like Brady who wants to win deciding that he is rich anyway and will take a deal that will help him and the team win another superbowl. Then we can also see as fans if they player taking a deal was worth it and not, and as fans can be upset at both our idiot owner and the greedy player. That's you who believes you can't get mad at the player for exploiting the situation. Others have a right to a different opinion, as in saying geez this guy is stinking it up and hurting this team for years to come.

Did Dallas go to the Super Bowl when Dak was on a rookie contract? Dak was on a rookie contract for multiple years. Was a Super Bowl roster built during that time? How far did the team go during that timeframe? Why should a player leave money on the table for the worst GM in the league to allocate? Use logic to ask yourself these questions.
