If the Cowboys lose to the Vikings and Giants, that should be enough

We should’ve won in a blowout but Dakota’s turnovers gave the Packers life. Green Bay would’ve laid down if we had gone up 10-0 or 17-0; you never want to give an inferior team hope, and that’s exactly what Dakota Rayne did
No about it, any Turnovers revs up a team, fans go nutz. :yourock:Offense goes flat, just as we saw on live tv. :thumbdown:

Had Cooper Rush not came in and led the Cowboys to a 4-1 record, they might be 4-5 or worse at this point.
With this season on the brink of yet another crash and burn, Jerry will surely see he has nothing to lose.

As opposed to who being there, Dak or Will Grier? :facepalm::facepalm:

If the Cowboys once again see their season going down the tube, they should finally make a change at quarterback. Last year it was one game vs Arizona that let the air out of the team, as Kyler Murray came in to Dallas and outplayed Dak so bad that there was no longer the belief that the Cowboys would excel in the playoffs. I think most of the players felt they never had a chance against San Francisco after the way Arizona pounded them.
This year there have been warning signs since week one. Had Cooper Rush not came in and led the Cowboys to a 4-1 record, they might be 4-5 or worse at this point.
With this season on the brink of yet another crash and burn, Jerry will surely see he has nothing to lose. The Cowboys have repeatedly shed every player but the quarterback trying to find a way to win.
Maybe it's time to listen to those who recognize the issue is Dak.

I agree, Lee lad.
But Jerry has 40 million reasons why that will not happen.

I look at the past few seasons and the Super Bowls were won by two teams that just came out of nowhere.

In 2020 the Pittsburgh Steelers were 9-0 after nine games. They were 11-1 after 12 games. They ended 12-4 and lost in the Wildcard round.
Meanwhile, a wildcard team, the Tampa Bay Bucs were 6-3 after 9 games. They were 7-5 after 12 games. They ended 11-5 and won the Super Bowl.

In 2021 it was all about the four NFC division leaders for most of the season, the Cowboys, Bucs, Packers and Cardinals.
At one time the Rams were 7-4 while the Cardinals were 9-2, It was Green Bay that got the #1 seed but it was the Rams who won the Super Bowl.

This season isn't close to over and, although there are indications that things could go very bad for the Cowboys, who knows?

Who really knows?

Cowboys fans should be just as confident that the Cowboys will crash as they were that the Cowboys would beat the Packers.

There you go factoring non existant Interceptions. . . . One question . . . Have you blamed Shultz and/ or Lamb this week for Dak's actually interceptions?

I'm pointing out that the whole "Cooper Rush" doesn't turn the ball over is false. He has thrown passes which opposing defenders have caught for INTs and they only got overturned due to penalty. So the notion that Cooper Rush hasn't thrown bad or interceptable passes is a false one.

How do we know Moore isn’t calling run plays at the line and Dak is checking them off? Again, something we can’t objectify. Regardless, there needs to be better communication between the QB and OC regarding the feel of the game and what the main objective(s) should be depending on where you are in the game.
You can see the difference in play calling or do you think Dak audibles to dumb trick plays in the redzone? Rush didn't audible very much and had no trick plays.

I agree with you that better communication is needed, especially situational football

Against Cincy he had 4 picks that were dropped and against Washington had some that were dropped as well.

Anybody that says Rush is more accurate, better QB, stronger arm or anything in general, over Dak....doesn't know what they are talking about or is trolling/have an agenda.

So, if Dak actually plays well the next 2 games - let's say averages 250 ypg, 2-3 passing TD's, cleans up the TO's, and the offense averages 28ppg - and they lose, you're STILL gonna blame that on Dak? Even if the D gives up the 175 ypg on the ground that they've done the last 4 weeks, you're still gonna blame Dak? If you answer yes, then you've absolutely shown you are one of the "agenda" folks and aren't being honest about this team in its entirety.
Where’s the money? Simple question offense or defense? https://overthecap.com/positional-spending
Put the money on the defense if you want to lean on them, otherwise he needs to score more points and anything extra is just that extra

At least we have moved on from “if Dak wins a SB”, to “if Dak plays well the next 2 games”….

Jerry won't do it, but you Dak homers are seriously messed up. You so vehemently defend Dak for unknown reasons while we STILL wait for him to beat a winning team going back to last season. Except now he can't beat a last place team, either, if it's a big game. And yes, as bad as the defense was, he had TWO chances to take the team on his back at the end and win it. Yes, it is insane for anyone to want to start Rush, the only QB who has beaten good teams. Take off those $40 mil blinders that got you thinking like Jerry does. Dak make more money...Dak must be better QB. We should all be mad because we don't have a QB on this roster who can win a Super Bowl.

I don’t care about Cooper Rush he’s not behind center. I’ll critique him when he is. Just like I’ll do to Prescott. So what you’re telling me is you think Cooper Rush would’ve beat Green Bay. I don’t think he would’ve put up 14 points because that’s his average. The rest was because of the RUN game

I won’t critique Rush as he is not under Center, but I don’t think he would have beaten GB…

Other teams don't have the personnel to beat us the way Philly did, so I don't know if teams have the blueprint right now. The Rush argument really doesn't work because you can argue we played against better teams when Rush was at the helm (Bengals, Giants, Washington, Rams, Philly) as opposed to Dak (DET, CHI and GB).

Rush was entitled to a bad game anyways. And he was off on his throws from the very beginning. But he got the game down to 3 after the offense settled down in the 3rd. People forget that part. Eagles just came back with a huge, time consuming drive on the defense.

Rush has shown an ability to handle adversity well. It’s just comical Dak zealots harp on 1 game to tear down Rush, as if his body of work isn’t good for who he is.

The immediate problem is DAK ON THIRD DOWN.
This is exactly been his issue for years. That first int that Dak threw was completely unnecessary. Why didn't they just run the ball and take the life out of the Packers. Dak has also gone from throwing short high percentage throws to feeling the need to throw mid range throws on 3rd and 3 all the WRs are 10 to 15 yards down the field.
This offense isn't working against better teams.
