Fanbase owes Lamb a apology

[Kwyn]

It’s almost like no player gives a Hall of Fame highlight reel performance every week.

Crazy!

 

[foofighters]

He’s good 95 percent of the time and rarely lets us down.

Thank back to the Cowboys are their 12-win seasons. He's got mental lapses that kill drives that need to be sustained, and I wouldn't go as high as 95%. I get that you're a bit high on him because he is coming off to big games but prior to that, the talk was focused on GP. Now that GP, disappeared last night, everyone is all high on Ceedee. You gotta take the emotion out of it. Ceedee represents exactly what this team is and for this team to have any real shot at the playoffs this year, they needed a win last night and it didn't happen. I am not a fan of Michael Irvin, but I certainly don't remember him having the mental lapses that Ceedee does and Ceedee is a more gifted athlete.

If you haven't noticed, this message board is a What have you done for me lately message board. The same crowd who wanted Lamb moved now think Pickens is a headcase, and wouldn't want him back. The same message board with thought Dak was an MVP now doesn't even bring it up. The same message board that thought we were SB-bound now see no future; it was all about this year

The level-headed actual fans of the TEAM loved to see the progress....loved 2 WR 1's....loved what we saw from the D.....were more encouraged to see '26 and beyond as we weren't even at the level to compete in '25.

Again, what have you done for me lately, not big picture fans dominate this message board

No football convictions...just temperamental cheerleaders.

“Not a fan of Michael Irvin”



Cant take you seriously

This has been our narrative going back to the Romo days.

Its often been our best players taking turns crapping the bed at crucial times.

The only way to fix that is to have more overall talent on a better constructed team, with better coaching. The true clutch players are really rare imo.

Pickens didn’t lose us the game but he certainly went ghost. His route running was lazy and embarrassing l.

Yes, and the ball they hit him in the hands that turned into an interception, He's had fumbles this season, he got lucky they got recovered by our own team, not making an effort on that ball that hit him in the foot, he had a bad game, he did look like he wasn't into the game that much..

I'm with you, you got to love these people over here saying George Pickens is better than him, no he's not.. Completely different receivers and I'm taking Lamb all day, he's under contract, he's not going anywhere, but the person that could go somewhere and give us a 1st round pick to further build a better defense when we fire Matt Eberfles, george Pickens can be used as an asset, a 1st round pick save that money, because it didn't help last night to have two star receivers not even after Lamb left, flournoy was just as good and just as bad Literally had a ball hit him in the stomach, should have been caught it was ripped out blamed on the quarterback somehow These receivers get a pass and Lamb doesn't.

Now since we're piling on lamb I think we should trade George Pickens Put the franchise tag first round tender get a receiver in the draft by utilizing that pick not having to pay over 30 million for the second receiver in Flournoy he's gonna further develop why do we need George Pickens he didn't help us last night having two highly paid receivers is not necessary..

I'm not getting on George Pickens but he's only one of the two that can be used as an asset to help continue to rebuild this team especially on defense we do not need him on offense...


Lamb is still our number one receiver ,he still is clearly the number one, I don't care how physical and the 50-50 ball nonsense that George Pickens has it makes him look a little like Dez Bryant at times, that doesn't make him better ,that makes him different....

But yeah, this game was pretty much lost because Ferguson, Pickens, and Flournoy, trenches, the turnovers, it's on them ,not the guy who threw the ball to the those who lost the ball...

Who knows what would have happened late in that 4th quarter if that ball that went to Flournoy or Pickens went to Lamb Maybe we win the game we'll never know he went out with a concussion but I put my money on him any day i'm supporting Lamb i'm with you don't let these people pile on...

 

[VaqueroTD]

CeeDee knows he done bad and showed up last few games to answer critics. And except for that Green Bay game where I felt the ENTIRE team let us down, I have never thought of him as one of our guys to call it a day in the big games.

 

[baltcowboy]

We lost. He got concussed. And I love Pickens but this team because of two games of drops threw Lamb to the gutter. Said Pickens made him expendable.

He’s still our best receiver bad body language and all. And he didn’t use being double covered as an excuse either. He’s still our guy.

They both are good but when our defense is pathetic the board blames the offense.

Pickens is injured. He has been limited in practice since the Eagles game.

 

[John813]

Give me the WR that has concentration drops over the WR that is half-assing routes out there and “gives up” because hes being doubled

Not to start a war, as I don't hate either receiver, but CDL has had games where he has checked at times.

