McCarthy's offense looks like the NFL has passed him by.

Elliot may be the best RB on the roster. What a failure that is.

We don't have a true #2 WR, and offensive scheme isn't helping one to emerge.

We really don't seem to have much of a "running scheme".

We have to use WR's to attack the edges in the running game, our RB's aren't capable of doing it.

Cooks and Turpin lack vision as runners.

From what I could see on gameday film, our LB play was lousy, filling the wrong lanes, jumping in the wrong gaps, lack of awareness in their zone drops.

Despite the supposed pressures, I didn't think our pass rush was all that great last week against backup OT's. It didn't look any better this week. But, we couldn't stop the run either. And, it wasn't close.

Our O-Line needs to improve. There are signs of disaster lurking.

We look good enough to go on a big winning streak during a softer part of our schedule. But, I don't think these things go away. If anything, they get harder to cover up.

Mike would love to call a different game. He can’t. Dak can only handle
The short throws. Thus his
High percentage. Dinks , dunks , curls , slants , RB dumps , Screens yada.

That’s why we always lose once the D gives up an opening score or we fall
Behind.

Dak isn’t a QB who can make the downfield throws or hit the deep post when it counts. Once Dak is behind it’s clear as day the Doe Eyes. They even show them on TV for that reason.

Next four years are a Lost cause.

U don’t get “great”. It doesn’t just “ come “

You either have it or you don’t.

Dak clearly doesn’t

Disaster has been lurking for awhile.
It usually strikes in the playoffs when we play a decent team.
How long can we be just good enough?
Just staying relevant while beating patsies?

You think playing QB is all about down field throws? The good offenses are all passes underneath….there’s no greatest show on turf offenses in 2024.

STHU. Patrick Mahomes was dinking-n-dunking all game long to a total of only 151 passing yards, 2 TDs, 2 INTs and a passer rating of 80.6 against a Bengals defense that is not as good as the Saints defense. I don't hear anyone criticizing Mahomes for his poor performance which his team carried him for a win. That's because Mahomes has more and better weapons at WR, TE and RB.

What weapons does Dak have? Only CeeDee. Our RBs aren't good enough, our Oline stunk and couldn't get any push or open any holes or pass protect. Our stud TE didn't play due to injury. His backup was average at best. CeeDee is our only weapon at WR.

Not even Patrick Mahomes would have succeeded playing with this Cowboys offense today. Dak is not the problem. Get over the blind hatred already.

Mahomes has already won multiple playoff games and SBs. Even when he struggles in a regular season game, he comes along in the playoffs and owns every defense.

Dak has had 9 years, multiple all-pro linemen, top-tier WRs and a great RG to prove himself as other than a front-running, stat ladder against garbage teams and he flat out sucks….

It is what it is..

Oh, yeah? Where are those all-pro linemen, top tier WRs and RBs today?

Please enlighten us...

I don't think switching from Moore to Schottenheimer was a positive overall.

Team still beats the bad teams. Offense goes AWOL vs teams that punch them in the mouth.

I stopped reading as soon as you mentioned Machines. You're comparing a thoroughbred and a donkey.

We just paid Dak the kind of money that requires a QB that will have to win with less, when he couldn't win when he had more, and you guys have been laughing about that. Enjoy Dak's "big win," it's likely the only one you'll ever see.

I was going to make a new thread but I will just put it here for now:

It's not that we lose...it's the way we lose. I know...at the end of the year nobody caveats anything. An L is an L.

Bengals versus Chiefs, for example. You knew ONE of them was gonna lose. But both teams made a game of it. Bucs and Lions. A game.

Us? A sham. Embarrassing.

As long as this team is “relevant “ Jerry and players dont care

This franchise needs to be embarrassed repeatedly before they will bat an eye
