Five indisputable facts about the Cowboys

[Starstruck22]

1) This is a severely undisciplined team with all the penalties and offsides
2) This offensive line is no longer able to pass block or run block
3) Micha Parsons, despite the last big play in LAC game, has become a non factor in games suggesting a 2023 slump
4) Gallup is a bum, cannot get open and cannot catch anything. He should be trade immediately. Cooks was amazing, enter Tolbert
5) Dak is really incapable of finding the open man downfield (Ferguson down the seam wide open for 6) when he was not harassed

bonus observation: these refs nitpicked dallas and not LAC on pass interference calls. It is so blatantly obvious that the same metric was not equivalent for both teams.

 

[TwoDeep3]

I suggest 3 is speculation.

5 is the fan seeing an open man, but perhaps Dak didn't. You assume a great deal when you get a replay without defensive linemen in your living room trying to break your legs.

Pretty sure those "indisputable facts" are opinions. I agree with some, to one degree or another, but not all.

3) Micha Parsons, despite the last big play in LAC game, has become a non factor in games suggesting a 2023 slump

Jesus. Only Dallas fans. Indisputable facts, he says.

He occupies 2-3 blockers on almost every snap that he rushes. And still is getting a lot of pressures that are affecting throws. But he's a non factor in a slump...

1. Sure
2. They are not playing well. No argument there.
3. Come on man. He has 6 pressures (led the team) and a sack on the game deciding drive. He was very good tonight.
4. Gallup is toast. Agreed.
5. I wouldn’t say incapable. But he is not seeing some open guys. That’s true.

exactly my point. Dak is not seeing the open man he had no defender on him and moved to his left and refused to throw it to Ferguson. even
aikman made the point that the middle was wide open all night And that Ferguson was wide open. Aikman said, throw it throw it dak. I remember when dak would throw down the seam all the time. No longer even considers it. He was not harassed on that play. Was not at all.

The offensive line sucks and cannot run or pass block is nitpicking. Look at the other posts on here. Not only my observation. Getting lucky and winning despite not be able to run or pass block is shocking.

1) This is a severely undisciplined team with all the penalties

Lots of calls both ways. The refs called a very tight game. Cowboys should have told players to watch the ticky tacky penalties.

SMH...

Dak was taking his 7 step drop and playing out the fake handoff. Plus, he had pressure on him immediately. That's why he didn't see Ferguson get open down the seem.

Shultz was targeted 93 times on average the last 3 years or 5+ times per game. Previously Witten was most likely even more than that.

Ferguson, who is a bigger target, has good hands and is a much better YAC player than both gets targeted less than twice per game.

In a cover 2 defense the middle of the field is wide open, but we have no clue on how to attack the zone with a more than capable TE.

3. Come on man. He has 6 pressures (led the team) and a sack on the game deciding drive. He was very good tonight.

And was getting held all night.

Dak’s pocket awareness leaves a lot to be desired as well.

How do you know what Dak thinks? Or see? Or what he will not do any longer?

And could it be possible he is selective because he sees a game going down to the wire and needs to protect the ball?

Speculation = opinion in this instance.

1 2 and 4 on point. 3 Absolutely wrong, and 5 Dak is what he is, he's not elite, but your glad to have him over an average qb.

Completely agree on 5.

If Aikman hadn’t of commented to make some type of color guy comment, no one would have second guessed it but now this is some type of “evidence”.

I suggest people go back and watch the play.

I knew when I saw the word “indisputable” there would be several points that would be in dispute.

Might as well toss some “always” and “never” comments in there.

When he ties up that many blockers he is definitely relevant. I never will forget watching the Lions play years ago, and watched as 3 (count em) defenders were lined up across from Calvin Johnson. And heres the kicker, he still caught the ball.

 

[plasticman]

You are saying that these are "indisputable facts". Isn't that a little strong?

They are your personal observations. However, are you sure they are unbiased? Your descriptions are a little vague and you offer no measurable standard.

For example, you call Gallup is a "bum" and then seem to define that as not being able to get open and catch anything. However, he has now caught 18 passes for over 200 yards. He is ranked #48 in receptions. If you consider that the first 32 receivers are pretty much the #1 receivers and subtract them from the list then this leaves Gallup at #16 among all #2 receivers. He is in the middle of the pack.

Therefore, you seem to be implying that half of the 32 starting #2 receivers in the NFL are bums.

If Gallup continues the same productivity throughout the season then he will have around 50 receptions for 600 yards. It's not impressive, it's average, but I wouldn't say it's worthy of being labeled a bum, especially if it's claimed an indisputable fact.

Completely wrong on #3.

In regards to Gallup. He struggles to beat his man off the line. He can not win on these stupid short passes vs man or press coverage. He does win on longer routes. Of course they shouldn't have paid him but now they also mis use him.
