Did anyone (besides me), see anything positive in the last 2 games, especially this past game? Out of all the people that posts on here that believes they know football?
Try to be serious and put aside your dislike for whoever is in this organization or on the team and be honest, one way or another. If you didn’t see anything positive then by all means say it, but if you did don’t be afraid to say you did, don’t be a prisoner of the moment.
Don’t let the media, don’t let fans, the current record paint your picture.
I have always said that big problems are an accumulation of little problems adding up, that things are not as bad as they seem and that things are not always as good as they seem.
So I record every game every season and I go back and watch the games at least once or twice.
I started doing that after a lot of board clashes when I first became a member back in the 90s, definitely when Quincy was the QB, so I have a lot of VHS tapes (lol).
I am a coach and I am always telling my athletes that it’s the little things that makes a difference, that a star is not just physically talented but mentally as well.
Today rewatching the game as I noticed in all the games this season, frankly for the past seasons.
The players can’t get out of their own way and I blame Jerry ( now I like Jerry and the Jones family), but I lay the blame, at his feet for why the Cowboys are mentally challenged, we have physical talented players, now the depth may not be good past the 2nd stringers but we do have talent, so the media is wrong on that, but the teams throughout the years have not been mentally talented.
That’s because Jerry had set a culture that is not holding them accountable for all the stupid things they do.
It starts with him handcuffing his head Coach, I don’t care about how little he pays his coaches, the way I see it if he paid top dollar for his HC , he probably would be even worse than he is now.
Anyway rewatching the game today, all the mental lapses ( penalties), to the bad angle that Diggs and Wilson took on those two td catches, horrible decisions flat out stupid play on their part, I say if the both of them had played it right (smarter) they quite possibly could’ve have intercepted Cousin’s passes.
The TE , Spann on one play if he had the mental savvy to just sit in the open space in the zone Dak would have hit him instead of trying to hit Tolbert on a difficult pass, now Tolbert can make that play but he jumped too early but it should not have had to try to make the catch if Spann had stopped in the open, if he had we hope Dak would have seen him and threw it. But Dak ( I love Dak) he is a top 5 QB , this year he has been stuck on 88, and missing a lot of open guys!! I don’t understand why he and CeeDee can’t understand that if Dak is completing passes to everyone it helps CeeDee replicate what he did last year.
CeeDee, he is his own worst enemy, karma is on his back because he sat out all training camp ( same for Jerry for taking so long to pay Dak and CeeDee).
All the years that I have watched football when players have sat out the whole training camp they either have a not so good season, get injured or both.
Zack Martin has retired, he really thought about retiring after last season but came back, he did but he didn’t, his play is of a player that is just going through the motions.
Jerry set this whole thing in play with the contracts and no contract, no contract renewal for McCarthy, and the one year contract for Zimmer, now you have all the coaching staff looking for a landing spot and not really focusing on their jobs ( in my opinion), you think they are professionals but yet they are human and no one is perfect.
Tyler Guyton is a converted DT, he played DT until his last 2 years in college then move to RT, in which we move him to LT.
Whose great idea was that after the season Steele had last season. Guyton should be RT, TJ Bass should be starting at one G spot Beebe could have been the other once we saw Zack’s play, Hoffman at Center and Smith at LT( until we’re able to get another), or tried Richards at LT or RT, so many combinations that could have our best 5 starting no, they can’t figure it out.
Have you ever heard the term “ that someone is so smart that they’re stupid “?
Wilson can tackle but he’s a liability in coverage, Thomas and Bell should be the starting Safeties.
Parsons needs to be a LB first, but if they don’t want to do that then draft, trade or pick up in FA another DE so that he doesn’t get wore down through out the season by double, triple and chip blocks.
I agree Zeke is done he’s a situational player at best now, Duce should be cut should not have even wasted a pick on him. I am really ok with not signing Henry, Barkley, or Jones. Should not have brought Zeke back, kept Royce Freeman, and Cook should have been playing long before Sunday and Dowdle given more time as the lead back. Lupke should get more carries and passes.
The young receivers need more PT.
Liafau is a good LB should be starting and playing all the time, Overshown is awesome, Kendricks should be splitting time.
McCarthy needs to do better with play calling and more firm with Dak on changing plays.
There was a lot of positives in the loss, but all the little things have added up to a big problem, the 5 loses and the blowouts and now with a lot of fans complaining and the media feeding them.
I think we will play good with Rush and Lance. If Lance gets to play, so don’t be surprised if we win Sunday and Monday and on Thanksgiving
