Right, they need to depend on Prescott's arm and the run game, however, if the defense cannot stop the other team then all is lost. I'm not a Prescott fan but he is not the only reason the team does not go any farther than they have been, although he is part of the problem by not controlling the ball since he touches it on every play.
The other parts of the problem are many. It could be the receivers not catching, it could be all the penalties, it could be field conditions, it could be weather conditions, it could be injuries during a game, it could be the refs doing a bad job, it could be the kicker missing kicks, just all kinds of stuff, the coaching, even the shape of the football.
Football is not static from one game to the next, in other words, the Cowboy can look like World beaters in one game and then crap on the field the next. The game is dynamic and changes from one play to the next because there are so many variables that could happen at any time, some good and some bad for each team.
I can't really lay all the fault of this teams success or lack of on Prescott. As petty as I am about Prescott and why I dislike him is because he is getting rewarded for being elite which he is not, that and his no trade clause is why I started to dislike him. I would never hire a player that I could never get rid of even if I wanted to.
But, then again, what the hell do I know?
Oh, and one more thing that might send me to the bench, there are some posters that want to make the dislike about Prescott's play racial and I don't play that game, but there are those that do, and I will not reveal who they are because they know who they are.
The Cowboys will win the next playoff game after beating the Redcommanders.
