I’m usually very positive about the Cowboys

I’ve never been more upset about a regular season game than this one. The entire team stunk, all 53. The lack of effort was just terrible. Pick 6, dropped balls, dropped punts, penalties and poor coaching. By far, Dak’s worse game of his career. I’ll give some credit to the defense but they didn’t play very well either. They don’t have a LCB, the linebackers are all bad and their DT’s probably wouldn’t start on any other team.

Can they come back from this stinker? Sure they can. Hankins, LVE and Biadaz should all be back. Time for the leadership of the team from coaches to players to stand up and demand 100% from everyone of them.

I haven't been angry after a loss in a long time, but I was livid after this one. There is just no excuse for playing that poorly. Anger drops a snap on a punt, Turpin drops his second punt and loses the ball for the second time in a month, Maher misses an extra point. Dropped passes, bad passes, pick sixes, no running room. Big plays from a rookie QB playing his very first game. It was a total embarrassment. Washing let some their best player inactive today too. It was a lack of focus in a game that could have been for the division title. Unacceptable performance.

And Dak. What can anyone say. 14-37? His passes were high, low and stupid. I though something was off in his throwing motion but since no one else said anything I thought maybe I was seeing things. Whatever, he was trash today. Jerry really messed up giving Dak $40 million a year. This is exactly the type of game that made me question Dak in 2019. Dak has these games and usually late in the season. If he plays like this next week the Cowboys will get beaten by Tampa Bay again.

This was a total team fail.

As bad as we played today we could play just that good against Tampa Bay.

There is just absolutely no consistency with this team we know we are capable of beating any team in the NFC if the right team shows up.

And if the team that showed up yesterday comes to play we can't beat a high school team.

So all we have is awaiting game. They're really isn't any use in speculating because this team is just so inconsistent that there is nothing you can hang your hat on

Dak wasn’t the only player that sucked. The whole team, including the coaching staff, sucked.
I wholeheartedly agree. It was a total team ostrich egg. However, when your QB plays like that, the team ain't gonna have a shot against anyone. Hate him or love him, Dak is our most important player on the field. He just can't have a game like that heading into the playoffs. I think he'll bounce back, but how far is the question.

That was an embarrassing performance and living in the DMV area I will have to hear a lot about it for a week.

But I've always believed that the playoffs are a new season and everyone is 0-0.

Tamp has the GOAT, but I watched them play yesterday and they have some issues also.

If you have extreme emotions attached to the results of a week 18 game that didn't adversely affect our position in the playoffs then you are doing something wrong. You should have had an understanding going into the Washington game of our worst-case scenario. The 5 seed in the playoffs is not a bad way to enter the playoffs. So stop being so upset about a regular season game that didn't matter.

very vanilla offensive plan. Just go out there and beat you guy. They couldn't do it, obviously, but there was no play action or motion. Just lined up with simple routes. Washington has a good defense.

It sucked for sure, but I don't think its necessary indicative of what we see on Monday. I expect to at least be competitive. Especially with our center back and a few pieces on defense.

You know Rock I would really like to think this team can bounce back. I'm having trouble trusting this team because we saw the same thing happen last year. They had horrible loss against Denver and it's like suddenly the team is exposed and the other team knows their playbook. They never seem to regroup and adjust their play calling. Before yesterday's game I thought they would have a decent chance against Tampa and thought Philly was the team to worry about. But now I just don't think they can beat the BUCS.

It’s certainly not looking good. But I’ve seen them play great this second half. They just need to get on a roll.
