How was the offense so poor vs ARZ?

Look at Cowboys recent history vs the Cardinals. Maybe just more of a sample size and makes one wonder if it isn't the Redbirds SB because they beat several different Cowboys coached and player led teams. Gotta be something more than just dumb luck.

We seem to play down to them. And have done so for years.

Spot on. Pass protection was pathetic.

Calais Campbell really stood out in winning most all his 1 v. 1 matchup snaps in dominating fashion but their whole d line dominated the Cowboys o line as a unit.

And yes, I also agree that Bass and Hoffman performed better when they were in.

Needs to be corrected like yesterday as the defense is already bad, if the offensive line continues to suck as in the last 2 games, they are looking at a lot more losses against this upcoming schedule.

I really think the get it out extremely quickly style offense shown against Green Bay should be the staple of this offense going forward.

Definitely makes it hard when your Tackles can't block, which forces both Ferguson and Williams to stay in and block. The defense only has to cover 3 receivers.

Hilarious. ^^^^

Cowboys will end up winning at least 8-9 games, and this poster will deny he ever made this comment that the Cowboys are only a 6 game winning team in 2025.

What's our record now? What point are we at in the season? It seems like really basic math.

Dak looked like a deer in headlights unwilling to give lamb and Pickens any opportunities downfield..

The OL got dominated , they abandoned the run.

Now Seattle looks like they are just coasting up and down the field. I know Seattle is a better team but, Dallas offensively looked completely lost last week. The offense looked unstoppable at home until last week.

Did Dallas underestimate the cardinals? Was the Cowboys game the Cardinals Super Bowl? Did Jerry saying they’ve made a trade 2 hours before kickoff derail the focus? What happened ?

I dont think that our offense was poor. And i also think that Dak played to his abilities. Like he does every game.

Its the same story every time. People think we have a good QB when he passes for 3 TDs. And people think our offense is good because they score points.

Neither Dak is a good QB (just because he is able to play against lesser opponents) nor is our offense a good one (just because it is able to score against lesser opponents).


If you guys would have the right evaluation criterias in place you would always come to the same conclusion regardless of meaningless stats or scores. And it should make you wonder if you find that one week Dak is a good player and in the next week you come to the conclusion he sucks. Thats not a problem with the player. The problem is that the way you evaluate him is wrong.

Players abilities dont change all of a sudden from one week to another. Abilities change slowly if at all.

What changes is the opponent and his abilities.


The players and the offense is always the same:

- We have a medicore offense
- a bad QB.
- a medicore to good RB,
- medicore interior line
- and very bad tackles
- Medicore TEs.

It is just more visual against better competition.


Well you can win with medicority. Thats out of question. You will even be in competition to a certain degree. Thats how Jerry makes his money.



GO JONESES!!!!!

I said "even Lamar". Despite his record, his team has belief in him in that he has won big games in the regular season and he has been league MVP twice. Dak...not so much.

Calling me a child and claiming you are not defending Dak...I guess I should take your sophomoric barbs personally. I don't...love is blind...even to its own intentions and motivations.

It's just that you're in love with a loser. CeeDee's mom and most people who played with Sweatscott know you could have the Great Wall and Dak would still choke.

well have we not won big games in regular season? we were 12-5 three years in a row. or are you saying all the wins were small wins. and all the losses are big losses. or all the wins was because of the rest of the team. and all the losses were on Dak. that's the most typical I have heard. with some even saying, it wasn't Dak that made a great play, it was the defender playing it wrong!!! go figure that one out.

and now you tout MVP, while your brothers poopoo on MVP talk when anyone mentions Dak was 2nd in MVP...so is it a valid thing or is it not? you all need to put that on your monthly meeting agenda to discuss. because from my prespective it sure looks like the goal post is on wheels.

I didn't defend Dak. but because I didn't incessantly criticize and fault him for everything, your assertion is that I defended him. that's what you Hate Dak over Dallas Cult memebers do....
yes, hate is blind. pure hate is absolutely blind.

and here you go again, you and your lover this, lover that.... I mean grow up for gawd's sake. I called you a child and you go on proving me you are child...
are you living in your parents basement still!?

you are obviously Daksessed. I am sure you are part of the Hate Dak over Dallas Cult...I think their weekly meetings is on Thursdays...so you have time to make it.

When the offense looks good it's because Dak is MVP, top 5. When it looks bad it's because the coaching, oline, and receivers all suck.

truth is always somewhere in the middle. because there are actually those who say we won because of other players and losses are all on Dak. some even going as far as saying when Dak makes a big play, then its the defense that didn't play it right, else it wouldn't have happened.

so the knife cuts both ways...as mentioned the truth is always somewhere in the middle and there are those who choose to live at the extremes.

You can't let these people off this easy. Dak directed the offense to 38 points against one of the best defenses in the league. And he did so without CeeDee Lamb and with Parsons living in our backfield. This whole "Dak struggles against good defenses" crap needs to be put to bed once and for all. But I keep forgetting. Teams that Dak lights up are temporarily reclassified as bad defenses for that one game only. So as to support the narrative.

the offense has a lot of potential but its inconsistent. not sure what it is. we tend to shrivel at big moments at times and just shoot ourselves in the foot. AZ game was a great example and I am not excluding the coach from it. so we laid a big fat egg against AZ. didn't show up against Panthers. and didn't show up against chicago.....its baffling.

but I am concerned about the tackles. and been saying it since summer. we need to draft a LT next year and get rid of steele and move guyton to the RT position.

Common sense has never been your suit.

8 games left. But, the Cowboys defense is much improved the last 2 weeks since the trade deadline. Cowboys have had the past 2 weeks off (bye week) to allow their newly revamped Defense time to get accustomed to this new system. Cowboys now have the talent to compete with the best of them.

Cowboys remaining schedule:

Cowboys should get wins against:

Raiders - Week 11
Vikings - Week 15
Chargers - Week 16
Commanders - Week 17
Giants - Week 18.

That would put the Cowboys with 5 wins out of the 8 remaining opponents. If the Cowboys can somehow upset the Eagles, Chiefs and/or the Lions, that's icing on the cake and would give them more than 5 victories out of the remaining 8 games.

Common Sense

Ok, can accept that, but:
a) has that changed from earlier season Offense, where the headline was that Dak played so well under physical pressure.
b) how do we overcome this? This O-Line is (apart for Thomas replacing Steele) what's going to be coming back in 2026.... resources are going to Pickens (possibly Javonte), Defense, Defense and Defense.
