Not so fun fact: Until yesterday the Dallas Cowboys were 195-0 when leading by 14 or more pts going into the fourth quarter. Make that 195-1. THAT was an historic meltdown to a team that was reeling.

Honestly- There is plenty of blame to go around for this loss:
  • Dak was awful at times yesterday. Poor decisions, inaccurate throws. Not a good day for #4.
  • Receivers were lazy on multiple routes- Cedee Lamb and Dalton Schultz practically ran the same route on Dak’s first INT. Lamb’s route running is sloppy.
  • It’s Kellen Moore’s 4th season as OC. Yesterday he looked like a rookie OC again. The Cowboys ran the ball well but did not stick with it at critical moments.
  • Penalties…again. The Tolbert penalty was pee wee football stupid. Lining up offsides is stupid for a defensive player- BUT for a WR??? Inexcusable. And stupid penalties overall were once again a central cause for a loss. Donovan Wilson’s mindless hit out of bounds…Just stupid.
  • The team’s supposed strength- the Defense- cannot stop the run. Period. And then there’s the poor tackling.
Yesterday’s loss probably cost them any shot at the division. The season is far from over. Eight games are left. This team still has plenty of chances to do something. But when you see the same old problems over and over…it makes it harder to believe in this entire organization.

Penalties rear their ugly head again. Its a good thing that was a focus in the offseason.

Honestly- There is plenty of blame to go around for this loss:
  • Dak was awful at times yesterday. Poor decisions, inaccurate throws. Not a good day for #4. Yes, he looked like Romo.
  • Receivers were lazy on multiple routes- Cedee Lamb and Dalton Schultz practically ran the same route on Dak’s first INT. Lamb’s route running is sloppy. Check
  • It’s Kellen Moore’s 4th season as OC. Yesterday he looked like a rookie OC again. The Cowboys ran the ball well but did not stick with it at critical moments. We are stuck with Kellen "The Hammer" Moore because the fuhrer has anointed him as an offensive genius. Moore will be here for the long haul and likely our next hc LOL.
  • Penalties…again. The Tolbert penalty was pee wee football stupid. Lining up offsides is stupid for a defensive player- BUT for a WR??? Inexcusable. And stupid penalties overall were once again a central cause for a loss. Donovan Wilson’s mindless hit out of bounds…Just stupid. The refs cheated us. We would have three more Lombardi's if the refs would stop cheating us. No other team in the NFL gets cheated by the refs. We are a winning culture, stopped only by officiating.
  • The team’s supposed strength- the Defense- cannot stop the run. Period. And then there’s the poor tackling. Yeah, maybe people should tap the breaks on saying "doomsday" until we appear in an NFC championship game again, which I fully expect this year!

None of this should surprise anyone. On one end, it could be just one bad game...teams do have those. However, the Cowboys have shown us over the last 20 years that they can just be plain awful. You have a young QB who needs some good experience? You have a struggling veteran that needs a kick start for their season? Come over and play the Cowboys!! This team was never going to win the division and honestly, I am tired of this team winning the division and why? Because I am tired of Jerry and the fans thinking this is good enough. I wanna see if this team is strong enough to squeak into the Wildcard and beat every team in their home stadium. It won't happen because I believe that the Jones boys don't instill that toughness into their teams. They are all about flash and the circus. That just isn't solid thinking for Winter football.
