Not shocking at all

[HungryLion]

The results so far this season are not shocking at all.

The weaknesses of the team are exactly what the “haters” have been pointing out all off season long.

Can’t stop the run. Can’t run the ball. No good RB’s. No good DT’s. Inconsistent Lb play due to the youth at the position.

Lack of speed and explosiveness at WR2 and WR3.

Rookies on OL are struggling as they learn and Terrance Steele is still vastly overrated.

The Cowboys just aren’t a very good football team right now. So it shouldn’t shock anyone when they play poorly and get beat.

So strange! So being unwilling to improve your team results in your team not improving?

 

[John813]

Don't worry, Giants are next. A win and it's superbowl bound

 

[ShortRound]

I’m happy Jerry is reaping what he has sown.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

They are not playing as a team.......

Don't disagree with one word you have said.

Can improve over the season though, since a lot is inexperience. Can move both ways.

Defense is truly just an immense anchor.

Moral Victory, bro.

I'd hate to be the Giants right now.

Could, maybe. But every game counts. Games in week 2 and 3 count exactly the same as games in week 18.

I don't think anyone is going to say 'I told you so'. There's no point.

I'm curious why you didn't say anything about Dak. His passes were all over the place and contributed to the poor offense.

We like our guys, especially Malik Davis. Well, Jerry does at least.

Every year we ignore the interior of our defensive line and every year we have the exact same results. You cannot run to the Bargain Bin every year to fix it. It doesn't work. The same goes for running back. We had zero running backs on the roster capable of helping the offense and we didn't draft one.

It would be interesting to see what running backs were on the board when we took our fourth backup tight end in the second who contributes absolutely nothing to the offense.

that about sums it up. BUT....that was the outlook PRIOR to the season....but yep....Dak and his contract are the problem!!!!!!!!!!!!! If only Dak had taken the contract that Tua got...it would have solved everything!!!!!!!!!!!!

We aren’t winning against the Giants

I think everyone realizes if we are anywhere near .500 by week 9 we can have a good season.

But unless the defense improves, its a lost cause.

 

[The Quest for Six]

About where I thought the Cowboys would be record wise, 1-2, didn't expect to beat the Browns or Ravens, even though beating the Browns and losing to the Saints......Cowboys are just a very average team

Because I don’t want it to devolve into a solely Dak thread man.

Dak hasn’t been good so far this year either. But we are stuck with him for at least 3-4 more years.


But beyond Dak this roster has serious serious issues too. So I wanted to focus on that. Plus. We know Dak is good enough to win a bunch of regular season games. He just can’t get it done in the playoffs. Which of course is a big problem. But now the problems are even worse team-wide.

 

[John813]

We aren’t winning against the Giants

Which would be hilarious, and not that surprising

Why do the DE/Edge players who give up the edge all the time get a free pass? I get it, DT is bad. But Parsons, Lawerence, ect... have been just as bad in the run D.

Just want to make sure we are being complete in blame for the run defense issues.

Hey. Maybe the cowboys still have a winning record. But do they look anything like a contending team right now? Like they’re even close to being Super Bowl caliber?

I mean. They’re awful the last 2 weeks. Just awful.

 

[Bob-Lillys-War]

We scored in garbage time .



3 full Qtrs without a TD

Parsons is who he is. He is undersized at DE. But he’s also an elite pass rusher.



The FO should be putting players around him to help the run defense. So parsons can focus on what makes him special, chasing QB’s. That’s what the FO should be doing. But we haven’t had a great DT in like 15 years.
