....Glimmer, its our culture. Silver spoon fed team. You know, rich kid high school.

Where you dont have to work tremendously hard for things.

There's no fire in them. It all comes in candy bag.
Culture is a big problem. But so is the rest of the NFL. The new policy in place. No more two a day practices or being to hard in them.

Every year it’s the same. Smash some teams and get a big head. Lose a game we should win. Then get back to winning a game or so.

But when the big test comes we get skunked. Badly at that. This is the same old team I am afraid. With egirls playing the way that are we may not even make the playoffs. If we do it’s one and done..

The game last night let us all know. We don’t have the team. Our whole team lost that game. Defense got eaten alive. No pressure and couldn’t stop the run. They let purdy do what ever he wanted.

Dak played the way I figured. You can tell in the first quarter how he is gonna do. He threw 3 picks. And was under constant pressure. Not to many qbs could have done much better. Our starting O-Line was on the field at the same time for the first time. Had no gel to them. I expect them to get better as it goes. But from the bottom up we stunk. Dak has got to tuck and run instead of holding the ball. Ends up getting sacked or throwing the pick.

We will now go a winning streak and beat most anyone. They will give us confidence we can win it all. Then we will have another clunker in the playoffs. We have 0 consistency.
This team won’t beat the Eagles and I think drops at least one to the Commanders.

They could very likely get swept in December.

I think it’s realistic and not hyperbole at all to say this team could very well miss the playoffs. And it will be because they, once again, made no attempt to actually better better in the offseason.

I totally agree, he did have a lot of come-from-behind wins earlier in his career, and he beat some very good teams and QBs. It all changed after the ankle injury. He’s completely lost his confidence and doesn’t use his legs like he used to.
Yep. He waits until it’s too late. Look at playoff game. He finally took off and rams hard. Was the wrong time but he did it. He used to do that instead of holding on to the ball. It only takes a few times a game to back teams off.

Unfortunately today I can’t disagree with you. Typically we bounce back no matter who the team is.

Yep, and I'm bored with it.

Let's try something else.

He had 18 rushing TDs, his first three seasons and only 8 rushing TDs, his last five seasons. Running was a big part of his game and what made him real good. He was a huge threat in the redzone because of his ability to takeoff. Since the ankle injury, he’s become very apprehensive to run and it appears he’s lost a step or two. He’s not the same player he was.

Lol. People are going to start wanting Lance soon. If we put Lance or Rush in that game last night it would have been worse. Dak needs to tuck and run in situations. He stopped doing it.
the only game worse than we had was the Denver 70 point mess. Dak has never won a thing and is getting worse (he looks lost). Time to make a change

Yep, beat up on the weak teams on your schedule, roll up the points and stats and then lose to anybody good. Keep pointing out how you have a TOP 5 offense and lead the league in takeaways, etc only to crumble in big games. At least they are usually close games. Last night the Cowboys were never in that game, you really can't call that a game.

Crazy. When we got that turnover early I thought that was the spark we needed. But just couldn’t get going. They killed our defense. They could have put up 60 on us if they wanted to. Was closer game last year and we supposedly have a better team.

I agree. But when I watch him take off he is still fast enough. He should have used the legs in red zone last night. These are the teams he needs to do this to. The staff don’t want him doing it and it’s killing his ability and the team.

It’s not our choice. And now JJ sees it as a chance to get him on a cheaper deal. Lol.

After his injury or after his big pay day?
Lol. Good question. I think it was after the OT win against pats. He reinjured the leg worse than what we know. It scared him.. And the staff..

Some folks still look to absolve Dak. Incredible..

“No QB could have done anything…”

For the sake of argument maybe, but no QB would have sucked as bad as Dak did.

Also, Dak did not have a lot of come from behind wins his first 3 years, they were all in his first year and it wasn’t come from behind, it was game management with a RG and OL wearing down opposing defenses. Those type of “comebacks” were defined as being down to start the 4th, even if that meant a 1 pt lead. All that shows is Dallas was playing it close to the chest, just like they were with Rush. And Rush was 5-1.

He’s always sucked in the last 5 minutes of a +/-8 differential, meaning when the team needs his arm to win. He’s been in the bottom of the bottom among QBs.
