Do any other teams commit blunders like the Cowboys?

atlanta getting 8 sacks giving dak ptsd for the rest of the season
several timekeeping blunders at ends of games
the latest fair catch by austin with tens of yards of green ahead
receivers all running simple curls
dl running twists and stunts all the time that take a long time that make them vulnerable against certain runs.
i cannot name any other right now
please feel free to add to this list

but the simple question is whether any other team(s) commits such incredible blunders?

I dont even believe bottom feeder teams commit more blunders than the cowboys.
 
Nope... the other 31 teams certainly don't make mistakes like The Cowboys! :facepalm::huh:

Yeah, the rest of the .500 and under teams do, too.

Yes. It happens all the time, you just don’t remember it happening to other teams because it doesn’t hurt you when it happens to other teams.
 
It's fair to say the Cowboys are much stupider than average, and have been pretty consistently that way since Parcells left. It's baked into their identity to play sloppy, undisciplined ball. But they don't literally quit, so the flabbier parts of the fanbase give Garrett a pass for it.

Absolute worst, though? Looking at the Commanders and Bengals this year I'm going to so say... nope.
 
Other teams also make mistakes, but all the mistakes combined is Cowboys play.

Andy Reid is bad at clock.
Chargers blow away leads.
Colts did stupid things under Pagano like that 4th down play against Pats.
Vikings vs Saints in the playoffs where Diggs made that TD.
Broncos vs Ravens, where Flacco threw the 70 yards pass.

Combine all those and we had our share of similar moments.
 
Couple things: We are a younger team for the most part, Garrett is a living clapping blunder, Kellen is super young even though he’s been coaching since he was a kid, and the play calling on D is exposable.

Having said that the “Blunders” are drive stalling penalties, dropped passes, and turnovers...

-Carry on
 
I'm sure other teams do. But other teams aren't as high profiled as the Cowboys.
So if the Browns screw up or the Lions screw up or the Jets screw up (unless it's a totally mortifying butt fumble) few fans care because those teams are perpetual screw ups.
But when the Cowboys screw up, it's national news. And that's because we're the most popular team in the NFL and among the top five (Yankees, Celtics, Lakers, Manchester United among the tops) internationally.
Half want to see us win, the other half want to see us fall on our faces.
That's the burden/blessing/curse of being America's Team.
 
Remember, no team is under the scrutiny of the Dallas Cowboys. Talking heads dance and throw parties when the Cowboys lose. But to answer your question the Cleveland Browns stick out like neon lights. Their coach is totally over matched.
 
Other teams such as Jets, Dolphins, Titans, Browns are expected to lose. If they lose in some miracle way, it is expected.

We are pumped up as contenders though havent gone to NFCCG in 25 years.
 
I agree that we are under intense scrutiny. BUT most would agree that we are among the most talented teams in the league and that we're underperforming so these gaffes and blunders are noted even more.

Considering there have been a multitude of teams over the past decade with much worse records than the Cowboys, I'd have to say it seems likely that other teams blunder as well....even in Super Bowls.
