How did we get so bad from 1 season to the next?

They finally got a qb. They will probably win the division.

Sadly the Commanders look like one of the best teams in the NFC. I wouldn't be surprised if they made it to the Conference championship game or Superbowl. They are playing good football especially on offense. They only have 3 turnovers on offense, which is crazy.

..the laws of balance come to play. Not every year is going to be same.

TO many random factors involved. I had bad feeling about this year, after GB loss and MM coming back.

It's all part of the process.

How many GOOD teams did Dallas defeat last year?

The league adjusts and when you don’t have a coaching staff that can adjust back it’s a major problem

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.

It is not just losing Smith and Biadasz. Zack Martin is playing the worst he has in his career. We replaced Tyron Smith with a rookie who is clearly not ready. We no longer have a RB threat. Pollard is way better than anyone on the roster. We don't have Gallup and frankly, Cooks has not been great this year. And, to be honest, Dak is playing as poorly as I have seen him in his entire career. There is a big difference on offense.

The defense needs to explanation. We lost our top 4 DEs to injury Never had a quality DT. We lost Fowler and Armstrong on defense to free agency. Fowler has 6.5 sacks. The Cowboys sack leader is DLaw with 3.

This team fell off a cliff in the off-season because we let a lot of talent leave and did not replace them with equal talent.