 

[MyFairLady]

Mmmmmm not sure I have anything to apologize for. Average players, average team, insane contracts. They got it pretty good.

 

[WillieBeamen]

He has. BUT it was never often enough to where the team wanted/needed to move on from him

Thats what i dont get about the fanbase and their love for GP. Is he a hell of a player? Yes, of course.

But he has a history of games like last night’s. And paying him $35m+ will probably lead to even more. Just think about it. You do that in a season u are trying to get paid??

At least with Ceedee, we have seen him play for weeks with a separated shoulder because he didnt want to turn his back on the team

I agree there's more of a risk with Pickens, as his attitude was present at Georgia, and Pittsburgh of all teams got tired of him.
So, definitely a risk locking him up long term. Will we get good Pickens? Or will we get the UGA/Pitt Pickens who "keeps it real" and takes dumb penalties than stay focused on football.

There was a dude in the game thread who called him a pansy for going out. Maybe he was being sarcastic. I hope he was being sarcastic.

 

[visionary]

Bottom line is the CD with his CRITICAL and repeated drops and Pickens with his diva moods, neither DESERVE anything but rebuke from fans

I would take a WR like St Brown right now over either of them. Stop yapping, stop dropping easy balls and just fricking do your job that you are paid 30 million per year to do

ZERO apologies

CD cost us the first Philly game
Pickens and idiot 87 cost us the game last night

ZERO apologies

Glad he remembered how to catch the ball.
For someone paid like he is, the drops this season were inexcusable.

Ehhh, Brown has a case of the dropsies as well including some pretty big drops including a big fourth and 2 drop against KC that they eventually lost. He also had a couple of drops including a crucial 3rd down pass against Philly a couple of weeks ago.

The grass isn't always greener. Lamb does deserve some criticism but the vitriol some directed at him is hilarious. Again, a guy in the game thread called him weak for going out with a concussion. Huh?

It's not even the thing I'm concerned about,

the Cowboys have to make a tough decision like they did with Parsons ,when you could put a first round tender on a player he gave a 3rd round pick for, and you can save money by trading him, That's about 30 plus million dollars you can continue to help build the defense, you can get a receiver in the draft by turning that first round pick into multiple picks, and now you have Flournoy, may be ready to be a number two, we haven't even seen Holden yet...

they Can go get a cheaper veteran if, that's the case at WR2 until you develop somebody else, that's the big question here, and I've been saying this since more than a month back, he's played himself out of Dallas, because I believe Dallas needs more than just a another elite wide receiver, because it didn't help last night ,He was Bad George last night in my opinion ,and that's not why I would let him go, it is saving $30 million, getting a first round pick in a draft ,where we don't have a lot of picks..

So, nothing against George as far as what we see good George bad George, this is about money, and draft picks resources, he's an asset he's the biggest asset ,we have to accelerate us getting better next year regardless of how great people think this duo is...

 

[blueblood70]

How is that any different than the two fumbles and the two interceptions that you can put on Pickens??

how about his lazy routes not going after a ball last night ,jogging on some of his routes, That's inexcusable ,you trying let him off the hook for two interceptions ,that were on him, That wasn't a big moment last night, Those are considered drops, bigger drops, because they turned into interceptions, he's also fumble twice, he's lucky we got them back..

the Cowboys' offense has been playing with fire with the fumbles the last couple weeks you had a couple by Ferguson this year that rolled out of bounds, we got lucky last night ,we didn't get lucky and then you have Flournoy and Pickens creating turnovers, That's inexcusable so let's keep it real and keep it balanced in here lay the blame across the team not one player talk CD lamb to me is still under contract he's still the better player in my opinion he's still a homegrown Dallas Cowboy if you have to make a choice you let go of Pickens first round pick saving a lot of money it makes more sense...

And the fact that Williams has fumble twice this year Sanders fumble blue fumble so yeah let's pick on our elite top wide receiver that's a Cowboys for life drafted by the Cowboys And somehow we're not going to go and look at all the bad play across the team we're just going to pick out the inexcusable drops mainly in two games against the Eagles in one that we won.

right...

That was stupid
If the guy cant play he cant play but he drops easy passess a lot
Last nights loss was not him but on Pickens and Ferguson. Both TOs and a terrible defense and STs are why we lost the game
