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

[CowboysFaninHouston]

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.

oh, so rush is entitiled to a bad game. he had 3 bad games in a row. lets not forget the team scored 22 points against rams, 9 of which was courtesy of the defense. so crappy output against rams. crappy output against philly. average output against Washington. so out of 5 games, he had 2 crappy games. 3 average to below average games....how much entitlement does he get?

If the season does go down the tubes and we fire the coach, I would like to start over at QB too.

Dak is a good player, but I'd start from scratch with a new coach and system

 

[calico]

No. Cooper isn’t the answer to the problem.

 

[Bullflop]

Let's hope this team's lesson vs. the Pack becomes a stark reminder that they should avoid being beaten by the running game.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

I see us beating the Giants because their QB is as inconsistent as ours and we are playing at home. We could beat the Vikings if the running game and the defense carry Dak to victory.

Yeah, I think we lose to the Vikings but beat the Giants. I think the Giants are a good matchup for us in terms of them being favourable for us to win.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

I am kind of surprised that there has been little talk thus far about the job Corky is doing....do we see a new HC with another first round exit? How far deep in the playoffs does he need to go? Not running on 3rd down last week was CRIMINAL....he never should have admitted to us that he knew on second down that they were going to go for it on 4th if it came to that.

You do realise that Moore is the next HC in all likelihood if that happens, right?

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.

If they were going to consider dumping Dak, it would not happen until 2024. His 2023 salary is guaranteed.

They would never do it with Cooper Rush as the replacement. Anybody that believes Rush is a legit franchise QB, does not understand football.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

All good, thanks. I'll be coaching in the Azteca Bowl in Mexico City next month. It'll be good to hit the field again. Be safe. Go Cowboys!

Congratulations on that, how'd you manage that?

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

I think a lot of you dak lovers are romo haters who beg, plead and pray dak wins something so you can continue blaming romo. sad,

I supported Romo when he was here, I'm supporting Dak now, and I'll support whoever the next Cowboys QB will be.

 

[Carson]

We should do what they did with Romo and let Dak call the plays. Take Moore out of it and see if we get balanced or pass happy. Would like to know if run plays are changed at the line.

From reports I’ve read, Moore has called runs and Dak audibles out.

I believe it was 12 times from run to pass in week one.

The game vs Arizona? The air was out of the team long before that. For many of us it was the game against Denver that told us this team wasn't a contender. For most people it would have been after the back to back losses at KC and on Thanksgiving against the Raiders. Long before Arizona. This year if we lose to the Giants on Thanksgiving, I'm calling it. Most seasons I pretty much have a good idea what the Cowboys are about after Thanksgiving.

What's Rush going to do if our team blows a 14 point lead in the 4th?

 

[RobZ]

We scored 28 points. Had a 14 point lead in the 4th quarter. Blame goes to the team.

Yep

 

[ActualCowboysFan]

and all of 20 points...and still, doesn't change the fact, defense gave up 17. what would be the outcome of GB game if defense gave up 20?

I’m not disagreeing with your overall point. Just that single fact

I don't think the Cowboys blow a 14 points lead with Rush. It's possible against Aaron Rodgers, but Rush seems to understand the clock.
Rush was able to move the Cowboys offense at least some on every drive, working the clock and keeping the opposing offense off the field.
Rush is a more accurate passer; which means that he kept the clock moving, even on short passes because they were completions.
Dak seems to lack the understanding that he can't just "let it rip" when he is passing, but keeping the clock moving is almost as good as a score when time is running out on the opposing team.

I agree with you. There's just one thing that bothers me about Rush, his floaters. He throws floaters all the time. There's too much air under every pass he throws and it's obvious. It bit him against the Eagles, and I'm not even talking about the interceptions. There were a few passes around 12-15 yards that were knocked away at the last second. Those would be completions by any other QB in the league that throws it on a line.

I realize everything you said is more important than arm strength. But Rush's arm strength, IMO, is at an unacceptable level for an NFL QB. But regardless of who is at QB, the Cowboys are less successful when the QBs have to throw more passes. Rush threw the most, 38 against the Eagles. Dak with his highest of 46 against the Packers.

I have a mutual friend with Hal Mumme.....Hal and Tim Leach created the Air Raid office.

what does not blowing a 14 point have to do with Rush? would rush play LB?

rush choked against Philly. He choked against Rams. He got lucky against Washington. Defense bailed him out in every game he played. EVERY.
Rush has noodle for arms. his accuracy past 15 yards is horrible. so teams learned that quickly and stacked the passing lanes and let him go deep anytime he wants and he was unable to do so.

facts, not fiction. facts are we scored 25 points agaisnt washington with Rush as the QB, bailed out by two penalties and the defense giving him two interceptions. facts are that he threw 3 interceptions against Philly because of lack of arm strength when he went past 15 yards. facts are he mustered 13 points against a broken down rams defense. Facts. not fiction. facts are offense scored more in the past three games, than the FIVE games with Rush. facts. not fiction.

his floaters!!! he can't throw past 15 yards. he can't throw to the sideline, a must for any NFL level QB. he has noodle for arms. and without Arm strength, you are then playing Madden Football. its a must for any QB at NFL level, I don't care how good they can read a defense or understand the offense. if they can't execute, they are not going to succeed. probably become better coaches.

LOL!!! I know. The floaters are scary to behold. I held my breath every time he wasn't handing the ball off.

Just merge this....all the hate threads are getting ridiculous.....

Glad to see you back
