#1 – We don’t suck.

#2 – We got beat today by Phillip Rivers and there is no shame in that. He played a tremendous game.

#3 – The biggest key to our defense is Sean Lee and we don’t win without him.

#4 – The second biggest key to our defense is Zeke running the ball and that was missing as well.


Dez Bryant is not the problem. He caught 3 of his 5 targets, missed one on a good breakup by the DB and the fifth wasn’t a good pass. He’s becoming the Brandon Carr of the offense, a guy people hate because of his paycheck.

Dak Prescott is not the problem. He is a very good young QB with elite leadership that is halfway through his second season. Still a long ways to go on the learning curve. It took Tony Romo two seasons (after 3 years on the bench) to learn to throw the ball away instead of taking a sack. The last three games have been the first time he had to mount a comeback without Zeke and he still has to figure out that he can’t thrown a 15 point touchdown on one play. Its understandable from 24 year old QB.


I’m not going to go into a lot of detail on the game, but let me point something out. I don’t believe the refs are out to get Dallas. For years I have been a guy posting here that the calls even out and when you do see slanted calls, its to keep the score close. The reason for that is that is to maximize the advertising dollars coming into the NFL. The only time I’ve seen a game completely taken away by the Refs was the Steelers/Seahawks Super Bowl, which was blatant.

But did you feel this game had way too many bad calls at critical moments? When Dak broke into the open on his TD run, I thought “they will throw a flag”. They did, and it was a call you can make on every play in every NFL game. Then when the Chargers threw the TD pass to put the game out of reach, I rewound several times to check and two of the four Dallas lineman were held worse than what Tyron did.

When is the last time an opposing OL was called for holding?

Was La’el Collins holding Bosa or did they just want to bring that play back?

When Witten was slung to the ground, that has been called Unnecessary Roughness since they were playing in leather helmets. Why wasn’t it called?

Last week Dez took a violent hit almost two steps out bounds with no flag. This time they called a small chuck out of bounds on Jones to make sure the Chargers would be inside the 10 and pull ahead. Why the difference?

While I’m asking questions, is there some possible reason the NFL Front Office could have a beef with the Cowboys? It’s a real head scratcher.
Because they are trying to sink the league and run it into the ground

Garrett is 18-5 with a deck chair named Ezekiel Elliott. Funny how that doesn't matter.

Zeke is providing a smoke screen for Garrett. No amount of talent could ever get us deep in the playoffs with his incompetence.

I'm always the optimist bro but how can you open this thread by saying we don't suck??

I want you to tell me, how many times exactly, do we need to get blown out, in a row, AT HOME, to qualify as "sucking"?

RIGHT NOW, we are the worst team in the league.

We literally cannot score any points on offense and our defense bleeds like a stuck pig.
If that's not sucking, then there is no such thing.

Yeah, a better chance they go winless than 9-7 - your claim - however you want to structure a wager based on that. I'm game. But if you think you're going to run your mouth with zero accountability?

Think again.
why not do you think your's is the only mouth that gets to run
priceless

I'm sorry but no objective observer would predict THIS team to go 3-2 or 4-1 over the last 5 games, after seeing how we've looked recently (last 3 games).

There is literally NO reason to believe we could win ANY game, RIGHT NOW.

We cannot score points, and we give up tons of points.
If Lee and TSmith are all that there can be a case made

Lee would make the biggest difference right now, IMO (aside from Zeke who is obviously out until wk 16). But I haven't heard any word on when Lee is expected back.

And I'm honestly not overly hung up on the O line anymore. We have zero vertical passing game with or without Tyron.

@Kaiser ... how are your fellow Cowboys fans supposed to whine and belly ache about the team for the rest of this miserable season with you telling them the reality of their situation with your level headed astute analysis? That's not what they want to hear. They want to moan and overreact and behave as if the sky is falling. I appreciate your post but I suspect most will not welcome your viewpoint with such open mindedness. Thank you.

At this point there is no defending the Cowboys performance. A team can lose top players and lose games, its the way the Cowboys are losing. The club is playing without any heart and are getting wiped out. Its not all on Prescott either the entire offense is not getting it done and that starts with the OL dreadful play all this year. The trench players are not doing their jobs. Its pointless to continue bashing the less than useless coaching staff when the root problem has always been the GM.

Fine, lets do the Avatar bet. Everyone reading the thread knows the story, you are motivated enough to have a tantrum but not enough to bet the price of a freaking happy meal.

Yeah, that's why they're agreeing with me and you're totally alone.

But it's obvious from the creation of this thread that you're not too observant.
