We look like one of the worst teams in the NFL.

Question how do we look so bad after coming off of 3 twelve win seasons?

On offense we mainly have the same guys minus LT Tyron Smith and Center Tyler Biadasz.

And on defense I know we are missing our best players for most of the season (to be honest when we had the starters we haven't looked good on defense except when we played the Browns) but man this defense is the worst Cowboys defense I've seen in a while. Was Dan Quinn play calling and scheme really making this defense seem wayyyy better than what they truly are? I guess we are really missing Sam Williams, Dorrance Armstrong, and Dante Fowler Jr. this season. BTW Dante Fowler Jr. plays starting strong side backer for the Commanders.

Minus the OLine getting worse, both by subtraction and the fact that Martin has gotten older in a hurry, and the running game getting worse, both due to worse personnel and an inferior OLine. On defense the team is missing its best players and because the offense is weaker they can no longer get a lead and force the other team to pass it. Forcing the other team to abandon the run was basically the only reason the defense last year looked good and it is why power run teams dominated the Cowboys. Basically you can trace the defensive problems back to Mazi Smith being a bust.

Two gross drafts in a row. At least so far. For a team that operates the way Dallas does, this is probably the biggest one.

Waiting until the last possible minute to hand out mega extensions they were gonna pay anyway. You're doing nothing essentially this year with the cap space that those created.

The RB room. All would be forgiven there if they had just stuck with Rico and grabbed a guy this year in the mid rounds.

Having the worst interior DL that I think I've ever seen.

Keeping McCarthy and his merry gang of yes men and 'glad-to-be-here' coaches.
