Difference between Washington and Dallas

[JBS]

People in here really trying to pretend like the commanders who hadn’t been in an nfc champ game for 33 years - make it the very first year they change ownership - are acting like that isn’t the main reason for their success. You people really are stupid

 

[Streifenkarl]

The difference is Jayden Daniels.

Do not act like it’s anything different. They consistently go for it on 4th down and even when they don’t convert they still go for it.

He is cool, calm and makes plays.

The fumble and 2 picks cost Detroit.

But Daniels is the reason they are where they are.

The defense is mid. The talent is mid outside of McLaurin and Daniels.

Daniels is just that good.

People need to understand this.

No one was complaining about the Lion's defense before this game. That's playoff ball.....expose other teams' weaknesses.....

I'm certainly not complaining, I'm amazed they were able to cope as well as they did. They were fortunate they had such an explosive offense that was able to cover up the massive problem they had defensively.

I'll never forget the Garrett days and how he failed at handling injuries. 1 major injury and the entire team fell apart. It was unreal how poorly Garrett handled adversity.

You haven’t watched much ESPN the last month have you? All they talked in regards to the Lions about was Detroit averaging 30+ PPG allowed in December.

2) the Washington culture has players that will run through walls for their team and coach. That gets results… someone asked Demarcus Lawrence if he’s coming back… the answer was if they pay me!…(DLaw has seen the Diggs and Gallup injuries and returns....you blaming him for thinking that way?)

This tells me DLaw is already halfway to Washington.

I’m reading some of these posts and I wonder if some of you get it.

1) Daniels has more playoff wins than Dak and is going to his 1st championship game, Dak will never see one.
2) the Washington culture has players that will run through walls for their team and coach. That gets results… someone asked Demarcus Lawrence if he’s coming back… the answer was if they pay me!…
3) DQ has done more in 1 year at the helm of the commanders than the cowboys in the last 30 and counting
4) do any of you think the next HC is going to straighten the ship
5) Jerry is the problem… period he does not care win or lose… but hey keep going to the games, buying the merch and keep the cowboys number 1 on Forbes….
That’s all he cares about…

You want change? You want the cowboys to be relevant again?

Then remain fans from a distance, stop buying merchandise, watching or attending games… when the numbers go down and they will…
JJ will move mountains to get them back there…

Or do nothing and continue to share your views and opinions, knowing full well nothing will change and it will be the same year in and year out.
Oh and those of you hoping Jerry dies things will change… Stephen is worse…

Let’s be honest if any of the 12 win Cowboys teams under McCarthy got to play Tampa and the injury riddled Lions I think our streak would have been over. Last year’s Packers were better than this season’s Tampa and Detroit. Washington deserves it flowers but I wouldn’t say they are a lock Super Bowl contender for the next few seasons.

Can't really blame him.......seen how our franchise is run, knows Jerry is gonna lowball, seen how Washington is on an upside, knows we're in circus mode for a coach, knows who the "real coach" is, knows how our fanbase turns on its players, familiar with Dan Quinn, knows Dan Quinn has a liking of his play........why not?

Bingo!! ....nailed it
But these games generally always come down to which QB plays better (fewer mistakes and/or more splash plays )

 

[beware_d-ware]

Ownership.

Jerry Jones is the problem. There is no argument there. The same suggestions (literally numbering in the hundreds) have been thrown around on this forum for decades. Let's talk about attendance.

Imagine a scenario where Jones is faced with a loss of attendance that places him at the bottom of the league in that category. Does it move the needle for him as far as the single category is concerned?

It has not done so for Jacksonville Jaguars' owner Shahid Khan. In fact, Jaguars' ticket prices have gone UP in the last ten years despite Everbank Stadium consistently low attendance. Why would Jones be forced to make decisions (like abdicate his forever GM throne) seeing a logical, realistically attainable decrease in home attendance, when the same has not necessarily done the same to one of his billionaire owner peers?

For once, let's cease blaming fellow fans about a <expletive> like Jones and finally begin having reasoned discussions about actual practical solutions. Dump the failed suggestions. Get rid of the pie-in-the-sky shortsighted schemes (attendance in any sport is made up of more than a home team's fans).

Hypothetical goal: convince passively active Cowboys fans (including finger pointers), numbering collectively in the hundreds of thousands minimum, into doing a-n-y-t-h-i-n-g. Let a handful of people start from there and create an action plan that works in the real world that motivates him into reacting.

The difference is they changed ownership - get a clue

You believe that is the sole reason?

You could have any ownership you want but having a generational QB talent smashing every NFL record is the reason.

Changing ownership was great and changed the way things are ran. But Daniels and the driving force behind this

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

The difference is .........Daniel Synder is no longer their owner.

Whereas Jed is still ours. Yes the QB is good but you have to have a competent ownership to select him, our guy would have thought he was the smartest man in the league and pulled some shenanigans and not selected him.

 

[CCBoy]

See?......its not so hard to find common ground. Cheers

I wasn't blaming Jerry, but if you want an argument, go ahead and start it.

 

[Jarv]

The biggest difference is that their dysfunctional owner was forced to sell and ours is still here.

 

[Johannes44]

Washington played Detroit who has zero defense. Not taking anything away from Washington because I like Daniels. Jared goff chokes again.

Funny how we blame Jared Goff for a loss that as largely due to the Detroit defense being banged up. But last year when GB thrashed Dallas, no one could blame Dak because evidently "he doesn't play defense." Make this make sense?

 

[NFCBeasts]

The move can still succeed through the upcoming changes. That is not name calling agenda, sorry.

Dak is not a top 10 qb … the amount of help he will need to succeed is immense. This is the third iteration of changes with him behind center … why will this time succeed ?

Can we have just a wee bit of levity on a Sunday morn?

 

[DallasEast]

Only a change in ownership, instituted a change in management, which both signed an effective head coach and drafted a generational quarterback talent, that contributed to Washington ending up in the NFC Championship game.

Unfortunately, Jerry Jones is not forced into selling his team hoping a similar run of events take place. He should simply re-adopt his pre-March 28, 1994 status.

Jones is one man. That one man is Dallas' final decision-maker. A change in management can possibly spark a different course of events but change at the top must happen first.

Don't bring it in then, Ace. You are the hypocrite. You are NOT my morale or ethical judge. That is YOUR judgement, but not the football legitimized element for discussion of the sport. You name call here...so?

He definitely has the product of a top 10 executed until this injury year. Get facts straight.
