Lions/Texans game tells me the game has left Jerry behind

[SteveTheCowboy]

Watching these two teams play, the mechanics, the speed, play calling and execution...

all have us looking slow and apathetic.

I'd say CD, Overshown, and maybe Parsons...all play with a "modern" skillset. Of course our kickers are great. A handful of guys.

But...it all comes down to the way Jerry wants to operate, eh?

Maybe you can put all this in better perspective?

I agree but more importantly, it tells me how much coaching and elite QB play matter. To see a rookie QB and new OC score almost 50 points to go toe-to-toe with one of the best and talented offenses in the league on this stage, is amazing. Hate the Commanders all you like but any average football fan can respect what they did. Daniel is a rookie and I won't use him to tear down other players but man, he has ice in his veins. He took a team with one playmaking WR and a couple of elite players on defense on his back. One of the best games by a rookie QB I have ever seen but hats off also to Quinn.

He definitely looks the part and they have some playmakers but make no mistake the Detroit defense is worse than ours and plays a role

It’s always more than just the qb

We did pretty well against Daniels actually. The kid is special. Lions had no answers. We let Sean Payton leave, DQ, Parcells, Jimmy, even wade got a ring after he left lol. My gawd Jerry is inept. I think now he's got no choice but to do something very bold to invoke a cheat code of sorts from a HC perspective. I wouldn't be shocked if he goes all out for Sanders after last night. This team has fallen hard and fast but can rise from the ashes quickly with the right bold moves. The commodes showed us it can be done in 1 off-season. The Texans as well. Coaching and the QB is where it starts and we have neither.

I agree but as we all know, QBs are judged by their mistakes ( see Goff ). Goff had way more offensive playmakers than Daniel. How they say it....the bigger the stage the more pressure.

Dan Campbell and Goff had the clock strike midnight and they turned back into pumpkins. Dans greatest quality is also his greatest downfall. His aggressiveness. Live by it, die by it. Goff was relied on too heavily. I thought the Lions should be using the 2 stud rbs much more, to keep the defense on the field longer but they never did that. They got too cute , too aggressive and the other team took advantage. Ben Johnson's play calling wasn't great. I'm sorry, I'm just not seeing it. I saw a guy that was throwing crap against the wall to see what sticks. They went away from the run too much. This played into Washingtons hands.

QB always get more blame and more credit than they deserve.
Too many fans make it all about the QB and it’s not.

That said Goff looked like crap last night and when the pressure mounts as the defense plays like garbage he started to push and make uncharacteristic mistakes

On a different note I wanted Gibbs so bad in the draft and the dual threat Daniels provide is real and our qb is good but at this stage he’s a gimp compared to Daniels

The commanders have won their last game most likely

Dallas can not rise from the ashes. The Cowboys have the worst GM in the NFL. And they have one of the worst starting QBs in the NFL.

It's certainly dark times.

 

[Rayman70]

Dak isn't the answer. We also need a outstanding HC that can come in and change the losing mentality,culture. We need a guy to rally behind .We have learned that we are a QB,HC, and RB away from being a playoff team. Til then, we aren't going to be relevant.

 

[Rayman70]

Can you imagine Philly vs Washington in the championship game? It's coming. Both teams laden with former players and coaches that were on our team the prior year. Goes to show you how bad McCarthy and Dak were. Also exposes the culture in Dallas.

I'd say CD, Overshown, and maybe Parsons...all play with a "modern" skillset. Of course our kickers are great. A handful of guys.

But...it all comes down to the way Jerry wants to operate, eh?

Maybe you can put all this in better perspective?

The past 30 years tells me the game has left jerrah behind.

You’ve had nearly 3 decades of evidence.

No, Jerry was never a good GM.
He's holding the team back.

And how many teams are drafting before the Cowboys? Funny that.

So that falls on Jerry.

When I say "NFL left Jerry behind"...coaches and players Jerry brings in is the main issue.

I mean it's a bit of a stretch to say the Eagles are "laden" with our former personnel. Isn't it just Moore?

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

Well...sure. BUT...You would think at some point, jerry would..."catch up". But he keeps falling further behind. The gap has never been more obvious than watching these new young teams look fresh, energized, adept.

Even in a loss...and that's all I ask for...compete competently, even if a few mistakes get made (goff int).

No question but it's not just that but get out the way and let coaches do their damn job!
