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

Rush isn't winning anything he is a backup. He just showed us how good the team itself can play without Dak. Dak is a problem that's festering.

the defense is on the cusp of giving up a record streak of rushing over 200 in consecutive weeks....i call that festering, I mean literally for 6 years we have been talking about this rush defense maybe festering passed us by a while back. Changing your QB will not fix that....now if you have an upgrade at QB im all for it...but you still need to fix that run defense.

I totally agree. It was a bad cold it was a bad play. Prescott never should’ve released it. But how was he supposed to know the player wasn’t going to be where he was supposed to be on a timing plate.
I assumed he would have seen how crowded it was with defenders. Did the WR even see it. Looked like one running up that never turned around and was there another one coming across he was trying to hit. Looked like 2 defenders standing right there..

This isn't true. As the defense had to work overtime to limit opposing offenses, By limiting them to 20 or less per game and one TD while Cooper Rush was playing. Cooper Rush also got lucky that a couple of his INTs got overturned by penalty before the Eagles game. If his INTs had stood against Washington, then the outcome of that game could have been different or the defense would have been put in a more difficult position of having to stop Washington's offense for a chance to win the game.
There you go factoring non existant Interceptions. . . . One question . . . Have you blamed Shultz and/ or Lamb this week for Dak's actually interceptions?

Because He was staring Him down the Whole Route . . Causing the Safety to creep up . . . Therefore necessitating the "Change in Plans" . . . I am sure Cooper Rush would have recognized that. . . .

Maybe The fact that Lamb had to play with Cooper and His ability to read defenses as opposed to Dak's style of stare 'em down and chuck it at 'em is having a negative effect
I don’t remember the play that well, could be right about staring down the receiver. I don’t think he had time to steer down the receiver , It was that fast but who knows

Long sustaining drives would be Moore not getting pass happy.

The defense also had a chance to get multiple stops in the 4th quarter and OT.

The offense deficiencies was because of Rush. If you can't see the difference with the offense with Rush compared to Dak than I can't help you.

The loss to GB was a team effort. Nobody gets more blame or less. But also remember the fact that GB simply has own the Cowboys no matter who was QB for the past 15 plus years
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.

I can see them losing to the Vikings who are a very well balanced team. But the Giants are bigger pretenders than any team in the league.

Rush isn’t it though, I wish they would have traded for Minshew before Philly…..much more capable than Rush.

Minshew has an 8-14 record. Only lasted 2 years with Jacksonville.

Probable more capable than Rush but much more? Hasn't shown that...

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.

the team was competitive because Cooper kept the chains moving and didn't make the wrong decision at the wrong time. . . in fact He made the right decisions at the right times. . . . Dak's mistakes have led to points and have hung the defense out to dry

Now be honest . . . How many posts did you make critizing Cooper's "almost" interceptions and in contrast How many posts have you made about Shultz and Lamb's interceptions?

Be Honest
Ok. Too funny. When anyone tried to explain something on Dak, it was called an excuse or spin... Now you are doing exactly the same.

In the end, moving chains and getting yards etc. Which he wasn't doing.....is meaningless. It comes down to points scored. Points given up. It wasn't as if the team was dominating time of possession.
He had three three interceptions against Philly. He threw two against Washington but got lucky because of penalties..

So come on now. Let's be honest. your Rush Crush is empty....same guy who was cut three times. Was left unprotected at the beginning of season. Not a single team thought he was good enough to even be a backup for them is now your saviour?

FYI...This is my very first post about coopers almost interceptions.

And at the end of the day his highest output on offense was 25 points. At the end of the days points win and lose games. Not moving the chains.

Cooper doesn't hang the defense out to dry . . .

There is a direct coalition to the defense and it's performance on the field this year and the QB under center

Its your Blind Love of a certain player which makes you unable to see it
No, the defense does the scoring for him...

And let's not forget he led the offense to zero points against the bengals in the second half.

Actually if you learn to watch game tape and take off the agenda driven glasses, you would notice the safety was moving backwards and CD ran right up into him, never looking back for the ball that was thrown when heade his cut and then the safety went for the ball.

But I get it that it's hard for a novice to see the small nuances... Keep at it...you will learn..takes time.

We predicted you guys would start blaming the defense, the coaches, and officials when Dak took back over.
Why do you think it is that the defense suddenly became so bad when Dak came back in?
Do you think they liked Rush better? Do you think there is a scheme by the defense to make Dak look bad?
How many times has the defense simply decided not to play to their capability?
Or could it be that Dak puts a strain on the defense they didn’t have to deal with under Rush?

Did you by chance watch the Eagles game where Rush forced pressure on the defense with 3 turnovers? Fans have been complaining about the run defense for a while now, I don't know how Dak or Rush factors into that equation, but please explain. Thanks.
