Has your opinion on the team changed dramatically since the San Fran loss?

[75boyz]

To not want to play that specific team again, yes. I do not think we are capable of beating them physically or mentally. Prior to the last match up I thought we might could fluke out an Any Given Sunday one time W.
Regardless of how they look against others.
Just not a good match up from top to bottom for this team.

 

[plasticman]

I would say my opinion was justified.

It was my opinion that the Cowboys needed a legitimate 2nd RB to complement Pollard, one that was physical enough to get the tough yards.

It was my opinion that the Cowboys lacked legitimate depth on the offensive line and that a series of injuries along the O-line could doom the team.

 

[Whirlwin]

To me no. And the reason is because the season to me is about the journey not the destination. I just cherish all these relevant football Sunday’s.

So yes we are 4-2 and right in the mix. Yes San Fran the bad guys lost twice and look humbled. But still that Sunday night game was so bad and such a non competition you honestly feel a bit hoodwinked. Like the team just sells you a bunch of fluff every offseason but in reality they just aren’t an upper echelon organization.

Every year 2 teams make it to the NFCCG. Out of 16. That’s a 1 in 8 chance. Or a 12% chance to make it every year.

To not make it 30 years in a row is beyond bad luck it tells me they just are built different and that San Fran was an example of it. The cowboys aren’t Innovative they just match the baseline success of other good teams and draft well enough to be relevant and latch holes with veterans no one wants anymore !

I think it’s about the destination, where you want to go. The journey is the roller coaster.

 

[Whirlwin]

Not really. The only way we could even imagine beating the Eagles and Niners in the playoffs would be if they sustained some considerable injuries.

Oh, we’re healthy

 

[Whirlwin]

We should feel worse about the 49ers loss, not better. They took us apart then lost to the Browns and Vikings.

It’s all irreverent. It doesn’t matter who you win against who you lose against. It’s a long season. You’re going to lose against the bad teams and you’re going to beat great teams. It’s all about just making it to the playoffs and see what happens.

 

[DallasDW00ds0n]

I’m not sure questions were answered against LA, the offense was still ugly

 

[Jarntt]

Changed, yes. Dramatically, no

 

[kskboys]

What do you think they need to do to win

Lot of people saying they need to throw down the field more

It's never that simple.

Dallas is very good. Roster wise, you are top 3 in the NFC. Anyone saying your talent is overblown is wrongly attributing scheme, culture, and execution struggles to the talent on the field.

Dallas’ unique issue is they are wildly inconsistent. If you played SF on Sunday, you may only lose by a little bit this time. Then if you play them the Sunday after that, you may win by a last second FG. Then the Sunday after that, you lose by 40 again.

The team that destroyed the Jets and the team that looked lost for 4 quarters against the Cardinals were not the same team. The team that showed up against New England, the team that was good and bad against LAC, and the team that played SF were 3 completely different identities, 3 completely different performances, 3 completely different teams.

Philly hasn’t been great every game. But we’ve had similar successes and similar faults in each of them. They all look like they’re packaged together. Same with SF, even though they’re in a 2 game losing streak, the identity of each game is similar: Brock looks least like Mr. Irrelevant when nursing a lead, and SF needs to run the ball to be effective. Every game has followed that to a T. But Dallas doesn’t have that defining identity. Sometimes your run D is unconscionable in a good way. Sometimes it’s unconscionable in a bad way. Sometimes Dak is ultra- efficient, destroying complex defenses. Sometimes everyone is wondering how Dak missed both his first and second read running wide open down the field.

It’s perplexing, but Dallas isn’t a bad team. They’re a classic Nintendo where the cartridge only works about 80% of the time. And then sometimes you blow on it repeatedly, and just accept you can’t play that game today for no definable reason.

So no, SF wasn’t any different than Week 1 last year, or week 18 last year, or the Broncos game in 2021. It happens periodically, and everyone wishes they knew why.

It definetely humbled me. As did the Cardinals loss. But I try to remain level headed and not overreact. We got our but handed to us, embarrassing so, no doubt. But just remember the 3 out of 4 blowouts prior to that game. The ones where we were on the other end of that whooping. I really wasnt surpised we lost to SF, but I was suprised at how bad we lost. I thought maybe we had improved enough to at least make it competitive. But they are still our kryptonite and we havent matched their physicality. We are still lagging. The Philly game is looking even more important. Not only to our standing, but also to gauge if we have kept pace with them. In the beginning or this season I felt that we would have to get thru SF and Philly to get to where we want to be. 7 weeks in and I still feel the same way.

 

[Roland]

I didn't believe that the Cowboys had closed the gap with San Francisco going into that matchup, and if anything, it looked like the gap had widened. I think that the Cowboys are a good team, but not on the level of San Francisco or Philadelphia when it comes to down to down physicality. Roster health will dictate a lot for all teams as to how it all shakes out, but the Cowboys IMO do not have the grit necessary to win against those teams in the playoffs.

I dont like it, but I agree 100%

Jerry thinks he's the most valued NFL franchise in the world by being "baseline". Why change success?

 

[StarMan2112]

Nothing has changed for me. I still have zero confidence we can go to SF in January and beat them.

Jimmy Johnson was the goose who laid the GOLDEN EGGS in the 90's and when JJ got jealous of this goose, he cut off it's head and the rest has been BAD history for the past 3 decades. None of this has to do with luck, it's about bad business decisions on JJ's part and his bad business decisions are going to haunt him until he's dead and gone with his 3 SUPER BOWL trophies.

Jerry dreams about fans like you.

 

[diamonddelts]

Nothing's changed. They will probably beat most of the bottom feeders and non-playoff teams but when it comes to playoff caliber teams, they are outplayed mentally, physically and strategically. Will wind up again with either 12-5 or 11-6, sneak into the playoffs, and then get their heads bashed in on WC weekend again. Same story, different year.

But hey, we can brag how they have won 12 games three consecutive years.

So true.

Not really, because I knew this team was fatally flawed already. It can't beat the top teams in big games and hasn't since 2014.

 

[ShiningStar]

the only people changing their minds are the people who fall for the faux hype year after year.

DAllas Fans: DALLAS IS MAKING THE SB

Jerry Jones: I love my fan base.

 

[nightrain]

My opinion came back down to earth after the Cardinals game. The 49er game just affirmed that.
